The Weekly Analysis – Economic Package Edition
There are two aspects to news- knowing the headline and understanding the intricacies of it. We at The Connectere focus on both. While The First Forum edition gives a brief about the headlines, The Weekly Analysis Edition is meant to educate the reader on what do various news mean and what are their intricacies. This initiative is meant to educate the reader on how to understand the important news. In the Economic Package Edition we are covering the following news:
1. RBI raises the borrowing limit to 3% of SLR under the Marginal Standing Facility
2. ISRO facilities now open for private players: What does the new Government order mean?
3. EGMs now allowed via video conference, other audio-visual means
4. How does a new definition help MSMEs?
5. Credit Guarantee Scheme to the MSMEs
6. Liquidity relief to taxpayers, employers and employees

RBI raises the borrowing limit to 3% of SLR under the Marginal Standing Facility
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said that the outlook for domestic financial markets remained highly uncertain and the Coronavirus pandemic would accentuate growth slowdown. The central bank also reaffirmed that better transmission of monetary policy impulses will remain a priority. The Reserve Bank has announced to conduct auctions of targeted long-term repos (TLTRO) of up to three years tenor of appropriate sizes for a total amount of up to Rs 1,00,000 crore at a floating rate linked to the policy repo rate. Liquidity availed by banks under TLTRO's shall be deployed in investment-grade corporate bonds, commercial paper, and non-convertible debentures over and above the outstanding level of their investments in these bonds as on March 27, 2020.
Further, the CRR requirement of banks was reduced by 100 bps from 4 percent of NDTL to 3 percent which would augment primary liquidity in the banking system by about Rs 1,37,000 crore and the minimum daily CRR balance requirement was reduced from 90 percent to 80 percent and this dispensation will be available up to June 26, 2020. In view of the exceptionally high volatility in domestic financial markets and to provide comfort to the banking system, banks' limit for borrowing overnight under the MSF by dipping into their Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) was raised to 3 percent of NDTL from 2 percent.
This measure will allow the banking system to avail an additional Rs 1,37,000 crore of liquidity under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) window at the reduced MSF rate of 4.65 percent. The policy repo rate under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) was reduced by 75 basis points to 4.40 percent from 5.15 percent with immediate effect. Accordingly, the MSF rate and the Bank Rate were reduced to 4.65 percent from 5.40 percent. Keeping in mind the persistent excess liquidity, the existing LAF corridor was widened asymmetrically to 65 bps from 50 bps. Accordingly, the reverse repo rate was reduced by 90 bps from 4.90 percent to 4.00 percent. The purpose of this measure was to make it relatively unattractive for banks to passively deposit funds with the RBI; instead, these funds should be deployed for on-lending to productive sectors of the economy. Thus, the reverse repo rate is now 40 bps lower than the policy repo rate while the MSF rate continues to be 25 bps above the policy repo rate.
ISRO facilities now open for private players: What does the new Government order mean?
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 16th May 2020 said the private sector and startups in the country will be allowed to use ISRO facilities and other relevant assets to improve their capacities. Also, future projects for planetary exploration, outer space travel, etc., will be opened for the private sector, the FM announced while addressing her fourth press conference to announce the government's roadmap towards self-reliant India and revive the economy battered by the nationwide coronavirus-induced lockdown. The finance minister further added that it will provide a level playing field for private companies in satellites, launches, and space-based services.
Also, the government will provide a predictable policy and regulatory environment to the private sector, Sitharaman noted while announcing the reforms for different sectors. India already has the benefit of an extraordinary institution like ISRO, but now lots of private players are also coming in with innovative space technology. We will allow private players to benefit from ISRO's assets and give them a level-playing field to boost India's space sector further. With a special focus on the space sector, the Finance Minister added that there is a lot of geospatial data available in India. Currently, startups, tech firms, and private companies have to go abroad, but that will now change. This is a sensitive area and will follow strict guidelines, but will make information available to startups and private firms.
Responding to the government's announcement, ISRO also tweeted that the Department of Space will follow Government guidelines and enable private players to carry out space activities in the country. According to reports, there are about 120 active startups working in the space sector now. And, most of them emerged in or after 2014. As of 2019, their cumulative funding stood at $6.2 million. Startups will also now have access to the treasure trove of data with ISRO as geospatial data policies become liberalized to provide remote-sensing data to tech-entrepreneurs.
EGMs now allowed via video conference, other audio-visual means
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued a circular allowing companies to hold Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs) through video conferencing (VC) or other audiovisual means (OAVM), complemented with e-voting facility or simplified voting through registered emails. The relaxation does away with the requirement of the shareholders to physically assemble at a common venue. The Companies Act, 2013 allows ordinary and special resolutions to be passed through postal ballot or e-voting route without holding a physical general meeting.
However, in present lockdown/social distancing conditions due to COVID 19, postal ballot facility cannot be utilized by the companies, an official statement said. It said that the circular issued by the MCA allows listed companies or companies with 1,000 shareholders or more to provide an e-voting facility under the Companies Act, 2013 to conduct EGM through VC or OAVM and e-voting. For other companies, a highly simplified mechanism for voting through registered emails has been put in place for easy compliance. The framework leverages the strengths of digital India by using a combination of VC and e-Voting/simplified voting through registered emails to enable companies to conduct their EGMs. As the meetings will be conducted over VC/ OAVM, the facility for the appointment of proxies has been dispensed with, while representatives of bodies corporate will continue to get appointed for participation in such meetings. This framework allows the companies to hold EGMs through VC and OAVM without compromising on the other requirements of law.
As an additional check, all companies using this option are required to maintain a recorded transcript of the entire proceedings in safe custody, and public companies are also required to host this transcript on their website for greater transparency. Further, all resolutions passed through this framework will be required to file with the Registrar of Companies within 60 days, so that such resolutions may be viewed publicly.
How does a new definition help MSMEs?
The Union Finance Minister broadened the definition of micro, small and medium enterprises. This was made under the first part of the recent economic stimulus package for Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. In order to redefine the MSMEs, the government has taken the following measures:
Increased investment limit.
Introduced turnover based criteria.
Eliminated differences between the manufacturing and service sector.
Here look at the new definition of MSME.
Micro Units: Companies with investment up to Rs.1 crore and turnover below Rs. 5 crores.
Small Units: Companies with investment up to Rs. 10 crores and turnover below Rs.50 crores.
Medium Units: Companies with investment up to Rs.20 crore and turnover below Rs.100 crores.
The definition has been changed in favor of MSME. The new definition has a message that no longer small companies have to remain small to avail benefits. The old MSME definition prevented these companies from growing. There has always been this fear that if they outgrow their size of what has been defined as an MSME, they will lose their entitled benefits. This is why MSMEs like to remain within the definition rather than grow. With the revised definition, they will not have to worry about growing their size and can still avail the benefits. The most important is the quantum jump in the definition of an MSME, which had not been changed since the MSME Development Act of 2006 and was long-awaited. But the manufacturing companies opposed using their turnover as the sole criteria arguing that it would allow traders to claim MSMEs (and the linked benefits) by importing goods and selling them without adding to the country's manufacturer base and increased the competition for genuine MSME.
How is this beneficial?
It likely to benefit retailers and contractors as the distinction between manufacturers and services has been removed.
It will help in the seamless expansion of small and medium businesses in the country.
The upward revision in the investment limit of MSMEs will help bring an increased number of units access to institutional working capital.
Turnover criteria bring greater transparency in the classification for the government to verify a company turnover using the GST data than the investment in machinery etc. Plus, it allows a lot of firms especially in the service sector like mid-sized hospitals, hotels, etc to be eligible as an MSME.
In addition, the government has disallowed global companies from participating in tenders up to Rs. 200 crores, earmarked that space exclusively for Indian companies to boost self-reliant India, Make in India and vocal about local initiatives. So, with the decision to not have global tenders, the redefinition with assisting the MSME sector in the growing and emerging as a vibrant and dynamic sector contributing to self- reliance, and employment in a big way.
Credit Guarantee Scheme to the MSMEs
The Finance Minister has announced the details of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan economic package. The main thrust of the announcement was a relief to micro, small and medium enterprises in the form of a massive increase in the credit guarantee to them. A Credit Guarantee Scheme by the government assures the bank that its loans will be repaid by the government in case the MSME falters.
Why the introduction of the Credit Guarantee Scheme?
Efforts to pump liquidity via the banks have been a non-starter because banks simply do not want to lend any new money. Banks, quite justifiably suspect that any new loans will only add to their growing mountains of non-performing assets. Thus, the government faced a dual problem wherein banks had money but were not willing to lend to the credit-starved sections of the economy, while the government did not have enough money to directly help the economy. The solution to solve the dual problem faced by the government is the Credit Guarantee Scheme.
So, what is the quantum of credit guarantee provided to the MSMEs?
There are three proposals but the main one is for the stranded MSMEs i.e. those MSMEs which were running fine until the COVID-19 induced lockdown disrupted their work. For these, the government has provided collateral-free loans worth Rs.3 lakh crore. This is like an emergency credit line and it is for the MSMEs that have an already outstanding loan of Rs.25 crore or those with turnover less than Rs.100 crore. The loans will have a tenure of four years and moratorium of 12 months (that is, the payback starts only after the 12 months) valid up to 31 October 2020.
In the other two proposals, the second one is a Subordinate Debt Scheme worth Rs.20,000 crore will be provided to MSMEs that were already categorized as stressed or struggling to pay back. In this case, the government guarantee is not full but partial. The third one is Equity Infusion is the creation of a fund with a corpus of Rs.50,000 crore to infuse equity into viable MSME, thus helping them to expand and grow.
How far will these measures help?
The credit guarantee helps the formal banking system to meet the credit demand of the MSME sectors.
These measures are likely to have a significant impact on helping MSMEs to pay salaries and keep their hands above water even as the economy slows down.
This will benefit the 45 lakh MSME units, who are really in need of working capital and cash flows to resume work and save jobs.
There is always the other side of the coin. The Credit Guarantee Schemes creates moral hazards as borrowers remain assured of paying back and the lender remains assured of receiving credit amounts. Subsequently, the government is forced to pay the amount. A more prudent option would have been a half guarantee (say an 80%-20%) wherein the government assures to pay only 80% of the new loans. This circumvents the problem of a moral hazard.
Liquidity relief to taxpayers, employers and employees
The first tranche of the AtmaNirbhar economic package was focused on small industries (MSMEs) while some relief was also given to the honest taxpayers, employees, and employers because the economic package is also for the middle class of the country, which pays taxes honestly and contributes to the development of the country. The Finance Minister announced a slew of measures to give relief to the taxpayers. These include a reduction in rates, to the extension of compliance dates for IT returns and prompt tax refunds. Three major takeaway for taxpayers are:
TDS / TCS Reduction In order to provide more funds at the disposal of the taxpayers, the rates of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) for specific non-salaried payments and Tax Collection at Source (TCS) for specific receipts will be reduced for 25% of the existing rates. Payments for interest, rent, dividend, commission, contracts, etc shall be eligible for this reduced rate of TDS. The government expects that the reduction in rates will help out Rs.50,000 crore in the hands of the people in the form of liquidity, which they otherwise would have paid as tax.
Income Tax: The due dates of all income tax returns for the year 2020-21 will be extended to Nov30, 2020. Similarly, the tax audits will be extended to Oct31,2020. The dates for the making payment without an additional amount under Vivad Se Vishwas scheme will also be extended to Dec31,2020. Hence the extension of due dates will enable the taxpayers to defer the payment without attracting any interest.
Tax Refunds:All pending refunds to Charitable trusts, non-corporate businesses, and professions like proprietorship, partnership, LLP, and Co-operatives to be issued immediately. Thus, ensured Rs.18,000 crore refunds given to taxpayers, the intention being liquidity in the hands of the people. The government highlighted that 14 lakh payers will be benefited from the cleaning of the IT refunds. However, opposition leaders wondered how the money that the government anyway owed to the citizens was labeled as a relief measure to combat the pandemic.
It has to be noted that these measures don't bring down the tax liability of taxpayers, it leaves more money with them adding the course of the financial year.
In a relief to the employers and employees, the government made two key announcements regarding a contribution towards the Employee Provident Fund. First, the extension of EPF benefits for another 3 months (Jun to Aug) for companies employing up to 100 workers of which 90% less than Rs.15,000 per month. Second, the reduction of the Statutory Provident Fund contribution by both employers and employees to 10% of basic wages from the existing 12% for the next three months. This decision has been taken to facilitate more take-home relief salary for employees and give relief to employers in payment of PF dues resulting in liquidity ease of Rs.6,750 which will have an impact on 4.3 crore employees and 6.5 crore employers.
As per the aforementioned measures taken by the government, it can be concluded that the Indian economy needs both supply and demand measures for the revival. And the government also focused on both sides. For supply-side measures, the government aimed at activating business in the MSMEs, real estate, etc, and to boost the demand government aimed at increasing the disposal income of households through cash transfers and tax concessions.

Fracked Gas: A Bridge Fuel to Nowhere
Oil Remains King, But Coal and Natural Gas Use Continue to Grow
Hundreds March During UN Climate Conference Demanding Urgent Action on Climate Change
Dr. David Suzuki
British Columbia (B.C.) appears to be pinning its economic hopes on natural gas—much of it obtained by fracking. While the world should be turning from fossil fuels to cleaner energy and conservation, we're poised to dig ourselves deeper into the climate-altering carbon hole.
Taking a cue from the liquidation-sale policies of the Alberta and federal governments, B.C.'s leaders want to get fossil fuels out of the ground, piped to the coast, liquefied and shipped to Asia—or wherever they can find buyers—as quickly as possible. It's a short-sighted plan based on outmoded thinking. In the long run, it's not good for the economy or the environment.
Whether politicians believe fossil fuel supplies are endless or can only see as far as the next election, they're selling out our future and leaving a shattered legacy for our kids and grandkids. To start, natural gas is not the clean-energy solution it's touted to be. According to the Pembina Institute, if only five of the 12 proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals were built on the B.C. coast, they could spew 63 million tons of carbon a year into the atmosphere—exceeding the amount now produced by the Alberta tar sands and equal to all of B.C.'s greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. Discharged particle matter and volatile organic compounds would also be significant new sources of pollution.
Liquefying the gas for export, which requires enormous amounts of energy, isn't the only source of greenhouse gases. Leaks–or what the industry refers to as "fugitive emissions"–during drilling, extraction and transport are also concerns. Although the B.C. Environment Ministry claims just .3 to .4 percent of gas escapes into the atmosphere, independent studies say it's likely many times that amount.
According to an article in Nature, scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado in Boulder found leaks of methane—a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide—amounted to between four and nine percent of total production at two gas fields in the U.S.
Even the economic benefits of the province's LNG plans are suspect. Many analysts expect price corrections, and LNG expert Peter Hughes told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation the perceived windfall is "wishful thinking" because B.C. will have to compete with producers in places like Qatar, East Africa and Australia. Most of the money wouldn't even stay in B.C., as many gas companies are from other provinces and countries. As for jobs, natural gas extraction, transport and production create relatively few compared to almost every other economic sector–including tourism, science and technology, health care, education and small business.
On top of that, fracking—shooting water, sand and chemicals at high pressure into the ground to shatter shale and release natural gas—has many other environmental consequences. It requires massive amounts of water, contaminates drinking water, damages habitat and ecosystems—even causes small earthquakes!
As well as seeing natural gas as an economic panacea, some argue it could be a "bridging fuel"–something cleaner than oil or coal to use while we make the transition to renewable energy. But it's a hazard-strewn bridge, and subsidizing and investing in natural gas extraction and infrastructure without any real commitment to wean us off oil, coal and gas will only keep us on the fossil fuel road and discourage investment in clean energy and conservation.
The industry also relies on taxpayers' money to subsidize it, through tax and royalty credits, and to provide water, roads and the massive amounts of energy required to liquefy the gas. And fugitive emissions from gas operations are exempt from the carbon tax. If we are really "bridging" to reduce fossil fuels, why are we subsidizing companies for their carbon costs?
It's time to invest our money and human resources in long-term, innovative ideas that will create good, lasting jobs and ensure that we and our children and grandchildren continue to enjoy healthy and prosperous lives and that our spectacular "supernatural" environment is protected. We have abundant renewable resources and opportunities to conserve energy and lead the way in developing clean energy. It's time to move forward.

Although oil remains the world's leading energy source, coal and natural gas continue to grow in significance, according to new research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute for its Vital Signs Online service. Global consumption of coal increased 5.4 percent in 2011, to 3.72 billion tons of oil equivalent, while natural gas use grew 2.2 percent, to 2.91 billion tons of oil equivalent. Both are primary fuels for the world's electricity market, and because they are often used as substitutes for one other, their trends need to be examined together, write report authors Matt Lucky and Reese Rogers.
The bulk of coal use is for power generation, with smaller amounts being used in steelmaking. Spurred mainly by rising demand in China and India, coal's share in the global primary energy mix reached 28 percent in 2011—its highest point since the International Energy Agency began keeping statistics in 1971. Although the U.S. remains one of the world's largest coal users, just over 70 percent of global demand in 2011 was in countries outside of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including China and India. Consumption in non-OECD countries grew 8 percent in 2011 to 2.63 billion tons of oil equivalent.
China alone accounted for nearly half of all coal use in 2011. India is the second largest contributor to rising coal demand and is the world's third largest coal consumer, after surpassing the European Union in 2009. The U.S. remains the second largest coal user, even though U.S. demand decreased by around 5 percent in 2011 and continued to fall in 2012 due to the shale gas boom and the abundance of cheap natural gas. Even with declining demand, the U.S. still accounts for 45 percent of coal demand within the OECD.
Coal production, like consumption, is concentrated mainly in China. But the U.S. holds the largest proved coal reserves, with 28 percent of the global total, followed by Russia at 18 percent, China at 13 percent, Australia at 9 percent, and India at 7 percent. Together, these five countries accounted for three-quarters of proved coal reserves as well as three-quarters of global coal production in 2011.
In the case of natural gas, global consumption grew at a slower rate than coal—2.2 percent—to reach 2.91 billion tons of oil equivalent in 2011. Usage grew in all regions except the European Union, which experienced a 9.9 percent decline in natural gas consumption—the largest on record and due mainly to a struggling economy and high natural gas prices.
Natural gas accounted for nearly 23.7 percent of global primary energy consumption in 2011, down slightly from 23.8 percent in 2010. Consumption increased most significantly in East Asia, led by China (21.5 percent) and Japan (11.6 percent).
Natural gas production increased at a higher rate than consumption—3.1 percent—reaching 2.96 billion tons of oil equivalent in 2011. The U.S. and Russia accounted for nearly 40 percent of the world's output in 2011, contributing 20 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, followed by Canada, Iran, and Qatar at 4–5 percent each.
Continued strong growth in the global coal and natural gas sectors depends on numerous factors. Demand for coal could stagnate with the introduction of new technologies in the power sector, or with the adoption of policies to reduce the environmental and health impacts of coal combustion. Increasing global concern about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change could lead to a greater transition from coal to natural gas. Other factors that could change the equation include rising environmental and other concerns about hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") and the possibility that cheap natural gas might undermine growth in renewable energy.
Further highlights from the report:
Over the period 2001–11, China accounted for 80 percent of the global increase in coal demand. China alone accounted for 49.5 percent of global coal production in 2011.
U.S. coal exports are growing at a rate not seen since the 1979–81 export boom, and 2012 exports are projected to be more than double those in 2009, according to data as of August 2012.
The greatest growth in natural gas production in 2011 occurred in Yemen (51.3 percent), Iraq (42.0 percent), Turkmenistan (40.6 percent) and Qatar (25.8 percent).
Liquefied natural gas's share of the total natural gas trade grew to 32.2 percent in 2011, up from 30 percent in 2010.

IndyACT
Hundreds of activists from the Arab region and around the world attended a historical march at Cornish Park in Doha, Qatar demanding urgent actions to address climate change during the UN climate conference, COP18. Activists are asking for world leaders to help create a world that does not compromise resources and life for future generations or their ability to meet their own needs. The march is thought to be the first event of its kind in the history of modern day Qatar.
Ali Fakhry, IndyACT media campaigner explained, "The marchers are here to ask their country leaders to act now, there is no time left." During the march, people held banners and chanted "Pledge Pledge, Pledge," "Arabs; it's time to lead" and "One Environment, Earth," while calling for urgent climate action, concrete steps towards binding future agreement in Doha and a second commitment of Kyoto protocol to start in 2013.
"Time is running out for us to ensure climate impacts do not spin out of control. We only have one environment and one Earth, as the ministers and decision makers are coming, we need them to hear civil society voices and push for concrete steps they are willing to take whether it is committing to cutting their emissions or ensuring poorer countries get support to take action," said Fakhry.
Activists from more than 15 Arab countries, including Qatar, Mauritania, Morocco, Jordan, Libya, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, Sudan, Oman, Egypt and Bahrain are also calling on their leaders—during the first climate negotiations ever held in the Middle East—to submit concrete voluntary pledges for mitigation targets at COP18 in order to fulfill their own responsibilities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The march was supported by regional and international NGO networks such as IndyACT, OASIS Doha, 350.org, Climate Action Network and the global TckTckTck campaign, as well as youth activists who were instrumental in the Arab spring and are now organized in the newly founded Arab Youth Climate Movement.
The youth climate movement—another first of its kind in the Arab world launched by IndyACT—unites hundreds of grassroots activists from across the region. On Nov. 10, activists staged a regional Day of Action in the lead up to the UN climate talks in Doha.

Women Take Action Globally in Response to Climate Change
A new International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) publication outlining action plans for women to help them adapt to climate change and minimize its impact has been launched at the 18th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Doha, Qatar.
A water taxi network owned and operated by women on the Nile that reduces emissions and provides fast, reliable public transport in a gridlocked Cairo transport system; a recycling project that empowers women as green entrepreneurs in Kathmandu; women-environmental whistleblowers on the coast of Liberia that assist the government in the collection of meteorological data to forecast the weather, acting as an early-warning system for storms and reporting environmental offenses; a carbon-footprint program run by community women and poetry singers in temples in Jordan and Nepal that communicate climate change messages. These are just a few innovative examples included in the book.
The Art of Implementation: Gender Strategies Transforming National and Regional Climate Change Decision Making focuses on the development of climate change and gender action plans—steps to be taken by women to adapt to climate change and minimize its impact. The publication includes a synthesis of strategies and action plans developed by the IUCN Global Gender Office on behalf of the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA) in Mozambique, Jordan, Egypt, Tanzania, Nepal, Haiti, Panama, Costa Rica, Liberia, the Arab League of States and the Central American Region. It also outlines the methodology used by IUCN.
"A critical step in the development of these action plans is the need to anchor global agreements within national contexts so as to take action on climate change at the local and national level, whilst harnessing the power of women in the process," says Lorena Aguilar, IUCN's Senior Global Gender Adviser. "The strategies and action plans represent a country's intention to empower and respond to the needs of the often invisible 'other half' of the population in the context of climate change. They link national and global policy in a concrete manner, communicate the importance of gender in climate action and frame women as agents of change—and not merely as a 'vulnerable' group."
The book outlines actions designed to adapt to climate change and minimize its impact that can be taken by women and other players in a variety of sectors covering topics as diverse as agriculture and food security, forests and REDD+, water, energy, health, urbanization, integrated coastal management, waste management, tourism, land use and disaster risk management. Each section also includes clear objectives, actions and indicators and identifies the specific institutions responsible for their implementation and delivery.
The action plans provide a comprehensive framework for the development of projects and their implementation, which has been agreed on by governments, UN institutions, contributing country partners, academia, the private sector and civil society, among others.
"Climate change will undermine the very foundation of socioeconomic development and will increase inequality and poverty," says Tarja Halonen, Former President of Finland and main funding partner to the project. "It will have a serious impact on the livelihoods of poor women in developing countries, as the increasing droughts and storms will affect agriculture and water resources, which are often the responsibility of women."
Until recently, policy responses at the global or national level did not reflect this reality. For more than twenty years, gender equality was absent from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and in decision-making by its Conference of the Parties and Subsidiary Bodies. Few National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs) or national communications submitted by Parties to the UNFCCC addressed gender issues in a comprehensive manner, and some did not mention gender considerations at all.
Following several years of advocacy, capacity building, and building awareness, governments have now agreed multilaterally that gender equality is a key component in achieving climate change goals. Since 2008, more than 60 official gender references have entered the UNFCCC negotiation text, and the final outcomes of the Cancun (2010) and Durban (2011) conferences included eight and seventeen references to gender, respectively.
With these global mandates in place, the urgent next step is to turn them into action and determine how to design climate change policies that address these issues.

His coin show exhibits of 'Arch-Enemy No.1' in the 1960's drew the attention of onlookers, and he eagerly spent his time and energy speaking about the evils of Nazi Germany and the lessons of the Holocaust, educating people about the dictator who plunged the world into war and orchestrated the systematic extermination of the Jewish people and other minorities. His exhibit banners declared: "One killed is murder – Millions killed is statistics." 'This was not War – This was Murder'.

Yoko Ono denies claims that John Lennon had bulimia
NME Mar 7, 2012 12:46 pm GMT
Beatles singer 'was always on a very healthy diet', claims his widow
Yoko Ono has denied claims that John Lennon suffered from bulimia.
According to the Daily Telegraph, a new book from author Debra Sharon Davis titled BackStage Pass VIP claims that the Beatles legend loved to eat food such as bowls of Rice Krispies topped with ice cream, but forced himself to be sick afterwards as he "hated the feeling of being full".
"Lennon was confused about his obsession with food," she said. "Lennon was surrounded by talented musicians, but many had drinking and drug problems – so it was hard for them to see Lennon's purging behaviour as extraordinary.
"One must also realize that at that time the public and the media were unaware of bulimia as an addiction and health risk – which made it all the more frightening for John Lennon," she added. "He literally had no point-of-reference on what he was experiencing."
However, Ono has now denied the allegations, with the singer telling the Daily Mirror that her late husband "was always on a very healthy diet".
John did not have an eating disorder. Sometimes he slipped and ate a bar of chocolate. His diets included vegetarian diet, macrobiotic diet and, very rarely a juice-only diet. All of the above are internationally approved health diets.
In January of this year (January 12), it was reported that Yoko Ono was set to work with The Flaming Lips on their new studio album. She will join a cast of collaborators including Nick Cave, Bon Iver, Ke$ha and Lykke Li who have all signed up to work with the band on the LP.
She released her last studio album, 'Between My Head And The Sky', in September 2009.

Four years later, iWork apps need Apple's attention
On any given day, a quick check of the top-selling paid apps list in the Mac App Store will reveal Apple's Keynote, Pages and Numbers in the top ten. It's surprising, given that each of those apps was originally bundled as Apple's iWork '09 productivity suite, released in, you guessed it, January, 2009. It makes me wonder when or if we'll ever see an update to them.
The concept of "iWork '09" as a package disappeared when Apple launched the Mac App Store in 2011 and transitioned to digital software distribution. With it came a few changes: the individual components of the iWork suite became available on their own for $20 a pop. At $60 for all three, customers saved money compared to the disc price of $79. It also enabled users to buy them a la carte if they preferred.
Since then, Apple has released some perfunctory updates to each of the apps to improve support for new operating system releases and added a few functions here and there, but none of the apps have gotten a significant overhaul in over four years.
What does Apple have planned for Pages, Keynote and Numbers? Of course, no one outside of Cupertino knows for sure. Apple has, however, posted job listings for iWork engineers in recent months. So there's plainly work going on behind the scenes.
Given the continued absence of Microsoft Office on iOS - and the likely continued absence, given Microsoft's emphasis on its own Surface tablet - the iOS iWork apps continue to help Apple fill an important business software void on the iPad.
In a month Apple will unveil the newest versions of both iOS and OS X to attendees of its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. I'm not sure if Tim Cook will use his time on the keynote stage to show off new iWork apps, but I'm willing to bet that the announcements at the event will lay the groundwork for whatever Apple's going to do next with those apps and its iLife software, which is also getting long in the tooth.
Pages, Keynote and Numbers' position on Mac App Store's paid apps list suggests that they're still very important for Apple. But four years is eons in software development. Even Microsoft has refreshed its Office for Mac product in the intervening years. The interfaces of each of the iWork apps is sorely lacking and occasionally inconsistent with Apple's own Human Interface guidelines.
It's time Apple showed the iWork apps a little love. Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer.

Identify new FSC-certified wood exterior decking produced from common domestic species and street furniture composed of lumber upcycled from urban forests.
Define sustainable components from thermal performance to human well-being of high-performance, flexible opening wall systems.
The green movement has led to growing changes in the materials and products that architects now specify for all buildings—not just those meeting green ratings. The American Institute of Architects has developed a brief history of green materials and is providing guidelines for choosing green products and materials. On their website, they are surveying architects to learn more about their choices. According to the AIA, "As architects, we specify materials every day. Our decisions affect the environment, our communities, and our health. Harnessing the evolving body of knowledge about the impact of materials is integral to improving the craft, science, and art of architecture."1 This AIA initiative supports the growing trend to specify high-performance materials, systems, and products to increase energy efficiency, conserve water, provide more usable floor space, and reuse renewable resources for a sustainable future.
It has been almost 25 years since the American Institute of Architects published the Environmental Resource Guide or ERG, the USGBC posted LEED 1.0 for public review, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology published a new methodology for life-cycle analysis of building materials—Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES). Since then, the commitment to developing green buildings and green building products has been exponential in growth.

Iran shrugs off sanctions threat over atomic plans
Published Monday, February 25, 2008
Iran voiced defiance on Monday as Western powers pushed for new sanctions over its nuclear programme, saying high oil prices will cushion the blow.
The United States, Britain and France are pushing for a United Nations Security Council vote on a third round of sanctions this week because they fear Iran seeks an atomic bomb.
But an Iranian minister was quoted as saying the economy of the world's fourth-largest oil producer would not be hurt.
"New sanctions will not harm Iran's economy. High oil prices will help Iran to compensate," Economy and Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari was quoted by the students' news agency ISNA as saying.
Danesh-Jafari was speaking hours before senior diplomats from Britain, France, Germany, the United States, China and Russia were due to meet in Washington to discuss their next moves on Iran's nuclear programme.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose country denies wanting nuclear weapons, said on Saturday world powers could pass sanctions resolutions for 100 years without deterring Tehran from its nuclear work.
Iran has also warned Western powers they would be the ones to suffer if new sanctions were imposed on Tehran, which has resisted any OPEC oil output increase to bring down prices from above $99 a barrel. Tehran has even supported an output cut.
Oil prices surged to a record high above $100 a barrel last week. The oil exporters' group OPEC next meets on March 5.
Mohammad Ali Khatibi, deputy director of international affairs at the National Iranian Oil Company, said he saw no reason for OPEC oil producing countries to raise output as market supplies of crude were sufficient.
TIME 'NOT ON WEST'S SIDE'
As Western powers push for new sanctions, time is not on their side, Washington's ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, was quoted as saying by a French newspaper.
He told Le Figaro Iran's testing of a new generation of centrifuges - machines that enrich uranium - would bring it closer to obtaining fissile material needed for an atomic bomb.
"From a certain point of view, time is not working in our favor - the Iranians are now planning to develop a new, more efficient generation of centrifuges and if they master that technology to produce fissile material they will have access to better enriched uranium," he said.
France and Britain have formally submitted a third sanctions resolution against Iran to the UN Security Council calling for measures including asset freezes and mandatory travel bans for specific Iranian officials.
It also expands the list of Iranian officials and companies targeted by the sanctions. Earlier rounds of sanctions were imposed in December 2006 and March 2007.
Khalilzad says he is hoping for a vote on Friday by the 15-nation council.
Tehran insists it is seeking to master nuclear technology to make electricity and save oil and gas reserves for export.
The Security Council has demanded Iran halt uranium enrichment, which can be used to make fuel for power plants or, potentially, material for bombs. Iran has refused.
The Islamic Republic has threatened to review co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, whose latest report on Friday confronted Iran for the first time with Western intelligence reports of work linked to making atomic bombs. (Reuters)

Transnational Ruptures: Gender and Forced Migration Catherine Nolin Hampshire: Ashgate, 2006; 246 pp.
With this book, Catherine Nolin makes visible the historical-geographical specificity of a little studied population, and interrogates some common understandings in migration studies. Transnational Ruptures looks at the experiences and narratives of Guatemalans who came to Canada fleeing political violence, a migration that peaked from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Nolin foregrounds the impact of "state violence in Guatemala and immigration/refugee policy in Canada" on refugee journeys, settlement experiences, and on social relations across borders (p. 58). As with any focused study, this means that other aspects of the immigrant/refugee experience receive less attention. Thus, following a discussion of the relevance of Transnational Ruptures, I will briefly address a matter that is critical for all social researchers: What is included and what is left out through a specific methodological gaze?
One of the central questions raised by the book is regarding what makes research transnational? Is it transnational because the subjects of the study have crossed borders, or because the researchers have? For Nolin, the answer lies in the linking up of political/social/economic processes and networks that traverse geographies. Transnational Ruptures is by no means positing one transnational perspective. A valuable overview of transnational studies (chapter 2) foregrounds the insights, tensions, and contradictions in this broad field. The language of "transnationality" itself is interrogated as the study dispels any illusion that the participants of the study are enmeshed in "transnational circuits." Instead, "immobility" characterizes their lives due to continued fear of violence and economic hardship. Canadian travel restrictions for Guatemalans "serve more often than not to reinforce the ruptures of family rather than facilitate transnational flows" (p. 163).
Nolin also concurs with those scholars who note that transnational movement does not undermine the nation state. The increase in the number of Guatemalan refugees in the 1980s led to the reification of national boundaries through more restrictive immigration requirements in Canada and a crack down on "illegal refugees" in the US. Through an analysis of statistical data, Nolin connects these political moves to changes in refugee routes. Since they could no longer travel directly from Guatemala to Canada, many were forced to make the dangerous overland passage through Mexico and the US, to seek asylum at the Canada/US border. For Nolin (p. 106), this demonstrates the power of government policy, as well as the agency of those fleeing violence.

Autotip is a Chrome Browser extension that tips very small amounts of bitcoin to the creators of websites you visit.
It is an alternate way of monetizing content that dooes not require placing advertisments onto webpages.
This new version includes the Audio API. This allows people to place audio files onto webpages that will tip the artist when the song plays. One such site that takes advantage of this functionality is MusicStation.Tips.
Also I had to discontinue the Autotip Giveaway Program, due to lack of popularity. Currently only like 5 people are using Autotip. When more people start using Autotip, I'll reinstate the program. Until then it doesn't make sense to give money away to myself.


Overview: HexSim is a powerful and versatile spatially-explicit, individual-based, modeling environment popular in landscape ecology, conservation biology, and other disciplines. This workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to work directly with HexSim's developers on simulation models designed to meet their own research needs. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of unique HexSim features that distinguish it from other available software. Participants are expected to gain some facility with HexSim prior to the workshop, by downloading the software and reviewing online tutorials. Participants should come to the workshop with a laptop computer running Windows, a project idea, and example data for their system. Those wanting more specific feedback on their model should come with a previously assembled HexSim workspace.
Overview: Land use trade-offs often arise when social and ecological needs result in landscapes with high development and conservation value. Simulating scenarios of land change can help natural resource managers create adaptive planning strategies for protecting land. In this workshop, we introduce the FUTure Urban - Regional Environment Simulation framework (FUTURES) - a fully open source, multi-level, spatio-temporal land change model that is run through a suite of modules in GRASS GIS. In FUTURES, a population DEMAND sub-model and a development POTENTIAL sub-model interact to simulate the quantity, type and location of land change, while a dynamic patch-growing algorithm (PGA sub-model) simulates land change based on the spatial structure (size and shape) of historical trends. Workshop participants will learn basic modeling concepts and data requirements to apply FUTURES. Hands-on exercises will guide participants through the FUTURES simulation workflow, including data collection, calibration, validation, and visualization of simulation scenarios. Familiarity with GIS and state-transition modeling concepts is required.
Intended Audience: Students or professionals. Familiarity with GIS and state-transition modeling concepts is required.
Overview: Understanding how landscape features affect gene flow has implications for numerous fields including conservation biology, epidemiology, and evolutionary and molecular ecology. Despite this importance, objective quantification and assessment of landscape resistance has remained a significant challenge. From its inception, an allure of landscape genetics has been the potential to use spatial genetic data to determine how landscape features affect gene flow. However, landscape genetics has struggled to identify a rigorous and coherent framework for conducting landscape resistance analyses. Most current approaches for optimizing landscape resistance values rely on some combination of expert opinion, a limited search of parameter space, or advanced coding skills. The recently developed R package ResistanceGA overcomes many of the challenges faced by researchers seeking to determine how landscape features affect movement and gene flow. ResistanceGA provides user-friendly functions for optimizing landscape resistance surfaces using pairwise genetic data, as well as a coherent framework for conducting model selection. This half day workshop will provide a brief overview of landscape resistance modeling in the context of landscape genetics, followed by detailed coverage of how to use ResistanceGA to optimize landscape resistance surfaces. Workshop attendees will get extensive hands-on experience using ResistanceGA functions, conducting analyses, and interpreting results. To get the most out of this workshop, attendees should have a working knowledge of R.
Overview: The adequate monitoring and assessment of landscape fragmentation is of high importance for the design and evaluation of ecological programs, conservation studies and landscape management in general. Fragmentation is often reported as a purely descriptive measure, conducted for a given species and accounting for species-specific habitat requirements. However, a given landscape will exhibit a different degree of fragmentation depending on the species under study and its operational scale. The scope of this workshop is to illustrate ways for a generic measure of fragmentation, summarizing a multitude of patch attributes over a series of observation scales. The multi-scale fragmentation analysis provides spatially explicit maps and summary statistics showing the degree of fragmentation in six categories: intact, interior, dominant, transitional, patchy and rare. Fragmentation can also be assessed and summarized across different land cover classes including trend analysis showing gross gain and loss, net change and degree and dominance of human impacts. The quantitative assessment of land cover properties forms the base for habitat monitoring and conservation planning.The workshop will provide a feature overview and outline the added value of the multi-scale land cover analysis schemes. Workshop participants will conduct hands-on exercises on provided sample data sets to learn using the software and discuss the various processing options within the free software GuidosToolbox.
Overview: Global sustainability challenges – landscape fragmentation, loss of species habitat, water shortage, chronic hunger, and the continuing rise of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities – are increasingly influenced by distant forces. Urban demand for farm products may cause habitat loss in a remote region half the world away. Smallholder farmers may suffer water shortages caused by expanding demands from population booms in distant cities. These are examples of telecouplings (http://www.telecoupling.org) — socioeconomic and environmental interactions over distances — and while they have become ubiquitous in our globalized world, tools to better understand them and combat potential detrimental outcomes have been lacking. Telecouplings have profound implications for landscape sustainability as they can transform landscape structure, function, pattern, process, and dynamics. In this workshop, we will introduce the telecoupling framework, present applications of the framework, and conduct hands-on exercises with the Telecoupling GeoApp, a cloud-based application with a large collection of mapping and analysis tools to systematically study sustainability issues for telecoupled systems. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to apply the framework and cloud-based tools to a number of case studies such as global trade of agricultural products, tourism in nature reserves, impact of shipping traffic on arctic wildlife habitat, and dynamics of land-use change resulting from payments for ecosystem services.
Intended Audience: Any natural resources professional (student, researcher, manager) who deals with observed or generated time-series data. A general background in GIS is helpful but not necessary.
Overview: The emergence of web-based processing environments such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) has greatly increased the accessibility to a wealth of remotely sensed imagery and datasets. As a result, the potential for utilizing these resources to address questions about landscape change through spatial modeling has become prevalent across various disciplines. Yet the effort needed to address the underlying assumptions and best practices of spatial modeling is still necessary in order to produce quality end products. The "Geospatial Modeling Approaches Using NASA Earth observations in Google Earth Engine and R" workshop training was created to both allow end users to quickly and efficiently engage with these platforms while gaining an understanding of a professional quality spatial modeling process to improve participant's future work.Within this course, participants will use NASA Earth observations to produce detection models of a landcover class in GEE. This process will be supplemented with a variable selection process using the statistical programming language R. No experience with GEE in necessary. A basic understanding of R or similar programming language is recommended, but not required. Participants will leave the training with a series of supplemental material that will allow you to engage with this content beyond the conference.
Overview: Recent advances in powerful computational platforms such as Cloud Computing offer great potential for landscape ecologists to analyze and visualize landscape patterns and dynamics. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to and will explore a new toolbox developed on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The goal of the Landscape Structure, Composition, Process, and Networks (LandSCaPeN) toolbox is to tap the transformational advances in the computational platforms coupled with massive archives of remotely-sensed data. The tools (powered by scripts) contained in the LandSCaPeN toolbox help landscape ecologists to navigate and harness the expansive capabilities of GEE -- to understand landscapes over broader extents, for higher resolutions, at a greater precision, and with easy and rapid sharing of products among collaborators and partners.
Overview: The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations and communities to ecosystems. Rapid improvements in biotelemetry data collection and processing technology have given rise to a variety of statistical methods for characterizing animal movement. This workshop provides an overview of the types of statistical models used to study individual-based animal movement based on telemetry data.This workshop on animal movement modeling is intended for wildlife biologists, quantitative ecologists, and spatial ecologists who seek a deeper understanding of modern animal movement models. In the workshop, we present a wide variety of modeling approaches using a consistent notation. We organize the models into groups based on how they treat the underlying spatio-temporal process of movement. The primary groups of models covered are: point process models, discrete-time models, and continuous-time models. We also highlight connections among approaches to facilitate a broader view of animal movement analysis and its associations with traditional spatial and temporal statistical modeling. The workshop will draw on examples and material from the recent textbook "Animal Movement: Statistical Models for Telemetry Data" written by the presenters.
