#UN Forest Podcast

[worldcitiesday]

Urban forests in the spotlight of the first episode of the UN Forest Podcast.

Trees belong in cities. Yet, as cities across the globe get bigger, trees and green spaces are lost to new buildings and infrastructure. With less than 20 percent of ground area covered by tree crowns, on average, cities all over the world need many more trees than they have today. But why? Why do we need to bring nature back into people’s neighborhoods?

Let our first UN Forest Podcast episode inspire you.

Find opportunities to grow, care for and support trees and forests on your property and in your community.

Contribute to a local tree-planting project

Share the importance of urban forestry with your friends, your family, your neighbors and your political representatives.

We can definitely all play a part.

In the first episode of the UN Forest Podcast – “Urban forests hosted by Stefano Boeri” – architect and professor at Politecnico di Milano, Stefano Boeri, and Cecil Konijnendijk, professor of urban forestry researcher and contributor to many UNECE urban forest publications, discuss how we can expand green space areas across cities that are often very dense and how can we guarantee that the benefits of urban forests are provided in a sound and inclusive way.

They both agree that cities are better off with trees. Urban forests are beneficial to human well-being, support biodiversity and provide economic benefits. In Mr. Boeri’s words, “urban greening is not an option, but the most effective, cost-effective and inclusive choice to counter the effects of climate change” and create a sustainable future.

Often, however, green spaces are not equally distributed across neighborhoods. “If we do not bring green spaces to people, all people, in cities,” stresses Prof. Konijnendijk, “then these people really will miss out on some essential benefits.” If all urban dwellers lived within 300 meters of a green space, as the World Health Organization recommend, 43.000 premature deaths could be prevented, a new study found. This speaks to the importance of distributing trees equitably, regardless of income or status.

This is also when Prof. Konijnendijk’s 3-30-300 rule comes into play. It calls for every resident to be able to see at least 3 trees from their home and live in a neighborhood with at least 30% tree canopy cover, with the nearest public green space no further than 300 meters from their door. (Nature Based Solutions Institute) This formula supports green cities where no one is left behind.

The key priority for cities is to first and foremost conserve the green species and trees they already have, improve, and expand them. With limited spaces in our dense cities, city planners and architects face a massive challenge to keep and integrate more nature into cities. Vertical forests, that are homes to people and biodiversity, are one way to do so by returning part of the built space to nature. A pioneer of buildings that combine high-density residential development with tree planting in city centers, Stefano Boeri designed and built the first prototype in Milan in 2014. Stefano Boeri Architetti has since designed vertical forests all over the world, including the first Vertical Forest for social housing in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, as well as projects in Huanggang, China and in Cairo, Egypt. Proper planning, good management, and long-term, comprehensive, and integrated programmes that bring onboard all key players are essential for expanding tree coverage in cities. Successful urban greening projects need sound strategies, policies, legislation, appropriate funding and resources, but community-based activities are also needed.

[fierce-little-miana]

Listening to a podcast about Marie-Angélique Memmie le Blanc, one of the few attested feral children found in France. Marie-Angélique had quite an exceptional life since she came to France from northern America (she was Native American), survived the plague epidemic that welcomed her in Marseille and lived for 10 years in the wild with another little girl (traveling around 750km by foot from Marseille to Songy) until she was discovered/captured. Then, she learned to speak French perfectly being one of the few attested feral children to be able to gain full mastery of a language after years of not using one. She also learned to read and write.

Her life story from start to finish is one of the better documented histories of feral children in the world.

Marie-Angélique died alone at 63 in her own house in Paris under the tutelage of no one (she was receiving a pension from the Queen of France). While she had been an object of curiosity, she was never displayed as a freak attraction and lived her later life in a relatively privileged way for Ancien Régime France. The one thing she apparently wanted to do but could not was becoming a nun since no congregation accepted that she joined them (the feral - as in way too close to savage - being the issue here). Beside this, Marie-Angélique’s social integration was a major success.

Still one of the guest on the podcast, a man, described her as dying like « upperclass old maid » (« une vielle-fille bourgeoise ») in Paris. When another speaker, a woman, said that there are worse fates than being an « upperclass old maid » the guest insisted in a way that really hammered that he thinks it was a bad fate for her. He said something along the lines of « she could have kept living in the forest » (probably forgetting that Marie-Angélique only companion had died very recently by the time she was discovered because Marie-Angélique had, from her own admission, most likely killed her).

The woman answered that she would have died if she had stayed in the forest and the man kept going by saying that « but she lived there for 10 years » and the woman had to remind him that Marie-Angélique was 60 by the time she died and « climbing trees and jumping into rivers to fish with your hands is not the same thing at 19 than at 60 ». Still the man grumbled.

While there is something to be said about the fact that Marie-Angélique was strictly reeducated in a very gendered very French way which did not take into account her skills and own culture, I think the guest’s disdain for her fate (quite positive) that had her lived a long and confortable life after living in the woods for ten years is extremely troubling. And borderline misogynistic.

There is no proof that Marie-Angélique’s later life was particularly sad, another guest even commented that she likely held salon at her Parisian house. To say that her ultimate fate is tragic because she was just an « upper class old maid » rather than « an exceptional wild child » (and not because she might have been murdered by a man who owned her money btw) is simply insulting. Yes she found a place in society and was capable to adapt, yes she was unmarried but still well-off. All of these are successes, not tragic outcome. That woman lived. Die mad about it.

10 Conseils Essentiels pour Améliorer votre Bien-être Numérique au Quotidien

Écoutez cet article Dans notre monde moderne, le bien-être numérique est devenu aussi crucial que notre bien-être physique et mental. À mesure que notre dépendance aux technologies augmente, il est essentiel de trouver un équilibre sain pour éviter les effets néfastes d'une consommation excessive de contenus numériques. Voici 10 conseils essentiels pour améliorer votre bien-être numérique au quotidien.

1. Limitez le Temps Passé Devant les Écrans

Il est facile de se perdre dans le dédale des réseaux sociaux, des emails et des séries en ligne. Cependant, passer trop de temps devant les écrans peut avoir des conséquences néfastes sur votre santé mentale et physique. Nous vous conseillons de fixer des limites quotidiennes pour chaque type d’activité numérique. Par exemple, limitez l’utilisation des réseaux sociaux à une heure par jour et évitez les écrans au moins une heure avant de vous coucher.

2. Établissez des Périodes Sans Technologie

Pour préserver votre bien-être numérique, il est essentiel de déconnecter régulièrement. Créez des périodes sans technologie, comme le matin avant le travail ou le soir avant de dormir. Ces moments de déconnexion vous permettront de vous recentrer sur vous-même, de mieux gérer votre stress et de maintenir un bon équilibre entre votre vie numérique et votre vie réelle.

3. Faites Attention à la Posture et à l’Ergonomie

Lorsque vous utilisez un ordinateur ou un smartphone pendant de longues périodes, il est facile d’adopter une mauvaise posture. Une mauvaise posture peut entraîner des douleurs chroniques au dos, au cou et aux épaules. Assurez-vous que votre poste de travail est ergonomique : ajustez la hauteur de votre chaise, maintenez votre écran à hauteur des yeux, et faites des pauses régulières pour vous étirer.

4. Utilisez des Applications pour Améliorer Votre Bien-être

De nombreuses applications sont conçues pour vous aider à gérer votre temps d'écran, réduire votre stress et améliorer votre bien-être numérique. Des applications comme Headspace ou Calm vous proposent des exercices de méditation et de relaxation. D'autres applications, comme Forest, vous aident à rester concentré en vous encourageant à passer moins de temps sur votre téléphone.

5. Adoptez une Hygiène Numérique Propre

L'hygiène numérique est essentielle pour protéger votre vie privée et maintenir votre sécurité en ligne. Utilisez des mots de passe complexes, activez l'authentification à deux facteurs et soyez prudent avec les informations que vous partagez en ligne. Nettoyez régulièrement votre boîte de réception et désabonnez-vous des newsletters et des services inutiles pour éviter la surcharge d'informations.

6. Soyez Sélectif avec Votre Consommation de Contenus

La qualité du contenu que vous consommez en ligne a un impact direct sur votre bien-être numérique. Préférez des contenus qui enrichissent votre esprit, tels que des articles instructifs, des documentaires ou des podcasts inspirants. Évitez les informations anxiogènes et les contenus qui ne vous apportent rien de positif. Soyez conscient de la manière dont vous ressentez après avoir consommé certains types de contenus, et ajustez votre consommation en conséquence.

7. Favorisez les Interactions Sociales Réelles

Les interactions sociales en ligne ne remplacent pas les interactions en personne. Pour améliorer votre bien-être numérique, prenez le temps de voir vos amis et votre famille dans la vie réelle. Organisez des sorties, des dîners ou des activités en plein air. Ces moments de connexion authentique vous apporteront un soutien émotionnel que les réseaux sociaux ne peuvent pas offrir.

8. Pratiquez la Pleine Conscience Numérique

La pleine conscience ne se limite pas à la méditation ; elle s’applique également à votre utilisation de la technologie. Soyez conscient du temps que vous passez sur vos appareils et de l'impact que cela a sur votre bien-être. Essayez de rester présent dans vos activités numériques et évitez de vous laisser entraîner par des comportements compulsifs, comme le défilement sans fin sur les réseaux sociaux.

9. Créez des Routines Numériques Saines

Établir des routines numériques peut grandement améliorer votre bien-être. Par exemple, commencez la journée sans consulter immédiatement votre téléphone. Préférez une activité qui vous ancre, comme la lecture d’un livre ou une séance de méditation. De même, avant de dormir, remplacez votre smartphone par une activité relaxante, comme écrire dans un journal ou pratiquer des exercices de respiration.

10. Apprenez à Dire Non au Multitâche

Le multitâche peut sembler une compétence utile, mais il peut en réalité nuire à votre productivité et à votre bien-être. Lorsque vous essayez de faire plusieurs choses à la fois, votre cerveau est constamment sollicité, ce qui peut entraîner de la fatigue mentale et du stress. Apprenez à vous concentrer sur une tâche à la fois et à dire non au multitâche. Cela vous aidera à accomplir vos tâches plus efficacement et à réduire la sensation de surcharge. En adoptant ces 10 conseils essentiels, vous pourrez non seulement améliorer votre bien-être numérique, mais aussi retrouver un équilibre sain entre votre vie en ligne et votre vie réelle. Un bien-être numérique optimal est une question de conscience, de gestion du temps et de choix intentionnels dans la manière dont vous interagissez avec la technologie au quotidien.

12:43 - THE STORY OF MYRA’S LAMENT FOR LAMLASH BAY

I plagiarise songs into local events..the one I sang last night I wrote at 3 AM in the morning. My wife had been in hospital 100 miles away, for two months, and the chorus came to my head when I was feeling sorry for myself. Simultaneously, the Government had decided to ban us clamming in Lamlash Bay. I’d sustainably hand picked scallops there for 34 years. The trawler/dredgers were destroying the habitat, and they wanted to

ban them. But they done us in as well… a Federal hammer to crack a wee nut!!!! So, the song is called “Myra’s lament for Lamlash Bay”…Lamlash is at the Isle of Arran.

Tommy Makem inspired my plagiarism with “The Boys from Killybegs.” Killybegs is a fishing port in Donegal, Ireland..Dun Na Gael…. The Fortress of the Stranger. Tommy famously sang and played banjo with the Glancy Brothers..

Sgheirs:- Gaelic..reefs pronounced “skerries.

clams”:- generic term in Scotland for bivalve shellfish..we fish for scallops..Pecten maximus

Sound:- navigable stretch of water between two pieces of land in this case formed by the Tarbert shore and Isle of Arran.

Thole :- Lalands Scots (old Scots) my work they won’t accept or tolerate.

Dole:- Un-employment register

Listen to the original version of the song on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #85.

Myra’s Lament for Lamlash Bay

lyrics Liam Griffin, music Marc Gunn

There are scallops in the sea, put there for you and me By the Lord who reigns from heaven above. And the divers catch and sell, but we won’t go to hell, We treat the sea with joy, respect and love.

* There’s a wild and rolling sea bringing me back home to ye. To yer bed that’s dry and crisp and woman warm And our lovin’ knows no harm when I hold ye in my arms. When the Boys from Lerags Glen come rollin’ home.

There are rocks upon the shore, There are sgheirs even more* And the trawlers they are dredging to and fro’ But the diver’s in the gully, for the seabed we don’t sully Hand pickin’ is the way I chose to go.

But today the sea is calm and the boat is full of clams** And swiftly we have cleared KilBrannon Sound..*** Sacks of scallops stacked up high All our divers safe and dry And soon for Lerags Glen we’re homeward bound.

But now a new day’s dawned and time is moving on and conservation is a game that they al play and my work the cannot thole and I’m told to sign the dole No more from Lerags Glen go to the sea.

A Broken Horse: A Story of Helen's Suitors and the Trojan War New Audio Book! As hero after hero falls before the walls of Troy, Achaean and Trojan alike, two reluctant warriors--neither remembered as a hero--must sacrifice themselves for the sake of the people they love. Prince Paris has all the fame he ever wanted, anointed by the gods, honored as a youth for both his bravery and judgment, and gifted the most beautiful woman in the world by Aphrodite. If his theft of Helen results in a war, surely he is not meant to stop it. Let all the world burn to ash; so long as Paris has Helen, he is content to leave the destinies of kings and nations in the gods’ hands. But to keep Helen, they must survive. Paris must survive. Even as a grandson of Zeus, Polypoetes is a king of little consequence—his kingdom beyond the long-armed reach of Mycenae in ordinary times, yet forced still by oath and duty into a war he doesn’t want to fight. Desperate to save his lover Leonteus and protect the rest of his people, left behind in Thessaly, Polypoetes struggles to keep his forces out of harm’s way, even if it means making himself an enemy of Achilles. https://audioboom.com/channels/5111209-a-broken-horse-a-story-of-helen-s-suitors-and-the-trojan-war RSS:https://audioboom.com/channels/5111209.rss

It was raining pretty hard in the forest. Heck, it was a thunderstorm. In the middle of the forest was Player,

She was shivering, tears rolling down her cheeks along with raindrops. She flinched when the thunder was heard, she hated thunderstorms like this. It made her feel.. unsafe.. She should've brought her hoodie, or at least an umbrella.

// This RP Starter was inspired by 'As It Was' by Harry Styles! I couldn't find the original one on Soundcloud so here's the sped up ver!

Player was near the shore of the beach, singing. " I'm desperately searching just to find you. I've left alone the things I owned and now I am lost too. Feeling how the wind stings, like a haunting~ I brave the pain, that still remains, on my freezing body. As I am standing here, I'm feeling painful fear. My heart is full of ache, when will it break..? But if I stumble as I'm running down this path, I'll never find my way~ As I am standing here, my prince, my only prayer. Is that you'll come, running to save me. And so I wonder, why can't I even dream~ " She sang, her eyes were closed, anyone could sneak up on her at any moment.

In the middle of the forest, Player was sitting on the ground. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling. She began to start singing, it was in a different language. It wasn't in Spanish, rather it was in French.

" L'âme en peine, Il vit mais parle à peine. Il attend devant cette photo d'antan. Il, il n'est pas fou. Il y croit c'est tout. Il la voit partout. Il l'attend debout. Une rose à la main. À part elle il n'attend rien. Rien autour n'a de sens. Et l'air est lourd. Le regard absent. Il est seul et lui parle souvent. Il, il n'est pas fou. Il l'aime c'est tout. Il la voit partout. Il l'attend debout. Debout une rose à la main. Non, non plus rien ne le retient. " She paused to take a deep breath, before continuing. " Dans sa love story. Dans sa love story. Dans sa love story. Sa love story. Prends ma main. Promets-moi que tout ira bien. Serre-moi fort. Près de toi, je rêve encore. Oui, oui je veux rester. Mais je ne sais plus aimer. J'ai été trop bête. Je t'en prie, arrête. Arrête, comme je regrette. Non, je ne voulais pas tout ça. Je serai riche. Et je t'offrirai tout mon or. Et si tu t'en fiches. Je t'attendrai sur le port. Et si tu m'ignores. Je t'offrirai mon dernier souffle de vie. " Another deep breath, " Dans ma love story. Dans ma love story. Dans ma love story. Ma love story. Une bougie. Peut illuminer la nuit. Un sourire. Peut bâtir tout un empire. Et il y a toi. Et il y a moi. Et personne n'y croit. Mais l'amour fait d'un fou un roi. Et si tu m'ignores. J'me battrai encore et encore. C'est ta love story. C'est ta love story. C'est l'histoire d'une vie. Love story..~ Love story. Love story. Love story. Love story.. " She finished the song, sighing.

// @sun-and-moon-sb @the-plushie-friendships @anyone! Open rp! Feel free to ignore this btw, I don't mind! ^^

// Btw the song she's singing is "Love Story" by Indila! Go ahead and listen to it if you want!

My #1 post of 2022

You were walking around, just having a normal day. You suddenly felt someone bump into you, it was Player.

" A-Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you like that. " What's wrong with her? She usually doesn't act like this...

// @ask-a-literal-anon @sun-and-moon-sb @anybody! I'm bored and I need some angst in my life rn :')

P for Prowess huh?

Your sensational speed beats super sonic.I can't believe I crammed the phrase supersonic speed for my composition paper in std 8 and only remembering it today.Who knows I could have beaten an astute Sikuku with the sharpest brains and maybe gender equality or male chauvinism would not be among the 17 UN Global Sustainable Development Goals .Ik I lost you in between the lines.And the facts I just said can only divorce.I can see you furrowing your eyebrows.As pragmatic as it could be that's me.Oh,If root cause Analysis was a person.In real life it screams detail oriented yet so Indecisive.Cheers for still trusting and hoping the poem is still about you.It is.Youre the core incase I spin away.I had started so well.That was one of the many soliloquies I'm having as I jolt this.These are my daily fragments.xoxo for bearing with my disfigurements.

At this point I am realizing art is so irrational.I am disturbed.And the famous question creatives are asked'what is your inspiration ' is slowly dehumanizing.Its no longer a heartbreak or the forests however much of a passionate dendrophile I am..I'm experiencing everything differently and not just poetically. Yk why? I postponed this particular piece waiting for the perfect inspiration.(feeling like a sneaky link"after elections,after results,after supreme court,after inauguration",alafu nakata simu😂)So daunting bc unless you master striving for progress not perfection,its gibberish .I have had so many poetic moments that I crease.(Damn monologue/soliloquy 2;Again)****Yk what? Mental masturbation is the real pandemic😅.

Airpods or nothing.What's you without them.(Inserts Mundane).You are that pinterest girl everyone has on all our P boards.When I was 18,I wish I listened to podcasts with nothing but spasms of joy and recommend my friends.Like you do.(oops at 18 I was just hoping I meant the world to him like he did to me).I mean we just started a whole podcast.Such a big deal.All this to say you have always dignified the things you love and had this enormous teachable spirit.

We gotta stop the whole academic validation tale.Look around.It all skews to you.Effortlessly.Innate.Are there men who are sapiosexual btw?You're so smart and thing is you can explain rock science to a four year old.

Needless say I thought this whole piece would have 100 'you're pretty 'just skimmed through it and none.See,I'm always the drama.How.So we do the maths (you're pretty×1000.❤)For once I have appreciated the math pioneeers.All we do is curse them😂.They saw this coming.

Ik we are friends if everytime I say crap or crazy stuff you're not shocked and even laugh about it.The bar is where it should be at.Heartfelt.

Loads of love,to wealth,clarity of purpose,mental wellness,peace and stability.

gee.m💕
