The industrial food system — that we humans have designed and built — is at the heart of biodiversity degradation, climate change, diet-related diseases, rampant inequality, supply chain inefficiencies and more. But if redesigned and rebuilt, our food system can be turned on its head so that it’s the source of the climate-resilient solutions we need, especially if we embrace nature- and people-based food and agriculture. As we celebrate World Food Day on Oct. 16 and consider how a changing planet affects access to nutrition, food production and distribution, the need for reform is clearer than ever. Up until now, a narrow focus on energy and transportation solutions to climate, while important, has prevented us from exploring and investing in indispensable mitigation and adaptation strategies that come from land and nature, such as the rapid uptake of regenerative agriculture and agroecology, using soil as a carbon sink, reducing food waste and adopting … [Read more...] about Industrial food system is at the heart of biodiversity degradation and climate change

All that’s missing from Gene Simmons’ home office is a cash register. He has stuffed a wing of his otherwise tasteful Beverly Hills mansion with Kiss merchandise, turning it into a shrine to his favorite guy, Gene Simmons, and the band for which he’s spent 40 lucrative years playing bass, breathing fire, spitting blood and waggling a tongue so freakish he’s had to deny grafting it from some unlucky cow. There are thousands of Kiss things in his lair, overflowing from glass cases: Halloween masks; life-size busts of the band members’ heads; dolls; action figures; coffee mugs; motorcycle helmets; plates; blankets; demonic Mr. Potato Heads; sneakers; bibs; a bowling ball. A lifetime of Kiss: look back at the group’s long history in photos On one wall is a plaque commemorating 100 million Kiss albums sold worldwide. “This room,” says Simmons, adding extra portentousness to his baritone, “didn’t happen by accident.” At the … [Read more...] about Kiss Forever: 40 Years of Feuds and Fury

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump made 67 false claims last week, 27 of them related to Democrats' impeachment inquiry. This was the sixth consecutive week in which Trump made more false claims about impeachment or Ukraine than about any other subject. Trump's three most frequent false claims of the week were all impeachment-related. He said seven times that the whistleblower has disappeared (there is no evidence of this), four times that the whistleblower's complaint was inaccurate (it has proven highly accurate), and four times that the Washington Post fabricated its sources for an article about how Trump had reportedly tried to get Attorney General William Barr to hold a news conference declaring he had committed no crimes in his July call with Ukraine's president (there is no evidence the Post invented any sources; other news outlets, including CNN, quickly followed the Post scoop with similar reports). Trump has made 1,202 false claims in the 18 weeks we have been fact … [Read more...] about With a focus on Ukraine, Trump made 67 false claims last week

Contents Get Organized: The Photo Organization Makeover Taking Inventory What Went Wrong Where are all your photos? If you're like most people, they're probably strewn across several different computers, smartphones, social networks, online photo-hosting websites, external hard drives or discs, and maybe even printed and stuffed into a couple of old shoeboxes. "How to organize photos" is one of the most requested topics for this column. So a few months ago, I enlisted a colleague, PCMag reporter Stephanie Mlot, to be my guinea pig in a digital photo makeover. Together, we planned to assess her photo disaster, consolidate her archives into a logical and ordered system, and devise a process for handling new photos. But that's not at all what happened. What actually happened is what happens to most people. And because Stephanie's story is so common, I think it's worth telling so that we can look at what went right and what went wrong.
