THE WEEKEND POSITIVE NEWS ROUNDUP1. Goodbye coal pollution...

Many will wonder what took it so long. However, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank's private sector arm, filled a gap that permitted some of its clients to finance new coal projects.

While praising the action, campaigners noted that it was long overdue. The IFC's clients reportedly financed a number of significant coal projects during the past five years, according to the news website Climate Home.

However, according to a revision to the organization's policy, the IFC will no longer promote new coal. It is the most recent financial organization to abandon fossil fuels. Banks like Lloyds have already made commitments to stop funding coal and oil. It is being requested that others follow suit.

2. Britain’s loudest bird is back...

After decades of decline, Britain’s loudest bird is booming. Given that it was formerly extinct in Britain, the most recent bittern count found 228 calling males at 103 locations.

The British saga of The Bittern is one of boom and collapse. After being wiped out by hunting and habitat destruction in the 1880s, the birds came back on their own, but their numbers soon started to decline once more; by the 1990s, there were just 11 calling males left.

Thanks to restoration work spearheaded by Natural England and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), they are again prospering once more.

According to Simon Wotton, senior conservation scientist at the RSPB, "rewetting these spaces also helps prevent flooding and fights the climate crisis." "Wetlands are incredible carbon sponges, locking in more carbon than forests," says one expert.

3. Indian tigers continued their roaring comeback...

According to the most recent big cat census conducted in India, tigers have fought their way back from the verge.

3,167 tigers were counted, more than double the 1,411 animals counted when the census first started in 2006. Project Tiger, a conservation initiative that was started 50 years ago to rescue India's famous big cats, is to thank for the reversal.

The initiative was dubbed "one of the most successful species-specific conservation programmes globally" by Ravi Singh, CEO of WWF-India.

India just started an initiative to bring back the cheetah, so tigers are not the only big cats being protected there.

CRYSTAL OF THE DAY

YOGAPEDIAOne-Legged Puppy Pose (Eka Pada Uttana Shishosana)

One Legged Puppy Pose is an advanced yoga pose and is a variation of Aranyasana (Pose Dedicated To Goddess Arani), where one leg is extended upwards while balancing the weight of the body on the chest, neck, chin and knee. Unlike Aranyasana this variation is an asymmetrical pose, and is a deep hip opener.

LEARN SANSRITSO HUM (so -hum)

SO HUM is a often used mantra with the very simple meaning of "that I am" or "I am that". In the traditions some use it in as SA HUM, or even HAMSA. The different variations are related to the sanskrit language (female and male expression) and what the teachings want to refer to. With this mantra you want to connect to your inner most being while accepting the present moment fully as the way it is.

BOOK OF THE DAY

Great rulers, creators, artists, and warriors have all shared a certain trait throughout history. The capacity to maintain stillness, attention, and composure in the face of incessant distractions is what Zen Buddhists refer to as inner serenity. The Stoics referred to it as ataraxia, and Ryan Holiday refers to it as stillness.

Holiday demonstrates the value of quiet and demonstrates how we might nurture it in our daily lives by drawing on a variety of the finest philosophers throughout history. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction.

The ability to control oneself, maintain discipline, and maintain attention are essential in this aggressive and loud society.
