Happy birthday, Marcia Barrett! – Repeating Islands
Jamaica Magazine (Jamaicans.com) pays tribute to world renowned Jamaican singer Marcia Barrett, whose birthday is today October 14, 2024). Here are just a few details about her musical trajectory. For full article, read “From Solo Act to Boney M. to Solo Act: The Remarkable Career of Jamaican Singer Marcia Barrett” at Jamaica Magazine.
Marcia Barrett, born on 14 October 1948 in Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica, is a celebrated international singer whose vocal prowess helped catapult the disco sensation Boney M. to international stardom. From her early days in Jamaica to her breakthrough in Germany and subsequent rise to fame, Barrett’s career is one of resilience, determination, and exceptional talent.
From Jamaica to Germany
At the age of 13, Barrett left her homeland of Jamaica and moved to Croydon, England, where she joined her mother to continue her education. Though her beginnings were humble, Barrett’s passion for music soon began to shine. By the age of 18, she was already pursuing a career as a performer, a dream she continued to nurture when she moved to Germany at 19.
In Germany, she found her footing as a solo artist, touring the country and gaining recognition for her dynamic stage presence. She became affectionately known as “Marcia from Jamaica” and was given the titles “The Chocolate Beauty” and “The Firework from Jamaica” by her German audience. These early years laid the foundation for her future with Boney M. [. . .]
A Career Beyond Boney M.
As Boney M. disbanded in 1990, Marcia Barrett transitioned back to life as a solo artist. In 1999, she released her first solo album Survival, followed by Come into My Life in 2005. Barrett’s solo work reflected a broader range of influences, including a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s instrumental “Albatross,” for which she was allowed to add her own lyrics. [. . .]
Cancer, War & Survival
Despite her health struggles, Barrett’s spirit remained unshaken. Her autobiography Forward – My Life With and Without Boney M. was published in 2018, offering fans a detailed look at her life and career. In the book, Barrett reflects on her upbringing in Jamaica, the global success she found with Boney M., and her personal battles with illness.
Barrett is also known for her dedication to using music as a tool for change. Her 2003 benefit EP No War! Peace and Love reflected her opposition to the U.S. military intervention in Iraq, with proceeds supporting the War Child charity organization. [. . .]

Land Surface water controls on Atmospheric CO2 growth
By: Prof. Keith Haines and Samantha Petch
Atmospheric CO2 levels are rising every year, primarily due to human activities, Fig 1. However, the rate of this increase does vary significantly from year to year, not because of human emissions, but mostly due to changes in how much CO2 is absorbed by land ecosystems.
Fig 1. Recent changes in Atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Interannual changes can just about be seen.
The land’s ability to absorb CO2 is determined by the balance between photosynthesis and respiration and is the least understood part of the global carbon cycle. This land carbon sink plays a crucial role in offsetting anthropogenic CO2 emissions, accounting for approximately 30 ±10% of these emissions each year (Friedlingstein et al., 2020). The controls on this land surface carbon sink are still poorly understood and would have a strong impact on future CO2 growth rates (CGR) if they were to change significantly. There are notable increases in CGR during El Niño events and decreases during La Niña events (Keeling & Revelle, 1985) and there is also a widespread consensus that variations in tropical ecosystems exert the most significant influence on global CGR.
Tropical temperatures have a strong positive correlation with CGR (Wang et al., 2013) and given that tropical temperatures are usually considered optimal for photosynthesis, any elevation in these temperatures under global warming could amplify the CGR. However it has recently been realised that water availability is also playing a really important role, see Fig 2.
Figure 2 shows detrended interannual variations in the atmospheric CGR in black, and the total terrestrial water storage (TWS on a reversed axis) in blue, as measured from the GRACE satellite which detects water through mass redistributions over the Earth’s surface, (from Petch et al. 2024 following Humphreys et al. 2018).
Less water over land e.g. during the El Niño in 2015/6, goes with more rapid increases in atmospheric CO2 as the land surface absorption is reduced. This range of uptake (up to 4GtC/yr) is really large and to understand this relationship better we really need to regionalise the surface response, see Fig 3.
Figure 3 shows the regional interannual correlations in GRACE surface water storage and the global CGR (Petch et al. 2024).
Petch et al. (2024) found that the tropics alone can explain the entire global TWS-CGR relationship seen in Fig 2, with only minor offsetting contributions from the northern and southern hemisphere extratropics. Additionally, tropical forests, e.g. over the Amazon, were found to be the dominant land cover type governing this relationship, despite occupying only a relatively small portion of the land surface. While the negative correlations in Fig 3 (and other evidence) point to the importance of the tropics in the global relation seen in Fig 2, it would be important to have direct regional surface CO2 flux data to back this up.
Having a verifiable way of comparing surface CO2 fluxes is of course of the highest scientific and political importance. Currently national anthropogenic CO2 emissions all rely on national inventories which are hard to verify or compare. CO2 in the atmosphere gets mixed relatively quickly, at least at the hemispheric level, and so only frequent reliable satellite based atmospheric measurements stand a chance of achieving this, e.g. ESA’s CO2M-(A,B,C) multi-satellite mission, launching 2025/6. In the meantime, less frequent satellite measurements e.g. GOSAT (2009 onwards) can be assimilated into atmospheric transport models which may then be used to infer surface sources and sinks which best match observed atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Given the importance of these estimates many teams produce such surface CO2 flux products, although many still rely on in situ measurements alone and show a lot of disagreement between regional results (Fig 4).
Figure 4 shows % contributions to global land carbon flux interannual variability over 2001-2023 from four atmospheric CO2 inverse model products. Note, the NISMON-CO2 map is depicted over a larger range due to higher contributions from tropical forests. While these products agree well with the global CGR from Fig 2, the regional agreements can be seen to be fairly poor, Petch et al. (2024).
We believe there is potential to bring in additional satellite-based information from the land surface such as the GRACE water data shown earlier, and perhaps other datasets such as ESA’s Climate Change Initiative Land surface temperature measurements (https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/land-surface-temperature/), to provide additional constraints to these atmospheric CO2 transport models and bring greater confidence to space-based estimates of regional CO2 fluxes. This would help both improve understanding of ecosystem responses to climatic changes as well as provide better verification tools for monitoring anthropogenic emissions in a more verifiable way.

Shop an Amazon Lookalike for Selena Gomez’s Tweed Skirt Set

Has Selena Gomez ever worn a bad outfit? I don’t think so! Whether she’s walking the red carpet, going to dinner or simply hanging with friends, the actress and beauty mogul consistently steps out in enviable ensembles. Her latest eye-catching look is one that I’m immediately adding to my style vision board.
While attending the Netflix Awards Brunch in London this past Sunday, Gomez stepped out wearing a timeless Schiaparelli tartan coat and skirt set. Pairing the elegant set with black tights and boots, she looked like cinema royalty. I knew I needed a similar style in my wardrobe — although, preferably one that cost less than $10,000. Of course, Amazon has come to the rescue with a strikingly similar tweed set for under $50!
Get the Floerns Tweed Blazer & Skirt Set for $49 on Amazon!
The Floerns Tweed Blazer & Skirt Set effortlessly blends sophistication with today’s trends courtesy of the tweed fabric, mini skirt silhouette and cropped jacket detailing. Much like Gomez’s Tartan set, this one comes in an inky black hue and features hefty hardware with ornamental buttons that run from the neckline all the way to the hemline. The jacket might not fully close like Gomez’s, but that simply allows you to experiment with the styling — as we head into the colder months, you can layer with a turtleneck, and once spring rolls around a tank will pair beautifully, too!
While the Floerns set is inherently dressy, you can make it a bit more casual depending on accessories and shoe choice. For example, you can follow Gomez’s lead with black tights and booties for a striking holiday party look. Or, you can opt for white sneakers for a more informal vibe that doesn’t skimp in the style department.
Hundreds of shoppers have raved about this set over the years, though they do mention that it runs a little small. Our advice? Go up one size for the ideal fit. Plus, if you’ve been wanting to add more color to your wardrobe (like me) or simply aren’t a fan of black, the same combo comes in six other pastel hues, like pink and dusty purple.

Classy sets like these have been becoming more and more popular, so you should expect to see celebrities wearing them all winter. Build up your own collection with more of the best options we found on Amazon below!

8 Tips for Getting the Beste Forbrukslån for You
People often find themselves in need of money they don’t have. Sometimes, it’s the little things – like that new piece of clothing that you would very much like to have but that you, after carefully considering your budget, decide you can’t afford until your next paycheck. Sometimes, however, we are talking about bigger things, such as doing home renovations, buying a new vehicle, going on vacation, organizing certain important events, and similar.
Nobody is that concerned about the little things, especially since the next paycheck can provide them with the funds they need. What happens, though, when your paycheck isn’t enough to cover the costs you are planning on making, such as those I’ve mentioned above, or some unexpected ones that may have arisen? What do you do in such cases? Do you give up the home renovation ideas, do you decide not to repair or buy a new car, and do you, for example, continue paying off expensive debts month after month, due to not having enough money to cover them all at once?
Well, you could do that. But, it is clearly not the best idea. So, what you should do instead is take some time and find a way to fund the expenses you have. If you have thought about the ways of covering the costs already, then a few ideas may have crossed your mind already. For one thing, you may have started thinking about asking your friends and family members to lend you the money and thus resolve your problems.
While that may seem like a good idea at first, you will soon realize that it really isn’t. After all, the people you know may not have that kind of money simply lying around. And then, even if they do, they have most likely been saving it for their own expenses, meaning that they may not be willing to lend it to you, without knowing when you will be able to return them. Finally, the fact that you won’t be able to return it all at once, and quickly for that matter, can put quite some strain on your relationships, and the money is definitely not worth it.
There is, however, another thing you can do, and I am sure that you’ve thought about it already as well. In short, you can get a forbrukslån, that is, a personal loan, and thus enjoy the possibility of getting the money you need quickly and then repaying it slowly, in monthly installments over a certain period of time. Sure, this solution comes with interest, meaning you’ll pay a bit more than you’ve borrowed, but that is usually a small price to pay for the convenience of getting the money you require for one thing or another.
Speaking of interest, here are some tips that could help you get a low interest loan: https://www.mindmybusinessnyc.com/8-steps-to-finding-a-lav-rente-forbrukslan/
Anyway, chances are you’ve already decided to take out a loan, given that you’ve realized that it is the best solution for you. What you may not be sure about, though, is how to get the best one for you. So, that is precisely what we are going to be discussing below. In short, I will share some tips that should take you towards getting the best personal loan for you. As you’ll see, there are some important steps to take, as well as significant factors to consider, and if you do everything right, you will definitely get to enjoy the perfect borrowing solution for you.
1. Talk to Other Borrowers
Unsurprisingly, you should begin the process by talking to other borrowers. That is, to other people you know have previously borrowed money from lenders. Most of them will be ready to share their experiences, to tell you about the borrowing conditions they have secured, as well as about the lenders they have worked with. So, talking to them will give you some ideas on what to expect, as well as possibly lead you towards checking out specific lenders and their borrowing terms. For now, though, your task is simply to make a list of those lenders.
2. Search the Web
Of course, there is something else you can, and should, do to make that list. In the simplest words possible, you should search for the lenders online. Most will have their own websites, which will allow you to further check them out and decide if they are right for you or not. But, we will get to that part a bit later. For now, the key is in understanding that you should browse the Web when aiming at making a list of potential lenders.
3. Check Out Different Lenders
What a lot of people do, for one reason or another, is randomly select one of the lenders from the list and decide to work with them. Or, they simply pay a quick visit to their sites and decide that they’ve done enough research and that they are ready to choose. Those are both, however, rather wrong moves to make, as they can lead you towards choosing poorly and then being unhappy with the borrowing terms in the end. So, don’t make this mistake and, instead, take as much time as you need to carefully check out and research different lenders.
4. Check Their Legitimacy
First off, you should check their legitimacy, because you definitely don’t want to work with shady lenders. Check how long they have been in business, and determine if they are legit or not. Don’t focus solely on finding info at their official websites, though, because you may be able to find some more useful information elsewhere online. For one thing, reading reviews written about past clients, and checking ratings, is bound to be of great help here.
5. And Their Reputation
There is another thing that the reviews can help you with, and that you should absolutely remember to check. In few words, I am referring to the reputation of the lenders you’re researching. Clearly, you want to work with highly reputable and trusted ones, so don’t forget to inspect the reputation before making any final choices. This way, once you do make a choice, you will be absolutely sure that you have chosen a reliable lender to be your partner in the borrowing process.
6. Take a Look at the Offered Interest Rates
Of course, so as to find the beste forbrukslån, you will have to take a closer look at the interest rates that the different lenders are offering. The best way to do this is through visiting those comparison websites that list various lenders and their terms and conditions all in one place. When you click this link, for example, you will see that there are quite a lot of lenders out there and that having them all listed in one place will absolutely help you in your researching process, because you’ll get to easily compare the terms, including the interest rates. Naturally, the goal here is to get the lowest interest rates possible, as I am guessing you understand already that those rates will impact the overall costs of your loan.
7. Work on Your Credit Score If Necessary
What a lot of individuals fail to understand is that they have a say in the interest rates as well. To put it differently, it is their financial situation that will affect them too, meaning that the lenders will choose what kinds of rates to propose to different borrowers based specifically on their credit scores. Therefore, it would be a good idea for you to take time to improve your credit score if you find it necessary, as that could result not only in increasing your chances of being approved for the loan, but also in securing lower interest rates and thus a better overall borrowing deal. So, cancel any of your unnecessary subscriptions, pay outstanding debts and basically do anything you can to boost your credit score before applying for any loan solution.
8. Apply & Wait for Approval
Once you have improved the score, you’ll be ready to make some final choices. You will decide on the amount you have to borrow and on the repayment period that works for you perfectly, and then what you will do next is send the application through. After the application goes through, all you have to do is wait for a while and let the lender review it and approve it. When the loan is approved, you will get the money deposited into your account, and you will be able to use it in any way you want.
