Shaping the Obtawaing Biosphere Region
“Obtawaing” is the Anishinaabemowin word for “at the halfway place.”
It was the name for the center of the Odawa village that used to stretch 16 miles along northern Lake Michigan, near the town of Harbor Springs and the hamlets Good Hart and Cross Village, says Frank Ettawageshik, executive director of the United Tribes of Michigan and former tribal chairman of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Harbor Springs.
Now, the word has been adapted to describe the Obtawaing Biosphere Region, a newly awarded designation springing from the U-M Biological Station (UMBS) in Pellston.
The designation is a renewal of UMBS’ status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, originally granted in 1979. The biosphere had included the 13,000 acres of lands managed by UMBS. Now, as the name Obtawaing reflects, the biosphere region includes the converging areas of two Michigan Peninsulas, three Great Lakes, and a diversity of cultures. It loosely spans Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula and southeastern Upper Peninsula, stretching from the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and across the Mackinac Straits to Sugar Island, near Sault Ste. Marie.
The redesignation effort was led by Knute Nadelhoffer, former director of the UMBS and professor emeritus in the U-M Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. As Nadelhoffer and Adam Schubel, resident biologist at UMBS’ Pellston campus on Douglas Lake, were beginning to grapple with UMBS’ redesignation, Jon Allan was visiting a UNESCO biosphere reserve thousands of miles away, in Switzerland.
Allan, the academic and research program officer for SEAS, first learned of the UNESCO biosphere program when he traveled to Europe in his then-capacity as director of the Office of the Great Lakes. He visited Entlebuch, Switzerland’s first UNESCO biosphere reserve, and looked at a map of biosphere reserves across the world.
“I saw three dots on the Great Lakes side of North America. One was at Isle Royale, one was at the U-M Biological Station, and one was in the Lake Champlain watershed, on the boundary of the Adirondack Park,” Allan says. “I’m the guy who’s supposed to understand the significance of the Great Lakes, and not just the biological and hydrogeophysical elements of the lakes, but the fish and the culture and our people—and I had never heard of these three places designated as internationally important areas.”
At a 2018 meeting in Brockville, Ontario, of nine UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in the Great Lakes Basin, Allan reached out to Nadelhoffer to become involved.
UNESCO biosphere reserves consist of three interrelated zones. Each region has a core zone. This “strictly protected” zone is committed to the conservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species, and genetic variation. Obtawaing has several core zones, including the UMBS in Pellston; the UMBS Chase Osborn Preserve; and an array of land preserves protected by organizations including the Central Michigan University Biological Station on Beaver Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, sovereign tribal nations, and several land conservancies.
Radiating out from these core zones are buffer zones, or areas “used for activities compatible with sound ecological practices that can reinforce scientific research, monitoring, training, and education.” Obtawaing is unique among the world UNESCO biospheres for having numerous core areas where biological diversity is generated and sustained, Allan says.
“It’s what I like to call the peppered landscape—it’s pretty highly fragmented. It’s not just Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore or the U-M Biological Station, but hundreds of both state and federal protected lands that will form the basis of a multiple core model,” Allan says. “So then, the question becomes, what knits them together? I’m not just saying what physically knits them together, like a path or a trail. But what intellectually and spiritually knits them together?”
This knitted area is what UNESCO calls the third zone, or the transition area, where the program hopes to help communities “foster socioculturally and ecologically sustainable economic and human activities.” It’s a zone in which leaders of the program seek to foster humans’ sustainable relationship to the environment they inhabit, and they enlisted SEAS graduate students to help document how people live and work in the region.
Daniela Fernández Méndez Jiménez, Kate Montero, and Samuel Frederickson began working with Allan as part of their SEAS master’s project. The students researched other biosphere regions and based on their research and visits to Northern Michigan, aim to provide possible organizational structures that Obtawaing can implement, Fernández says.
“What really drew me to this project is that it seemed like it was a microcosm of what we need to do in the world, which is to collaborate with partners, to figure out how to move forward when it comes to environment and sustainability—especially with partners who have different points of views and different experiences and organizations that approach things very differently,” says Fernández, whose specializations are Behavior, Education, and Communication and Ecosystem Science and Management.
As part of their work on this project, the students joined Allan for tours of the Obtawaing Biosphere Region. They started in Cadillac, Michigan, and wound toward the Lake Michigan shoreline, making stops at sand dunes in Arcadia; the beach town of Elberta; Maple City and Cedar, where the students found a Polish community and cultural center; and over to Traverse City, renowned for its cherry orchards and wineries. During a second trip, the group visited Beaver Island and UMBS, as well as other towns and cultural sites in the Tip of the Mitt.
For Frederickson, the trip was a way to see in person the land he was mapping as his contribution to the project. Along with Allan, he is creating a repository of spatial data—maps of rivers, watersheds, roads, and other lands—that Obtawaing’s partners can access and use.
“This is a project that will be going on beyond our time at U-M,” says Frederickson, who is specializing in Geospatial Data Sciences and Ecosystem Science and Management. “We’ve just been helping to get it on its feet and getting it into a position that will be successful for however long Obtawaing exists—hopefully forever.”

Crooked Counsel has been on the music scene in Gainesville for many years now. The band, originally formed in 1994 by lead vocalist Shuri Pass, used the name “Santa Fe” for several years, playing various venues in and around Gainesville. Keyboard and second guitarist, John Middleton joined about 10 months after the band originated and put some new pizazz into the repertoire. John also sings back up and a few lead vocals.
Santa Fe played out for another year or so when personnel difficulties brought them to a halt for about six months. During this time, drummer Tim Sellers joined the band. Santa Fe played a mixture of rock, blues and country music. The influence of the new drummer, Tim Sellers, brought about the removal of the country tunes and created a new focus on solid classic rock and roll. When it began to appear that Santa Fe was being overlooked by certain venues due to the more country sound of the name, it was decided a new name would be needed to further their pursuits. The name Crooked Counsel was chosen – John Middleton is a practicing attorney in Melrose, FL and Tim Sellers was, at that time, a substance abuse counselor – the obvious basis for the new name. Tim passed away in 2016 and will always be missed by his friends in Crooked Counsel.
The band’s current drummer is Donnie Ray Henley. He has played all over the US and has been one of the most sought after musicians in the studio and on the stage for many years. Donnie's exposure to all styles of music has given him the ability to adapt to the many musical styles the band plays.Initially Crooked Counsel used two local bassists – Joe Loper and Fritz Knaggs who alternated gigs, but eventually Joe Loper became the official bassist for the band. After over sixteen years, Joe has retired to hand-build his beautiful guitars. Yomi Olatunde was the bassist for a number of years. Now Kenny is the bassist. Kenny recently moved to Gainesville. He has been playing bass since he was 15 years old and has played in a variety of bands both here and abroad. His wide ranging musical interests include Mongolian Throat Singing and Ethiopian jazz.
Crooked Counsel has had several excellent lead guitarists over the years, starting out with Randy Walker of Gainesville, Carl Haskins, Pat Davis and Jesse Smith, also from the area. Our current lead player is Rick Hutton, of Gainesville, who also sings lead and back-up vocals. He is a dedicated and tasteful guitarist – a truly talented performer.
Shuri, the lead vocalist and front person for the band, resides in Keystone Heights. She sings everything from Adele to Zepplin and folks just cannot seem to help comparing her to Janis Joplin, something Shuri considers the ultimate compliment. She also plays acoustic guitar and you can sometimes find her performing solo at local restaurants.
Crooked Counsel is an energetic classic rock cover band with a large and diverse repertoire and a capacity to please any audience.

This book is a critical analysis of colonial ordinances and mining capital in the Jos tin mines of Northern Nigeria .We demonstrated that the legal superstructure and colonial ordinances in particular acted as catalyst in the process of colonial exploitation by the tin mining industry.The Colonial ordinances were used as instrument of coercion(political control) propaganda (maintenance of class interest) and economic exploitation of the indigenous population on one hand and protected the economic interest of the foreign mining companies on the other hand. The land, mineral and labour ordinances were systematically used to take over control of indigenous tin mining and the exploitation of the indigenous population through high taxation, low wages, forced labour e.t.c The overall impact of British colonial ordinances facilitated British control over land, labour and mineral resources of the region.It sanctioned the expropriation and appropriation of super profits resulting in the exploitation and impoverishment of both peasants and mine laborers by the colonial government and foreign mining companies.It left a legacy of poverty and social conflict that characterized the Jos plateau.

SQL Commands are categorized into DDL, DQL, DML, DCL & TCL. Learn the commands included in each of these categories with their purpose and explanation.
SQL Command Types
Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to create a database(s) and perform different operations on it. There is a huge list of operations that can be performed on databases and their tables. For each operation is there is some unique SQL command or a set of commands. For the sake of simplicity, these commands are categorized into a different set of commands on the basis of the specificity of their purpose.
These categories are listed below.
- DDL (Data Definition Language)
- DQL (Data Query Language)
- DML (Data Manipulation Language)
- DCL (Data Control Language)
- TCL (Transaction Control Language)
Let’s discuss each of these categories in detail and also find out what particular SQL commands are included in each of these categories.
Note. The objects of a database include tables, functions, indexes, triggers, views, functions, store-procedures, etc. So, wherever I use the word objects, please keep in mind, it refers to these things.
Data Definition Language, as the name suggests is used to define the database. So, this category includes all the commands that are not just used to define the database but also to perform several other things that are related to the definition of the database. The operations belonging to the database schema comes into this category. This includes the following commands.
The CREATE command is used to create a new database(s) or its objects.
The DROP command is used to delete the database objects.
The ALTER command is used to restructure the database tables, such as to change the columns, their data types, and index keys.
The TRUNCATE command is used to empty a database table. The data of a table completely vanish but there is no effect on the structure of the database table.
Data Dictionary includes comments. The COMMENT command is used to add these comments in the Data Dictionary.
The RENAME command is used to rename the database objects.
Data Query Language is used to query the information from the database. So, it includes the commands that are used to fetch the information from the database. There is particularly only one command that is used to fetch information from the database and its objects and that is the SELECT command.
The SELECT Statement is used to select the desired column values from the Database and its tables.
It is also the type of SELECT command that is used to select only the unique table records.
Data Manipulation Language is used to manipulate the database and its objects. So, it includes all the commands that are used to add new data or modify existing database data. DML includes the following listed SQL commands.
The INSERT command is used to insert new records in the database tables.
The UPDATE command is used to update existing database table records.
The DELETE command is used to delete the records from a database table.
The LOCK command is used to lock the privileges of reading or writing to a table.
The MERGE command is used to merge the records of a database table.
Data Control Language is used to control the database rights from different database users. So, using the DCL commands one can manage which database and its objects should be accessible or modifiable by which users. These are so sophisticated that the database administrator can assign which particular SQL Statements a user can execute or not. Therefore, these commands allow database management with atomic level security. There are basically two DCL commands that are listed below.
The GRANT command is used to give particular rights or privileges to the database user(s).
The REVOKE command is used to withdraw the rights or privileges from the database user(s).
Again as the name suggests, Transaction Control Language is used to control everything related to the transaction happening in accordance with the database(s). There are several different SQL commands that are used for transactions and they are listed below.
The COMMIT command is used to commit the transaction. In other, this command is used to store the changes performed by the transaction into the database.
The ROLLBACK command is used to re-do the changes performed by a transaction in case of an anomaly or error.
The SAVEPOINT adds a checkpoint to the transaction process.
The different characters of a transaction can be defined using the SET TRANSACTION command.
I hope you find this guide useful. If so, do share it with others who are willing to learn SQL. If you have any questions related to this article, feel free to ask them in the comments section.

Thailand to review nuclear power plan : minister
The study on building nuclear power plants will be thoroughly reviewed amid the unfolding nuclear crisis in Japan which will be a study case for Thailand, Energy Minister Wannarat Channukul on Thursday said Thursday.His statement came as Japan faced nuclear crisis at the Fukushma nuclear power plant after the country after being hit by huge earthquake and tsunami last week.
He said the study as well as the country's 20-year Power Development Plan (PDP 2010) will be carefully reviewed,
Initially, five 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plants are to be be built on 2020, but if the plan is disrupted, it must be replaced with another form of alternative energy. In this case 13 coal-fired power plants and one natural gas plant will be built, according to the minister.
Wannarat said that local residents in upcountry Thailand also oppose the planned coal-fired plants, a move which he described as leaving the country with no other choices.
"Cancellation of the nuclear power plant construction is not a problem as we have not yet reached the decision-making process whether to build it or not," said Dr Wannarat. "Thailand is like many other countries that [now] must consider Japan's radiation leaks as a case study."
Permanent Secretary for Energy Norkhun Sitthipong said on Thursday that Thailand is awaiting a letter from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) certifying its preparation on feasibility study of Thailand's nuclear power plant construction in line with 19-item requirement by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) .
Norkhun said the letter is expected to arrive at the ministry March 31 but this may be delayed due to the radiation crisis in Japan.
In earlier discussions with the IAEA, Norkhun said, the agency concluded that Thailand was not yet ready for nuclear plants, citing concerns over legal issues, public understanding and acceptance, as well as the competency and level of development of human resources in this field.
The permanent secretary said that Thailand's national power plan 2010 will be reviewed soon to study other alternative energy such as purchasing electric power from Small Power Producers (SPP) and using more natural gas.

Few SME producers in the UK supply public procurement contracts. The National Food Strategy states: “public food procurement is dominated by a small number of larger suppliers … there is little incentive for innovation and improvement.”
A DPS offers producers and suppliers (which meet basic entry criteria) the opportunity to sell directly to the public plate. Public sector organisations gain access to seasonally varied food from regional producers and suppliers. Yet understanding local supply’s potential to meet local procurement demand remains challenging.
Alongside activities led by the South West Food Hub and following on from ROBUST, this project explored:
- The capacity of Gloucestershire’s local food supply base.
- The size of Gloucestershire’s public procurement market.
- The structures needed to successfully deploy a DPS at regional level and develop opportunities for innovation.

(Briggs Myers, 1980) Artistic is one of the Holland Personality Types.Artistic Personality Types prefer to deal with Ideas and People.. A person with an Artistic Personality tends to be Complicated, Original, Impulsive, Independent, Expressive, and Creative.; Examples of Artistic Abilities include using imagination and feelings in creative expression .; Examples of Artistic Careers include Artist, Musician, Actor.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katherine Briggs, and is based on psychologist Carl Jung's work on psychological type with Holland's Artistic (A) personality type. Kolb's Active Experimentation (AE) scale significantly correlated with Holland's Realistic (R), Social (S), Conventional (C) and Enterprising (E) personality types. Furthermore, Kolb's Reflective Observation (RO) scale significantly negatively.

Pro-life activists are coming to the aid of Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss as he battles pro-choice Democrat Jim Martin in the Georgia runoff race.
“The U.S. Senate desperately needs the pro-life leadership of Senator Saxby Chambliss,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an Arlington, Va.-based pro-life organization.
“He will defend innocent unborn children and fight for strict constructionist Supreme Court justices who won’t legislate from the bench.”
She said the outcome of the Dec. 2 runoff election will have a significant impact on efforts to fight “the coming pro-abortion onslaught,” LifeNews.com reported.
The Susan B. Anthony List is running ads on Christian radio stations that expose Martin’s pro-choice record, and her organization is connecting its membership with phone-banking facilities to call Georgia voters on Chambliss’ behalf.
“A vote for Jim Martin is a vote for taxpayer-funded partial-birth abortion,” Dannenfelser told LifeNews.
“As a state legislator, Jim Martin single-handedly refused to bring the Georgia ban on gruesome partial-birth abortion to a vote. American citizens don’t need Jim Martin’s abortion extremism in the U.S. Senate.”
Martin voted against parental notification before abortions are performed on minors, according to LifeNews. Chambliss, meanwhile, has a 100 percent pro-life voting record in the Senate and has repeatedly voted to limit abortions.
Neither Chambliss nor Martin received more than 50 percent of the vote on Election Day, triggering the runoff.
Democrats will hold at least 58 seats in the U.S. Senate come January, and a Martin victory would bring the total to at least 59 – just one vote shy of a filibuster-proof majority.
The Democrats are pouring massive resources into Georgia hoping to defeat Chambliss. Barack Obama has kept 25 of his Georgia field offices open for Martin and has brought in about 100 field operatives from outside the state.
A recent Rasmussen poll had Chambliss with 50 percent of the vote and Martin with 46 percent, with 4 percent undecided.

The way you manage your life force energy becomes the unique expression of your body. If you resist life, stress will block the flow of energy, inhibit your immune system, and upset the chemistry of your body. Let go of stress by accepting your life with all of its blessings and challenges.
Creative energy is the resource that your mind uses to create the life of your dreams. If you deplete creativity with worry then you will be squandering this valuable energy with the misuse of your imagination. Dissolve worry by directing your thoughts towards what you do want rather than what you don't want. This will keep your creative energy flowing in the direction of your goals and dreams.
Imagine yourself as a magnificent tree deeply rooted in the earth, growing to full potential, open to receiving light, giving to others, and being naturally aligned. Connect with its strength, flexibility and endurance to increase your vitality.
Loving energy is a resource of the heart that expands when shared. If you allow fear to block its expression you will experience an unpleasant emotion to guide you back to love. Your pleasant emotions are letting you know that your thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment with your soul.
Divine energy fuels your spirit. If doubt gets in the way you’ll feel disconnected and life becomes a struggle. Some of the best ways to stay connected with this resource is through prayer, meditation, contemplation and spending time in nature.
Divine Love is the most powerful force in the universe. It is expressing itself through creation. You are an expression of Divine Love and it's up to you to choose how you will express this energy in the world of form.
You are being guided by your soul when you feel courageous, confident, powerful, strong and focused. You realize that nothing is happening to you, it's happening for you, and you appreciate knowing that the universe is always on your side.

He said the health workers have started screening people from Tetrem Police Barrier and other communities in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality.
So far, he said 9 suspected Covid-19 patients in the Municipality have tested negative out of a total of 13 samples sent to the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research laboratory. Four more results are pending.

Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life by Louise Aronson
For more than 5,000 years, "old" has been defined as beginning between the ages of 60 and 70. That means most people alive today will spend more years in elderhood than in childhood, and many will be elders for 40 years or more. Yet at the very moment that humans are living longer than ever before, we've made old age into a disease, a condition to be dreaded, disparaged, neglected, and denied.
Reminiscent of Oliver Sacks, noted Harvard-trained geriatrician Louise Aronson uses stories from her quarter century of caring for patients, and draws from history, science, literature, popular culture, and her own life to weave a vision of old age that's neither nightmare nor utopian fantasy -- a vison full of joy, wonder, frustration, outrage, and hope about aging, medicine and humanity itself.
I find myself sharing stories from Elderhood with friends and family. Elderhood discusses how the lack of resources and research placed on the treatment of older patients leads to uneven and inadequate medical treatment. The is gap is attributable to doctors, hospitals, drug companies, etc but the dangers of errors - big and small - are almost incalculable.
I found Aronson's Elderhood is as engrossing and as informative as Mukerjee's Emperor of All Maladies. While Aronson focuses on anecdotes and examples more than Mukerjee's examples in medical history, Aronson writes clearly, succinctly and eloquently. Elderhood is makes strong arguments for reform in medicine and I hope that doctors in all areas of medicine read this book.

You might look at Kelly's lance. He came up with a great way to make fine holes, and small bubbles is what you want. I was melting some dirty scrap making ingots yesterday and I was getting 11 minute cycle time pour to pour. My crucible is small, I was pouring 5 lbs at a time. I'm using a 4-1/2" OD 304 stainless steel pipe for a crucible and have a couple of hundred pours on it. I'll make another when necessary for aluminum. In what I do, and your parts so far, all I see with casting alloy is a slight improvement in surface finish. What are you burning for fuel?


Sterling ‘Scoot’ Henderson is talented enough to go No. 1 overall in a typical NBA draft, but this year he’ll be the big prize waiting at No. 2 because he just so happens to be in the same class as French super prospect Victor Wembanyama. Henderson may not be a 7’5 freak of nature who can rip three-pointers and put a lid on the rim defensively like Wemby, but you can make a case the Georgia native is the most complete point guard prospect to hit the draft in a decade.
Henderson originally left Kell High School just outside of Atlanta to sign a two-year contract with the NBA G League Ignite. Henderson was a sensation as a 17-year-old rookie in the G League last year, and he looked primed for another breakthrough this season after an incredible showing against Wembanyama in a made-for-TV preseason game. Then just a few games into the Ignite’s regular season, Henderson broke his nose, went into concussion protocol, and missed about two months.
Henderson recently returned to the court, and he’s already reminding people why he’s such an awesome lead guard prospect. In a game against the Birmingham Squadron on Tuesday, Henderson authored one of his greatest highlight plays ever: a ridiculous driving dunk that put defender Feron Hunt on a poster. Watch the play here:
It is not normal for a 6’2, 18-year-old point guard to make that play. Scoot Henderson is special, and he’s going to make some team very happy with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Henderson is the definition of an elite athlete. He’s extremely fast with the ball in his hands, possesses the strength and power to play through contact at the rim, and has elite explosiveness as a leaper around the basket. He’s proving to be a damn good facilitator, too. Just about the only thing missing from Henderson’s game is a reliable three-point shot, and he’s improving in that area, as well.
No one is touching Wembanyama for the No. 1 in the 2023 draft, but in reality it really feels like two teams will get a top overall pick. Scoot is that good.

A new study published in Nature Climate Change highlights the important role plant nutrients play in carbon retention within forests. Whilst it has been widely accepted that climate and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere control the productivity of forests. It now turns out that without adequate levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium the potential carbon storage of a forest is limited. Whilst to many gardeners this may seem logical, after all good fertilizer is key to bumper vegetable crops, what this means is that many of our state-of-the-art Earth system models are lacking an important component.
Analysis of data from 92 forested sites across the globe indicates that nutrient availability is the dominant driver of carbon retention in forests.

“THE path is clear, but will we take it?” asked a recent New Scientist cover on how to boost the world’s harvest to alleviate the global food crisis (14 June). The report itself discussed ways to increase crop production, but said surprisingly little about how to get meat production to meet growing demand.
Humans evolved to be omnivores. We’re poor converters of most vegetable matter, and gained much in the past from using herbivorous animals to convert grass and leaves into high-quality protein. But in a world where food and land are in short supply, livestock production is …

A user reported a Wi-Fi issue on a PC running Windows 10 the 64-bit version. Here is what you need to know about it.
Microsoft’s “Critical Update” brings a Wi-Fi issue on Windows 10
The user described the problem on HP’s official forum. It looks like the Internet keeps shutting down without asking for permission. The user checked to see in the system was hacked, but it turned out that it wasn’t. On the other hand, when the user looked at the drivers and Windows processes, there was a driver “RTL8723BE/RTL8188Ee 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN” with an exclamation mark. It also had Error 10 Device can not start.
The user’s machine was an HP 10 Notebook PC running Windows 10.
After three days, the Internet worked well again, but two days later, it dropped dead. The user disabled that particular driver, restarted the computer, enabled the driver again and the Internet started working fine once more.
Unfortunately, the issue kept popping every other day, so the user restored the system before Microsoft’s “Critical Update, ” and it worked fine. But the computer got the update again, and the Internet driver became flawed once more.
Such issues cause frustration and disbelief among users because it looks like Microsoft’s mandatory update is killing systems.
The user also said that he deleted the restore points before the update, so he wasn’t able to restore anymore, and the driver disappeared. After using Easy Driver to reinstall it, it worked for 3 seconds and then it deleted itself.
No solution for the Wi-Fi issue
The user was advised to check for updates in MS and HP, but that didn’t work either. The Internet drives kept being deleted. The computer simply removed the driver every time it got installed.
It seems that the problem remained without a fix, for now, and who knows how long it will be until a workaround comes along.

---- — GLOUCESTER — While the U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a vessel that went missing earlier this week, the Guard’s Marine Board of Investigations will now be conducting an investigation in an effort to find out what happened to that vessel, the Foxy Lady II and its crew.
The primary focus of the Coast Guard efforts had been searching for any of the crew members before hypothermia may have set in, in addition to other safety concerns. The Foxy Lady II, manned by Capt. Wally Gray Jr., 26 and Wayne Young, 50, both of Deer Isle, Maine, are presumed lost at sea and the search was suspended Wednesday around 5 p.m.
The vessel had set out for a day trip on Saturday, Dec. 15; it was first reported missing by the captain’s girlfriend on Monday, Dec. 17.
The board will review all of the Coast Guard information in more detail, according to Chief Petty Officer Jeff Hall.
A rescue pod identified as being from the Foxy Lady II, was found in a Saugus marsh on Tuesday around 5 p.m. Hall confirmed it was from the same vessel and said a typical rescue pod may include supplies such as water, flares, food and other emergency items. The pod that was recovered, however, did not appear to have ever been opened, and there was no sign of anybody inside, he said.
No other verified items from the Foxy Lady II have been recovered. On the same night the rescue pod washed ashore in Saugus, there were also reports that nets and other fishing gear had been found in Hull. But none of that equipment has been linked to the missing scallop boat.
Hall said an investigation is very thorough and could take months.
The board plans to investigate all the data gathered by the Coast Guard, further interviews with friends and family members, boat inspection records, weather patterns and all other marine traffic in the area when the vessel was first reported missing.
Vigil here Sunday
Meanwhile, a candlelight vigil is being planned for the crew of the Foxy Lady II in Gloucester, and is scheduled for Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Gloucester Fishermen’s Memorial on Stacy Boulevard.
Various churches and synagogues helped organize the event, but all are welcomed to attend, said the Rev. Rona Tyndall, one of the vigil organizers. In addition, the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association is in the process of starting a fund through BankGloucester to benefit the family members and relatives of the crew. A collection plate will be available at the vigil.
Angela Sanfillipo, president of the wives association, said the crew members were well known in town.
“Just because they don’t live in Gloucester, that doesn’t mean they’re not our fishermen,” she said.
Donations for the Foxy Lady II fund may be sent to care of Gloucester Bank, 160 Main St., Gloucester.

His 14 points, 13 of them not self-directed, offer some terrific insight into the next stages. Among them:
1. Google will lose market share but its stock will rise.
2. Yahoo and AOL will merge and Microsoft will buy the search business from the merged entity.

From The Asian Reporter, V29, #03 (February 4, 2019),
"Superstore" actor relishes true-to-life gay
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — For Nico Santos, the role he plays on
NBC’s sitcom "Superstore" is personal.
"I never thought in a million years I’d be involved in a
project that celebrated the fullness of my identity of being
queer and Asian," Santos told a TV critics’ meeting.
He also appreciates the comedy’s focus on what his character,
Mateo, has faced after learning that he’s an immigrant in the
"I certainly know a lot of members of my community who are
undocumented, and that’s so relevant right now. I’ve gotten so
many messages from everybody. People stop me wherever I go who
are ... just really appreciative of the fact that we’ve tackled
the issue, because they themselves are undocumented or a family
member or a loved one is undocumented."
Santos, who played Oliver in Crazy Rich Asians, said
he’s grateful the comedy is portraying the character with
"dignity and respect."
Colton Dunn, who plays Garrett in the series set in a big-box
store, said Mateo is important to the show. Dunn and his
castmates, including America Ferrera, took part in a panel
promoting the show’s midseason return in March.
"A lot of times, the narrative of undocumented workers and
undocumented people is that they are criminals," Dunn said.
"That’s a narrative that’s put out there. And the other side is,
‘No, they are not.’ It’s great to have an actual example of a
character who is really just living through this time out here.
All he’s trying to do is be a floor supervisor at a superstore."

Yes, it is a bit of a belated question.
|A picture of Tahrir, said to be taken either in 1941 or 1958.|
As you probably know by now, Tahrir is the Arabic for "Liberation." But how did the iconic Egyptian revolutionary square get its serendipitous title? Well, I recently ventured and got myself a copy of the former head of State TV News Abdel-Latif El Manawy's book, in which he recounts from his point of view and position what happened during the 18 days of the revolution. On page 351 of the Arabic third edition, it says (using his own language, while making some edits on the painful continuous usage of commas without any fullstops):
"Tahrir square was named at the beginning of its construction as Al-Ismailiyya square, in reference to Khedive Ismail who also founded Qasr El-Nil bridge as well as the square. The name of the square was changed from Al-Ismailiyya to Tahrir after the revolution of (19)19, with many stories said regarding the naming. Some said it was a reference to the "liberation of peoples," but there is another story of greater credibility that was recounted in multiple sources. That story goes that the square was given that name after Hoda Shaarawi [an Egyptian feminist], during the revolution of (19)19 took off her niqab [traditional face cover] and the women who were with her at the time took off their niqabs as well as they participated in the revolution inside the square. And from that came the naming of the square, from the liberation of women, towards which many liberation calls took off under the leadership of Qasem Amin later on, and henceforth the square was named Tahrir Square.
After that came another story after the July Revolution [of 1952] when some explained in their books later on that it was called 'liberation square' as a reference to the liberation of the country from corruption, and from the monarchy after the Free Officers [Military Movement] succeeded in bringing down the monarchy in Egypt.
The square emulates in its design the Charles De Gaulles square ...[in Paris.] etc."
While the Hoda Shaarawi story seems to have quite spread online, there are problems with it. Other than the unlikelihood that the monarchy would rename a square named by the Khedive Ismail after himself, and that Al-Wafd wasn't immediately on board with all of Shaarawi's feminist demands, the most direct problem with the story is that most credible sources I have come across indicate Shaarwi only uncovered her face in 1923 after returning from a conference in Rome, 4 years after the revolution.
The official story that I keep running into, however, is that the square became unofficially known as Tahrir Square after the revolution of 1919 as a reference to the "liberation" from the British, as Egypt was fighting British occupation at the time, and from the monarchy. In 1954, the military regime renamed it officially as Tahrir Square so as to signal this brand new era for Egypt. Nasser was supposedly going to have a statue of himself in the centre of the square, according to some accounts, but that idea was scrapped after the defeat in 1967. If someone asks me, I think I am sticking to this story.
|Egyptian army in 1952 in Tahrir as Nasser ends the Monarchy.|
|Tahrir, apparently in the 50s.|
|Protests, apparently in 1967, asking Nasser to stay after he said he would step down following defeat in the 1967 war.|
|Sometime before the January revolution.|

Seeking Spirit Beyond the Bottle: A Journey to Freedom through an addictive society
We live in an addictive society in which compulsiveness has become an art form, and most people have dependencies of some sort. This book was written to help all dependent people learn ways to follow a spiritual path, even if their dependencies might be one of those potentially less severe than alcoholism or drug addiction: such as workaholism, materialism, excessive anxiety, or relationship difficulties. To quote from the author: People these days talk seriously of addictions to television, the Internet, or to acquiring material possessions. These are usually self involved occupations. It's as though humanity knows somehow that joy is their natural state, but they lack the ability to open enough to experience it. They are seeking comfort and joy in all the wrong places. This memoir tells the story of three generations afflicted with alcoholism and its effects on family and friends. It chronicles the author's growing up with an alcoholic mother in the middle of the twentieth century, and her own later development of the same illness despite her strong commitment to avoid this. It describes the methods she has used to remain in recovery over twenty seven years, and includes information learned from her twenty plus years of working as an addictions' counselor, and from her ongoing relationships with an alcoholic spouse and an emotionally disabled son. This book speaks to issues of import to much of humanity, such as abandonment, the need for safely and security in an insecure world, the need to give control back to a spiritual source, the need for forgiveness of self and others, and the primary need to find Spirit within and not without. To quote again from Ms. Sherry's words: I no longer think of God as dwelling in heaven, wherever that might be. As a child, heaven seemed to be a place above the sky. However, even though I now know more of the facts about our Universe, I still can't identify a place called heaven.

Puerperal mastitis is a very common type of mastitis during breastfeeding. What are its symptoms and what causes it? We will discover everything that you need to know about it.
The mastitis is basically the inflammation of the mammary gland, which can actually be affected by a wide variety of causes, many of them wildly different, although usually very commonly associated with breastfeeding.
But obviously it is not the only one: for example, the mass production of the hormone prolactin (which stimulates the production of breast milk), or even the presence of a breast disease (benign alteration of the breast) can cause an inflammation of the mammary gland of the woman. And only in rare cases it can be caused by breast cancer or certain types of tumors.
Therefore, since mastitis outside the period of breastfeeding is considered rare, with minor symptom it is advisable to go to the doctor, who will probably ask certain tests that help in the diagnosis: such as ultrasounds, mammograms and blood tests. In fact, usually this type of inflammation tends to become chronic, and is also recurring.
We may find ourselves in a bacterial or infectious mastitis. In these cases the main “culprit” is a bacterium known as of Staphylococcus aureus (considered in fact the prototype of most common species as the cause of acute mastitis), although it is not the only one. It can also be produced by the Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterium.
The mastitis is one of the conditions that in addition to irritated or cracked nipples, breasts can suffer when the baby is breastfed. It is an infection that occurs in the ducts that circulate breast milk.
From a medical point of view, as indicated briefly at the beginning of this note, mastitis is the inflammation of the mammary gland, which occurs as a result of a blockage of milk ducts. Therefore the mastitis is also known by the names of duct ectasia, Periductal inflammation or subareolar abscess.
If mastitis occurs during breastfeeding period (during which indeed the mom is giving the breast to the baby), is known by the medical name of puerperal mastitis. This occurs when it occurs in lactating mothers, so that non-puerperal mastitis is one that occurs in the rest of the cases.
Puerperal mastitis symptoms
Symptoms that may alert you that could be affected by mastitis are:
- Similar symptoms to when we feel cold, fatigue, chills.
- Localized pain.
- Burning sensation in the breasts, in both or just one (where mastitis has occurred).
- Redness in the breast.
- Palpable and diffuse mass of varying size in the breast.
That is, the most common symptom is feeling intense pain and signs of inflammation such as redness, swelling and induration. The pain tends to feel like “sticks” and may appear areas of induration or cracks.
In the presence of any of these symptoms must consult a doctor to do the relevant review and prescribe the proper medication.
What are the causes of puerperal mastitis?
If mastitis is not caused by an infection, in the case of puerperal mastitis it is caused by two reasons: either by the accumulation of milk in the breasts, or by plugged milk duct.
When there is puerperal mastitis infection can also occur. In these cases it is because of the above, or turns to the existence of germs that invade the breast tissue through fissures or cracked nipples (so common during breastfeeding).
Puerperal mastitis treatment
When confirming the existence of an infection usually commonly used antibiotics, additional prolactin inhibitors. Similarly, consumption of paracetamol or ibuprofen helps reduce and relieve pain.
On the other hand, medical specialists advise the application of hot and wet wipes directly on the breasts. Moreover, unlike what is thought wrongly, it is advisable to breastfeed your baby more often, always in greater quantity on the part of the affected breast.

Destinations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater. Migration Safari – July to September
A whole week in which we explore some of Tanzania’s real natural wonders, as we follow the path of the Great Migration as it arrives in Northern Serengeti. In these summer months, this is where we’ll find the greatest concentration of herd animals, as the world’s biggest animal movement reaches the Mara River. Of course, Nature and rainfall determine the exact route and timings of the animals’ movement, so our daily schedule will be adjusted if necessary to ensure that we see the animals at their very best, at their most numerous.

Simply thousands of zebra, wildebeest and Cape buffalo gather at the Mara River, waiting to cross. Each day will bring something new; all explained to you by your Safaris expert.
The Great Migration is often the highlight of people’s lives, never mind the highlight of their safari! After absorbing all the excitement that Serengeti’s wildlife can provide, we head back south, changing scenery to visit stunning Ngorongoro crater, another incredible but totally different venue for the breathtaking animals of Tanzania.

Foreign Assistance: Lessons Learned From Donors' Experiences in the Pacific Region Page: 23 of 60

strategies are more likely to ensure the political commitment of the
recipient and are more likely to achieve outcomes. The ADB's approach
contrasts with the current structure of Compact assistance for the FSM
and the RMI, which generally applies the same objectives and strategies
for the two countries.
* Flexible Strategies Are Important to Adapt Assistance to Changing
Circumstances and Needs.
Flexibility in assistance strategies is enabling the donors to respond to
changing conditions in the Pacific. Flexibility not only allows donors to
curtail assistance if the funds are not used effectively or properly, but it
also permits donors to (1) adjust strategies to meet changing needs, such
as transferring resources from one sector to another, and (2) provide
rewards or incentives for good performance. The United States' assistance
to the FSM and the RMI through the first 15 years of the Compact was
distributed according to a negotiated formula that did not allow changes in
the distribution of the funds. Moreover, Interior officials believed that the
provision of assistance with the "full faith and credit" of the United States,
combined with a lack of controls typically available with domestic grant
assistance, severely limited the ability to change funding levels, even in
cases of misuse of funds.
* Well-designed Trust Funds Can Provide a Sustainable Source of Assistance
and Reduce Long-term Aid Dependence.
Successful trust funds in the Pacific can be designed to maintain and
protect the fund value through prudent investment and management.
Independent economic advisers, as required in the Tuvalu Trust Fund
agreement, can also provide guidance to the government on the most
effective use of fund proceeds. If the funds produce sufficient annual
revenue to meet recipient budget needs and the revenues are used wisely,
as has been the case with the Tuvalu Trust Fund, donors may have
opportunities to reduce their annual assistance levels. The Compact
negotiator has discussed similar trust funds for the FSM and the RMI in his
approach for further assistance. According to FSM and RMI officials, the
two countries have adopted their own trust fund agreements and
anticipate using the agreements to invest the funds from future Compact
* Sectorwide Approaches Depend on Recipient Governments' Commitment
