Let the River Flow
From Leading Online Journal Circle of Blue: Lake Ontario Water Level Plan Tests Attitudes Toward Environment
Plan 2014, a proposal to alter lake levels and restore wetlands, places ecosystems at the heart of decisions.
"If it is adopted, Plan 2014 would reflect a seismic shift in thinking about how water should be used and valued that first took root during the environmental movement of the 1960s. In the heart of the 20th century, the architects of major infrastructure projects like the Moses Saunders dam and the St. Lawrence Seaway spared little concern for sedge grasses, waterfowl, and fish. But the 21st century, rife with erratic and severe weather, burgeoning populations, and dwindling resources, is putting immense pressure on regulators and managers to reimagine how humans and natural water systems coexist."
And, we would add, how the benefits of thoughtful, science-based management can be fairly shared.
About Circle of Blue. Founded in 2000 by leading journalists and scientists, Circle of Blue provides relevant, reliable, and actionable on-the-ground information about the world's resource crises.
43rd Anniversary of Clean Water Act
Today was the day the City of Montreal planned to dump 8 billion litres (2.1 billion gallons) of untreated sewage to the St. Lawrence River.
Today we, and tens of thousands of concerned citizens of Montreal, Quebec and the larger River region in both Canada and the U.S., applaud Environment Canada's halting of that plan.
Today is also the 43rd anniversary of the U.S. federal Clean Water Act – landmark legislation which has made great strides in cleaning our Nation's waters, including those we share with Canada.
Today is a day to celebrate our shared success in protecting, preserving and restoring waters like the St. Lawrence, but it is also a day to realize the problem is not just Montreal.
It is every town where untreated sewage makes its way to our rivers and lakes – the Environmental Protection Agency reports 772 cities have combined sewage and stormwater systems.
It is our elected officials who choose political expediency over the hard choice of investing in freshwater infrastructure.
It is any cottage owner who has an inadequate or failing septic system.
It is all of us who value freshwater, but don't demand it and won't accept that the additional expenditure is worth the result – swimmable, drinkable, fishable waters for all. We must all accept responsibility. We must all do better in our own backyards, towns and villages.
Starting today.
2015 River Remembrance Day Non-Gala
River Remembrance Day 2015
no big-name entertainment.
Instead, we invite you to enjoy a quiet evening at home,
wherever that may be this time of year,
reflecting on the natural beauty of the St. Lawrence River, and
we offer you the opportunity to join us in a River Illumination Ceremony.
Light a candle on your dock, deck, lawn, or living room
at nine p.m.
to show your love for the River
and your solidarity with all of us who love it too.
The illumination ceremony is a river tradition first practiced around the turn of the nineteenth century, again on River Appreciation Day in the 70's, and as recently as 2013. As Save The River closes another year of vigorous advocacy on behalf of the St. Lawrence River, we invite you to join us in a celebration of the spirit of the River. The point is to remind us that we are not alone, and that if we act as a group we can protect the place we love. We're here because of the unique way the River touches each one of us. We are joined together by a desire to preserve it so future generations can experience that magic for themselves. Let's celebrate that magic together wherever we are on November 7th.
Click Here for a reply and donation card. We will post your thoughts about the River on our website and on our Facebook page.
Your tax deductible donation will go directly towards saving the River.
We thank you for your help.
"Never doubt that a group of
thoughtful, committed people can
change the world, indeed, it is the
only thing that ever has."
–Margaret Mead
If you leave your candles unattended please place them in a stable glass jar with sand in the bottom.

Ban crude oil transit
Save The River has been fighting to protect the vulnerable and fragile natural and human environment on the St. Lawrence River for its entire 37-year history. Recent efforts by the Seaway corporations to market the River as a highway for crude oil have caused us to increase our focus on the threat these cargoes pose to the River. What we have learned is alarming.
Although refined petroleum products are currently transported on the Great Lakes, crude oil is not. Two very different and very dangerous types of crude are poised to transit the St. Lawrence River. One, Bakken crude, is extremely volatile, even explosive as seen in numerous "bomb train" incidents in recent years. The other, tar sands oil, is heavy enough to sink in freshwater where, with current technology it is unrecoverable.
Shipping on the St. Lawrence River has long been an all-risk and no-reward proposition, and the shipment of crude oil will exponentially increase the risk to our environment, our economy and our communities. Having suffered a major oil spill on the St. Lawrence River, we know all too well the risks involved with even traditional cargoes. As pressure increases to bring these dangerous cargoes to the waters of the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes, we must take steps to protect our River before it's too late.
For these reasons, Save The River enthusiastically supports the Pipeline Improvement and Preventing Spills Act, introduced in the U.S. Senate this week. If passed, it will ban the shipment of crude oil by vessel on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. The authors, Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow (MI) deserve to be commended. Their bill, in addition to banning the shipment of crude oil, requires a comprehensive, top-to-bottom review of hazardous pipelines in the region, compels an assessment of oil spill response and cleanup plans, and requires that ice cover be part of worst-case scenarios in response plans.
Once crude oil is in a ship's hold headed for the St. Lawrence it will be too late. Now is the time to prevent the next catastrophic spill from happening. The best way to do that is to keep cargoes the Coast Guard admits it doesn't know how to handle off the water entirely. The Pipeline Improvement and Preventing Spills Act should be supported by every member of New York's Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River congressional delegation as a way to preserve and protect the St. Lawrence River now and for future generations.

Bag it - A life less plastic
categorieën: Acties, films, natuur en milieu
Director: Suzan Beraza
Duration: 78 min
Country: USA
The idea for this critically acclaimed film began with Jeb, an average American guy (who is admittedly not a "tree hugger") making a pledge to stop using plastic bags. This simple act had huge consequences for him...
Jeb embarked on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world and his journey took several personal twists. Thankfully, he decided to share them with all of us on film.
BAG IT is a film that examines our society's use and abuse of plastic in a thoroughly entertaining way. The film focuses on plastic as it relates to our society's throwaway mentality and our culture of convenience and over consumption. After you watch it, we can promise the world of plastic will never look the same to you again!

Learning Objectives
- Learn to maximize your personal control over these common challenges.
"My relationship with my partner has become strained since I started working on my dissertation. I get home from the lab late at night, and have to go in on most weekends. I am worried that he won't be able to leave his job and follow me if I get a post-doc in a different city. I don't know how much more our relationship can handle all of this."
"I am a single parent with a 3 year old. The daycare closes every night at 7 pm, so sometimes I have to ask others to take over in the lab. My advisor recently mentioned to me that he was starting to doubt my commitment. Apparently putting my child in daycare 12 hours a day is not showing enough commitment."
The Stats: Women and Career/Personal Balance
Can You Relate to These Women's Experiences?
If you also feel like you have to choose between a career in science and a personal life, you are not alone. As you know, graduate school can be all-consuming, and the long work hours don't end once you receive your Ph.D. Everyone (men included) will need to make sacrifices to obtain a successful career in science and engineering. Unfortunately, women report significantly less satisfaction with the departmental support for finding balance in their lives,1and family responsibilities in particular are known to impact women's careers more than men's careers.2
- Female doctoral student parents report spending more time on childcare and household responsibilities than male doctoral student parents.1
- Many faculty expect women to wait until after they graduate to have children.3 Perhaps as a consequence, students who become pregnant are often afraid to share this news with their advisors.4
- Even women without children might face a common stereotype that they are less committed to a career in science because it is assumed they will one day make family responsibilities a priority.5
- If married, women in the science and engineering fields are more likely than men to be married to someone in the same field with an equally demanding career.6 This implies that women are less likely to have a partner who is available to help with non-work related responsibilities.
- Women's career mobility declines once they marry, more so than for men.7
- Many girls and women decide against pursuing a career in STEM due to the perception that this career path does not provide sufficient flexibility for women with families.8
- For women across academic disciplines (but not as much for men), a successful academic career often means having to make difficult choices about family.9
Which of the following best illustrates an issue related to balance for women in STEM programs?
The best answer is A. Answers B and C reflect students' feelings about how they are doing in their respective tasks, and while they do have to do with time, they don't necessarily address expectations of work/life balance specific to women. Answer A speaks to the imbalance that can occur for female students, in feeling that they have to be more productive than their male counterparts in order to be considered for the same opportunities. Unfortunately, this is somewhat common, and it often causes female graduate students to neglect their lives outside of school.
Why Does it Matter?
If you are single without children (and are not planning to have children), you might be wondering how these facts relate to you. Unfortunately, gender stereotypes are imposed on everyone regardless of whether they fit, now or in the future.
Finding a balance between career and personal responsibilities can be a challenge for all graduate students, and CareerWISE is for anyone who is feeling torn between various commitments during graduate school.
Your experience will depend on many different factors in your environment, plus your unique perceptions and coping styles. The information and skill-building content found within the CareerWISE site is designed to help you maximize your personal control over common graduate school challenges.

Finding New Solutions for Inclusive Growth in the U.S.
by Sandy Fernandez
During the Center's multi-city tour, Mastercard engaged with leaders from more than 100 organizations in seven U.S. cities to identify opportunities to advance inclusive growth.
Inequality and exclusion have become entrenched barriers to opportunity and success in the United States, particularly in cities and metropolitan areas. We saw and heard this in vivid detail during the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth's recent multi-city tour, "On the Front Lines of Inclusive Growth." During the tour, we met with more than 100 civic leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and independent citizens across seven cities—Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, New York, Oakland, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. Our goal: to better understand what is limiting inclusive growth in the U.S. and identify opportunities to leverage Mastercard assets to make a difference.
This week, we published the findings from the tour —identifying the key areas where we plan to act—and announced initial philanthropic commitments we're making.
Before we set out on our visits, we knew the United States had reached a unique moment. The nation was gearing up to vote for a new president and the economy was showing renewed vitality. Yet, we also recognized too many hardworking Americans were not benefiting from these economic gains. With this in mind, we wanted to hear from those on the front lines and learn how we can work with them to help reconnect people to opportunity.
Addressing disconnection and access disparities
In each of the seven cities on the tour, we heard a strong desire to engage with the private sector to tackle inequality and the growing wealth gap. The private sector, we believe, is in a unique position to leverage expertise, data, technology and philanthropic investment to lower barriers to opportunity.
At the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, we believe sustainable and equitable growth begins with connecting people to the vital networks that power the modern economy, from financial services to access to jobs to skills training to digital networks. But, the connections to these networks are fraying, and in some places, non-existent.
In Atlanta, for example, we heard how the lack of access to mass transit limits job options for low-income workers. The relationship between urban mobility and economic mobility is a growing issue in cities coast to coast. Local organizations, like Metropolitan Planning Council in Chicago, are starting to leverage data and analytics to better connect people to jobs. Their insights on travel patterns and other information illustrated how data can help shape future transit investment and economic development around existing transit infrastructure.
Data-driven insights to support equitable development and small business growth
Our conversations underscored the need for data driven insights, metrics, and methodologies to better answer key questions related to inclusive economic growth in U.S. metropolitan areas. With the Urban Institute, we are supporting a new project that will combine Mastercard data insights with public data to create new indicators and identify new evidence to support and monitor local inclusive growth efforts. By unlocking the potential of data for social impact, this work could also serve as a model for monitoring equitable development strategies elsewhere.
To truly have an impact, promising projects must expand beyond their start-up phases. The private sector is in a good position to help bring grassroots innovation to scale by using its expertise, networks, and ability to get products into the marketplace quickly.
Grameen America, a national microfinance organization, is working to bring its financial services to scale by standardizing and streamlining its back-end systems, with the support of Citi and Mastercard. Similarly, the Mastercard Center is partnering with Accion, an organization that supports entrepreneurs, to test how timely data on personal and business financial health can strengthen businesses and entrepreneurs.
Supporting the new American worker
Another theme we heard on the tour was how work support systems and infrastructure have not kept pace with the changing nature of work. The economic landscape facing the average American worker is rapidly evolving with the growth of the gig economy and new technologies impacting work. We're supporting PolicyLink to conduct new research on the economic characteristics of the more than 100 million people in the U.S. living at 200 percent of the poverty line or below. The work will result in a detailed profile of the broader workforce trends shaping opportunities as well as barriers to economic mobility for nearly one-third of the U.S. population.
Inequality is a reality of our times and a problem that demands a solution. Only by helping people connect to the vital networks and resources they need to thrive can we build an economy that will grow sustainably and benefit all. The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth is leveraging its assets to help advance inclusive growth solutions. Join us as we take this journey.
August 2018 update: Learn more about the work Mastercard is doing to support gig workers here. To hear more about the types of solutions that can be engineered to serve this population, listen to our Executive Director Parag Mehta on the latest Masters of Scale podcast: How to Make the Star Employees You Need.

The main goal of the Poland-Israel Mission is to promote God who is faithful to His promises, also to Israel to reinforce attitudes of openness, and respect towards Jewish people, and taking action to reconcile our nations of Poland and Israel. We want to inspire Polish people to study the history and culture of the origins of our faith and to bless Israel and Jerusalem.
The activities of Poland-Israel Mission are focused predominantly on organizing celebrations of Jewish – Biblical Feasts (incl.: Passover, Shavuot, Rosh HaShana, Yom Kippur, Feast of Tabernacles and Chanukah), educational seminars on the biblical and modern history of Israel, as well as the history and culture of the Jewish nation.
SeminarsThe purpose of holding lectures is to expand the knowledge among Christians of the Old Testament and understanding of the Judeo-Christian culture. The purpose is also to encourage to bless and support the Jewish people, and build a bridge of friendship between Poland and Israel.
Cooperation with ICEJ in Jerusalem, Israel
Estera Wieja, a representative of the Poland-Israel Mission and the Life and Mission Ministry Poland, has been on staff with the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ) as a writer and reporter for few years now. Her involvement connects and bridges the work of the respective organizations in Poland and Israel.
Feast of Tabernacles celebrations
Every year the Poland-Israel Mission celebrates in the special way the eight days of Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot. It is well attended and supported by the whole community of Life and Mission Church. The Life and Mission Ministry Poland also sends its representatives to the Feast of Tabernacles celebration in Jerusalem, organized by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). The delegation expresses its support for Israel also by taking part in the Jerusalem March. It is our hope and prayer to increase the size of this delegation in the years to come.
Generation 24 conferences
Twice a year a conference for young adults is being organized, which gathers hundreds of young people from all over Poland, as well as neighboring countries. The name of the conference comes from Psalm 24. A group of Israeli young adults joined the conference few times as special guests and speakers. The Generation24 project builds bridges between the young people of Poland and Israel.
Events for the city
Poland-Israel Mission has also organized events for the city of Ustroń, among them: screening of the movie "One Night with the King" - adaptation of the Biblical story of Queen Esther; concerts of Jewish music; workshops and lectures on Israel and Jewish culture; and many more. Each of the events organized by the Poland-Israel Mission gathers many, who want to understand God's faithfulness to His promises and His covenants with Jews and now also with the Church.
Israeli dance workshops

Kael Alford has spent seven years exploring a remote community on an endangered stretch of land on the Louisiana coast. "Bottom of da Boot" is her powerful portrait of life in the tiny towns of Pointe-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles and the hardscrabble lives the inhabitants stubbornly maintain even as their land yields to the Gulf of Mexico.
The High Museum of Art, which commissioned the project as part of its "Picturing the South" program, is exhibiting a selection of her photographs through September 2. They are also the subject of a recently published eponymous book from Atlanta's Fall Line Press.
Alford, a longtime photojournalist best known for pictures she took as an unembedded reporter during the Iraq War, spent years developing this series. Her time in the community tempered her sharp news eye. Instead of the headline-quality photographs typical of her work, these are subtler and require a longer involvement. She worked hard to build relationships with the families, a process aided by personal ties: this was her maternal family's ancestral home until her great-grandmother eloped and moved away.
The photographer's emotional connection and dedication show. In contrast to the dispassionate gaze of the portraits in bodies of work such as Alec Soth's "Sleeping by the Mississippi," "NIAGARA" or any of the clones his style has spawned in recent years, Alford's portraits, landscapes and interiors are heartfelt. There is a yearning that comes out in her subjects' expressions, the knickknacks placed around their homes and the depiction of the water that creeps ever forward.
How these images affect the viewer, however, may depend on their context.
Viewing "Picturing New York" is like walking through a textbook on street photography: all the masters, all the techniques, all the trials are there on the wall. It's as if the museum intentionally makes the visitor take a history lesson before entering the world of the contemporary. As a viewer already engaged with photography, this felt to me like a slight. But given that the High serves a general audience, perhaps it makes sense.
Alford's secluded space in the back corner serves her well. Painted a cloudy gray, it echoes the sense of being on the edge of the world captured in "House on eroding land near Leeville, March 2007."
Walk into the gallery at the right time and you'll hear the rumbling of a shrimp trawler in a video by Alford, which captured a sunrise shrimping trip. A map of the Louisiana coast and a bleak text about the degradation of its land set the context. The map, unfortunately, is somewhat hard to read and interpret, while the text gives only a small amount of information.
Alford's photographs do little to reassure us that these people will be all right. But they emphasize their tenacity in battling the disappearance of land and culture.
Grids of pictures merge a complicated story into an easily understood visual narrative. One shows a house floating in the ocean, an orange boom failing to hold back oil from the 2010 Gulf spill, a small two-man fishing boat in a vast waterscape and three portraits that serve as a snapshot of life on this coast.
The book "Bottom of da Boot" is a first-time venture for the artist and Fall Line Press. Although Alford has been published in numerous magazines and newspapers and was one of four featured photographers in "Unembedded," this is her first solo book. Fall Line has published smaller bodies of work in its Free Fall magazine, but it has never before undertaken a project of this scope and magnitude.
Through a highly collaborative process and by learning from previous efforts, they have produced a magnificent book. It follows a classic documentary photobook format — introduction, essay, photos — but adds clever touches. The mixture of full-bleed images, images with borders and two-page spreads helps break up the flow of images.
Particularly inventive is the two-page image of Island Road between the chapters on Isle de Jean Charles and Pointe-aux-Chenes, a placement that mimics how the road connects the two communities.
Brett Abbott, the High's curator of photography, contributed the preface, which speaks to the importance of long-term documentary projects, especially in a time of more voyeuristic documentary photographs (think iPhone). Alford's introduction, one of the book's highlights, discusses her personal relationship to her subjects and offers information not apparent in the photographs.
Each presentation has its advantages. The exhibit offers punch, clarity and accessibility to a wider audience than the book. Also, having this work in the High's permanent collection means that it will have a public life even when the book is out of print. On the other hand, a story as complex and intricate as "Bottom of da Boot" seems more suited to a book, which can treat the work in a more detailed and comprehensive way. It also affords more intimacy with the material and ease of repeated viewing.
The ability to revisit these images over time brings smaller details to light. For instance, I started noticing how muddy everything appeared and wondered why. I found the answer in "Alton Verdin and his house after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, Pointe-aux-Chenes, September 2008." Everything is muddy because the land is sinking. Although this fact is stated in texts and image, the concept of losing one's house in this way was so unfathomable that it did not hit home until constant repetition of the imagery focused my attention on the mud.
This work excels in both presentations. Sometimes, only a photograph can make the unbelievable seem true. Alford's ability to capture it while at the same time remaining sensitive to the people of this land is an amazing accomplishment.

Released: 26/06/2017
Format: Paperback
Gary Skyner's autobiography, You Can't, You Won't: A Life of Unarmed Combat, provides an honest, detailed account of his life as a thalidomide child. Gary was born severely disabled in 1959 after his mother was prescribed the thalidomide drug during pregnancy. Originally devised in 1957 by a German pharmaceutical company as a free sedative designed to combat morning sickness, thalidomide was first licensed in the UK?in 1958. However, it became apparent that there was a surge in rare birth defects after pregnant women had been prescribed the drug. As one of the earliest in the UK to be born damaged by the deadly drug, Gary's life was destined to be difficult and challenging as it impaired his physical development. Expected not to live, let alone to achieve much, Gary is living proof that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you believe you can. Born with foreshortened arms in the Toxteth area of 1950's Liverpool, Gary explores how his parents' marital breakdown and his difficult relationship with his father were all caused, in Gary's eyes, by the strains of raising a disabled child. In addition to his troubles at home, Gary's tears turned to anger as he became aware of the government's reluctance to make provision for thalidomide victims, leading him to become active in campaigns in order to shame them into proper negotiation. You Can't, You Won't also explores how Gary's dreams came crashing down on him due to his limitations as a thalidomide child. As a lifelong Liverpool FC supporter, he always wanted to be a star player, but he soon realised he had to accept his limitations. Working first as a telephone operator, Gary later became a welder, a housing officer and a trained paralegal. Despite his difficult life, You Can't, You Won't also explores the happier times, including having two daughters and his comic and motivational speaker career. There has never been a dull moment and this autobiography explores his belief that life should be spiced with jokes and laughter. Written with conviction and humour, You Can't, You Won't is a story of courage and triumph that will appeal to those who enjoy memoirs, but also to those interested in the background of thalidomide births.

SOURCE: Diamante Minerals
October 20, 2014 16:05 ET
BOCA ROTAN, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2014) - Diamante Minerals (OTCBB: DIMN), a natural resources company focused on the diamond sector, today announced that Chad Ulansky has been named Chief Executive Officer and also was elected to the company's Board of Directors.
A mineral exploration industry veteran with more than two decades of relevant experience, Mr. Ulansky, 40, has led exploration programs in more than 15 countries on four continents, with a particular focus on diamonds. He also currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Cantex Mine Development Corp., Metalex Ventures Ltd. and Northern Uranium Corp., positions he has held since 2005, 2006 and 2014, respectively. All three companies are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
As a geologist by formal training, Mr. Ulansky began his career more than 20 years ago at Dia Met Minerals Ltd., on a project which yielded the Ekati Diamond Mine. He continued working for Dia Met until it was purchased by BHP in 2001, when he joined Cantex and Metalex, initially managing the companies' global exploration activities. In addition to leading successful programs for Cantex's metal discoveries in Yemen, he oversaw the discovery and advanced exploration of Metalex's potential U2 kimberlite in northern Ontario, Canada.
Mr. Ulansky also has served as a director of several other mineral exploration companies, including Valley High Ventures Ltd, Consolidated AGX Resources Ltd. and Arian Resources Corp.
After completing a BSc degree at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, he completed a second BSc and an Honors degree at the University of Cape Town in South Africa under the tutelage of renowned diamond geologist Dr. John Gurney.
At Diamante, Mr. Ulansky succeeds Robert Faber, who left the company to pursue other interests.

Diamante Minerals, with no current operations, intends to focus on the mining business. The company currently is negotiating terms to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Batovi Diamond Project, located to the north of Paranatinga in Mato Grosso, Brazil, but provides no assurance that such negotiation will be successful.

Hello again, Bryan here.
Yes I know you'd rather it was Helen, and for the record any sane person would prefer speaking to Helen lol. But since I do most of the site reports and by most I mean all of the site reports, it only makes sense for me to write this blog.
A site report is where the lead photographer for your wedding (me) goes to see your wedding and reception sites and writes out a report making recommendations for how to best utilize the site. And we do them for a couple of reasons:
Now in some cases a site report may not be needed. If we've been to your venue in the past few months we'll share the existing site report with you. And we just give our couples access to every site report we have so that you can use them as a resource if you are still settling on a venue. Below is an example site report so you get an idea of what they are like.

Parent Involvement
The RARE Program is built on the premise that one-on-one coaching or mentoring is the best way to ensure that children benefit from technology tools for learning. Parents can play a remarkable role in spending time with their kids, even if its 20 minutes a day, in guiding the child's use of the internet, learning software, or educational video.
When a parent makes sense of the material for the child, learning is more effective. In terms of relevance, parents can ensure that they take the learning concepts form the educational tools and translate those into the child's environment for them to understand and appreciate the meaning of their world.
The RARE Learning, Inc. Program ensures that parents that enroll their children into the program receive progress reports periodically to track their child's learning. Whether as an Early Learners' Day Out Program, or as a Summer Program, the program offers communication of the child's weekly and monthly accomplishment by discipline areas. The progress report will measure the child against his or her own past achievements.
As a parent, you may write to us at RARE Learning, Inc. (email@example.com) to gather more information about our program and how to implement the program for your child at home.
To Learn more, please contact us

{ I love cleaning }
On a better note, my cousin, Colby, and her little fam just got in last night from Hong Kong. I think the last time I saw them was before I got married before either of us had kids. Last night we went to Grama's house to go see them. I think the twins, Indy and Jet, think their cousin Safi Boy is CUH-razy! Indy tried hugging him but he was like the Tazmanian Devil so she couldn't even get close enough and Jet and him fought over one of those huge exercising balls. (Not a good first impression Baby!) It was so good seeing them again and finally meeting my niece and nephew. Looking forward to the next week with them. Hopefully my son will be better mannered next time...crazy tamasi'i!

Return to Peleliu
55th Anniversary
by Richard Bruce Watkins, Capt. USMCR RET
Peleliu - Chapter from "Brothers in Battle"
Order "Brothers in Battle"
Articles about Bruce Watkins
1998 Reunion
Return to Peleliu
Letters Home
A Tribute to Peleliu Vets
In 1999 Bruce Watkins returned to Peleliu for the 55th Anniversary of that Battle. Here is his account of that visit.
On September 11, 1999, I was able to realize a cherished dream of returning to Peleliu along with son Dave. This was inspired and made possible by a young man of 32, Eric Mailander, considered to be the leading authority on that island battle site. Eric had been a featured speaker on Peleliu at a reunion of the 2nd Bn, 1st Marines in 1998, and had suggested the trip to Peleliu on the 55th Anniversary of that Battle in September of 1999.
Meeting us there was Major Joe Gayle, my E Co. Commander, with his three sons, and Ray Fournier, an engineer veteran of that battle. We were joined by Karl Bielan and Sean Prizeman, Marine veterans of Viet Nam, and Donal Murphy, historian. Don Waldera, whose father was killed there with the 81st Army Division, rounded out what we came to call the "Dirty Dozen."
We met in Koror, Capital of the Republic of Palau, and the next morning traveled by boat some twenty miles to Peleliu. On our way to Peleliu we stopped at Rock Island and naturalist Ron Leidich took us to the highest point, about 400 feet to a Japanese lighthouse and radar tower. There were ruins of a large Japanese Headquarters and caves with large calibre guns. These were never used as all the fighting took place on Peleliu, Anguar, and Negesebus.
From there the boat took us to the main landing on Peleliu. It is necessary to come in on at least half-tide in order to get through the surrounding reef.
For us three veterans of that battle, the approach to Peleliu was a landmark occasion. In the distance we could see White Beach Two where we had landed 55 years ago. The tremendous growth of foliage in that time had made a vast change. The hills were dimly defined and no caves were evident, although there were several hundred. We could understand how our intelligence prior to invasion had been misled. On D-Day, Naval shelling had reduced our target to 90% bare coral rock. We prepared for some meticulous searching for landmarks.
Prior to our coming, Eric had been approached by a Japanese delegation led by Mrs. Ieoanami, the granddaughter of war time premier Hideki Tojo. We had some mild misgivings about meeting our former enemies but went forward with an optimistic attitude in the hopes that things would work out for the best.
Upon landing on Peleliu we proceeded about a mile to the Story Board Resort, a divers complex with six cabins on Amber Beach. Each day we started with breakfast at 0700, donned our gear and headed out through the jungle. For noon meals they made Barracuda and cheese sandwiches which we took with us on our hikes. The temperature reached over 100 degrees every day and when we returned about 1900 we were soaked with perspiration. Showers, suppers of fish and rice plus local fruit, and long discussions on the beach followed.
Having settled in, we left there by van to White Beach One where K Co landed on a point at the extreme left of the Division. It was immediately apparent that what had been an island of mostly bare coral rock blasted by naval guns and bombs, was now completely overgrown with trees and vines. There was a large concrete bunker that housed a 75-mm gun that swept the landing beach. The paint was covered with bits of Military Ordnance, grim testimony to K Co.'s ordeal.
On Sunday we went to White Beach II where our Second Battalion had landed. We went through a huge concrete bunker on the right flank. This scene was pictured in "Old Breed" with Marines attacking on D-Day. Former F Co platoon leader, Jim Hunter, remembered this well and wanted to be sure we checked it out. It was the first tough obstacle met by F Co.
From there Eric lead us to a Japanese tank that he thought might be the one stopped by my anti-tank grenade on D Day afternoon. It was punctured near the forward tread, which made sense, and it had blown up from within in the same way. As it had been moved from its original position it was impossible to be certain. We, of course, would like to think it was the same one.
We then visited several amphibious tractor wrecks (LVT and LUTA) and ended up at the Marine Memorial on Bloody Nose Ridge. We found a nearby cave with mortar shells and grenades and a suspicious looking round metal object protruding below the cave. We decided to check back later as dark was upon us.
We retraced E Co's D+3 and climbed Hill 210 through a saddle we remembered well. Here we found the spot where Joe had been shot through the neck as he led us up the hill. To our right we located a small cave where a lone sabre-waving Japanese officer had charged down on PFC Darden to end up with the point of his sabre at the startled Marine's feet. Darden had put a whole clip of his M1 through him.
On the far-left flank there was a large Japanese gun mount (gun missing). Eric told us this had been installed just before D-Day and was never fired due to the lack of delivered ammunition -- a typical military snafu.
We came down from 210 to retrace the attack of my 1st Platoon up adjacent Hill 200 on the afternoon of D+3. We visited the cave where Eric had found a heavy machine gun tripod. This was where I had encountered two dead soldiers droped over their gun as we charged up. Next we came to the concrete bunker that had been the Japanese Observation Post during our landing.
Following along we reached the pinnacle where Sgt. John Kincaid and I had spent a desperate night defending E Co's left flank. Some of the loose rocks we had stacked up for protection were still there, including the one where I had stashed my 45 pistol. Behind us was the hollow where we had stored grenades and ammunition. In 1997 Eric had found a live U.S. grenade there but it had since fallen several feet down still intact. We traced the naturally stepped side of the pinnacle that the Japanese had climbed to get at us. With the noise of battle and the dark we were not aware of them until they were almost upon us.
The eastern slope was near perpendicular and at its foot was a large cave, mostly filled in (Sea Bee bulldozer?). My son Dave crawled in to find an almost complete skeleton. We assumed that the other Japanese killed that night had been buried there.
Underneath the hill we entered the Japanese Headquarters cave which went some 100 feet completely through the hill. Their headquarters were moved the night of our battle.
What can one say after visiting this spot where we fought so hard 55 years ago? I only wished Sgt. Kincaid could have been with us. He died last April after a long illness. We had talked together several times about this experience and marveled at our survival.
Later we trekked through Death Valley to Col. Nakagawa's last headquarters where he finally committed suicide. There was a large calibre howitzer still mounted in another cave.
On the way we came across a U.S. 30 calibre water-cooled machine gun still mounted on its tripod ready to fire. It was surprisingly well preserved considering 55 years of exposure to weather.
The next morning we met the Japanese delegation that had previously contacted Eric. There were approximately forty Japanese, including several women. We took them inland from Bloody Nose Ridge to seldom visited caves containing skeletal remains. There were no complete skeletons, but all types of skulls, ribs, and femurs scattered about. We understood they planned to cremate these. Some of the Japanese were elderly but managed the tangled jungle quite well. With considerable ceremony, the scattered bones were collected in colorful blankets. They seemed most grateful for our assistance and all carried small American flags.
The governor of Peleliu was upset because he thought the Japanese had not received official permission, but this was cleared up. There is a ban on removing any military ordnance from Peleliu.
On another day we visited White Beach One on the extreme left of the 1st Regiment's landing. This was a point of land from which the Japanese had enfiladed our landing with heavy calibre guns in concrete bunkers. This point is well-known as the spot where Capt. Hunt's K Co. had a horrendous battle. All over this area was the residue of that fight, grim testimony as to its intensity.
On Tuesday we started the day with a magnificent sunrise on our beach. As we began our trek we visited the spot (a well-concealed cave) where the last 16 Japanese survivors held out until 1946. There were also 18 Korean laborers.
Joe Gayle and I had told Eric we wanted to pinpoint E Co's position on D-Day. We both remembered a 10 foot depression at the southeast corner of the airfield. Our Company had knocked out two Japanese tanks there. This was no longer easily defined as much of it was covered with jungle. So we all went to White Beach Two and spread out on a compass bearing through very dense jungle growth. There was no depression, but Eric, with his experienced eye, found one of the tanks buried on its side in the right location. With a little digging we had a clear picture of the tank in profile. Rubber parts by the bogie wheels appeared to have been scorched and we believed this is the one that PFC Brennan of my platoon stopped with his flame-thrower. It had been halted in a swampy hollow about 10 feet below the airfield and we assume that the Sea Bees had leveled the depression and buried it in the process. It was very special for us to find it defining the location of E Co on the first night.
An interesting side trip was made to the 'Thousand Man Cave' where Japanese miners had tunneled out a hill with six different entrances. This was chiefly living quarters and there were relics everywhere: mess gear, carts, grenades, and hundreds of Saki battles. We surmised that, facing defeat, they had had a final party. This cave and many others harbored 6" spiders, cave crickets, toads, and scorpions. At one point we were attacked by hundreds of bats.
On September 15th, being the 55th Anniversary of our landing, there was much going on.
At 9:00 o'clock we went to Bloody Nose Ridge where the Japanese held a ceremony honoring our dead. They passed out small American flags to everyone and placed flowers on the 1st Division Memorial. Their interpreter gave a speech ending it by saying, "If we had to lose the battle we're were glad it was to the Marines, the world's greatest fighters."
From here we went, at 11:00 o'clock, to a Japanese service at the base of Hill 100 where they have a monument and Shinto Shrine. This was to honor their dead. We were asked to sit in the front row and later participated by laying friendship tokens , provided by the Japanese, on their altar. They also passed out small Japanese flags. It was distinctly odd for Marines to be sitting at a Shinto Memorial Service holding Japanese flags.
We then traveled to Purple Beach, which is now a recreation spot for the island with tables, benches, and shelters. It was here that the 1st Marines embarked when we left Peleliu after the battle. It was a really beautiful spot and here we met with some 20 other veterans; authors Wilbur Jones and Col. Joe Alexander; and Henry Sledge, son of author Eugene Sledge. We were reunited with Lu Chesnut, a squad leader from our 3rd platoon.
A delegation of Marines in cammies was there from Okinawa for the official Marine Corps celebration of the 55th Anniversary and we met many of them. The service was held at 1:30 on Bloody Nose Ridge complete with color guard and band. The Japanese also attended. The governor of Peleliu and Col. Alexander made speeches. A former 1st Division chaplain gave an invocation. This was also a special time.
After the ceremony, we went to another part of Hill 210 where barricades of rock filled 50-gallon drums had been used to protect the entrance of several caves. On the north side, Eric took us to an overturned Sherman Tank. He had located the surviving members of its crew who had had a plaque made for it. However, the Governor had not yet allowed it to be installed. In this area we passed through several small plots of marijuana, which were very well hidden.
The next day, accompanied by Col. Alexander and Henry Sledge, we traveled the short distance to Negesebus Island off the northern tip of Peleliu. Henry's father had sketched (in his book) a concrete bunker that they had taken after a sharp fight in which he was almost killed. We found it, exactly like the sketch, and this was a very nice closure for his family.
There was a killer clam shell there about 2 feet in diameter that must have weighed 50 pounds. I also discovered a skull in one bunker that I at first thought was human. However, our resident naturalist Ron said it was that of a 6 foot long fish called a Du Gong. No doubt the Japanese had eaten it.
Later we visited the ruins of the Japanese headquarters building. This was badly damaged by shellfire and soil had formed on the second story roof with small trees growing from it. Interesting were the Japanese toilets that we remembered from China – porcelain trenches in the floor. When the Japanese abandoned this building it became the First Division Headquarters and later that of the 81st Army Division.
The remains of an American Quonset hut was nearby and Ray Fournier pointed out the battered remains of a Japanese truck he had tried to salvage when he was a Marine Engineer. Ray is a guide at the famous Antietam Battlefield and has retrieved many pictures of Peleliu for us from the National Archives in Washington.
Near Hill 100 we visited the remains of the 'Lady Luck' Amtrac (LVTA) which Eric had discovered earlier. There was much military debris scattered about, both U.S. and Japanese, at the site of her last stand. Strangely enough, there was a stock of human bones topped by two rusted Garand rifles adjacent to it.
Later we stopped back at Hill 300 and dug out the suspicious metal ring. This proved to be a six-foot Japanese 150-mm mortar. Apparently it had been buried when Marines blasted the cave. This was a new find and the first of its kind.
Late that evening we had a special event. The night before Don Waldera had told us how his father had been killed when Don was only two. From information he had gathered from his father's comrades, Eric was able to pinpoint the small ravine leading to a Japanese Bunker on Hill 145. We waited while Don proceeded alone into this site. Returning he told us he had found an M1 Rifle and U.S. helmet and felt certain that this was the spot. We told him it was an honor to be with him and share this moment of closure.
On our final day our Peleliu native host and guide, Godwin Sadao, took us diving off the reefs. As the Palaus are world-famous for this, we had a great treat. The water was extremely clear and we could see beautiful coral formations 40 feet down. Many schools of bright colored fish were there along with the occasional shark. Dave went down 90 feet with scuba gear and saw turtles, tuna, and large sharks. We then made our last Peleliu landing and packed up to leave.
It was with considerable feeling that we said goodbye to Eric, Ray, Karl and Godwin. We agreed that this had been the experience of a lifetime.
I have never met with a more congenial group than this one. It seemed that we were instant good friends. For Joe, former E Co. C.O., and I, his Platoon Leader, visiting the spots where we had actually fought was tremendously rewarding. Peleliu was so untouched by time it was almost surrealistic. Eric Mailander was a superb leader.
Old Comrades
Our first relations with the Japanese, although tentative, eventually gave us a warm feeling of closure. Joe particularly wondered how he would handle this. Terribly wounded, his future in doubt, he had spent many days aboard a hospital ship with taps playing every day as more Marines were buried at sea. An hour spent in solitary reflection on the beach allowed him to end his bitter feelings. As for me, I had been personally responsible for the deaths of so many Japanese, I felt I owed them the hand of friendship.
This wonderful experience showed us once again what it means to be a Marine. Even as 55 years before, we treasured each other's friendship and looked out for each other. Age makes no difference when Marines gather, and we realized once again what the harsh training, discipline and patriotism did to make victory possible: Courage, Honor, and Commitment!
Semper Fidelis,
R. Bruce WatkinsCapt., USMCR Ret.

Africans should be the one to define their destiny and responsibility. We should not let others define our destiny or future because they will take us where they wanted us to be not where we wanted to be. We are where we are now simply because we accepted beautifully to be defined by others and we waited for economic prosperity to be delivered for us; they kidnapped our mindset now they are enjoying over our indigenous resources the result you see today. If we stand tall it is because we stand on the shoulders of many ancestors; if the future doesn't come toward you, you have to go fetch it. Africans cannot forge a bright future we want and deserve rather we have to strive for it. Africana needs strong determination instead of satisfaction towards bad economic statistics we own. Africa owns everything we need as the tool to make transformation of our resource blessed continent and become a place where citizens feel comfortable living and proud of.
How can you be a" good" but failed to fix the most pressing challenges of your nation? We own vast of natural resources like diamonds, salt, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum even woods and sweet tropical fruits. Bulky of these natural resources are undiscovered or barely harnessed. Many dynamic groups are enjoying on natural resources and exploiting it harshly.
The vast of rare raw materials found only in Africa are putting Africans under heavy pressure and tensions ending into wars and slow development. Despite vast of these resources, claims suggest many western nations like United state, France, Canada, as well as China often exploits African resources nowadays, causing most of money from our natural resources to benefit west and East Asia aggravating poverty in Africa further example Sudan and Nigeria are main oil producers but China own about 40% of Sudan's oil production. Hence oil output earthquake may account in near future to most of African countries. Just see what is happening now, despite resources richness we had bulk of Africa people live as if they were citizens of desert. No running water, sanitation and electricity are a reminder that the past continues to haunt the present.
Africa needs leaders who can overcome triple challenge of defining a clear vision, generating buy-in and developing the policies and programmes to turn the vision into results on the Africa ground. A leader who can make transformation of our abundance natural resources and a better quality of life to everyone of its people making sure that citizens are rescued from unnecessary frustrations, hopelessness and poverty, neither dying of preventable disease nor running to the west.

In this millennial age, people tend to move in the direction of their thoughts. Society demands for labor and we see life as something that is tough. We perceive it hard that we overlook who we are; we fail to recall those people we cherish and appreciate them until it is too late. We even forget that we have something inside of us that keeps us living and should be taken care of. The oxygen transmitter, fluid of life, essential as much as the heart, substantial as much as the brain, and none could stanch its unending flow – our BLOOD.
Blood is an important fluid which is necessary in delivering oxygen all throughout our body. It extracts and transports metabolic wastes such as nitrogen compound, H2O, and carbon dioxide. Blood deficiency is fatal to humans. It may cause you to look pale, blur your vision, and dizziness. You may even get chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and headache. If these irregularities happen, you are experiencing ANEMIA!
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), anemia is a condition that happens when there is a deficiency of Red Blood Cells (RBC) in the body. The blood is in the shade of red due to the abundance of RBC in it. The red pigment cell carries oxygen all around the body as the heart pumps a beat. The lesser the RBC in the blood, the lesser the transporter of oxygen, and this will result to a pale and yellowish skin, fatigue, cold hands and feet, headache, and irregular heartbeat which are the symptoms of anemia.

My team used Salsa for a 1-year campaign to raise money to build a home in Nepal for trafficking victims. We successfully raised $467,000 in 10 months! Hands down, we COULD NOT have done it without Salsa. Because it had everything in one (emails, analytics, segmenting, Peer 2 Peer campaigns, donation pages, event pages, and much more) it was much easier to keep track of everything we needed to keep track of.

It's the four-time defending champion against a team that is looking make some Mercer County Tournament history of its own.
The last four years the MCT has been all about Hun as the top-seeded Raiders (11-8-2) are hoping to make it five straight titles.
Standing in their way is No. 5 Paul VI (9-2-1), which is enjoying its best season since joining the Colonial Valley Conference in the 2011-12 season.
"This team is ready to go," said the Eagles first-year coach Nick Miller. "They want to make a statement this year and what better opportunity than taking down the No. 1 seed in the MCT."
Hun is coming off a very impressive win over St. Augustine (6-2) and every year has proven to be able to handle the challenge and the pressure on the tourney.
"The St. Augustine game was about genuinely caring about the outcome, that's when we're at our best," said Hun coach Ian McNally. "When the game matters to the group they play great and the key for us against Paul VI will be to get into that mindset."
Both teams advanced with great defensive performances as Hun blanked Pennington, 9-0, and the Eagles shut out Hopewell Valley, 5-0.
"We have to get the legs moving right off the first face-off and play our game," said Miller. "If we do that with 100% commitment we usually find ourselves being successful."
Hun is led by one of the premier goal scorers in the region in Kyle Mandleur with 40 goals and 19 assists, the 40 goals are the second highest in the state this season.
Mandleur has nine goals and four assists in his last six games.
Freshman and Notre Dame commit, Matt Argentina has 13 goals and 27 assists, Eddie Evaldi, the Most Valuable Player in the 2017 MCT chimes in with 3 and 19.
"Not knowing much about Paul VI is great," said McNally. "A lot of these games are won or lost in the kids heads before we even start because they are too familiar with the other side. But, based on their scores and statement win last week they are a much-improved program."
The Eagles, who won the Valley Division outright for the first time, are led by Cameron Chandler with 11 goals and the same number assists, Dalton Foster chips in with six goals and nine assists and Caroline Goffredo, one of the best female players in the CVC in recent memory, has three goals and 10 assists.
'I haven't sensed any pressure to win," said McNally. "I think playing that final game on a Friday night with a great atmosphere of the crowd at a pretty cool rink is all a big draw to the players. So, really more of a desire to get the chance to play in that again, so there's no pressure, just desire."

Itching/Burning/Numbness Vein Irritations in Lima, OH
The Vein Care Center's Dr. Manu B. Aggarwal is a board-certified and aesthetic-laser-certified family physician specializing in vein disease. The Vein Care Center has been providing quality care for residents in Lima and Celina, OH, as well as the greater Auglaize County area for more than a decade. Dr. Aggarwal offers treatment for the itching, burning and numbness associated with varicose veins and other venous conditions.
What Is Venous Eczema?
Venous eczema (or varicose eczema), characterized by itching, burning and numbness of the skin of the lower legs, is a chronic skin condition that is common in people who suffer from varicose or spider veins. It often causes dry skin and a rash (varying in color from red, reddish, and mottled brown), and it may appear even when no spider or varicose veins are visible. In addition to the itching, burning and sensation of numbness, patients may experience warmth or throbbing in the affected area.
The skin damage caused by venous eczema can raise the risk of a patient developing skin ulcers.
What Causes Itching, Burning and Numbness?
Increased pressure in the leg veins caused by weakened valves can cause patients to develop venous eczema. When the valves stop functioning properly, blood flows back toward the foot, away from the heart, and it pools in the lower extremities. The resulting buildup of pressure can cause fluid to leak into surrounding tissue. It's believed that the immune system's response to this fluid may cause venous eczema.
Who Is at Risk for Venous Eczema?
While anyone with vein disease can develop venous eczema, there are certain factors that make it more likely in some patients than in others. You are more likely to develop venous eczema if:
- You are a woman
- You are obese
- You are pregnant
- You are immobile for an extended period of time
- You have previously had deep vein thrombosis
- Increasing age
What Is the Treatment for Venous Eczema?
At your initial appointment at the Vein Care Center, Dr. Aggarwal will examine you and review your medical history. If an underlying vein disease is diagnosed, Dr. Aggarwal will recommend an appropriate treatment plan to treat your vein disease. Please see our Vein Treatments page to learn more about the vein treatment options available at the Vein Care Center.
For the treatment of your venous eczema, Dr. Aggarwal will prescribe treatment that will relieve your symptoms of itching, burning and numbness. These may include:
- Moisturizers
- Topical corticosteroids
- Compression stockings
If you are experiencing itching, burning or numbness, don't assume it's simply the result of a dermatological condition. You may have an underlying vein condition that requires treatment — and when it comes to treating vein disease, there's no better place than the Vein Care Center. Board-certified and aesthetic-laser-certified family physician Dr. Manu B. Aggarwal, MHSA, MD, has been treating patients in Lima, Celina and the surrounding areas of Auglaize County, OH, for over five year.
