Globe-Circling Lifeboat Calls Here
Twenty-five thousand miles of barren wave-swept horizons hold no fears for
E. W. Lamberti, 37, who sailed his five-ton converted lifeboat the "Kroja" into
Oranjestad harbor May 30 on one of the early stages of a round-the-world
cruise. The "early stage" is in the distance to be covered, not in time consumed,
since he started out from Holland on his globe-circling jaunt almost three years
ago. He plans on steadier progress from now on, though, and hopes to reach
Holland by August of 1950.
Traveling with Lamberti is Peter
Rawlins, 19, who joined the cruise in
Trinidad. After a week at Aruba they UTO
started for Panama, and from there
will head across the Pacific to the Co-
cos and Galapagos islands, to Tahiti, AT
and on to Australia, which they hope
to reach by November. From there they -
E. W. Lamberti of Holland is shown at the
tiller of his globe-circling lifeboat.

berti, Holandes di 35 anja di edad na ti-
mon di su barco di bela, cu cual e ta pa-
sando rond mundo.
will head for India, the Suez Canal,
through the Mediterranean and back to
Holland. Lamberti believes he is the
first Hollander to sail round the world,
while young Rawlins is dead certain he
is the first Trinidadian to try it.
While Lamberti has been on the way
since September 1946, his actual sailing
time Amsterdam-Aruba is only 39 days.
He originally sailed the boat to England
to fit it outfor the trip. In the process
he acquired an English wife. She ac-
companied him as far as Portugal, but
then, because of her illness, he had to
take her back to England.
He set out across the Atlantic with
two men as crew, but by the time they
reached Trinidad the crew had changed
its mind about wanting to see the world,
and left him. He spent the next 11
months in Trinidad, unable to go on
alone, and finally became so discoura-
ged that he advertised the boat for
sale. It was the For Sale ad that
brought in Peter Rawlins, who had just
graduated from college in Port of
Spain, as crew member. Rawlins' only
nautical experience is the handling of
"Snipe" class sailboats as a member of
Trinidad's yacht club.
The two sailed from Trinidad to Cu-
ragao in five days, where crew trouble
again arose, this time when a cat that
had come aboard in Gibraltar jumped
ship. Their present kitten mascot was
picked up in Curacao.
Lamberti has a brother in Curagao, a
skipper on a Shell tanker, whom he had
not seen for 14 years. A tanker was
leaving the harbor there as the "Kroja"
sailed in, and after going ashore Lam-
berti learned that his brother was on
that ship. However they were reunited
several days later, when the tanker re-
turned from Lake Maracaibo.
The "Kroja" seems as well fitted-out
for ocean crossings as any boat so small

Illustrated Lago
Booklet To Be
Distributed Soon
"This Is Lago," a publication that it
is believed will be of interest to all
employees in the refinery and the Lake
Fleet, will be distributed next month.
The booklet, published to commemo-
rate the refinery's twentieth year, gives
a broad picture of Lago: its people, its
operations, and its history since the
Company selected Aruba as a crude oil
transshipping point in 1924. Large
pictures illustrate many phases of refi-
nery and marine activities and depict
Lagoites at work and at play. Several
show how Lago looked as early as 1927.
Since so many Lagoites come from
points away from Aruba, employees
will receive two copies of the booklet.
They will be able to keep one for a per-
manent record and at the same time
send one to their families who may be
interested in what is next best to a
first-hand look at us.
The booklet is 9 x 12 inches in size,
has 34 pages, and has over 50 photo-
graphs. Distribution will be through
departments during July.

Kyosek, Brown Named to
OAew Jobs in Safety Dept.
E. J. Kulisek and R. D. Brown were
recently named to new positions in the
Safety Division. Mr. Kulisek was assign-
ed to the position of assistant division
head of the Safe-
ty Division, while
Mr. Brown was
named head sa-
fety inspector.
Mr. Brown's du-
ties will include
the coordination
of the work of
the safety inspec-
tors in the refi-
nery and ship-
yard as well as
the activities at
the safety field E. J. Kulisek
Mr. Kulisek came to Aruba in Novem-
ber 1945. He was first employed as a
technical assistant in M & C until his
assignment to the Safety Division in
September 1947.
Mr. Brown was with Lago from Sep-
tember 1929 to May 1931, and re-joined
the Company in February 1933 as a
stillman helper in Process Cracking. In
1937 he became an operator gas tester
in the Safety Division, and has been
with the Safety Divison since.
Erwin Murray Richardson, operator
at the Gas Plant, died June 2 in New
Orleans, Louisiana. He was 51.
An employee for 15 years, Mr. Ri-
chardson is survived by his wife.

Movement of Allied trucks from Ber-
lin was suddenly stopped by the Rus-
sians late last week, causing American
authorities to fear that the Soviets in-
tended to reimpose the blockade of the
city in full force. A strike of West Ber-
lin railroad workers had already para-
lyzed rail traffic. German trucks with
normal travel documents were passed as
usual, with the Russians halting only
Allied vehicles.
The Russians had lifted their blockade
on May 12, and the foreign ministers of
the Big Four were last week meeting in
Paris in an effort to at least reach a
temporary truce among the East and
West in Europe.
About 82 per cent of the citizens of
Trieste took part in the first free elec-
tions there since 1922, with the results
showing that the city wanted to be
reunited with Italy and that it felt
politically and spiritually allied to the
Western democracies rather than to the
East. In the election to provide the city
with a city administration, pro-Italian
candidates won forty of the sixty city
council seats. The six pro-Italian parties
received 106,973 votes, to 61,136 for
parties wanting to keep Trieste indep-
endent or place it under Jugoslavia.
One of the U.S.'s leading atomic ex-
perts and wartime boss of the Los
Alamos, New Mexico project last week
endorsed the job being done by the
Atomic Energy Commission in the U.S.
Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer told the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy that the Commission
had a difficult job at hand, but that it
was putting through a program "far
better than I thought it could be." Dr.
Oppenheimer appeared before the group
to refute charges that David E. Lilien-
thal, chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, was guilty of "incredible
mismanagement" in running the board.
In Tokyo General Douglas MacArthur
charged that Russia was "an inciter of
disorder and violence in an otherwise
orderly Japanese society." The charge
was made to the Soviet member of the
Allied Council for Japan, who had pro-
tested against alleged Japanese police
suppression of trade union demon-
strations during May. General Mac-
Arthur said that the Soviet protest was
"replete with inaccuracies and misinter-
pretations of fact."
The Czechoslovak Ministry of Eduo-
ation has appointed to Roman Catholic
theological seminaries political instruc-
tors who will teach compulsory courses
that priests must pass to continue their
studies or to be graduated.
Members of the graduating class of the Lago High School are seen above at their
senior banquet at the Strand Hotel. From left to right are Richard D. Rosborough,

Basketball coaches and army generals say that the best
defense is a good offense, and drivers who bull their way
through all situations or generally act as if the other fellow
should look out for them apparently believe it.
The fact remains, though, that a large part of all good
driving is what is known as "defensive driving".
The defense comes from a driver's conviction that it
almost always takes only one careful driver to prevent an
accident where one might take place. Like the small boy
who is told that "the goblins will get you if you don't
watch out", your good defensive driver always acts on the
possibility that the other driver might get him if he doesn't
watch out.
Your defensive driver edges a little toward the center of
the road before he makes a left turn, so another car cannot
attempt to pass as he swings left. He stays well to the right
on curves and hills. He gives a wide berth to anyone who
is backing, because he knows the backing driver is at least
half "blind". He depends on alertness and not on his horn.
He does all sorts of things that add up to the belief that
the other fellow may not be as careful as he is being.
There is no mystery in defensive driving. It is chiefly
common sense with a fair mixture of courtesy.

Although Lago's cost reduction program is now in full
swing, recent events show that not all employees are
cooperating in the fight to cut costs. One definite proof
of this is the mass of chain letters which have recently been
flooding the refinery.
Such letters are innocent enough in themselves. However,
considering all that must go into the preparation of them
by a large part of the employee body, the loss in time and
materials is quite substantial.
In most cases, ten or a dozen copies must be typed, with
a corresponding number of envelopes addressed. Not only
does the person who does this waste his own time; he also
wastes the time of the dozen people to whom he sends
letters. The amount of time he spends preparing the letters
multiplied by twelve is the total time consumed by one
series of letters. Add to that the time consumed by these
individuals in preparing letters to send out themselves and
so on down the line, and before long a tremendous number
of hours have been wasted by a large number of employees,
not to mention the waste of paper, carbon, and envelopes.
Most chain letters say that the receiver will have bad
luck unless he sends letters on within a certain period of
time. It seems just the other way around: if everyone were
to waste time by sending out chain letters, all of us would
have bad luck. The bad luck would be that Lago was unable
to turn out top quality products at the lowest possible costs.
And that's something that is absolutely necessary that Lago
do if it is to emerge successfully in the highly competitive
worldwide oil industry.

Esso Refinery in England

The Esso refinery now being con-

when completed, the largest oil refinery
in Europe. Output of the Fawley instal-
lation is being increased from its pre-
sent 18,000 barrels daily to 110,000 bar-
The refinery is expected to cost about
$150,000,000 and to take about three
years to complete. It will manufacture
gasoline, kerosene, gas and diesel oils,
heavy residual fuel oils, asphalts, and
certain special products.
It is expected that it will satisfy al-
most entirely the requirements of the

Before John B. Preston recently became an annuitant, after 38 years Jersey Standard
service, he was honored at a retirement luncheon. Present on the occasion were, start-
ing left and reading clockwise, C. F. Smith, L. Engelking, W. B. Cundiff, Mr. Preston,
O. Mingus, J. M. Whiteley, and L. R. Seekins. Mr. Preston also received a going-away
gift from the employees in the Equipment Inspection Group. Starting with the
Standard Oil Company of Louisiana on May 19, 1911, Mr. Preston stayed there until
1922, when he went to the Argentine affiliate. From 1935 to 1939 he was with the
Trinidad Oil Fields Operations Company. In 1939 he came to Lago, as a supervisor
in training in the Pressure Stills and two years later joined the Engineering Depart-
ment as an Engineer I. In 1945 he became an equipment inspector A in EIG, the
position he held at the time of his retirement.

Persons Going on Sports Trips
Urged to Keep Vacation Reserve
Employees who may desire to take
part in sports excursions are urged to
keep in reserve a part of their vaca-
tions, so that they will be able to
request the necessary time off to make
such trips.
On such occasions, employees with
accrued vacations should get in touch
with their foreman and request the
necessary time off. Whether or not they
wild be granted vacations at the time
will be granted vacations at the time
load, regular vacation schedule, and
similar factors.
Although the Company's policy does
not permit the granting of unpaid
leaves-of-absences for purposes of tak-
ing part in athletic events, exceptions
have been made in the past because of
extenuating circumstances. However,
according to a recent directive, such
leaves can no longer be granted.
Requests by employees for leaves-of-
absences to participate in athletic com-
petitions have increased so greatly dur-
ing the past year that it has become
increasingly difficult to grant such
requests and still maintain efficiency in
the various departments. By keeping
part of their vacations in reserve for
athletic trips, employees will thus be in
a position to request the necessary time
off when the need arises. At the same
time, neither the development of sports
in Aruba nor any person's participation
in athletic activities will be hindered.

I Safety Pays
Jackpot Prizes Added
For Safety Answers
Beginning next week a new "jackpot"
system of prizes for answers to safety
questions will be added to the present
distribution of compacts, belt buckles,
and other attractive items by Safety
Sam. By the jackpot system it is pos-
sible for an employee to win a whole
group of prizes if other employees have
failed to have the right answer.
Safety Sam will continue to find out
if employees know the answers about
the contest. If an employee answers suc-
cessfully, he will receive a prize, as in
the past. But...... he will then be asked
a special jackpot question, and if he can
answer this he will receive an additional
prize. If he fails on the second question,
however, the prize goes into the jack-
pot until the next week.
The jackpot will grow by one prize
each week until an employee successful-
ly answers not only Safety Sam's
question, but the jackpot question as
Whoever finally gives the correct
answers will receive all the prizes that
are in the jackpot. Thus if no one
answers the jackpot question till the
third week there would be three prizes,
or till the seventh week, seven prizes,
and so on.
It will pay more than ever to be able
to answer Safety Sam's questions, so as
to get a chance at the jackpot question.
Here's what you have to know to win
a prize from Safety Sam:
1. The name of your team.
2. The names of your captain and
3. Your team's standing in the second
half and for the year.
4. Your team's score in both the
second half and for the yearly Con-
5. What's on the current Safe Wor-
kers' Contest poster.
(And if you answer correctly, then
comes the jackpot question.)
In the past Safety Sam has given out
such prizes as cigarette cases, sterling
silver compacts, pedicure and manicure
sets, key cases, wallets, and numerous
other gifts. For a chance at winning
one or more of these handsome awards
for yourself, stay informed and know
the answers to the questions that Safety
Sam will ask.

CYO Provides Outlet
For San Nicolas Youth 7
A recently-organized group in San
Nicolas which is already making strides
in providing for the youth of the com-
munity is the Catholic Youth Organiza-
tion. It is sponsored by the Holy Name
Society of St. Theresa's Church.
Organized last January, the aim of
the group is to provide for the social,
recreational, educational, and spiritual
upliftment of the youth of the parish.
Membership is open to people of both
sexes from the teens to thirty years old.
Members are mainly Lago employees or
children of Lagoites.
Although the club is still in the pro-
cess of development, it has already or-
ganized and entered a team in the Lago
Heights softball competition, and has
set up a club room in St. Cecilia's Hall.
This room is equipped with a ping pong
table, domino tables, and other facili-
ties for games.
As the group grows it is planned to
introduce debates, hold classes in va-
rious subjects, build up a library, devel-
op interest in hobbies, hold dances and
picnics, and organize other activities
which give youths an outlet for their
spare time.
Chairman of the Catholic Youth Or-
ganization is de Vere James, of the
Training Division, and Rudolf Wynter,
Electrical Department, is secretary.
Others assisting in getting the group
organized are David Armagon and Cae-
sar De Souza, president and vice-presi-
dent respectively of the Holy Name So-
ciety, and Leslie D'Abreau. Father Hol-
terman is special director of the orga-
While it is still getting organized, the
club needs many items which will aid it
in expanding its activities. Gifts such as

gazines will be greatly appreciated by
the group, and will materially help it to
more efficiently fulfil its purpose in the

Team Leaders Use Various Mediums
/To Promote Safety Among Employees
As the refinery gets well into the second half of the Safe Workers' Contest,
/ attention of the twelve teams is centered on winning that part of it, as well
/ as keeping their record above the 30 per cent mark. To gain these two objectives,
captains and lieutenants have developed several methods of impressing their
team's members with the importance of following safe working practices.
During the opening half of the Contest, various methods were tried out by
the captains and their lieutenants. Those
that experience has proven effective in
maintaining employees' interest in the
Contest have been retained; others,
which turned out to be of doubtful
value, have been discarded.
Captains and lieutenants are charged
with the responsibility of making their
team members safety conscious and of
seeing that they always remain alert in
order to avoid accidents. To do this,
they employ various means which, dur-
ing the first half of the Contest, have
proved effective in making employees
aware of the importance of working
Typical of these methods of emphasiz-
ing safety are those used by B. Viapree
and his lieutenants on the Yamanota
team. Weekly talks, slogan contests,
posters, scoreboards all are employed
by the captain and lieutenants in their
efforts to plug the importance of always
being on guard against accidents.
To do his job, Mr. Viapree is assisted
by seven lieutenants (some of whom
are replacements for men on vacation,
shift work, or hospitalized). They are
O. Banfield and W. Arrindell, Machine
Shop; C. Davis and A. Le Grand, Field
Machinist; C. Maduro, Foundry; and
B. Douglas and S. Brathwaite, Industrial
Yamanota's captain meets each week
with the lieutenants from the Industrial
Relations Department and the safety
monitors from the 1948 apprentice class.
This meeting is presided over by W. A.
Keibler, chairman of the group. Each
apprentice class has a chief monitor,
and there are also monitors for each
classroom, shop, and on the field. A dis-
cussion of the group's progress in the
Contest is carried on at this meeting,
with each chief monitor making his
weekly report. In this report is a
general account of his safety activities,
including a summary of any accidents
that have occurred during the past week
in his group. Boys guilty of violating
safe working practices appear before
this group, where the importance of
working carefully is impressed on them.
The most important part of this pro-
gram is in its preparation for the
future. The boys aren't impressed just
with safe practices now so their team
can make a good record; they are urged
to develop safe habits today that will
carry over with them into their work
in the refinery.
Each class which goes for fifty days
without a minor injury receives a letter
of commendation from the team cap-
tain, congratulating it on achieving this
record and urging it to keep up the
good work. Three groups, the 1-48,
2-48, and 3-48 classes, have already
made this record.
The 1947 apprentice class also has
safety monitors but, because the group
hasn't had a single accident during the
course of the Contest, they do not
attend the meeting of monitors. Their
activities are confined to continuing
their perfect record.
Before the start of the Contest, 67
per cent of the Training Department's
accidents occurred on the playing field.
Today all Training accidents, as a re-

In the Foundry members of the
Yamanota team meet weekly with the
group's lieutenant, who discusses any
accidents that have occurred during the
week and how they could have been
avoided. He gives them the latest re-
sults on their team's standing and
brings the scoreboard up to date.
In the Machine Shop and in the Field
Machinist Shop, similar talks, which
have aided materially in the reduction
of accidents, are given each week. Lieu-
tenants in those locations also maintain
the Contest Scoreboards,
The Yamanota team has its own
slogan contest, with the best slogan
submitted by a team member being dis-
played at various locations where mem-
bers of the group are working.
Along with leaders from the other
teams, Yamanota's captain attends a
meeting once a month of the council of
captains. In addition to selecting the
best Contest slogan for that month, the
captains discuss various phases of the
Contest. One important feature of this
meeting is that it provides for an
effective exchange of information and
ideas. The methods developed and used
by Mr. Viapree and his lieutenants to
instill safe working practices in their
team members can thus be passed on to
other captains. In the same way,
practices which have been found useful
by one of the other captains and his
lieutenants can be brought to the atten-
tion of Yamanota's captain, for possible
use among his team members.
At the end of the 32nd week of the
Contest, the overall plant accident im-
provement was over 40 per cent. That
record alone is sufficient proof that the
various captains and lieutenants are
capably taking advantage of the means
at their command to impress upon their
team members the importance of work-
ing safely.

to them the importance of working safely

The Story of Robin Redbreast
Have you ever seen a robin? And have
you noticed the beautiful red color on his
breast? It looks nice and bright, but ro-
bins have not always had red breasts, as
this story will tell you.
Long, long ago, before even your gran-
ny was born, all the birds in the world
were of a dull gray color. Larks, cuckoos,
ravens, lovebirds, parrekeets, robins and
all the others looked alike. Then one day,
the Old Wise Owl, who did nothing but
think, and think, and think had a won-
derful idea.
He thought that maybe with the help
of the fairies and the dwarfs, each bird
could be given a nice new bright coat. So
on a fine morning he set out and called
on the Fairy Queen; she was ready to
help with his idea if the Dwarfs agreed.
Several meetings were held in the
woods on moonlit nights and finally they
decided that the dwarfs would give each
bird a bright new coat of paint.
The great day arrived and all the birds
lined up to get rid of their dull gray
coats and have a nice bright one instead.
The canary chose yellow, because he liked
the buttercups that grew on the meadow
so well; the raven wanted black because
then he would feel dressed up all the
time; the humming bird could not make
up her mind, so the dwarfs gave her a
special coat that had all the colors of the
rainbow in it, shiny and dazzling.
Finally all the birds were done, at
least that's what they thought. The
dwarfs had picked up their brushes and
were ready to leave, when who should
rush up, his feathers every which way,
but Mr. Robin. He was late!
During the night the wind had blown
very hard and a thick branch had fallen
over Robin's nest, closing out the sun-
beams when the morning came. So when
Mr. Robin opened his eyes that morning
it was very dark in his nest, and thin-
king it was still night, he went back to
sleep. Luckily he noticed his mistake
later in the day, and by flying as fast as
his wings could carry him, he made it
just before the dwarfs had left.
But there was no paint left. Big tears
rolled down Robin's cheeks; he wanted
so much to have a nice new coat. A little
dwarf felt sorry for him and went and
looked in all the cans of paint to see if
there wasn't even a little drop left.
He looked, and he looked and he looked
and finally in the can with red paint
there was just one drop left. The little
dwarf dipped his brush in it, and after
Robin had dried away his tears, the
dwarf painted his breast with a beauti-
ful red color. And that's how the robin
got his red breast.
C. Maduro, Contest lieutenant in the Foundry, gives
safety talk to members of the Yamanota tea
to a group of apprentice boys, emphasizing
. Such meetings as these, in which the cap-
s members on his team, play a vital role in
elve teams in the Safe Workers' Contest.

Survey Shows Aruba Accounts
For One-Fourth of Employees
A recent Industrial Relations report
shows that considerably more Lago em-
ployees come from Aruba than from
any other single island or country. With
2106 employees, Aruba accounts for
just over one-fourth of the Company's
8163 employees.
Over 43 per cent of Lago's employees
come from Holland and the Netherlands
islands, with British possessions fur-
nishing over 41 per cent.
Second to Aruba among individual
islands or countries is Grenada, which
has 835 people working for Lago. Third
is St. Vincent, with 719, and fourth is
the continental United States, with 698.
Barbados is fifth, with 528; St. Martin,
N.W.I., is sixth, 471; Surinam seventh,
410; British Guiana, with 312, eighth;
St. Lucia, 254, ninth: and Trinidad, 190,
From that point the employee roll

Surinam Being Aerial-mapped
Two years ago a project
started in Surinam to make an aerial
map of the territory. Developments of
many kinds have been hindered by the
absence of any good topographic map
of Surinam. Only small parts of the
country have been properly mapped, and
in many cases even these maps have
gone out of date. Now a map is being
made of the whole of the northern part;
and the southern part, which is prac-
tially uninhabited, will probably also be
The new map will provide a reliable
basis for the granting of concessions
for forest exploitation, mining, and
other government activities. The aerial
photographs will at the same time pro-
vide valuable data for the future deve-
lopment of mining, agriculture, and
forestry. For example, the photographs
distinguish the so-called sandstrips of
the Surinam coastal plain from the
surrounding claygrounds. This is im-
portant because each of these types of
soil is suited to different types of agri-

could be. The tiny cabin has a bunk on
each side, with a table between. While
sitting on a bunk, one's head just clears
the ceiling. Photographs of the trip's
first three years (including some tower-
ing waves encountered in an Atlantic
storm) line the walls, and a map of the
world has the boat's progress so far in
a heavy ink line. There is a small radio,
but it doesn't work. Cabinets in odd
spaces contain food supplies. At one end
of the cabin is a shelf with a foot-square
sink set into it, and over this is a spigot
giving water that is pumped up from a
300-gallon tank in the stern. It is pro-
bably the smallest boat in the world
having running water.
Besides the Dutch Navy, Lamberti
has served in the French Foreign Le-
gion and in the British expeditionary
force against Narvik. He has published
a book in Holland called "Seven Years
Under Foreign Flags". He now hopes to
pick up material for short stories as
they circle the globe, and also plans to
write a book-length account of the
cruise. A look at the boat and then at
the route makes it seem likely that he
will have plenty to write about.
Barco di Bela Ta
Biaha Rond Mundo
Binti-cinco milla di ola no ta spanta
- E. W. Lamberti, Holandes di 37 anja di
Sedad, kende a yega Oranjestad dia 30 di
Mei, cu su barco di bela. El a toca
Aruba na caminda pa su biaha round di
mundo, cu el a cuminza tres anja pasa;
e ta spera di nabega cu mas rapidez di
awor p'adilanti y di bolbe Holanda na
Augustus 1950.
Peter Rawlings di Trinidad y di 19
anja di edad ta dnico compafiero di
Lamberti. Despues di a pasa un siman
na Aruba, nan a sali pa Panama y di ey
nan lo cruza Pacifico pa bai Tahiti y
Australia, unda nan ta spera di yega na
November. Djei nan lo sigui pa India,
Suez Canal, Mediterineo y Holanda.
Lamberti ta kere cu e ta promb Holan-
des cu ta cruza mundd den un barco di
bela, y Peter Rawlings tambe ta kere
cu e ta prome di Trinidad cu ta haci e
biaha round di mundo.
Aunque Lamberti a cuminza su biaha
foi September, 1946, tempo cu el a tuma
di Amsterdam pa Aruba en realidad ta
39 dia. El a sali cu su barco pa Ingla-
tera, unda el a laga regl6 pa su biaha.
Mientras tanto el a casa c un Inglesa.
Su sefiora a nabega cu ne ta na Portu-
gal. pero pa via di salu e mester a bolbe
hib6 Inglatera.
El a sali cu dos bomber mas pa cruza
Atlintico, pero ora cu nan a yega Trini-
dad, e dos hombernan a cambia di pare-
cer y a dicidi cu nan no kera sigui na-
bega mas, y nan a bai league. Lamberti
a keda 11 iuna na Trinidad, pasobra e
no por a sigui e so; por fin el a perde
speranza di haya un compafii y el a di-
'eidi di bende e barco y el a pone un ad-
tertencia den corant pa tal fin. E ora
Peter Rawlings a parece; e hoben a caba
di gradua di Colegio di Port of Spain,
como miembro di tripulacion.
Nan a nabega foi Trinidad pa Cura-
Cao den cinco dia, unda tabatin trobbel
eu tripulacion atrobe, ora cu e pushi cu
a bini abordo na Gibraltar a dicidi di
bula na awa; pero na Curagao mes nan
a haya un otro como mascot.
Na Curacao tambe Lamberti a contra
cu'su ruman cu ta captain abordo di un
tanker di Shell; e rumannan tabatin 14
anja sin mira otro.
"Kroja", manera e barco yama, ta
bon regli pa cruza lamar, alomenos
asina bon regli cu su tamafio ta permit.
E camarote chikito tin un cama na
cada bands y un mesa mei-mei. Sintan-
do riba e camanan, bo cabez ta casi toca
plafond. E murayanan ta tur na portret-
nan di e tres anjanan cu nan a nabega,
y un mapa tin progress di e biaha mar-
kI cu un lifia diki di ink. Tin un radio
chikito abordo, pero e no ta traha mas.
Kashinan traha unda cu tabatin un tiki
lugar, ta contene provision. Den e ca-
marote tin in labamano cu un kraanchi
cu ta duna awa for di un tanki di 300
galon cu tin p'atras den e barco. Muy
probable cu esaki ta e barco di mas chi-
kito cu tin instalacion di awa.
Ademra di Marina Holandea, Lam-
to honor the marriage of Elmi Henriquez to Dalby Labban,
employees at eet Colony Commissary gathered to give her a
gift. Andrew Wetherbee made the presentation. The couple were
married on June 4 at the Methodist Church, with a reception
following at the bride's home.
Employees of the Fire Department met May 27 to present a
wedding gift to Ignatius Ogilvie (far right). Arthur Brown made
the presentation. Mr. Ogilvie was married to Edna Knight on
May 28 at the Anglican Church. Following the ceremony, a re-
ception was held at WSP-52 in San Nicolas.
Peter Rawlins of Trinidad is shown on the converted lifeboat
"Kroja" which, with two men aboard, is making a round-the-
world cruise. The small craft, which stopped in Oranjestad this
month, has three sails, no engine.
Aki nos ta mira Peter Rawlins di Trinidad riba e barco di bela
"Kroja", cu cual e, hunto cu doio di e barco ta pasando round
di mundo. E barco, cu a toca Oranjestad e luna aki, tin tres

ST. EUSTATIUS. A new modern
school has recently been opened in
Oranjestad, the capital of St. Eustatius,
and will cater to the children among the
island's one thousand inhabitants. The
school has been named the Governor de
Graff School. This name is in honor of
the Governor of the island who was the
first foreign official to salute the new
flag of the American Republic. This
was on November 16, 1776, when the
American ship Andrew Dorea arrived at
St. Eustatius. At that time, the island
was known as the Golden Rock and
enjoyed a tremendous trade as a free
port. There were thirty thousand inha-

Answer to PUZZLER:
The solution of the problem de-
pends on the fact that every
native, whether an Arbu or a
Bosnin, must always reply to a
question about his caste by saying
that he is an Arbu. If he really is
an Arbu he will speak the truth
and say so; if he is not he will lie
and say that he is. Hence, Abl said
that he was an Arbu, Bsl showed
himself an Arbu by quoting
Abl faithfully, and Crl proclaimed
himself a Bosnin by uttering a
transparent falsehood.

EMMITSBURG, MD (May 2, 2018) --- Mount St. Mary's University Director of Athletics Lynne Robinson announced today that men's basketball Head Coach Jamion Christian has accepted the head coaching position at Siena College.
"Needless to say, we are disappointed that Jamion is leaving the Mount as he has had a tremendous impact on Mount St. Mary's and our men's basketball program for the past six years," said Robinson. "We are grateful for the leadership he has provided and for the positive impact he has made in the lives of the many young men he has coached. Jamion embraced and enriched the proud tradition of our men's basketball program and we are a stronger program because of him. As a proud graduate of the Mount, Jamion will always be part of the Mount family. We wish him much continued success in his coaching career."
Christian guided the Mount to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances (2014, 2017) in his six seasons at the helm of the Mount men's basketball program. Changing the team's style of play when he arrived in 2012, Christian's "Mount Mayhem" style of basketball produced a 101-95 record over the past six years, including a 67-39 record in Northeast Conference regular season games. The Mount went 9-4 in the NEC Tournament during Christian's tenure.
"For six years, Jamion Christian successfully led Mount St. Mary's proud and storied basketball program, representing the Mount with distinction, both on the basketball court and in the larger community," said Mount St. Mary's President Timothy E. Trainor, Ph.D. "His positive and ethical approach to coaching served our student-athletes well, and leaves the program with a very bright future. We thank Jamion and wish him and his family well."
Christian was named 2016-17 Jim Phelan NEC Coach of the Year after leading the Mountaineers to both the NEC regular season and tournament titles. It was the first time since 1995-96 that the Mount took home NEC regular season honors. He led the Mountaineers to a winning record in NEC play in all six of his seasons, the only school in the conference to achieve that feat.
A 2004 graduate of Mount St. Mary's, Christian guided the Mount to an 18-14 overall season and a second-place finish in the NEC last year. During his time as head coach at the Mount, Christian has had a player win NEC Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year while 10 athletes were named to an All-NEC team.
A national search for Christian's replacement will begin immediately.

Rainbow Quest : sheeps in the sky with diamonds
A downloadable game
Sans dessus dessous / Upside down or without top and bottom
Game made in 40h during the #VGJ2015 of the Virtual Association, based on the theme "sans dessus dessous".
This game was designed to be played with a virtual reality device, and developped with Unreal Engine 4 and an Oculus Rift.
The point of the game is to make your way across various linear levels which contains (or not!) puzzles and mini-games you have to complete in order to succeed. Sometimes, you have multiples ways (including tricky ones) to succeed. We wanted our puzzles to be very Antichamber-like, and have an easy solution you wouldn't think about the first time.
We choose to work on the "meta" aspect of the subject. It's not the levels which are sans dessus dessous (well... sometimes...), but the world itself abandons logic. Level after level, the world is drastically changing, always in a very different atmosphere from the previous one.
And having a linear succession of linear levels doesn't means that the end of the game is at the end of the levels... Every puzzle was designed to be reversible, because you may have to go back somewhere at some point.
The published projet is sadly not the full project we have planned to make. It's far from our goal in term of gameplay, storyline, and design. But still, it fits, somehow, to the theme.
Even if you can't go back in the level-line in this demo, it is upside down in the way we mainly wanted the project to. The world is upside down, transitions have no logic, and you may think the team was probably some weirdos on drugs who loves Wonderland.

Timber Prices
Timber price reporting is essential for forest landowners to fully participate in competitive timber markets, such as those in Mississippi (see article "Timber Price Reporting is Essential").
From 1986 until 2004, the Mississippi Timber Price Report (MTPR) was published six times per year as a price source for Mississippi forest landowners. By 2004, commercial timber price reporting services were readily available in the market. A quarterly timber price report for Mississippi was produced by Forest2Market, Inc. from 2004 to 2013. Starting in 2013, Timber-Mart South agreed to make their quarterly price data available to Mississippi State University. That information is used by MSU faculty to develop a timber price report for Mississippi that will be published quarterly in MSU Extension Forestry's newsletter, The Overstory, and posted on this website. An archive of price reports is available on this website and all future quarterly reports will be added to that collection.
Certain factors may cause a particular tract of timber to be valued higher or lower. For example, a tract that has a high timber volume per acre and can be logged during wet weather may bring a price per unit higher than the average reported here. On the other hand, a tract with less volume at a greater distance from the buyer's mill may bring less. Additional factors that affect timber values are timber quality, tract size, type of product to be made from the timber, access to the tract, and many others. Timber-Mart South, Inc. has more detailed data available by subscription that reflects these market nuances and contains values for other timber products not included in this report.
However, the prices contained in this report are a good price reference for landowners who wish to market timber, but individuals are advised to have their timber evaluated by a professional forester before making a timber sale. To find a registered forester, visit the Mississippi Board of Registration for Foresters website.
RAYMOND, Miss. -- Despite a slow housing market and other lingering effects of the recession, Mississippi's forests remain the state's second most valuable agricultural commodity for 2017.
John Auel, an assistant Extension professor of forestry at Mississippi State University, estimates the value of forest products is $1.4 billion, which is a decrease of 8.6 percent from 2016. However, 2017 numbers are almost 40 percent higher than they were in 2009, when the industry experienced its lowest valued harvest of the 2007-2009 recession.

If you thought that HTC's partnership with Beats Audio stopped with software enhancements and fancy headphones then you'd be wrong. No, the two players are expected to take things further with a new streaming music service.
According to GigaOm, HTC plans to soon announce a streaming music service that could also become the standard music player on its future smartphones and tablets. Word on the street is that Beats CEO Jimmy Iovine (also Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M) is working to secure all the licensing agreements and contracts in order to get things going. We've already seen a similar strategy employed with HTC Watch, the streaming movie service available on select devices.
What's more, HTC is also reportedly set to release their own Bluetooth boombox speaker system which will stream music from the yet-announced service. Of course all of this is strictly unofficial and is subject to change.
We have very big ambitions for Beats beyond headphones," says Iovine. "Music has got to succeed on the phone or else the record industry will never thrive.
What do you think of a Beats Music service powered by HTC? Would you be open to buying a Bluetooth speaker system that streams your favorite music? What would you think if it was priced $450 a pop?

So, it's 2014 and we're not wearing crazy silver spacesuits like in those futuristic movies made decades ago.
Here's a video from 1939 in which American designers imagine futuristic fashion, the fashion of 2000 and beyond.
Some of the predictions aren't so far off: A couple of designers say clothes will be temperature controlled. While this dream hasn't exactly been realized, battery powered, heated vests and boots are available, and Uniqlo's heattech clothing uses the body's moisture to generate heat.
Another prediction, that skirts would disappear altogether, hasn't come true, but they are certainly more rare than in the 1930s.
In the 1980s, Michael J. Fox's character time travels to 2015 in "Back to the Future II." In 2015, clothes has built-in drying systems, shoes fasten themselves around the wearer's feet, and sleeves automatically adjust to a person's arm length.

City ATM Machine
What your Lego CiTY needs is a few of these ATM machines. Designed to be incorporated into any Lego building, this ATM machine is operated on both sides: on the outside street for the public and on the inside for the operator. Just include a hole in the side of your building that faces the street. The hole would be 4w x 8h in stud-length. Of course an ATM needs security, so this one sports a lego camera. These days, grocery stores and many other commercial building have ATMs. Why not sprinkle your CiTY with a few of these to make your Lego population happy? This would be a great candidate for a Lego polybag.

"Arvato has been a great partner in helping me to publish my courseware through the Courseware Marketplace. My courses are sold all over the world without any concern, on my part, for pricing and currency complexities. Through their online platform and newsletters, I was able to publish one of my courses in two languages and promote webinars that featured the tutorials."

"We currently have 16 active courses on the site and the level of support and advice we get from the Arvato Training & Education team is more than we ever expected.
