Questions & Answers
"Could I omit the privacy panel when assembling this desk?" asked by Jamiecito
Mayline Napoli 63" Office Desk
Love this desk
David from North York, ON– Verified Buyer
This is the perfect desk received my shipment yesterday, took about 30 minutes to assemble - a two person job at the end to get the table top on but pretty simple assembly overall. This desk is the perfect size, is beautifully finished with clean edges and a rich looking finish. Good workmanship and looks great. Very happy with the purchase and good value for money.
Hard to put together
Ajay from Conway, South Carolina
Nice size, good looks. Hardware was cheap, and nor enough spots to keep it together. Can not just move desk without it coming apart.[...]
Great work space
Amy from Williamsport, PA
This desk is stylish and sleek and looks great in my home office. I was looking for a desk that offered a large work space, and this does the trick! I really like the rounded legs and floating top too and the mahogany finish is quite regal. The glossy finish can show some dust, but it is very easy to clean and looks great!
Nice piece of furniture
Karl from Perry, GA– Verified Buyer
Great desk. The only problem I have is it comes without drawers.
Broken desk
Mat from Quebec, Canada
I bought this product for my computer and to receive some clients. The desk has a very nice finish and looks professionnal, but the assembling is too fragile, I broke it when I put all together the pieces! I had to put some screw to fixed it. It's not a good choice at all!
problems with the Napoli desk
broken desk owner from North Carolina– Verified Buyer
This desk was a tremendous disappointment. While the wood is truly beautiful, the desk proved awkward to assemble. In my case, attempted scooting or lifting of the assembled desk a short distance across the floor caused the desk to fall apart and the threaded connectors that are integral to the assembly were stripped out of the joints. I cannot recommend this desk. I have seen another high-end Napoli desk (of glass, metal and wood); this was nothing but an inadequate imitation (solely of wood and silver-painted wood).
Good desk
Mimi from New York
The mahogany finish is a difficult to clean and keep clean. It shows every little dust particle and finger print, but it looks elegant and nice.
Ghassan from Colorado– Verified Buyer
Though still a market leader in manual drawing (they invented the straightedge) and large format filing, Mayline has moved to the forefront of office ergonomics. The Mayline Group now includes Tiffany Industries, Kwik File and Mayline products.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Reliable, economical and fun to drive. What's not to like? by D in PA on 02/25/2014. Trim: 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Touring, Owned 5 years.
Pros: Very reliable and always a joy to drive. MPG is consistently above 28mpg combined. Handling is outstanding and although a little more power might be nice it has more than enough to easily break the speed limits.
Cons: Seats could offer a little more support.
Overall review: I've driven or owned cars from many makers and in many price ranges over the course of my 40+ years of driving. Sure, 400+ horsepower vehicles have their own sort of thrills but this car delivers fun and excitement in a way that few if any others can or do. If you enjoy driving at all, you'll enjoy an MX-5 of any model year. Take one for a drive and you'll see what I mean.

No Justice No Beets
Sonny and Joe's hummus — Until a resolution, it's off the shelves at Gracefully Supermarket in Midtown. Rebecca Ellis / The Brooklyn Ink
The basics of kosher law govern the facility, where no meat products or utensils were seen together with the dairy products, the cheeses stored in a separate area of the warehouse.
But as strictly as Flaum follows the biblical laws, federal officials say Flaum is hardly kosher when it comes to adhering to labor law.
Moshe Grunhut and his kosher food distribution company, Flaum Appetizing Corp., have been at the center of a complex and high profile controversy about employment law involving major union organizers and advocates in two federal cases. In the first most widely publicized case, former kitchen workers, represented by the Industrial Workers of the World, allege that the company violated the National Labor Relations Act for discouraging its employees from organizing a union and firing them after doing so. The Industrial Workers of the World, a labor union, and Brandworkers International, a labor law non-profit, is representing 17 workers after they were fired during a union organizing drive.
After the labor board ordered Flaum on Aug. 6, 2009 to pay at least $230,000 in damages to the workers, Flaum filed a countersuit alleging that the employees in questions were all illegal aliens and could therefore not organize a union, let alone be entitled to back pay or reinstatement.

Groom back in WP starting XV
Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has made just one change to his starting XV for Friday's clash with the Blue Bulls in Pretoria.
Coetzee has opted to rotate his scrum-halves with with Nic Groom replacing Louis Schreuder in the run-on side.
The WP boss has also opted for a five-two forwards split on the bench, with loose forward JJ Gagiano replacing centre Berton Klaasen in the matchday 22.
Unfortunately, flanker Rynhardt Elstadt - who was due to make his return from a rib cartilage injury this week - was not considered for selection, after suffering a recurrence of his injury.
Elstadt woke up in discomfort on Tuesday morning, after taking a full part in training on Monday, and after being sent for a scan it was decided to withdraw him from the selection frame for this weekend.
Western Province might have beaten the Blue Bulls 42-6 in their previous Currie Cup encounter this season (just over a month ago), but coach Coetzee warned that a far tougher Bulls outfit would be waiting for his team at Loftus Versfeld this weekend.
"They're definitely a desperate side and I can tell you that they'll come out firing in what will be a tough game for us.
"The Bulls are a proud union, this is unfamiliar territory for them. We really expect nothing less than the game of the season for them. It's a big challenge and it's one we're looking forward to."
Western Province: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 JP du Plessis, 12 Marcel Brache, 11 Damian de Allende, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Jebb Sinclair, 7 Tyrone Holmes, 6 Deon Fourie (c), 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Don Armand, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Deon Carstens, 17 Brok Harris, 18 Wilhelm van der Sluys, 19 Helmut Lehmann, 20 JJ Gagiano, 21 Louis Schreuder, 22 Pat Howard.
Date: Friday, October 5
Kick-off: 19:10 local (18:10 BST, 17:10 GMT)
Venue: Loftus Versfeld

South Georgians will have fewer options and pay more than anyone else in the state for health care coverage under new plans offered through Obamacare.
Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services released the cost of premiums for policies purchased in Georgia under a new exchange. It will be set up by the federal government because the state refused to expand Medicaid or run an exchange system itself.
People in the two regions that cover our area will pay vastly higher premiums than people in the other 14 regions of Georgia.
Uninsured folks will be able to choose from four levels of coverage, bronze to platinum levels. The cheapest silver level will cost an average of $304 a month statewide, but the cost in the Albany region is $360.
Folks in our area will only be able to choose from a total of 15 plans from one provider. In the Atlanta region, people can pick from 73 plans issued by six companies. That competition means much lower prices.
The lowest bronze plan in metro Atlanta will run $156 a month. In Albany the equivalent plan will cost $291. That's more than the cheapest gold plan in the Atlanta area which will cost $204 compared to $462 in Albany.

Varsity Cup preview: Round 5
Although their fortunes have differed this season, there will be no lack of passion when Cape rivals UCT and Maties meet at the Green Mile on Monday.
The Ikeys are yet to record their first victory this season, so they will be looking for some inspiration when they welcome the log-leading Maties who have won all four of their matches thus far.
Ikeys coach Kevin Foote admitted that his team have been frustrated by a series of close losses, but added that they are looking forward to the challenge that Maties will present.
"It has been a bit frustrating so far this season as we have been close, but just haven't been able to finish it off," he said.
"Maties have created a good winning culture, playing them is always a massive challenge and the guys know that it is a huge honour to play in this match."
Maties coach Chris Rossouw said that he felt the Ikeys have been very unlucky in their games so far and pointed out that they have collected quite a few losing bonus points.
"The Ikeys have had a tough season, but they are much better than the results suggest," he explained.
"They are a very proud side and will definitively be a big challenge for our side."
"The Ikeys have a very balanced side, and can shift the ball across the park when they find their rhythm."
As usual, the off-field banter has been fierce, with the two Varsities engaging in a battle on Twitter to see which side has more support. Although that will count for little when hostilities begin in Cape Town, with the action televised live televison at 4.45pm.
In the other televised game on Monday, UFS-Shimlas will be desperate to bounce back from their run of three consecutive defeats when they face NWU-Pukke in Bloemfontein.
The Free State side went down to NMMU in Port Elizabeth last week to add to home defeats to Maties and UP-Tuks, so they will be desperate to get their campaign back on track against a NWU-Pukke side that will be high on confidence following their tense victory over UCT in Potchefstroom.
In Pretoria, UP-Tuks will be out to restore their dented pride against newcomers Wits, after their last-minute defeat to Maties last week.
The defending champions find themselves in fourth position in the standings after that heartbreaking loss, and they will be focused on taking a full-house of five log points off Wits who are struggling to find their feet in their debut season.
The NMMU Madibaz's impressive home form will be put to the test when they host a rampant UJ who have not lost since their defeat to Maties in Stellenbosch in Round One.
The Eastern Cape side showed plenty of fighting spirit to overhaul UFS-Shimlas in the late stages of their clash last week, and they will have their hands full once more when they take on a UJ outfit that has built up some impressive momentum with three consecutive bonus-point wins.
In the Varsity Shield, the TUT Vikings will be looking for their second victory of the competition when they head to Pietermaritzburg to face the UKZN Impi, who recorded a morale-boosting win over Fort Hare in Alice last week.
Log-leaders CUT will be intent on continuing their unbeaten start to the season in Bellville where they will face Peter de Villiers's UWC side who have not dropped a game at home this year.
In the Koshuisrugby Championship there will be just one match on Monday with the Cobras from UCT taking on Bastion from UJ in the curtain-raiser for the Varsity Cup match.
Bastion got their campaign off to a flying start with a resounding victory over Wits outfit Commerce, but they face a much tougher assignment against the Cobras on their home track.
The Varsity Young Guns competition will shadow the Varsity Cup, with an identical set of fixtures which are set to whet the appetites of the crowds.
There will be three curtain-raisers on Monday, March 4, with UFS-Shimlas meeting NWU-Pukke in Bloemfontein, UP-Tuks taking on Wits in Pretoria and NMMU facing UJ in Port Elizabeth, whilst the UCT and Maties junior sides will do battle directly after the Varsity Cup clash.

From 2001 to 2006, she played a witch alongside hottie Alyssa Milano in the television series Charmed. Since then, we've fallen for her as smokin' hot, gun-legged stripper cherry Darling in Grindhouse: Planet Terror and then as the gun-carrying Boots McCoy in the super disgusting deleted scenes (womp-womp) of Machete. Check her out in Conan the Barbarian, in theatres today.
Random Fact: She was engaged to Marilyn Manson from 1998-2001. Don't you remember?

General Insurance, also known as non-life insurance, comprises of a gamut of insurances that provide specific covers to the insured against specific forms of eventualities. The contrast between life insurance and non-life insurance is that while the former protects the insured against risks of death, the latter protects him/her against risks associated with life such as fire, burglary, theft, illnesses, accident, etc. By its very definition, it can be estimated how wide a category General Insurance is.

Of all the forms of general insurance, only Health Insurance comes with tax benefits. As per Section 80D of the income tax act 1961, the premium paid for a health insurance plan qualifies for tax deduction from your total income. The upper limit for this deductible amount is Rs 15,000 and is extendible up to Rs 20,000 for senior citizens. So, if you pay the premium both for yourself and your parents, a maximum of Rs 35,000 will qualify for tax deduction from your total income.

Could we see 3% Treasury yields in 2 weeks?
Bill Blain said the 10-year yield will test this mark when the payrolls report is released in early September.
The dust has settled after a tumultuous week for bond investors, in which the yield on 10-year benchmark Treasurys spiked above 2.93%, a high not seen since July 2011.
The bloodletting will continue, said fixed income analysts, with some predicting 10-year yields will hit the psychologically important 3% mark within the next two weeks.
"Summer ends in tears . . . risk aversion may offer near-term respite to bonds, but not for long," Societe Generale said in a research note on Friday.
SocGen explained that the "first test" of 3% rates on 10-year notes will likely occur in early September, with the release of the government's latest payrolls report. The Federal Reserve has explicitly linked the timing of the tapering off of its stimulus measures to the unemployment rate, so a strong number could increase the prospects of an early end to quantitative easing, and vice-versa.
Tapering concerns have led a flight to cash, at the expense of equity and bond funds, and bond yields have been on a one-way ticket higher since May, when the Fed's policy minutes sparked fears the central bank would start tapering off assets purchases this year.
Outflows from U.S. bond mutual funds (such as iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) or DoubleLine Total Return Bond I (DBLTX)) and exchange-traded funds accelerated in August, and were the third highest on record, according to TrimTabs. A slew of recent positive economic reports has added to concerns the Fed will make its move when the jobs report is released in two weeks' time.
Bill Blain, senior fixed income broker at Mint Partners, agreed the 10-year yield will test 3% when the payrolls report is released on September 6.
"At the moment the Treasury market is range-bound -- every time it tests a top it is then supported. For it to roll through 3% will require a catalyst event . . . I think the key test will be September 6 payroll data -- if that is strong then we coast through 3% and up," Blain told CNBC.
"Next week the [bond] auctions may prove a hurdle, but probably not enough to push it past the support."
Meanwhile, Barclays revised its 10-year outlook higher on Friday, forecasting it will rise to 3.75% by the third quarter of 2014.
Despite this, Saxo Bank Chief Economist Steen Jakobsen forecast on Friday that yields could reach "new lows" instead.
"The combination of depressed participation rates and weak 'real growth', plus Obamacare and bad jobs, leads our models to predict a big reversal on the recent trends, with surprising implications for quantitative easing, and new lows in yields," Jakobsen said in a research note.
Charles Dumas, an economist at Lombard Street Research, had similar thoughts, as did Jessica Hinds at Capital Economics. Hinds said the market had now fully acclimatized to the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy, and that the 10-year yield could fall back slightly by year-end.
Dumas, meanwhile, saw weak growth in the U.S. as a catalyst for the Fed continuing quantitative easing until winter at the earliest.
"Our forecast is for Treasury yields to be easing down over the next few months," he said in a note on Friday.
"With the onset of genuine recovery -- which, subject to fiscal policy, we expect next year -- yields could then pick up again. At some stage, if recovery is durable, a powerful upswing of yields should occur, but quite possibly not within the next 12 months."

Hurricane Sandy pressed the pause button Monday on a frenetic presidential campaign entering its final week, prompting President Obama and Mitt Romney to cancel rallies and raising questions about the effect of the storm on voting.
Ohio, a pivotal big state, was expected to be lashed by winds of 30 to 50 miles per hour, heavy rain, and possibly snow if the storm tracked through western Pennsylvania, as expected. Power outages were feared. That could hurt Obama's efforts there, since they rely on a robust early voting turnout.

Unpacked and hung two of these last night for a kids' playroom, so they can play their Minecraft crap and leave my computer alone. The desks are pressboard central, which I expected from the price. I didn't get solid wood desks because I didn't want to pay for solid wood, so I'm not dinging the product for material choice. The desks are not difficult to assemble and don't take long. Directions are crap though. They reference a board designation like "D2" but there are no stickers on the board to let you know which one is D2. Pics are just OK. You'll have to kind of fumble your way through assembly. Once hung, they look nice. The wall brackets are sturdy metal, so as long as you hit studs, the desk isn't coming down unless someone sits on it. Overall I'm happy thus far. Time will tell if the veneer can hold up to pre-teen usage or if the fasteners start to loosen.
We were looking for a simple yet interesting desk for my 18 year old son's bedroom and thought this would be perfect. It was easy to assemble and is a real conversation piece. He has received many compliments from his friends and loves that it does not take up a lot of space in his bedroom. We are very pleased with this purchase.
Purchased this to hang in the bathroom as a make-up counter for my wife. Mounted it at counter height so that she can use a stool with it. She is pleased. Looks good with the white cabinetry in the bathroom. Assembly took about 30 minutes and mounting was simple. Sturdy product.
This is the perfect piece for the space I have, and it looks great. There is sufficient space between the back of the desk and the wall for cables and wires. The sturdiness of the desk is adequate for my uses; I have a large all-in-one printer on it that takes up most of the writing space.
Great space saver for a small room. Also a different idea and a talking point.
This is a great space saving desk for a modern room.
Cheap particle wood, will scratch easily. Great design overall. Assembly is straight forward.
It''s a good a looking product and fairly easy to assemble.
This desk was perfect for my son's bedroom wall. It is well made and doesn't take up much room. The only complaint we had was that the bracket it hangs on could have been an inch wider to make it easier to hang. It barely fit. Overstock had the best price compared to other websites with the same item!
LOVE LOVE this desk. It looks great in my son's room. I would recommend it but buy different mounting materials than the ones provided for better stability.

NCI Advisory Boards Hold Joint Meeting This Week
NCI's Board of Scientific Advisors (BSA) and the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) held a joint meeting June 24–25 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD.
Drs. Harold Varmus, Doug Lowy, and James Doroshow opened the meeting with the NCI Director's Report. Their presentation included a discussion on NCI's Provocative Questions Project, as well as the absolute risk reduction in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). (See the NLST Patient and Physician Guide.)
Attendees then heard presentations on a number of topics, including a report on the President's Cancer Panel, the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research strategic plan, highlights of efforts to improve the efficiency of NCI-sponsored clinical trials, and an update on the National Cancer Informatics Program.
The board members also recognized several departing BSA and NCAB members.
The agenda is available online, and an archived videocast of the meeting will be posted in a few days.
William Dahut Named Deputy Director of NCI's Center for Cancer Research
Dr. William Dahut has been named deputy director of NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR). In this role, he will provide administrative and scientific oversight to a group of CCR laboratories and branches. He will also advise the CCR director and scientific director for clinical research on strategy, priority setting, resource allocation, and policy development.
After joining NCI's Medicine Branch in 1998 as head of the prostate cancer clinic, Dr. Dahut later became chief of the Genitourinary/Gynecological Clinical Research Section in what is now the Medical Oncology Branch.
Dr. Dahut will continue his role as clinical director of CCR, a position he has filled since 2009. In that role, Dr. Dahut oversees CCR's clinical operations, including patient recruitment, clinical protocol review, management of inpatient units and outpatient clinics, human subjects protection, quality of patient care, and data management support.
Dr. Dahut's primary research interest is the development of novel treatments for adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Research to Reality Cyber-Seminar: How to Measure Health Disparities
The July 10 NCI Research to Reality (R2R) cyber-seminar will explore efforts and tools to help researchers and practitioners monitor and evaluate community health disparities.

NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities and Center for Cancer Genomics, in conjunction with several NCI-designated cancer centers and other national and community organizations, will hold a community health expo, "Our Families, Our Research, Our Future," on Saturday, July 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET at the Civic Building in Silver Spring, MD.
The free event is open to the public and will feature a variety of interactive exhibits on healthy lifestyles, preventive cancer screening, and research.
A panel of researchers will discuss community participation in biospecimen and clinical research from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. ET. The discussion will include an introduction to tissue donation and explain why biospecimens are important in cancer research, what happens to donated tissue, the benefits and risks involved in research participation, and how high-quality biospecimens help researchers reduce cancer health disparities.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to participate in hands-on activities that demonstrate basic concepts of genome analysis and illustrate how genomics can reduce the burden of cancer.
More information about the event is available online.

Think you're broke? You probably aren't
Take a look at spending habits before crying 'poor me.'
When I read Laura Rowley's excellent column, "Why the rich don't feel rich" -- in which she wrote about a University of Chicago law professor's struggle to survive on a combined family income of more than $250,000 -- I thought the column was a stark contrast to something that happened while I was in New Jersey to visit a terminally ill relative.
- Calculator: Are you saving enough for retirement?
I frequently stopped by to see another relative, my Aunt Dot, who's 87 and very frail due to several medical issues. She and her son live on Social Security and disability plus her small pension. One evening I discovered that they had exactly one dollar in the house. Her check was due the next day and she planned to walk to the bank to cash it.
The bank is at least a mile from where Dot lives. And did I mention that she's on oxygen?
If she'd had $2 more, she could have taken a cab. But she didn't have it.
This is the face of 'broke'
Some days it's all Dot can do to move from the couch to the kitchen, or from the couch to the toilet chair now permanently ensconced in the living room. (Bathroom's upstairs.) Yet she was going to walk a mile, with her 69-year-old son carrying the oxygen tank, to cash her check.
Every time I get paid, I send Dot some money. In fact, I'd just given it to her the week before -- but it had gone for doctor co-pays.
When I heard about the lack of cab fare, I gently insisted on giving her some extra funds.
At first she refused, saying it had already cost me too much to fly to Jersey. I kept insisting, gently. Finally she took the four $1 bills I had in my wallet, still fretting that I would "run short."
Which brings me to that law professor and all the other complainers out there.
Whiners: Stop whining
If I hear one more person grousing about being "broke" while drinking a latte and sending and receiving texts, I may pour the coffee over that person's head.
When you're sick as a dog and have just $1 in the house ... well, go ahead and complain. Aunt Dot didn't, by the way. She just shrugged and said, "I'm usually not that broke."
So all you folks who are hale and hearty and careless with your funds: Please be quiet.
Please stop complaining about how "poor" you are before payday ... while eating nachos and drinking beer at a sports bar.
Please stop whining about how you couldn't afford a "real" vacation. This presupposes that you have a job to get a vacation from. Do you know how many people would kill to have a job, any job at all, let alone be paid to take a week off from it?
Please don't sign up for satellite television even as you are robbing Peter to pay Paul each month. Maybe you should think about dropping pay TV altogether until you get your finances in order.
Please don't e-mail me tales of financial woe that end with the postscript, "Sent from my iPhone."
(These are all real-life examples, by the way.)
None of you people are broke. You are simply not using your money wisely.
And you need to find another way to live before you end up on Social Security, and oxygen, with a single greenback to your name. Then you'll know what "broke" really feels like.
Donna Freedman is the MSN Money Living With Less columnist and also blogs at Smart Spending and Surviving and Thriving.
More from MSN Money:
But they absolutely have to have that smartphone.
I've already gotten used to the idea that if they end up eating cat food when they are old and can no longer work, that it will be their own fault.
I got to know my Dad really well before he died a few years ago. He grew up the youngest child of a subsistence farming family in the depression. I had a hard time with Dad because he never wanted to throw anything away, though he had tons of stuff.
Now I am older, have made myself debt-free, and will never take for granted the stuff that I own. And it is less stuff than I had when I borrowed.
Thanks for all you do, Donna. Wish your blogs were mandatory reading for people....
Personally, suffering from an untreatable and permanent illness takes its toll emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Seeking solace with a little spending is a fix so many people participate in. Little splurges lead to more splurges. Little expenses add up quickly to a huge total.
There are the malicious spenders and the entitle spenders too. There are also the money controllers/abusers. Having another person around is sometimes torture itself.

Resolution VIII.19: Guiding principles for taking into account the cultural values of wetlands for the effective management of sites
|"Wetlands: water, life, and culture"
8th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
Valencia, Spain, 18-26 November 2002
1. ACKNOWLEDGING that the ancient and intimate links of traditional societies to wetlands and water have given rise to important cultural values relevant to wetland conservation and wise use, which have been recognized in the diverse cosmologies of different civilizations and cultures throughout history;
2. FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING that the specific physical features of wetlands have contributed to particular ways of managing traditional activities through structures, procedures, techniques and specially designed artefacts which are of great cultural significance;
3. RECOGNIZING that peoples' relations with wetlands have given rise to aspects of non-material culture, through folklore, music, mythology, oral traditions, customs, traditional knowledge and popular wisdom, and that their reflection can be found in social practices and the traditional forms of social organization for managing wetland resources, and especially water;
4. FURTHER RECOGNIZING that sustainable traditional uses of wetland resources have frequently created cultural landscapes of significant value to wetland conservation and wise use;
5. AWARE that the cultural values of wetlands have been and still are of great importance to societies living in wetlands and their surroundings, and constitute part of their identity; thus their loss may not only contribute to their alienation from wetlands, but also cause significant negative social and ecological impacts;
6. RECOGNIZING that cultural knowledge of wetlands constitutes a collective legacy for today's societies;
7. AWARE that most of the knowledge about practices, and practices themselves, of traditional wetland management in the diverse cultures have contributed to wetland conservation and wise use over millennia, and continue to contribute to it;
8. FURTHER AWARE that in addition to their spiritual dimension of this knowledge and other aspects of past wetland management, such values can be of considerable socio-economic importance, since they can be used as a resource for sustainable tourism and recreational activities and, through them, contribute to an increase of income and quality of life for the inhabitants;
9. CONSCIOUS of the fact that the adequate recognition of and support for cultural heritage, both material and non-material, is an indispensable component in any process for the sustainable use of wetland resources;
10. RECOGNIZING that there are important weaknesses and gaps in the procedures and methods for identifying, valuing and protecting the cultural heritage of wetlands, as well as in defining and implementing policies related to them;
11. NOTING that the profound and rapid social and economic transformations that have taken place during recent decades have increasingly threatened the adequate preservation of the cultural heritage that is typical of wetlands in many parts of the world;
12. RECOGNIZING that there are various multilateral agreements and organizations that work to recognize and protect cultural values and relationships with ecosystems including wetlands;
13. ACKNOWLEDGING that the Ramsar Convention needs to work in cooperation with multilateral and regional agreements and other bodies addressing the need for resolute action to preserve the cultural heritage, including among others:
· the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (Paris, 1972);
· the Call of Granada (1975) of the Council of Europe on Rural architecture and its landscape;
· Recommendation 881 (1979) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Rural architecture heritage;
· UNESCO's activities in the promotion of the conservation of cultural heritage;
· the general principles for conservation proposed by the Vernacular Built Heritage Charter (Jerusalem, 1996), ratified by the XI General Assembly of the International Council of Monuments and Historical Sites (ICOMOS);
· the various recommendations of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for the protection, conservation, legal status, economic exploitation, and international protection of folklore;
· the Convention on Biological Diversity, in particular concerning its Decision VI/10 of the Conference of the Contracting Parties on the Outline of the composite report on the status and trends regarding the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities relevant to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and the plan and timetable for its preparation; and on Recommendations for the conduct of cultural, environmental and social impact assessment regarding developments proposed to take place on, or which are likely to impact on, sacred sites and on lands and waters traditionally occupied or used by indigenous and local communities;
· the European Landscape Convention (Florence, 2000);
· the Convention concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (International Labour Organisation No. 169, 5 September 1991); and
· the Permanent Forum of Indigenous People.
14. RECALLING that inter alia the text of the Ramsar Convention already recognizes, in the third paragraph of its preamble, "that wetlands constitute a resource of great economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value, the loss of which would be irreparable" and FURTHER RECALLING that COP7 adopted Guidelines for establishing and strengthening local communities' and indigenous peoples' participation in the management of wetlands (Resolution VII.8); and
15. NOTING the background documentation and examples on the cultural aspects of wetlands from around the world presented during Technical Session 5 of this meeting of the Conference of the Parties;
16. TAKES NOTE WITH INTEREST of the list of Guiding Principles included in the Annex to this Resolution;
17. REQUESTS that the Ramsar Bureau seek inputs from Contracting Parties, experts and practitioners, and local communities and indigenous peoples from around the world to enhance the information paper on cultural aspects of wetlands (COP8 DOC. 15) and the detailed guidance prepared for consideration by this meeting of the Conference of the Parties, with a view to publishing it as a background document, and to inform COP9 of the progress made;
18. ENCOURAGES Contracting Parties to consider using the list of Guiding principles included in the Annex to this Resolution, but only in relation the conservation and enhancement of the cultural values of wetlands;
19. FURTHER ENCOURAGES Contracting Parties, within their national and legal frameworks and available resources and capacity:
a) to consider the compilation and assessment of both material and non-material cultural elements related to wetlands and water, in particular when preparing the Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS) for the designation of new Wetlands of International Importance or when updating the RIS of existing Ramsar sites, taking into account, as appropriate, intellectual property rights, customary law, and the principle of prior informed consent, in accordance with CBD and WIPO rules;
b) to promote the appreciation and revitalization, of these cultural values among populations close to wetlands, and in general among the wider public;
c) to include relevant aspects of cultural heritage in both the design and implementation of wetland management plans;
d) to make efforts to integrate cultural and social impact criteria into environmental assessments, which could include, inter alia, issues of particular cultural concern, such as beliefs and religions, customary practices, forms of social organization, systems of natural resources use, including patterns of land use, places of cultural significance, sacred sites and ritual ceremonies, languages, customary lore/law systems, political structures, roles and customs;
e) to carry out such efforts with the active participation of indigenous peoples, local communities and other stakeholders, and to consider using the cultural values of wetlands as a tool to strengthen this involvement, particularly in wetland planning and management;
20. ENCOURAGES Contracting Parties to recognize cultural and heritage values relating to wetlands in their existing heritage protection, legal framework and policies;
21. INVITES Contracting Parties to consider conducting appropriate joint educational and training activities with regard to the cultural values of wetlands, as well as to consider developing pilot projects for testing on a local, regional and national scale with a view to further improving the application and/or integration of the Guiding Principles in wetland conservation and wise use;
22. ENCOURAGES Contracting Parties to establish appropriate consultation mechanisms at regional or national levels, in order to consider how the Guiding Principles might be applied in developing and promoting the cultural values of wetlands; and
23. URGES Contracting Parties and the Ramsar Bureau to develop synergies and to avoid duplication of efforts with the relevant multilateral agreements, such as those mentioned in paragraph 13 above.
Guiding principles for taking into account the cultural values of wetlands for the effective management of sites
General principles
1. This document proposes a number of general principles for identifying, preserving and reinforcing the cultural values of wetlands, which could be supplemented with additional ones at future meetings of the Conference of the Parties as more knowledge and experience are obtained. Some of them may overlap, but this is only natural as cultural values are often related and require an integrative approach.
2. There is a strong link between wetland conservation and benefits to people. In addition, a positive correlation between conservation and the sustainable use of wetlands has been repeatedly demonstrated. Therefore, conservation requires the involvement of indigenous peoples and local communities and cultural values offer excellent opportunities for this.
Guiding principle 1 - To identify the cultural values and relevant associated partners.
Guiding principle 2 - To link the cultural aspects of wetlands with those of water.
Guiding Principle 3 - To safeguard the wetland-related cultural landscapes.
Guiding principle 4 - To learn from traditional approaches.
Guiding principle 5 - To maintain traditional sustainable self-management practices.
Guiding principle 6 - To incorporate cultural aspects in educational and interpretive activities in wetlands.
Guiding principle 7 - To take into account culturally appropriate treatment of gender, age and social role issues.
Guiding principle 8 - To bridge the differences of approach between natural and social sciences.
Guiding principle 9- To mobilise international cooperation in matter of culture issues related to wetlands.
Guiding principle 10 - To encourage research on palaeoenvironmental, palaeontological, anthropological and archaeological aspects of wetlands.
Guiding principle 11 - To safeguard wetland-related traditional production systems.
Guiding principle 12 - To protect historical structures in wetlands or closely associated with them.
Guiding principle 13 - To protect and preserve wetland-related artefacts (mobile material heritage).
Guiding principle 14 - To preserve collective water and land use management systems associated with wetlands.
Guiding principle 15 - To maintain traditional sustainable practices used in and around wetlands, and value the products resulting from these practices.
Guiding principle 16 - To safeguard wetland-related oral traditions.
Guiding principle 17 - To keep traditional knowledge alive.
Guiding principle 18 - To respect wetland-related religious and spiritual beliefs and mythological aspects in the efforts to conserve wetlands.
Guiding principle 19 - To use the arts to promote wetland conservation and interpretation.
Guiding principle 20 - To incorporate cultural aspects, where available, in the Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS) for the description of Wetlands of International Importance, whilst ensuring the protection of traditional rights and interests.
Guiding principle 21 - To incorporate the cultural aspects of wetlands in management planning.
Guiding principle 22 - To include cultural values in wetland monitoring processes.
Guiding principle 23 - To consider the use of institutional and legal instruments for conservation and protection of cultural values in wetlands.
Guiding principle 24 - To integrate cultural and social criteria into environmental impact assessments.

Rashaad Richardson drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 3 seconds left to lift Georgia State over Liberty 67-66 Sunday in a nonconference game.
With the Panthers (4-4) down 65-61, Georgia State's RJ Hunter converted a 3-point play, and then Liberty's Casey Roberts made 1 of 2 free throws to put the Flames up 66-64.
Hunter grabbed the rebound when Roberts missed the second free throw, and Georgia State took the ball the other way, setting up Richardson's winning shot.
Liberty's 0-8 start is the worst in program history.
Georgia State trailed 37-29 at halftime but opened on a 9-0 run. The lead change was the first of 7 in the second half.
Manny Atkins and Devonta White led Georgia State with 17 points each. Hunter finished with 12 points and seven rebounds, and Richardson had 10 points.
Davon Marshall hit six 3-pointers and tallied 25 points for Liberty, both career highs.
