Standing Committee Subgroup on COP9 -- Agenda paper COP9 SG-10
|CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
Meeting of the Standing Committee Subgroup on COP9
Gland, Switzerland, 7-10 March 2005
Agenda item 10
Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to consider the approach on this matter and to confirm the next steps for preparing guidance, as appropriate, for consideration by COP9.
Note by the Ramsar Secretariat
1. Members of the Subgroup on COP9 will recall that although the Convention text establishes under Article 2 a process for the designation of wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites), and the extension of boundaries of sites already designated, it makes provision for the deletion or boundary restriction of designated Ramsar sites only in the "urgent national interest" (Article 2.5).
2. In relation to this, Ramsar COP8 adopted Resolution VIII.21 on Defining Ramsar site boundaries more accurately in Ramsar Information Sheets and Resolution VIII.20 on General guidance for interpreting "urgent national interests" under Article 2.5 of the Convention and considering compensation under Article 4.2.
3. However, Parties at COP8 also recognised that there may be a number of other situations in which it could be deemed appropriate for practical purposes to delete a designated site from the List or restrict the boundaries of such a site,
4. In recognition of this, COP8 also adopted Resolution VIII.22 on Issues concerning Ramsar sites that cease to fulfil or never fulfilled the Criteria for designation as Wetlands of International Importance. In paragraph 6 of this Resolution, the Parties recognised that "there may be situations where:
a) a Ramsar site never met the Criteria for designation as a Wetland of International Importance;
b) part of a Ramsar site unavoidably loses the values, functions and attributes for which it was included, or was included in error; orc) a Ramsar site at the time of listing met the Criteria but, whilst its values, functions and attributes remain unchanged, it later fails to meet the Criteria because of a change in those Criteria or in the population estimates or parameters which underpin them."
5. Resolution VIII.22 requested the Standing Committee, with support from the Secretariat and International Organization Partners, the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), appropriate legal and other experts, and interested Contracting Parties, to develop guidance on this issue and its relationship to those covered by Resolution VIII.20 and VIII.21. Specifically, paragraph 7 of Resolution VIII.22 proposed that "the following issues required further consideration:
a) identification of scenarios in which a listed Ramsar site may cease to fulfil the Criteria for designation as a Wetland of International Importance;
b) obligations of Contracting Parties under the Convention, and the possible application of compensation measures under Article 4.2; andc) procedures that could be applied should the deletion or restriction of boundaries need to be contemplated in such situations."
6. The 29th meeting of the Standing Committee (Decision SC29-16) requested the Ramsar Secretariat to prepare a report on these matters for consideration at its thirtieth meeting.
7. Accordingly, a discussion paper (DOC. SC30-13) was prepared for the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee by the Ramsar Secretariat, with the assistance of David Pritchard (BirdLife International) and input of information on boundary changes supplied by Contracting Parties, as a basis for preparing additional guidance, as appropriate, for consideration by the Standing Committee and COP9. In support of this work the Secretariat sought to identify relevant cases concerning different circumstances of Ramsar site boundary changes or proposed boundary changes from materials supplied by Contracting Parties.
8. The Standing Committee (Decision SC30-5) requested the secretariat, with the assistance of interested Contracting Parties and International Organization Partners, as appropriate, to further develop the issues and approaches, for circulation to all Parties prior to consideration at the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee.
9. The Ramsar Secretariat is currently further developing this material, as requested by Decision SC30-5, in the form of:
i. An information paper setting out the issues and outlining nine different scenarios under which consideration of boundary restrictions or site deletion questions could arise, should it not be relevant for a Party to have invoked "urgent national interest"; and
ii. A draft COP9 Resolution on these matters, with short annexed guidance for Parties on a step-wise approach to assessing whether it is appropriate to consider such changes should deletion or restriction be contemplated, and proposed procedures for confirming any such change to a Listed site.
10. This guidance will be based on the overarching principle that a wetland should remain designated as a Ramsar site whenever possible and appropriate, in line with the intent of the Convention text for Ramsar site designation and the maintenance of their ecological character and the Strategic Framework and guidelines for the further development of the List of Wetlands of International Importance. The approach is also that delisting or boundary restriction should be seen as a very last resort after all other considerations and options have been fully assessed and considered.
11. Should any such delisting or restriction be proposed by a Party, under Article 8.2 (d) it would then be a matter for discussion by Parties at the next COP.
12. Once a draft of the Information Paper and COP9 DR has been prepared, the Secretariat will circulate it for consideration prior to the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee.

The Analysis of the Tourist Circulation Manifested in the Constanta County during 2005 – 2008
AbstractDuring 2005 – 2008, the tourist circulation in Constanta County is characterized by a slight evolution of the tourists' number, tourists arrived in this area and their overnight stays in the tourist reception structures with housing functions. Although this county represents an attractive destination for those who practice the seaside tourism, the tourism entrepreneurs should apply new marketing strategies in view of conceiving tourist products capable of fully satisfying the tourists exigencies.

These Dividend-Paying Stocks Just Hiked Their Payouts
- By Diane Alter, Contributing Writer, Money Morning - November 15, 2013
The top dividend-paying stocks offer more than high yield. They also steadily raise their dividends.
Companies that continue to grow dividends are the "best compounders," Don Kilbride, portfolio manager of the Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund, told Barron's.
With that in mind, check out the following list of high-yield dividend stocks that increased their payouts so far in November.

Dividend-Paying Stocks: AOL Not the Only One to Raise Payout
- By Diane Alter, Contributing Writer, Money Morning - August 30, 2012
AOL will dole out a one-time payment of $5.15 a share to holders of record Dec. 5, for a total of $500 million given out in dividends.
In addition to the whopping and unexpected dividend news, AOL also reported a $600 million fast-tracked share repurchase agreement with Barclays Plc (NYSE ADR: BCS).
The move comes on the heels of a deal inked in April to sell 800 patents to Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT). At the time, AOL assured its plans were "to return a significant portion of the sale proceeds to shareholders."
The move also follows a push from activist shareholder group Starboard Value LP, which had been lobbying for AOL to unload its patent cache and reward shareholders with a dividend and share repurchase program.
Investors applauded the dividend news, sending shares of AOL up more than 3% Monday. The stock has been on a tear, climbing more than 120% year-to-date.
While AOL has only planned a one-time dividend, many other companies in 2012 have announced regular payouts.
Dividend-Paying Stocks: Payouts on the RiseA number of companies are beginning to recognize just how important dividends have become in this era of low-interest savings accounts and certificates of deposits (CDs) that offer paltry yields.
In fact, dividends, once a trademark of stodgy blue chip companies, are emerging in full force in the tech sector.

A Dividend Paying Stock for "Times Like This"
Earnings season teaches us a lot about companies - like which ones have figured out how to successfully navigate in the uncertain economic times we have now. And this earnings season has shown us that there's a dividend paying stock that has not only delivered profits but could increase its already healthy payout.
Money Morning's Shah Gilani joined Fox Business' "Varney & Co." Tuesday morning to talk about this top sin stock that can deliver consistent money to your portfolio.
"[This stock] has a 4.7% dividend yield. I think you have to like anything that provides you income and that has appreciation potential," said Gilani. "[This stock] is always on the top of my list."
This stock delivered blockbuster Q2 profits. Watch this accompanying video to hear everything Gilani has to say about this dividend paying stock that can give your portfolio some profit protection.

Six Dividend Stocks to Hold Forever
- By Martin Hutchinson, Global Investing Specialist, Money Morning - July 18, 2012
Today, it's all about the fast money. In the market, out of the market... this stock, that stock...
Of course, that's perfectly fine for traders. The good ones earn small fortunes that way. But for folks who don't have that kind of experience, being nimble is simply an invitation to be whipsawed by the markets.
You may be one of them.
For instance, are you fed up with stock recommendations that only seem to last a couple of weeks?
Or do you constantly find yourself buying on a day when the market is hot, because you feel enthusiastic, only to end up selling on a bad day, because the same stock suddenly looked less attractive?
If so, there's a solution to all this day-to-day madness. Despite the rumors of its demise, there are still stocks you can buy and hold forever.
Of course, seasoned income investors have known this for years. That's why the truly rich don't spend their days watching the financial news and trading stocks. They're too smart for that.
They know that investing in steady-income producing dividend stocks is just as rewarding over the long haul.
How to Pick the Long-Term WinnersHowever, picking successful dividend-paying stocks is not as simple as buying only the stocks with the highest yield. In fact, the stocks with the highest yields are often the ones that trip up investors the most.
When it comes to buying stocks you can truly hold forever, what's important is the company's track record.

Deerhunter Rocks SF's Noise Pop FestivalJuxtapoz // Friday, 27 Feb 2009
Deerhunter Rocks SF's Noise Pop Festival
Words by Evan Pricco
Photos by Kevin Johnson
Every year, I try and see at least two Noise Pop Festival shows here in San Francisco. I have great memories of seeing Britt Daniel of Spoon performing solo with just guitar and a 1990s-looking boombox (you know, the ones that had the subwoofer speakers on the sides) that he used the same drum beat for about five songs, and it was brilliant.
For 2009, Noise Pop opened the festivities with an "it" band. It being Deerhunter. Deerhunter is popular with the same people who would have liked My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive in 1991. That is, people who like pop that is swallowed by ethereal and sometimes static noise. I'm one of them, and because I was 9 in 1991, my parents wouldn't let me attend MBV shows, although, and somewhat alarmingly, I was allowed to listen to "Doggystyle." I digress.
The good thing about Noise Pop is that if you miss a show, there are at least three or four more shows that will fit your aesthetic. For instance, if you miss St Vincent tonight, you can see Bob Mould or AC Newman Saturday night. And of course, you can see No Age on Sunday afternoon and Les Savy Fav on Sunday night if you want to "double bill" yourself. I'm explaining that there are options, and that is what makes Noise Pop great.
Things I think you should attend this weekend in San Francisco if you are going to participate in Noise Pop festivities: Pop n' Shop, from noon to 4pm at the Verdi Club, an "independent design fair - featuring over 40 Bay Area designers and artists selling the latest chic and unique clothing, jewelry, limited edition screen-printed posters, and other fun stuff all at affordable prices.
Then go to a screening of I Need That Record: The Death (Or Possible Survival) Of The Independent Record Store at 4pm at Artists' Television Access, because the independent store is dealing with a recession and survival is key. Personally, I thinking AC Newman at The Independent for my wrap-up of the day, but Bob Mould, Portugal, The Man, Sholi, or Flosstradamus are all good as well if Newman and the power-pop ain't your thing. And then, might I again mention No Age at Bottom of the Hill on Sunday.
I just made your weekend for you. If you live in SF, that is. I'm not a dictator of your time, nor do I consider myself an authority on what you should do with your life, but this schedule is better than getting your taxes done.

Understanding birth defects - Around the Arch
December 2009 Issue
The image shows cell with a defective meiosis I, leading to aberrant chromosome segregation and chromosome imbalance in progeny. Photo by Xuexian Li At conception, parents provide an embryo with chromosome information—23 each, for a total of 46. But when there are extra copies of chromosomes, or fewer than the normal 46, birth defects can occur. UGA researchers have developed a model system for plants and animals that shows that the loss of a key structural protein can lead to the premature separation of one DNA copy called a chromatid. The new model shows for the first time that the loss of this protein can lead to birth disorders caused by extra or too few chromosomes. Best known may be Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. Many errors in chromosome transmission are so severe that miscarriages usually occur. "As we know, human females have all the eggs they will ever have from the time …

Whoa! The gorgeous stunner Sunny is here with her scorching hot 'Baby Doll' song from her much anticipated movie of the year "Ragini MMS 2."
There is no denying the fact that since the day, Sunny has debuted in Bollywood she's been presented as a carnal delight of sort by the makers of many of the cine flicks featuring her. But this time it looks like after being presented as a prurient mannequin for a relatively lengthier period of time, this time this super sassy diva has worked a lot on her cinematic skills. And what made us think so, is her impeccable dance moves and thoroughly improvised expressiveness which she has exhibited in this much awaited song of `Ragini MMS 2`.
Composed by Meet Bros Anjjan, this peppy song is penned Kumar.
A look in the past...
Well, this is not for the first time that we will be seeing Sunny shake her legs on some Indian number, she did it in the past also, while performing an item number "Laila" in John Abraham starrer "Shoot Out At Wadala". But this time while jiving in "Baby Doll", this fantasy queen of millions is looking a lot more seasoned and adroit in her job.
So after seeing this astonishing performance of Sunny in this Punjabi number, let's hope that in the days ahead with the release of "Ragini MMS 2" we also get an opportunity to see her performing her role in movie with utmost gusto.

Reiner vs. Kubrick
Reiner v. Kubrick The movie was actually about Audiences are much more Bruce Willis and Michelle Think back on the debased Hollywood morality often So many layers of artifice Reiner's Venice sequence Nothing's at stake Kubrick's progression Critics embarrassed themselves Random Hearts' Ford and Scott Thomas' Burdened with the worst
Wide Shut is the movie that most embarrasses film
critics this year. It not only cost a leading daily reviewer her job (if you
listen to the right inside dope) but hardly anyone who reviewed it got it right–not
even the blurb whores. That's mostly because our hype crisis has made an
uncorrupted response to movie art almost impossible. It's often difficult
to see contemporary films apart from their promotion, to separate a filmmaker's
intent from the culture's mandate, to distinguish Kubrick's individuality
from his legend. Expecting Kubrick to be ahead of his time, reviewers were stumped
to discover him outside his time. Eyes Wide Shut's moral consideration
of marriage and sex was widely dismissed as old-fashioned and out of touch.
It didn't promise an empty tomorrow (like the jejune Fight Club) but uncomfortably
reconsidered morality that the 90s forgot. And this intransigence was, ironically,
betrayed by Kubrick's and Warner's desperate marketing ploy. (See
"Tom and Nicole doing it!")
Tom and Nicole not doing it, elaborating the forbearance required in
marriage by which sexual intimacy gives way to trust. That's a strange,
alienating theme for today's film audience–for adult moviegoers perhaps
more so than young. Teens have little concept of the necessity of fidelity and
older viewers, by now, expect new movies to distract them from such worrisome
comfortable with the insubstantial marital comedy in The Story of Us,
which dares no discomforting view of relationships but presumes the comedy of
marriage must be insipid. It asks that audiences recognize themselves in a contrived
pre-divorce plot about nothing (cutesy breakup threats), while Kubrick dredged
up the sorrow and anguish that precipitate marital discord. The most alarming
joke in Eyes Wide Shut was in how powerfully the old virtues exert themselves
on a young, pretty, rich, desirable couple's conscience; the joking lie
in The Story of Us suggests marriage is soured by nothing more than minor
Pfeiffer are crinkled versions of the Tom-Nicole kewpie doll couple. Kubrick
could have made good use of their implicit experience and maturity but director
Rob Reiner devalues them. Willis plays a tv writer and Pfeiffer creates newspaper
crossword puzzles. They have the perfect number of kids (a boy and a girl) and
a comfortable lifestyle that unaccountably bores them. Something might have
sparked had Cruise and Kidman played these cutouts–perhaps a parody of
Ideal Marriage as represented by mannequin performers. Instead, something worse
occurs: Reiner traps Willis and Pfeiffer–traps us–in a series of tit-for-tat
sketches that resemble no genuine husband-wife conflicts but turns marital unease
into frivolity. What's supposed to be a partnership gets worn down by the
wife's exasperation with the husband's lack of organization and the
husband's fretful response to her gripes. These dilemmas disguise any real
problem. A universe away from Kubrick's marital hell, The Story of Us
flirts with how little marriage means in Hollywood.
screwball genre that Reiner initiated with Nora Ephron with the dreadful 1989
When Harry Met Sally. Its most recent declension, You've Got
Mail, was abominable mainly because Ephron seemed unconscious of any human
fidelity. Her trite plot blithely dispatched the two relationships that protagonists
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan had previously established. She was like a car dealer
encouraging new-model trade-ins. None of the relationships was dramatized with
any gravity beyond a sitcom's. Ephron and Reiner's inanity, using
jokes and old standards to substitute for emotional expression, was normalized
by the successive popularity of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in
Seattle and even such maddening spinoffs as Billy Crystal's Forget
Paris. We weren't meant to recognize that the concept of relationships
in these movies was aberrant, insensitive and made sense only to a culture of
disposable partners. It's not guilt-free, late-20th-century America these
films expressed, but Hollywood where "alienation of affection" is
as common and deceitful a euphemism as "creative differences."
(unconvincingly) assumes the shape of universal sentiment. In last year's
What Dreams May Come, all the otherworldly furbelows and funereal grandeur
covered up a convenient rationale for wrecked families and ruined marriages
that Robin Williams' ambitious doctor character had left behind. The
Story of Us attempts a similar con by having Willis and Pfeiffer narrate
their marital woes in the style of the elderly couples in When Harry Met
Sally, and then pass off their superficial worries–and even more superficial
resolution–as common to everyone. This mendacity should be offensive to
all because it falsifies the delicate balance of desires and frustrations that
a relationship must withstand. Reiner even redoes the Citizen Kane marriage
montage–twice, oafishly (with Pfeiffer rasping "fuck me, fuck me").
All Reiner and Ephron accomplish (although The Story of Us was written
by Alan Zweibel and Jessie Nelson) is falsehood. The succession of these films
doesn't enlighten; they merely familiarize us with tactics of evasion.
Stupid viewers mistake it for the truth (or the fun) of personal situations–fidelity
to sitcom phoniness that also explains praise for American Beauty.
estrange The Story of Us that the film itself is less interesting than
the ideological means that produced it. You can see it as, partially, a Hollywood
liberal apologia for the Clinton marital troubles. Therapists are touted as
cultural necessities and best-friend dialogue advises "amending the Ten
Commandments" to accommodate the inevitability of adultery. There's
even an analysis of a couple that "stayed together too long in a bad marriage."
(Note how that sentence emphasizes duration over commitment.) When Willis and
Pfeiffer repair to Venice to restart their love, they are hounded by a fat,
boorish American couple, themselves divorcees–caricatured not for their
covetousness but their un-Hollywood style. (Although style's a joke in
a Rob Reiner film. His direction may be smoother than Ephron's, but it's
still crude. He lets Pfeiffer acts as if she had no costar in a scene, and the
movie's one potentially surefire setpiece–Willis and Pfeiffer arguing
in a king-size bed with each pair of parents egging them on–is unimaginatively
edited and lacks verbal invention.) With such clumsiness, The Story of Us
develops no husband-wife intimacy and all its confessional talk is merely cant.
may remind those with movie memories of Paul Mazursky's Blume in Love
where George Segal and wife made up in the Piazza San Marco. Critics, of course,
don't remember. They didn't catch the poignancy of Kubrick's
reference to Mazursky's film (a sophisticated 70s consideration of guilt
and temptation). Possibly, that's because critics don't know cinema
history but more likely it shows that our Clinton culture lacks the seriousness
about marriage that prevailed even during the sexual revolution. Kubrick and
Mazursky expose Reiner and Ephron as moral midgets.
in The Story of Us except the individuals' Hollywoodish ego satisfaction,
yet trashing the movie simply for its formulaic routines avoids what's
disgraceful and harmful about its attitudes. Reiner-Ephron's trifling consideration
of marriage oversimplifies excuses for divorce and/or fidelity. Eyes Wide
Shut goes disturbingly deeper; it's about jealousy, suspicion, lust,
fear, guilt. Each situation that Cruise and Kidman face–in reality or in
their own imaginings–tempts them and those feelings carry a weight too
easily dismissed as antiquated or based in outmoded ideas of marriage. Kubrick
gives visual expression to the tension of a mate's weakening promise, the
dizzying possibilities of individual sexual license. Even the controversial
orgy sequence is more daring than contemporary pseudo-orgiasts will admit. Kubrick's
insistence on masks and ritual (not at all limited to black mass motifs but
evoking styles of distanced, abstract-art emotions and staged performance) subtly
insists that sexual identity is also culturally constructed. Cruise doesn't
witness a liberated revelation of libidos but a different gathering of additional,
anonymous social roles. Sex without intimacy is still the most frightening–and
the most comic ("Strangers in the Night" floats like elevator music
in the orgy's anterooms).
through Cruise's jealousy, suspicion, lust, fear and guilt can only be
disregarded if one also denies the feelings concomitant with intimacy. This
makes Eyes Wide Shut irreducible even with its disastrously cast lead
roles. The powerful effect of sexual fantasy on home life and street life has
rarely been conveyed with such nightmarish clarity. Kubrick's title alludes
to the imaginative process: those bedeviling thoughts that cannot be "unseen"
but lead to compulsive behavior, dissatisfaction or, when spoken out, shame.
Satirists like Reiner and Ephron never attach fear and guilt to their breakup/makeup
comedies. Their characters speak out carelessly as if the movie screen were
an analyst's couch. Hollywood's fraudulence keeps audiences jolly
by staving off self-doubt and regret, as if the filmmakers never felt temptation
or a serious thought.
again with Random Hearts. Complaints that its timorous soap opera of
adultery wasn't sudsy enough suggested narrow minds shut. These same critics
weren't ready to accept the dilemma that piqued Kubrick's interest
for more than 25 years since he first read Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle
or the trouble that plagued him over three different marriages. (They took refuge
in arguing Schnitzler over Kubrick, as if film were subservient to literature.)
It's apparent that Kubrick's moral response must have changed Random
Hearts director Sydney Pollack, inspiring his most affecting craftsmanship
this decade. After working on Eyes Wide Shut, playing the complicit philanderer
who explains (threatens) the ordinary trouble of Cruise's wanderings, Pollack
deepened Random Hearts' conventional study of infidelity into a
examination of pain. Embodying cynicism for Kubrick, Pollack was like an unrepentant
Hollywood roue–a sharper portrait than the political adviser he plays to
Kristin Scott Thomas' congresswoman in Random Hearts. But there's
more than Clinton-era cynicism in Random Hearts' many parallels
to the contemporary invasion of politicians' private lives. Pollack uses
the congresswoman's embarrassment over her late husband's adultery
to probe exactly the kind of suffering that Kubrick confronted–it devastates
both the cheated-on congresswoman and her interaction with a Washington, DC,
internal affairs cop (Harrison Ford)–another betrayed mate.
study of trouble in paradise (the spouses of two adulterers meet and surrender
to temptation) is simpler than Eyes Wide Shut; it has an almost French
ingenuity (and master cinematographer Philippe Rousselot gets a powdery pastel
look to match Pollack's almost Claude Sautet pacing). Too much Hollywood
convention gets in the way of delicately sustained moods, and Dave Grusin's
excruciating score cheapens what's at stake–it's mere make-out
music for a movie about adults trying to work out their ravaged sensitivities.
Yet despite numerous crudities, parts of Random Hearts ring eerily true–as
moral reminders (like that lone, vibrating piano chord accompanying Cruise's
embarrassment in Eyes Wide Shut). The Saks Fifth Avenue workers saddened
by Ford's humiliation then indifferent to it match Scott Thomas' friend
who laments, "If romance, that part of life, was over, I'd feel old."
They show a new immorality that Kubrick disavowed but that Pollack rightly perceives
as a contemporary terror. Such pop-craftsman instincts (including Ford contributing
to the congresswoman's reelection campaign without asking about her politics)
is part of what distinguishes Pollack's enlightened facility from Kubrick's
eccentric profundity.
investigation of their exes' old haunts feels as pathological as Cruise's
return to the scenes of his temptation but it's both voyeuristic and narcissistic,
an eyes-wide-shut unfolding of hurt. Their visit to Miami's Club La Roca,
watching a hot couple tango, recalls the marital panic in La Notte's
nightclub scene–the simulated nasty triggers spiritual despair in a spangly
setting. Another good, oblique moment features a pan through Ford's empty
kitchen where a dripping faucet recalls a final connubial breakfast, a loss
of life and trust. That's Pollack's most Kubrickian scene; it imparts
a metaphysical aura to marriage and memory that returns in the final dramatic
confrontation where the misfit mourners/consolers (not really lovers) argue
over the bagged-up refuse of their broken feelings.
movie title since Excess Baggage, Random Hearts seriously contemplates
the change of life habit that results from exposed adultery–an issue so
common it makes the inanity of The Story of Us appear credible while
the revelatory Eyes Wide Shut remains imperceptible to many. What good
is movie art if it doesn't address experience credibly or felicitously?
How stupid has movie culture become if audiences and critics can't tell
the difference? In the upcoming Being John Malkovich marriage and dissatisfaction
are again central issues. Next week I'll review how Spike Jonze tweaks
and honors Kubrick (and Tim Burton and David Lynch and Terry Gilliam) simultaneously.

Topic - UKC Fit Club 288
grubes - on 23 Sep 2012
I have to say this is probably the best week to do fit club becasue so many people have done so much.
UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Link to last week's (287) thread:
Si dH - Well done on Robert Brown. Still not been to high tor. Did you get on lyme crime this week?

I believe the name of this child, John, may be hypothetical, but he probably did exist. According to Dutch naming customs, Jean and Maria's first son should have been named "John" if the grandfather was also named "Jean." As far as I've seen, the only time a "John" has been listed as one of Jean and Maria's children was in an article from the May or July 1989 Sebring Newsletter. No source for this name was given there. It was in an outline giving the names of Jean and Maria's children.
Someone has mentioned information about a John Bodine who was a brother of the Sarah Bodine who married John Van Meter. He was referred to as the John Bodine of Raritan Landing. I wonder if this is not referring to John's father. The information went on to say that John also had been a trader and was probably as associate of John Van Metre, Sr. in his Indian adventures." For more information, see the "Somerset County Historical Quarterly," 1916, p. 122 and Colonial Archives of NJ, 1st Series, XXX, p. 151.
I was wondering if this John Bodine might not be the real father of the Abraham Bodine who married Mary Low. I did have that Abraham's father listed as Isaac Bodine, this John's brother. However, Dutch naming patterns point more to Abraham's parents being named John and Mary. My best guess is that this John is the father of the Abraham Bodine who married Mary Low and that this John's wife had to be a woman named Mary. This is all highly speculative, but it makes sense. I will go with that for now.
In the book History of the West Branch Valley, p. 522, it says that Abraham Bodine was the son of of a John Bodine who in 1727 was living on his plantation west of the North Branch of the Raritan, known as No. 67 in the "Elizabeth Town Bill in Chancery." I believe this is correct. The big question is this: Who was that John Bodine? I think it was this John Bodine, the son of John Bodine and Maria Crocheron.
Below is a picture of many of the lot numbers mentioned in the Elizabeth Town Bill of Chancery. I believe I could see where No. 67 was, but I'm not sure. Whatever the case, it is somewhere around there since it is "west of the North Branch of the Raritan." This image came from somewhere on the Internet, but I have forgotten now where that was.
In his will, Abraham (the probable son of this John) mentions his "Dutch Bible." This could be important. It might show that this Bodine line was much more Dutch than they were, for example, French.

Subject: [D-Col] Page 3 of the 1706 to 1709 Staten Island Census records
Here is page 3 and I have tried to make some order to this page. Now I have
mentioned serveral Wills that I have posted earlier and if someone needs them
let me know. A lot of these families on this page connect in one way or
another. Some of the single men and women may have been working for the
different families at the time. As I don't reconized a lot of the single
names. Now remember these are mainly some of my thoughts and if you don't
want to read them then don't, but some times it helps to have something to
prove right or wrong.
Good luck

Stuart Alexander35 3 1 Man
Stuart Catherine 3 1 Woman
Alexander Stewart was listed on the St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal Church
Charter usually know as "Queen Anne's Charter," dated 12 June 1713.
Marlett Joseph 24 3 2 Man
Brittin Joseph 40 3 3 Man
Brittin Elizabeth 3 3 Woman
This was the Joseph Brittain that was baptized 14 July 1678 when he was 9
years old to William Brittain and his wife Maria ? (David Voorhees Flatbush
records, page 387). It looks like his wife was Elizabeth and they had a son,
James baptized 23 Apr 1707 St Andrew RDC, Staten Island. So from this lack of
a child listed we can say the they were counted in the census prior to April
1707. Now the wit to the baptism of James was James Hanszen and wife. Now I
wonder if Jospeh's wife wasn't Elizabeth Hanszen. And the family listed on
page 1 of this census listed below, wasn't the family of Elizabeth? This is
just based on the baptism records of 1707 and no other proof.

This could be Thomas Walton and his wife Martha Stillwell (daughter of

being the brother of William Walton who married Maria Sandfort of New York,
but not certain of that. Rebecca could be a sister of Thomas.
Van Clief Hanis 26 3 9 Man
Van Clief Ram 27 3 10 Man
Rem and Hanis (John) Van Cleef are most likely the children of Jan Cornelis

The Stillwells are all mixed up on this page and it is hard to figure them
out. Now Jeremiah Stillwell, who was listed on this page as #20, was married
to a Rebecca (Ashton?). and also John Stillwell, who was listed on this page
as #37 and was married also to a Rebecca (Throckmorton). There were lots of
Mary Stillwells and also wives that were named Mary.
Comons William 34 3 14 Man

Hannah Fonteyn may be the wife of #36, Vincent Fonteyn on this page. He was

it has been posted on this site prior.
Colerich Peter 19 3 16 Man
Lackerman Catherine 3 16 Woman
Adriance Gazen 25 3 17 Man
This is Gozen Adriaense Ryerson, who was married to Femmetje Vanderbilt,
daughter of Aris J. Vanderbilt and Hildegonde Remsen. Now Femmetje
Vanderbilt's sisters, Annetje, who married Isaac Simonson (#40 on this page)
and Jannetje Vanderbilt, who was married to Isaacbrandt Van Cleef (#39 on
this page). Now I don't know why none of their wives were not listed on this
census. My only thoughts on that would be that they were not married at this
time, but were married shortly after the census. There are no Vanderbilts
listed on this census at all, so they may have been living someplace else.
Vantyll Sarah 3 18 Woman

Brittain and Mary (Chamberlain?)
Stilwell Jeremiah 25 3 20 Man
Stilwell Martha 3 20 Woman
Stilwell Gersham 23 3 21 Man
Stilwell Rachel 3 21 Woman
Martha is most likely the widow of Thomas who died in 1705. Rachel could be
her daughter, who later married William Brittain. I am not sure on Jeremiah
and Gersham. They could be the sons of Thomas Stillwell's brother, Jeremiah
Stillwell, but have no proof and that may be going to far to say that.
Johnston Anne 3 22 Woman

Derna Jacob 30 3 23 Man

This may be the Nicholas Brittain who was married to Frances Stillwell
daughter of Thomas Stillwell (who died about 1705) and Martha Billou. It
seems like this group of Brittain and Stillwells go together. Nicholas and
Benjamin baptisms were listed in the Flatbush Church Records by David

Ann emailed me and brought to my attention this group of men above. The John
Bedyne (Bodine), Abraham Lackerman, James Poillon Sr., James Poilon, Jr.,
Richard Mitchell, Hans Lawrence and have a connection in that they were
connected to the the Will of John Bodine of 11 Feb. 1695. The inventory was
taken on that date. Now Rihcard Mitchell, hans Louvens (Lawrence) and Abraham
Loconers (Lackerman) sworn to on that date that the inventory was correct.
Ann goes on to explain the connections
"There was a John Bodine that died in 1694/5 when Paulus Richards was
appointed to administer his estate. The inventory of this estate was sworn
to by Richard Michell, Hans Louvens and Abraham Laconers in February of 1695.
The John Bedyne here I would think might be his grandson?
My notes is that this John Bodine was the son of John Bodine and Maria
Crocheron, who were married 11 Jan. 1680 at Midwoud (David Voorhees Flatbush
Records). And Jacque Poillon was married to Adrianna Crocheron. Later, by
1720, he marries (3rd) a Judith Bodine, daughter of John Bodine. I feel she
belongs to the John Bodine. (Now Jacque Poillon's two sons James and John are
listed above James as #49 and John and his wife Sarah Lake as #2 & 4. And you
will also find Jacques Poillon's daughter Katharine's, husband Samuel Osborn
listed as #50. (now I don't know why Katharine Poillon wasn't listed),
Abraham Lackerman was married to Catherine Crocheron (and later another wife)
and also had children. Yet the census also lists him as a (cuts off here).
From Ronny Bodine:
In the book History of the West Branch Valley, p. 522, it says that Abraham Bodine was the son of of a John Bodine who in 1727 was living on his plantation west of the North Branch of the Raritan, known as No. 67 in the "Elizabeth Town Bill in Chancery." I believe this is correct. The big question is this: Who was that John Bodine? I think it was this John Bodine, the son of John Bodine and Maria Crocheron.
No one else names this John as a son of John and Maria except in Snell and his copyists. But if he were living in 1727 on the family plantation would he not better be identical with Jan (=John), son of Isaac Bodine who was bapt. 19 Oct 1703 and thus was 24 at this time and a perfect candidate?

RIOU Launches Landmark International Course
RIOU's Brand Building and Communications Programme to break new ground in Olympic education
Sochi, Russia, 2 September 2011: The Russian International Olympic University (RIOU) in Sochi today announced its first ever international course – a pioneering Brand Building and Communications Programme set to become one of the world's leading Olympic-oriented education programmes for sports managers when it launches this November.
RIOU issued a global call for applications for the course today, targeting sports organisations aspiring to the very highest echelons of world sport. The course will run from 14 to 25 November 2011 at the institution's headquarters in the next Winter Games host city. The innovative 10-day programme will be delivered in conjunction with one of the sports industry's most respected brand building and communications experts, Jon Tibbs. The team of renowned guest lecturers will also include leading experts from Russia, as well as top BBC broadcaster, David Eades, and sports journalist and IOC Press Commission member, Alan Abrahamson.
Professor Lev Belousov, Chief Executive Officer of RIOU, outlined the motivation behind putting together this unique course:
'In the current climate, sports organisations are finding it more and more difficult to win the share of voice they need, to interact effectively with stakeholders and key audiences. A coherent brand architecture and sophisticated communications strategy are now more important than ever before. Our Brand Building and Communications Programme will help organisations from all over the world and in every sphere of sport meet that pressing need.'
The first week of the course will centre on why behaving like a brand and professionalising communications is a vital step for every ambitious sports organisation, alongside the core principles of brand building and media relations. The second week will have a more practical focus and address topics including communication strategies, issues management, media training, social media and evaluation techniques.
Jon Tibbs, whose agency JTA is working with RIOU to develop the course's cutting edge content, emphasised what sets this programme apart:
'I am convinced that this Brand Building and Communications Programme will deliver real, tangible value to sports organisations. Delegates will benefit from hands-on, highly interactive classroom sessions, lectures, debates and case studies, and the invaluable expertise of some of the world's top specialists. JTA is honoured to be a part of this historic moment in RIOU's history – it's first ever international course – and I'm sure this partnership can help us raise the bar for brand building and communications across the sports industry.'
The deadline for applications is 15 October 2011. To request an application pack or for more information, please contact email@example.com.
RIOU has the full backing of the Russian Olympic Committee and its President, Alexander Zhukov, and the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee and its President and CEO, Dmitry Chernyshenko. It was officially established on 21 October 2009, under the auspices of the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee, the Russian Olympic Committee, the Russian Federal Government, represented by the Ministry of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy and the holding company Interros. Russia's Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, is Chair of RIOU's Board of Trustees. Further information on RIOU is available at the unique institution's website.
RIOU's mission is to deliver the professional training of management resources for the sports industry in Russia and worldwide, and for the Olympic and Paralympic Movements. RIOU will offer programmes ranging from 10-day short courses to PhD level, in a range of disciplines under the Olympic Games Management umbrella, including: Media, Events, Careers, Governance and Venues.

My new-to-me artist of the day is Sveta Dorosheva, of Israel.
Though born in Ukraine, Sveta Dorosheva currently resides in Israel with her husband and two sons. She has worked as as an interpreter, copywriter, designer (be certain to peek at her Incredible Hats or Fashionista portfolios!), art director and creative director in advertising. Dorosheva recently spoke to Coilhouse about her lifelong love of fairy tales, and her inspired, imaginative new project, The Nenuphar Book, which will be published in Russia this autumn.
Sveta, on her influences:
"I am heavily influenced by fairy tales and mythology. Even in adulthood I am most fascinated with things magical, mysterious and fantastic: medieval emblemata and bestiaries, weird and kooky sciences, antique circus, eccentric personalities, odd books and creatures, etc.
When a child I had very weak health and spent a lot of time in bed covered with mustard leaves or cupping-glasses. Dad read me a lot of fairy tales. As an immediate result, I was the best storyteller in the yard and kinder garden. Nannies loved me. They would put me in front of other kids to retell scary fairy tales (I loved them scary, the didactic tales I would just forget – they were 'nuisance wisdom') and attend to their own business for a couple of hours."

A Michigan school district that says it can't afford to pay its teachers will remain closed for a second day Wednesday after laying off staff because of a loss of state funds.
The Buena Vista School District is in Saginaw County just outside of Saginaw. It cancelled classes Tuesday and held a community meeting Tuesday evening attended by about 100 people.
Afterward, MLive.com reports school board President Randy L. Jackson said classes also are off at least through Wednesday. The board meets Thursday evening.
The Michigan Education Association says the board voted Monday to lay off employees.
The union says the 27 teachers were willing to work this week anyway, but Jackson says that would have presented legal issues.
The district announced last week it couldn't make payroll May 24.
