2014-12-19CAMP Montenegro Final conference: a New Swing for Sustainable Coastal Development
At this high level meeting, Mr. Gvozdenoviæ, Minister of Sustainable Development and Tourism, pointed out that the implementation of the CAMP Montenegro improved the national policy for sustainable development, urban planning and environmental protection, and provided a significant contribution to the strengthening of the capacity for implementation of international (including EU) policies and regulations. Mr. Leone, UNEP/MAP Co-ordinator, thanked the Government of Montenegro for the support provided and significant efforts engaged in implementation of this important project. He also expressed particular satisfaction with the fact that Montenegro follows the path of sustainable development.
It was agreed that, in the framework of the CAMP Montenegro, an extraordinary work has been done that helped understand transformation processes and prioritise pressures in the coastal areas. The results will be aimed at controlling and reducing pressures on coastal environment, mainly through the implementation of the National ICZM Strategy as well as the Coastal Area Spatial Plan that shall soon be adopted by the Government.The Final CAMP Conference marked the end of the extraordinary project experience. But the results achieved are not an end in itself but rather they present the way forward in the coming period.UNEP/MAP would like to thank all the national institutions and experts that contributed to the successful realisation of the CAMP project and in particular the General Co-ordinator, Ms. Jelena Kneževiæ.
2014-12-15PAP at 2014 Think Forward Film Festival in Venice
A short animated movie "A good climate for change" produced by PAP/RAC (in co-operation with BONOBO Studio Zagreb, Croatia) for the 2014 Mediterranean Coast Day was screened during the 2014 Think Forward Film Festival (TFFF), on 12 and 13 December. The movie was officially launched on the occasion of the central regional celebration of the Mediterranean Coast Day in Tunisia which was organised in the frame of the MedPartnership project.
The TFFF is a project of the International Centre for Climate Governance, a joint initiative of Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei and Fondazione Giorgio Cini, now an internationally renowned centre whose research activities focus on the design of climate policy and governance. "Consumer choices we bring to our table" is the theme of the 2014 TFFF.

2014-11-18GIS for Šibenik-Knin County
In the framework of the definition of the ICZM Plan for the Šibenik-Knin County, the first round of professional training courses on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was held in Šibenik, on November 18. A group of professionals representing the Šibenik-Knin County administration and PAP/RAC (13 people in total) attended this training course led by Martina Bauèiæ, GIS expert and PAP/RAC consultant to the realisation of the ICZM Plan for the Šibenik-Knin County.
The aim of this training course was to make the experts familiar with the use of the open source software: Quantum GIS (QGIS). The Worldwide QGIS is today a key tool in terms of providing a decision-making support to spatial management, and therefore it is an unavoidable tool in the coastal zone management.

2014-11-17Kick-off of CAMP Italy
The Inception Conference for the CAMP Italy project took place in the premises of the Regional park of Porto Conte in Alghero, Sardinia, on 12 November 2014. Representatives of all the three Italian regions participating in the project, namely, Emilia Romagna, Sardinia and Toscana, as well as representatives of different authorities and MAP components (INFO/RAC and PAP/RAC) attended the meeting. The morning session was chaired by Mr. G. Leone, MAP Co-ordinator, who emphasised the importance of the CAMP for the Mediterranean region and its role for the implementation of the Barcelona Convention and its protocols, in particular the ICZM Protocol. The participants were also addressed by the ex-CAMPs' co-ordinators who underlined the elements of major importance for the implementation of the CAMP which were given by a virtual means from Montenegro, Morocco, Slovenia and Spain.
This event was the opportunity to present the CAMP Italy project, its objectives, activities and expected results. The partners from the involved regions introduced the horizontal activities that involve co-ordination and dissemination, capacity building, data collection and management and institutional co-ordination and public participation, as well as the individual activities for all the five project areas. The project is important not only for solving of the immediate problems of coastal areas of the three involved regions but for its contribution to the national level as well. Moreover, this project is also meant to enhance networking with other CAMPs and provide an excellent opportunity for all MAP components to work closely during its implementation. The projects is envisaged to be concluded by early summer 2016. For a regularly update on the project implementation, please, consult the web site: www.camp-italy.org .
2014-11-12Closure of Coastgap
Within the framework of the Mediterranean co-operation days the Final Conference of the Coastgap project, which was organised by the Lazio region, took place in Rome, on 11 November 2014. The objective of the project was to capitalise on the best practices in climate change adaptation to produce governance and adaptation policies in order to reduce risk along the coastal zones and foster sustainable development. One of the best practices included also the results of the Shape project and outputs produced by PAP/RAC and its partners, such as those related to the implementation of the ICZM Protocol and Article 8 on the definition of the setback zone in particular. The morning sessions were devoted to MSP and blue growth scenarios in the Mediterranean, and to discussions on perspectives for the implementation of the Joint Action Plan – Developing conditions for sustainable growth in the Mediterranean.
PAP/RAC had a role of the project External Quality Advisor and contributed already during the project implementation phase by participating to the Coastgap meetings, and by providing an Audit report of all the activities implemented within the project framework. At the conference PAP/RAC major results of the Audit report as well as perspectives for the future co-operation in the Mediterranean were presented in the morning session. The afternoon was devoted to the workshops and the presentations and discussions on the Joint Action Plan proposals. The presentation on Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol, i.e. the implementation of the setback zone was given at the workshop on "Sustainable use of strategic resources for the blue growth of the Med coasts". The contributions of PAP/RAC were well received and enriched substantially the conference programme.
2014-11-10MedPartnership Co-ordination Group met in Barcelona
The Co-ordination Group of the MedPartnership project held its 6th meeting in Barcelona on 4 - 5 November 2014. Coming to an end in December 2015, the project has implemented almost 80% of its foreseen activities. "We are very proud of our achievements", said Lorenzo Galbiati, the project manager. "This is a huge progress thanks to the efforts of all partners and national experts", he added.
Representatives of the executing partners presented the progress of their activities within the four components of the project. The group also drew a clear roadmap with well defined steps for achieving the project's goals and ensuring its successful completion in the months to come.
A complete session was also dedicated to the sister project on climate variability and change. The progress of activities was presented along with the regional framework, which is going to be developed through a consultation process. The framework will be submitted to CoP 19 for approval. "The framework aims to outline a common strategy for Mediterranean countries to address the impacts of climate change", said Tassos Kromidas, MedPartnership climate change and variability consultant.
Participants to the meeting took also time to brainstorm on the future project's activities. Meanwhile, the GEF 6 new strategy was presented to set a frame for the future project. The closing of the meeting was around planning the next Steering Committee meeting towards the closure of the project. "This project is an important initiative for the fact that it widened the collaboration platform on working «Together for the Mediterranean" for the benefit of the Countries and coastal and marine ecosystems", said Daria Povh from PAP/RAC.
2014-11-03EuroMED Co-operation: PAP/RAC is in!
The PAP/RAC Director was given the chance to deliver the key note speech at one of the four parallel thematic workshops held during this two-day Conference: the one on a Mediterranean integrated ocean observing system to support sustainable coastal and marine tourism. That was another occasion to underline the importance and role of tourism within ICZM as well as the usefulness of the ICZM principles and tools for reaching the objectives of sustainable tourism as defined by UNEP and UNWTO. The conference provided a unique opportunity for the European and non-European scientific communities, national and international policy-makers, inter-governmental bodies and relevant stakeholders from private sector to discuss an innovative issue and identify key societal challenges and research priorities with regard to inland and marine water, with particular regard to the enhancement of the Euro-Mediterranean co-operation.

2014-10-13Visit of Jordanian MSP experts
The Gulf of Aqaba is the only exit of Jordan to the sea and its area is characterised by high concentration of population and tourism facilities and, above all, several ports that serve Jordan as well as a number of neighbouring countries. In addition, the Gulf of Aqaba is a biodiversity hot spot containg highly valuable coral reef areas. Although parts of the area are protected as Jordan's only Marine National Park, the coral reefs extend throughout the entire 27 km of the Jordanian coast, its existence often being endangered by other activities.
The GEF project aims, among other, to prepare a Marine Spatial Plan which will harmonize numerous activities in its restricted marine area of 96 km2. The experts discussed the methodology of the preparation of marine spatial plans, its benefits and expected results. During the visit, the Jordanian experts visitied several localities in Croatia where similar coastal and marine management problems exist.
2014-10-01September 25, it is the Coast Day!
This year the Mediterranean Coast Day was celebrated on September 25 at Gammarth, Tunisia, with focus on climate variability and change. Unusually for this time of the year, it was raining. Was it a sign of climate change? Whatever the answer, it was indeed "a good climate for change"!
In the morning, more than 150 people, coming from Tunisia and abroad, gathered in the conference hall of the "Ramada Plaza" Hotel. The audience was varied, with representatives from foreign ministries, international organisations, national and local authorities, NGOs, research institutes. Several important personalities stood on the stage in order to pass some key messages to the audience, ranging from the importance to share with your friends the need to protect the coastal zone, to the necessity of strengthening co-operation on the issue of climate variability and change. In his address, H.E. Mr. Mounir Majdoub, the Tunisian Secretary of State for Sustainable Development, recapitulated the main risks Tunisia is facing due to climate change: droughts, floods, sea level rise, soil degradation, etc. He pleaded for new policies to cope with those challenges, for policies in line with technological progress and adapted to ecosystems, and insisted on the need to strengthen international co-operation and secure necessary funds to invest in this critical area. Later in the morning, Mr. Anil Markandya, Scientific Director of the Basque Institute for Climate, received from Mr. Majdoub and Ms. Željka Škarièiæ, PAP/RAC Director, the certificate of Ambassador of the Coast 2014. This prise honours every year a person that inspires, through his or her work and engagement, the people from the Mediterranean and beyond, to better understand, protect and respect the coasts and their environment.
In the afternoon, the main event was an association forum on integrated coastal zone management. More than 20 associations, NGOs and international organisations (e.g. SPA/RAC, PAP/RAC – MedPartnership) presented their work. The forum was a great success, with about 250 visitors who had the opportunity to discover a wide range of actors that are involved in the protection of the Tunisian coasts, their people, culture, economy and environment. The Coast Day 2014 was closed with a cocktail party during which award was given to the winner of the children's coastal photo competition.
During the celebration we projected the short animated movie "A good climate for change", prepared for this year's Coast Day, which is the best day to raise awareness about the ecological issues shared by all the Mediterranean countries. Climate changes are already happening, it is time to adapt. We should also put a stop to all what is affecting the climate and our environment in a harmful way.

2014-09-30Coast Day in Montenegro
The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism of Montenegro and the Public Enterprise for Management of the Maritime Domain joined efforts to mark the Mediterranean Coast Day with the main objective of raising awareness of the value of the coast and education of school children on the importance of coastal zone protection. Educational workshops were organised at an elementary school in Podgorica and one in Budva, while "Coast Day" educational posters and other promotional materials were distributed at elementary and high schools in Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Budva, Bar, Ulcinj, Cetinje and Podgorica.
In the educational workshops the pupils were shown short films dealing with environmental protection, effects of climate change and values of the coast. Representatives of relevant institutions made presentations on the importance of the sea as both natural and socio-economic resource, on the need to protect the environment, on the effects of climate change and the responsibility of the society as a whole. The main objective was stimulating those young people to get actively involved in environmental protection initiatives.
Continuing the tradition of preparing educational posters for the Coast Day, this year the Public Enterprise for Management of the Maritime Domain, in co-operation with the Institute of Marine Biology of Kotor, prepared a poster dealing with "Jellyfish of the Mediterranean". As with all the earlier posters dealing with various marine environment related topics, the objective of this year's poster was to sensitize school children to issues important for coastal zone preservation.
2014-09-22Šibenik celebrates Coast Day 2014
On Friday, September 19, the event was organised at the Šibenik waterfront. Already in the morning a fair of local eco-produce and traditional arts and crafts was opened. The official programme began at 10:30 a.m. with brief welcome addresses by PAP/RAC Director, the Mayor of Šibenik and the Prefect of the Šibenik-Knin County. This was followed by sketches performed by children of all ages, from early kindergarten to high school. Students from two high schools, one from Split and one from Šibenik, made a presentation about climate changes and variability starting with the global level, down to the level of the Adriatic Sea and ending at the level of the Šibenik-Knin County. While the programme was going on on the land, the near-by sailing club organised a regatta for their juniors. The programme finished at noon when a number of workshops were organised for the children, from presentation of a traditional sailing boat by a 77 year old mariner, over watercolour painting to making toys from waste. All the participants in the programme were given certificates prepared by the County and symbolic gifts. Our Centre used the opportunity to promote its work and the activities of the MedPartnership project, and distributed some promotional materials prepared for the occasion.
2014-09-18Shipping towards MSP
PAP/RAC participated in the 3rd European Ports & Shipping Conference which took place on 18 and 19 September in Amsterdam. This two-day international conference brought together the ports, logistics and shipping companies together with policy makers and academia to discuss development strategies for ports and shipping sector.
PAP/RAC presented the ICZM policy framework that could play a significant role in strategic planning for ports and shipping industry. In addition, the relevance of the ICZM Protocol in the Mediterranean and the EU, legal and practical links of MSP and ICZM, as well as reflections of MSP in the ICZM Protocol have been highlighted. Considering the important mandate PAP/RAC has for applying MSP in the Mediterranean, this conference could be considered as a useful entrance towards enhancing links with maritime business sector.
2014-09-17Tourism in the focus of the European Parliamentarians
At the invitation of the Chairman of the Committee on Tourism of the Croatian Parliament, the PAP/RAC Director attended the Conference on behalf of UNEP/MAP. She was given the opportunity to speak about the pressures made by tourism on the Mediterranean coastal and marine environment and to propose a new approach to the strategic planning of sustainable tourism development that, when it comes to the coastal zones, can largely benefit from the principles, methods and tools promoted by ICZM.
2014-09-05CAMP Var project signed!
Supported by the Priority Actions Programme Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC), the CAMP Var project was initiated following an official request from the President of the General Council of Var to be an extension of the County's Sea and Coastal Scheme and bring, in an international framework, additional expertise and analysis. This project will also support the implementation of integrated management approach at the local level through pilot approaches and application of internationally accepted methodologies. In addition, the CAMP aims to study the gradual creation of a system of "sea-coast" governance that should be linked with the existing management initiatives in the space between land and sea in the Var County (Natura 2000 in the sea, Land sites and PMD of the Conservatory of the Coast, bay-contracts, County scheme for spatial planning, Charter of the National Park of Port Cros, coastal strategic document, etc.).
The Var Coastal Area Management Programme was designed through regular contacts among the PAP/RAC, the Conservatory of the Coast (PAP/RAC's French Focal Point), the Ministries of Environment and Foreign Affairs, and associated experts such as those of the Var General Council and Rhone-Mediterranean-Corsica Water Agency, whose support is expected throughout the process.
We welcome the passage to this new level leading to the concrete phase of implementation of the Programme. A project manager will be hired soon and will support the launching of the project that is expected in the coming weeks.
2014-08-28Preparations under way for Coast Day 2014
It has become a Mediterranean tradition to celebrate the Coast Day as a good promotional tool for raising awareness of the value of the coast and of its various issues. As usually, the central regional Coast Day celebration will be organised on September 25 to honour the date when Slovenia ratified the ICZM Protocol as the first Mediterranean country to do so. This year, it will take place in Tunisia, on the coast of the gulf of Tunis, hosted by the Tunisian Ministry of Equipment, Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development. Climate variability and change and integrated coastal zone management will be the central topics of this year's celebration. The host of the official part of the celebration will be H.E. Mr. Mounir Majdoub, Tunisian Secretary of State for Sustainable Development, while the whole event will be co-organised by APAL (Agence de Protection et d'Aménagament du Littoral - Coastal Protection and Planning Agency) and PAP/RAC.
Apart from the central regional celebration, each country is invited to organise national and/or local events. So far we have been informed that celebrations will be organised in Croatia (Šibenik, September 19) and Israel (although at a later date, as on September 25 they celebrate Rosh Hashana).

2014-06-02Coast Day, ClimVar & DIVA in Tunisia
On Monday June 2, PAP/RAC discussed its co-operation with APAL on the organisation of the central regional celebration of the Coast Day 2014 to be hosted by Tunisia.
A 3-day training was organised at the Hotel le Palace in Gammarth, Tunisia, with 15 participants, climate engineers from Tunisia and Morocco and representatives of the organising institutions (UNEP-MAP, BP/RAC, PAP/RAC and GWP-Med). On the first day the participants learned how to install, configure and deploy various open-source technologies for publishing and sharing spatial data. The second day was about better understanding of spatial data visualisation, analysis, downloading in an open-source environment. UNEP-Grid experts also presented the MedCIP platform for Climate Change being developed within the project. On the 3rd day of the training a presentation was made on coastal morpho-dynamics and the participants were trained on the use of a friendly integrated software toolbox, to provide estimates on beach retreat/erosion under sea-level rise. PAP/RAC presented experiences relevant to the implementation of the Article 8 of the ICZM Protocol, particularly on the work done to provide assistance to the Mediterranean countries to implement the coastal set-back.
In the frame of the component 2 of the ClimVar project, on June 6 a meeting was organised by PAP/RAC in close co-operation with APAL to present and discuss the preliminary results to the implementation of the DIVA model in Tunisia. Twenty participants, representing national organisations, independent Tunisian experts and UNEP-MAP, Plan Bleu, GWP-Med and PAP/RAC representatives followed the presentation of the project by UNEP-MAP and PAP/RAC presentation on its activities within the ClimVar project in Croatia. These were followed by a technical presentation by the Global Climate Forum on the DIVA model, the concept behind the model and its applications so far, as well as information on the downscaling work done to run the model at the national level in Croatia and the preliminary results for the Tunisian coasts. In the ensuing lively discussion the Tunisian experts made a number of comments and showed great interest and support.
2014-05-29Webinar on ICZM & Tourism
At the invitation of UNEP/DTIE office in Paris, the PAP/RAC Director was a guest speaker at the webinar on "Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Strategic Tourism Development Planning".
The webinar took place on 28 May at 4pm (CET) and was hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism. The objective was to present UNEP's Mediterranean Action Plan (UNEP/MAP) and the Priority Actions Programme/Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC), as an example of ICZM best practices, as well as to provide information on the ICZM Protocol for the Mediterranean, demonstrating the commitment of participating countries and organisations. The importance of coastal tourism was highlighted together with an overview of its major impacts on coastal resources and coastal population. Participants also had the opportunity to learn on the relevance of approaches followed and tools used in ICZM for the strategic planning of tourism development, in particular the application of the Carrying Capacity Assessment (CCA) method.
This webinar was designed for National Cleaner Production Centres (NCPCs) interested in reinforcing their technical capacity in sustainable tourism, for destination development managers, and sustainable tourism professionals all around the world. Other participants were also welcomed.
2014-05-26Progress in ratifying the ICZM Protocol
The good news has arrived from the Israeli Focal Point for PAP/RAC: at its meeting held on 8 May 2014 the Israeli Government ratified the ICZM Protocol. This Resolution (#1588) was made in accordance with Article 19(b) of the Government Rules of Procedure.
The ICZM Protocol ratification by Israel brings the number of ratifications to 10. PAP/RAC is expecting to receiving the official notification about the ratification.
2014-05-08Managing Groundwater in Coastal Areas and SIDS
The third Groundwater Integration Dialogue on Managing Groundwater in Coastal Areas and SIDS took place on 6 – 7 May 2014 at the Mediterranean Information Office in Athens. The meeting was co-convened by the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP), the Global Water Partnership – Mediterranean (GWP Med) and the UNEP Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) in co-operation with the UNESCO/WMO International Groundwater Resources Assessment Centre (IGRAC) and the Priority Actions Programme/Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC) in the framework of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) IW:LEARN, MedPartnership and TWAP Projects. This meeting is a contribution to the International Year of Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Project managers and practitioners from relevant GEF International Waters (IW) projects, country representatives, and experts on groundwater and coastal management exchanged knowledge on issues crucial for the sustainability of coastal areas worldwide, particularly in SIDS, informed on project design of IW projects during the next GEF cycle, and fed into the implementation of on-going GEF IW coastal and LME projects. A PAP/RAC representative pointed out the importance of UNESCO-IHP, GWP and PAP/RAC co-operation within the GEF LME MedPartnership being the first project in the Mediterranean to integrate coastal aquifers into marine, coastal area and basin management and protection. To that end, a common methodology – the Integrative Methodological Framework (IMF) is being developed by the project, as well as the Integrated Management Plan for the transboundary zone of the river Buna / Bojana between Montenegro and Albania. The participants of the meeting raised great expectations of the IMF document.
2014-04-30Split students for 2014 Coast Day
The 2014 Mediterranean Coast Day celebration will have climate variability and change as its key topic. Since great importance is attributed to work with children and adolescents, PAP/RAC has started already last year collaboration with the high school "Vladimir Nazor" of Split and their advanced group in geography. After their highly successful work and presentations in last year's celebrations in both Split and Rimini, it was decided to engage them again for this year's celebration to be organised in Šibenik. It was decided that they would be joined by their colleagues from a Šibenik high school.
To introduce the issues of climate variability and change, we have asked Prof. Ivica Vilibiæ of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Split, PAP/RAC consultant in other projects, to prepare a brief presentation for the students that will be involved in the project. The presentation was held on April 29 at the school. This year, the group will be composed of 2nd year students and all but one attended the presentation, and showed great interest in the subject. Prof. Vilibiæ supplied materials for their research, and kindly offered to provide any additional information and assistance, as well as to review their results when ready.
2014-04-09Co-operation with Šibenik-Knin County in full swing
The occasion was used by the PAP/RAC staff to hold a meeting with the counterpart at the County to launch the activities on the organisation of the 2014 Coast Day celebration in Šibenik. Since this year's Coast Day will have climate variability and change (CV&C) as its main topic, it makes perfect sense to organise a celebration in Šibenik since PAP/RAC is implementing there a GEF MedPartnership project aimed at introducing the issue of CV&C into the physical planning system. It was decided that the event would be organised on Saturday, September 20, and the venue was also proposed. Each side made suggestions regarding the programme, and it was decided to start with preparatory activities as soon as possible in order to achieve a good and well prepared event.
2014-04-07Promotion of PAP and Coast Day among high-school teachers
2014-03-22Participatory workshop for identifying coastal issues
The main conclusion of the workshop was that the biggest obstacles related to extensive transformation of the agricultural to buildable land and to the lack of the cross sectoral integration, in particular between tourism and agriculture. The participants emphasised the need for a stronger valorisation and utilisation of the cultural heritage, in particular in the tourism sector, as it could be considered as one of the most important tools for the diversification of the tourism offer.
According to participants' comments, the workshop was very successful and it fulfilled their expectations. The next participatory workshop is planned for May.

2014-02-17MedPartnership commits to replicate good practices and work in synergy
The MedPartnership Steering Committee concluded its fourth meeting held in Hammamet, Tunisia, from 17 to 20 February 2014, in the presence of National Focal Points, executing partners and donors. The meeting reviewed the activities implemented under the four components of the project throughout 2012-2013 highlighting challenges and lessons learnt. Participants acknowledged the high quality results achieved by the MedPartnership in its fourth year of implementation, adopted the 2014-2015 work plan and budget, including extension of the project until the end of 2015, and noted the need to create synergies among the various activities and initiatives under the ambitious 2014-2015 work plan, with a focus on Green Economy. Countries committed to provide regular updates on national activities and to ensure the dissemination of good practices and results throughout the region. Meanwhile, they emphasized the importance of replication of good practices within the MedPartnership and agreed on the inclusion of three replication proposals in the work plan, in Croatia, Lebanon, and Tunisia.
The MedPartnership Steering Committee also served as the Steering Committee for the sister project "Integration of Climatic Variability and Change into National Strategies to Implement the ICZM Protocol in the Mediterranean". The meeting included a special session on the project, with interventions by keynote speakers that focused on the Mediterranean dimension of Climate Variability, its implications on coastal zones and the necessary adaptation and policy framework.
In addition to the revised 2014-2015 work plan and budget, participants to the meeting adopted the Inception Report, as well as the revised results framework presented in-session. They highly recommended that efforts be made to fully integrate the results and data from relevant regional and national initiatives and institutions into the Mediterranean Integrated Climate Information Platform (MedICIP).
2014-02-11Convergence of spatial plans and CAMP results
A high level meeting with representatives of the Montenegrin Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism, local governments, spatial planners and other experts took place in the premises of the Ministry in Podgorica, on 11 February 2014. The meeting, which was opened by Mr. B. Gvozdenoviæ, Minister of Sustainable Development and Tourism, was attended by 50 participants including representatives of municipalities, developers of spatial plans for coastal municipalities, ministries and other relevant institutions.
The meeting was organised after the important Governmental decision to adopt the CAMP Montenegro results by which competent departments and municipalities are obliged to implement the guidelines and findings of the CAMP into relevant coastal plans. As highlighted by the Minister, this would create necessary preconditions for improving the policy for sustainable development and environmental protection, in order to develop a system of Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Montenegro.
2014-02-06Workshop "Environmental Impact of Economic Activities"
The work was organised around two tables. One was required by the activity on Economic and Social Assessment (ESA) of the Croatian coast and sea, and designed so as to attribute quantitative values to the indicators, while the other table was descriptive. The first table was discussed in the first part of the workshop where a very open debate allowed the multidisciplinary panel to exchange opinions and contribute to this exercise on the basis of their expertise and experience. The table was slightly modified to include some additional elements identified as important, and numerical values were attributed to the impacts. The expert team will complete the table and send it to the participants for revision. Once completed, the table will be a very useful working tool for further development of the ESA study and for the strategic planning.
The afternoon session was dedicated to qualitative analysis of driving forces, pressures and impacts related to different issues important for the sustainable development of the Šibenik-Knin County coastal zone. The aim of the exercise was the definition of specific indicators related to each of the defined issues and pressures, to be used for the preparation of the ICZM Plan of the Šibenik-Knin County, as well as for a better integration and harmonisation with the Climagine results. A number of questions were raised concerning the prepared table, particularly regarding the definition of the pressures and the state of the environment. This is a very complex task and the work was just started on some elements. The participants agreed to continue collaborating on the elaboration of the table through e-mail and other means of direct communication under the guidance of the PAP/RAC team.

A workshop on ecotourism as an opportunity for sustainable development of Boka Kotorska was organised in Kotor, on 30 January to 1 February 2014, within the CAMP Montenegro. The aim of the workshop was to explore the opportunities for sustainable development of the highly vulnerable micro region of Boka Kotorska Bay in order to achieve its good environmental status. The event was organised by SCP/RAC, SPA/RAC, PAP/RAC and MEDPOL Programme in co-operation with the Ministry for Sustainable Development and Tourism of Montenegro as a contribution to the creation of a National ICZM Strategy for Montenegro. In addition to international experts in the field of ecotourism, green economy, marine and coastal ecosystems and pollution reduction, the workshop was attended by representatives of the main stakeholders, including the governmental and local authorities, potential eco-entrepreneurs, NGOs, concerned public, and university students and academics. The presentations of international experts were mainly concentrated on greening economy in Boka Kotorska.
The main objectives of this three-day workshop were to share best practices, to obtain a SWOT analysis and define actions and strategies to boost ecotourism, as well as to raise awareness of the need for the ICZM Protocol implementation in Montenegro, which was presented through the efforts undertaken so far in building the institutional, legislative and strategic set up for the Protocol's implementation. The last day of the workshop was dedicated to the multi-stakeholder round table meeting to discuss the first results of the Feasibility study on ecotourism for the local development in Boka Kotorska, and other relevant topics related to CAMP Montenegro.
2014-01-28ICZM and MSP initiatives promoted in Montenegro
At the introductory part of the workshop, the participants were informed of the results and goals of the CAMP Montenegro and the SHAPE project. After that they were presented a methodology for creating the Coastal Area Special Plan for the coastal area of Montenegro. In the second part of the workshop, the vision of sustainable development of coastal areas was presented, as well as the key problems related to ICZM in Montenegro in terms of integration of environmental objectives into sectoral policies in the context of the implementation of ICZM instruments. After the presentation of results of the expert work carried out in the framework of the CAMP Montenegro, the participants expressed the ideas and opinions during the discussion, and completed questionnaires referring to the DPSIR analysis of the key issues.
According to estimates of the participants, the workshop largely justified their expectations. Proposals and comments that were presented within the participatory process will be evaluated by the expert team and used as the input for the drafting of the National Strategy for Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Montenegro.
2014-01-27Training on ISCD for the MENA region
The Training Programme on Integrated and Sustainable Coastal Development (ISCD) has been developed within the framework of Sida's international training programmes that provides capacity building for professionals working in Sida's collaborating countries.
The programme aims at contributing to sustainable development of coastal zones. This shall be achieved through supporting processes of change in key organisations working with development and management of coastal zones. At the end of the programme each participant shall have: 1) Increased understanding of the importance and benefits of an integrated sustainable coastal planning and management for socio-economic development, with respect to environmental impact, poverty alleviation and equality, in a livelihood, security and rights perspective, 2) Increased knowledge about the planning process for an integrated sustainable coastal development, 3) Increased knowledge about experiences, methods and tools for organisational change in general and within coastal zone management in particular, and 4) Extended international and national networks for working with coastal development.
The programme targets management staff from governmental, non-governmental organisations, the media and private sector involved in developing and managing coastal areas. The ISCD training programmes for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are conducted for two years for a total of 60 participants. Each of the two training programmes consists of five phases covering a total period of 15 months including three weeks scheduled training in Sweden and two weeks in Jordan - and individual work with mentor support from training team. Each participant develops an individual project within his/her organisation or sector. This shall lead to more sustainable development of coastal areas through related activities such as strategies, working methods, tools or networks for co-operation.
NIRAS in co-operation with the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg and the Royal Marine Conservation Society of Jordan (JREDS) have developed the concepts and contents of the training programme and prepare all practical arrangements for implementing the training programme.

2014-01-21PEGASO stepping towards the future
On 14-17 January 2014, the Final conference of the Pegaso project was held in Beldibi/Antalya, Turkey. The MedCoast Foundation, being one of the partners to the project, hosted the event.
During the three days of the meeting, the partners discussed the project's overall results and presented the latest progress achieved within each work package. Moreover, contributions, experiences and lessons learned from each of the CASES were shared. Very interesting comments were made on the aspects that should be of most concern to advance the ICZM implementation in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Based on the common shared knowledge, ideas and concepts were exchanged on how to build the governance platform of tomorrow, for these two seas. It was proposed that the future platform dedicated to ICZM would be hosted within the UNEP/MAP system. Also, the partners discussed the relation between ICZM, MSP, EcAp, etc. and the future of PEGASO in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. An interactive presentation of the SDI was concluded with the presentation of the business plan, identifying priority issues and actions to be taken. Finally, the preparation of a roadmap was addressed in order to better trace the future of the governance platform.
After three days of intensive work, the MedCoast team organised a field trip to the Southern part of the Antalya Bay. Please discover the highlight spots of the field trip on the following interactive map.

The home of Myles, Delphine, Allie and Nate Becker!
21 Mar 2009
Well, all, first I want to say thank you if you are still following the website. It has been a slow journey to get everything back up and running and I'm not even really close.
The main thing is this: the old blog's database got corrupted, so I've been having to re-create the entire blog by hand, which isn't easy (or fun), although it's kind of neat to see all the old posts come back to life.
At any rate, please hang in there with me and in the meantime, I do end up updating my Facebook about 15,000 times a day (not really, but those of you on FB know the addictive nature of that site).

Hi All,
This summer I will be out on the road photographing along the 40th parallel from the California coast to eastern Colorado. Leaving Cambridge, MA around the 19th of July driving to Shelter Cove, CA and working my way east from there, hoping to be back in MA by Aug 18th. I am running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the the rest of this project that I have been working on for 14 years. Can't believe the end is near. Working with 8 x10 chrome in 3 panel panorama format. Here is a sample:
If you live near the 40th in CA, NV, UT, or CO, drop a line looking for places to stay and people to meet.

Are we there yet?
This winter feels so long. It's probably because I didn't have a winter last year. I find myself looking out the window, holding Joseph, looking at the snow and ice, hoping that it will warm up soon. But then I have to stop myself. I have to stop wishing time away. I know that this is a common problem for everyone. It surely is not profound by any means, but I think it really defines some of the difficulties of being a stay-at-home mom (or dad). I have completely contradictory feelings at the same time. I want time to stop and time to go. I'm utterly bored and absolutely amazed. I'm more depressed than ever as well as the happiest I've ever been. The days stretch out to no end while they are flying by. Book after block after ball, I'm just tired. I know that I would have it no other way.
Tony got me this wonderful book for Christmas (Waiting for Birdy by Catherine Newman). Catherine's son Ben is three years old when his baby sister is born, and she chronicles her family's life during this time. I think this excerpt explains a little of what I'm feeling:
"Is it always spring now?" Ben wondered.
I asked him if he could remember what came after spring.
"Summer!" he said. "Is summer about as big as a string cheese?"
"I don't know," I said. Is a string cheese big or small?"
"Kind of big and kind of small." He moved his hands apart and then together to show me.
"Then yes," I said. "That's summer. Kind of big and kind of small."
But my God – doesn't that describe everything? Kind of big and kind of small. Time with a new baby. Childhood. And life itself.

First Impressions
We strive to provide customer service above and beyond expectations. During office hours, our phones are answered personally by our staff and not by an automated system. That personal touch continues with the greetings upon entering the office to the customer care throughout your visit.
Relaxed environment
Our office is decorated with cheerful and fun colors that are comforting to the young child yet do not make the older children feel out of place.
Although we are located in an area of retail shopping our large windows and exterior landscaping provide a relaxing garden like views of crape myrtles and other greenery for a relaxing visit.
Our reception area has video games to entertain prior to entering for their appointment. We also provide TV monitors in our reception area, as well as each dental treatment chair with child friendly shows. Most children are unaware that the appointment is complete and ask if they can stay a little while longer.
Our digital radiography (x-rays) technology minimizes the child's exposure to radiation in comparison to conventional x-ray equipment. The images can be viewed and enlarged on our computer monitors. The children are excited to see the picture of their teeth on the screen.
Our patient appointment reminder system will keep you informed of your upcoming visits.
Information and learning
The dentist will speak to you at every visit regarding your child's appointment. If you have questions regarding your child's care, need information about procedures or your child's oral health, we are available to speak with you.
You are already here so please feel free to browse our website for more dental topics, fun games and other items of interest.
We have a child friendly video system specifically designed to educate and inform the patient and parent about our procedures, including tooth brushing, flossing, as well as a visit to the dentist. Even examples and explanations of the procedures that we perform are all available at the click of a mouse at every treatment location.
Treatment options
When treatment is necessary the majority of our patients can be comfortably treated in our office. We offer nitrous oxide relaxation for the comfort of your child. There are some patients including the very young child, the extremely fearful child, as well as special needs children that may require alternatives to provide care. Our outpatient hospital care provides the ability to complete these extensive dental needs.
Prevention and early detection
We believe in prevention and not just treatment. We encourage early visits and recommend that your child be evaluated for their first visit as soon as their first teeth erupt. This provides us the opportunity to educate our parents on proper oral health care and prevention from the very first tooth.

EPA Raids Ill. Village Over Tainted Water Claims
The Chicago suburb is dealing with allegations that residents were provided with well water tainted with toxic chemicals long after state regulators told local officials the well was polluted.
EPA spokeswoman Anne Rowan said that agents from the EPA — assisted by the Illinois State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service — showed up at Crestwood's...

Coming up on its 21st year, organizers for the Ford Arts, Beats & Eats festival in Royal Oak announced new partnerships and programs that underscore the fight against hunger and highlight art, food and music from Oakland Community College.
The festival, presented by Soaring Eagle Casino & Restort, attracts about 400.000 people over the Labor Day weekend and is in its ninth year in downtown Royal Oak.
Rachel Hurst, corporate affairs manager for Kroger�s Michigan division, said the company is debuting its Zero Hunger, Zero Waste program at the upcoming festival.
�Forty-percent of the food produced in America goes to waste,� Hurst said as she joined other festival sponsors and event producer Jonathan Witz at the OCC campus Tuesday. �One in five children goes to bed hungry.�
Kroger is working with Forgotten Harvest and over 75 restaurants have pledged at least two large pans of food for local nonprofits that feed the hungry.
OCC and students are joining the event for the first time this year. They will take part with student live performances, cooking demonstrations, art exhibitions and artists� demonstrations.
The festival was started in the late 1990s in Pontiac by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. Phil Bertolini, deputy county executive, said OCC is an integral part of the county that grows the region�s base of talent, and also spoke of the festival�s contributions to non-profit groups and the regional economy.
�Since the inception of Arts, Beats and Eats more than $5 million has been raised for charity,� Bertolini said. �We project more than $10 million in economic impact (from the event) in Royal Oak and more than $25 million in the region.�
Witz announced Eddie V�s Prime Seafood restaurant in Troy will be a new addition at this year�s festival. Details of musical acts and headliners for this year won�t be released until late July or early August, he said.
However, Witz did reveal that Irish Folk band Stone Clover of Hazel Park will be among local bands performing this year after they played Tuesday at Witz�s announcement at OCC.
More information is available online at artsbeatseats.com or by calling 248-541-7550. Other events returning this year from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3 are:
� Lifetime fitness classes, Dance Jam, a Warrior Sculpt Class and a Strike Class that is a blend of kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
� Priority Health sponsored group classes with Thrive Hot Yoga and Citizens Yoga of Royal Oak.
� Flagstar Bank in partnership with Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner are exhibiting works from 15 winners of the county�s Financial Literacy Art Contest, which offers scholarships to high school artists in the region. The bank is also returning with its Meters Made Beautiful program. Artists have painted almost 150 parking meters in the downtown since 2016 and this will complete artwork on all meters in the festival�s footprint.

A special thank you this week to our friends from the St. Hilary Parish, Chicago and St. Benedict Parish, Chicago in the congregation.
Homily Transcript
This week our first reading and our gospel are very much in sync. We heard how the Israelites were complaining to Moses, asking for water. They were complaining to Moses, ready to stone him. Jesus talked to God and Jesus heard that imitation to allow the life-giving waters to flow. And so what happened? The life-giving waters flowed and the Israelites did not stone poor Moses. The life-giving waters flow. They were able to drink on their journey.
Similarly, in the gospel, we hear about a Samaritan women. The Samaritan women is just doing her normal, everyday duty in Samaria, fetching water, grabbing water for her family for the day, maybe for a couple of days. She encounters Jesus. Now, you have to understand that the Samaritans and the Jews did not get along, they just didn't get along. In fact, the Samaritans were a little bit north of Judea. And that the Samaritans were very much ostracized by the Jews. The Samaritans were of both Jewish and Pagan ancestry. And the Jews didn't like the Samaritans because of their Pagan ancestry. In fact, the Jews would actually go all the way, they would cross the Jordan River, go on the other side of the Jordan River, once they pass the Samaritan territory, and come back on the other side of the Jordan River. Crazy, right? Crazy.
But here is Jesus, walking straight into their territory. Engaging this woman face-to-face and inviting her to know that Jesus is the bearer of life, everlasting life. She receives him. She receives that message. She receives that life-giving reminder that Jesus is our hope, our everlasting life.
What I wanna encourage us today is to take a look at if our hearts are hardened. Like the Jewish folks who wouldn't travel through Samaria. Are we holding grudges? Are our hearts hardened in any way, shape, or form? This Lenten season we're called by Jesus himself to not let our hearts be hardened, not hold those grudges, but really accept our brothers and sisters with forgiveness and generosity and love. Can we recommit ourselves to that journey in this Lenten season? Not to hold grudges that tear us up, but recommit our self to forgiveness, reconciliation, and love. Can we do that?

#SatARTday: FiftyThree Paper And Colorfy Apps
I wanted to share two artsy apps that I enjoy during my commutes to and from work. You may find them worthwhile as much as I do.
I instantly fell in love with the FiftyThree Paper app on the iPad and now it is available on the iPhone. It is a fun way to doodle my sketches, play around with different colors and textures, and have the ability to easily share them with the world. I am not as proficient as some artists but this app gives me the opportunity to be creative and I love that it's mobile.
Here is my black and white digital sketch of a cartoonish version of the night sky:
I used the ink pen in black color to draw the crescent moon, stars, and text on a plain white background. You can also use a pencil, marker, and brush. Watercolor is one that I would like to do more. With time and practice, I hope to share more art which will be minimalistic in nature. I am still learning to expand my drawing ability and navigate the app. Lol! There is a tips section on the app so you can browse through those if you have any issues. I have read some very good reviews about the compatible Pencil stylus device which is an add-on with this app. But you can also use it with other apps, like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and PicsArt Studio. This is definitely on my Christmas list this year. 😉
2. Colorfy
Now we all know how therapeutic it is to color from your favorite coloring books. I love coloring on the Colorfy app. It is very easy to use and there are animals, classic art, nature, and more pages to choose from. Since I am a big cat person, I decided to use one of their cat pages.
So, are you guys ready to tune into your artistic side? 😄

The key word here is FRIENDS.
Dating is really tough.
That what makes the idea of having a friend with benefits so darn appealing!
Instead of wading through swamps of dudes in the hopes of having some decent conversation and (at best) mediocre sex, you can enjoy a frisky romp with a person you already know and like, but who you know isn't compatible with you in terms of building a long term relationship. You feel safe, it's a reliable situation, and you don't have to risk wasting money and time on losers.
But it's important to remember that a friend with benefits relationship still, in fact, is a relationship.
It has its ups and downs, and with most FWB situations, there will come a time when it's time to shake hands and end the "benefits" part of your friendship.
Here are 7 signs it's time to break up with your friend with benefits, so it doesn't end in more drama than it was worth.
1. Your FWB relationship is keeping you from dating
Having a friend with benefits is supposed to be a source of sexual solace when you aren't in a serious relationship.
If you want a serious relationship, but you know you can never have that with your FWB, it's time to end that relationship and start dating anew, even if this means going through a bit of a sexual dry spell.
If you find yourself turning down promising dates because what you have with your FWB is just so darned easy, it's time to get out.
2. Your friends with benefits relationship is always on your mind
Having a friend with benefits is supposed to be casual, easy, and so much fun. Of course there are clear rules that it's up to both of you to set and follow in order to keep things light and easy. Obviously a FWB relationship is a relationship and deserves to be treated with respect.
But when it becomes a source of constant drama and heartache it's no longer fulfilling the purpose a friend with benefits relationship. That's when it's time to get out.
3. Your FWB relationship has started to make you feel sad
Seeing your FWB should be a happy feeling. You should happy on your way to see them, happy when you're with them, and happy when you leave.
If your friends with benefits relationship is making you sad or weepy, then get the heck out of dodge! Obviously it is no longer giving you what you need to be happy and there is no damned reason you shouldn't be happy in ANY relationship you choose to be in. Get outta there!
4. Your friends with benefits relationship partner is manipulating you
Every relationship involves at least one other person, and a friend with benefits relationship is no different.
It is important that you are your partner are on the same page. If one of you feels hurt or neglected, you need to talk about it. More than any other relationship, a FWB relationship relies on honesty and transparency in all things.
If your FWB starts subtly manipulating you, or making you feel guilty about anything you're doing that doesn't involve them, it's time to get out of there.
5. Your FWB relationship is something you've started to hide
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a friend with benefits, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
If your relationship gets so awkward that when you're out with friends you hide from your FWB or lie to them about how you know your FWB, go with your gut.
Your gut is telling you that something isn't right and that the time has come to cut the cord and move on for you both.
6. Your FWB relationship just isn't fun anymore
At its core a friend with benefits relationship is about FUN. Sure, you need to be careful of each other's feelings and be respectful of the other party in the relationship, but at the end of the day what you two do together should be about having a great time.
If it isn't fun, there's no reason for it to continue. End it, and you just might find that you enjoy your relationship with this person as friends MINUS the benefits.
7. Your FWB relationship partner has another partner
Of course your friendship with benefits is going to follow whatever rules you two decide that it should follow. But if your friend with benefits has another partner, a serious girlfriend or boyfriend who doesn't know about you, I've got some rough news. You aren't a friend with benefits, you're a mistress.
If this sounds way too familiar, it's time to break up with your FWB.

Some investors have been hit harder than others. Certainly those investors with a large percentage of their assets in the stock market have seen a greater decline in value than those with less invested in the market.
Fortunately there are some things the average investor should know that will help mitigate losses during the next downturn and enhance returns during the next boom in the stock market. For example:
- Do not fool yourself into thinking that you are diversified if you own five different bank stocks or three different large cap growth funds. Diversification works when the investments chosen to make up your portfolio are very different from one another. A portfolio consisting of large cap, small cap, growth, value, and international investments is a better diversifier than owning all bank stocks or all large cap growth stocks. Even better would be one that includes bond investments in addition to stock investments and maybe even a little cash.
- Do not try to time the market. Everyone seems to agree that trying to time the market is hard to do, but many continue to try. Put simply, market timing is the practice of buying when you think the market has hit a bottom and selling when you think the market has reached a high and is about to fall. The problem is that markets do not go straight up or down. There can be big moves up or down even as the market trends up or down. From August 28, 2008 through April 17, 2009, for example, the S&P500 was down a total of 33%. At one point during that time frame, the S&P500 had dropped as much as 49%. However, twice during that same time frame the S&P500 rose by more than 24%. Market timing involves making two correct decisions; that is buying at the right time and selling at the right time. Swings in the market as described above make it virtually impossible to get both the buying and selling timed right.
- Do not hold onto an investment solely because at one time the price of the investment was much higher than it currently is. It is no secret that most people are too emotional when it comes to dealing with their money and investments. Just because you owned Citigroup at $55 a share does not mean that it will eventually sell for $55 a share again. It may, but then the Washington Nationals may also win the National league pennant. Holding on to the stock just in the hope of it going back to where it once was is no different than a gambler doubling down on his losses in order to get back to even again.
- Do not hold onto an investment that has done very well simply because you do not want to pay income taxes on the sale. Last time I checked, the tax on the sale of an investment was never more than the proceeds received in the sale. Furthermore, for investments held for more than a year, the tax is even less and in certain circumstances zero. If the investment is no longer appropriate for your portfolio or as a percentage of your portfolio exceeds 10%, then by all means sell the investment, pay your taxes and reinvest the proceeds in a more appropriate investment.
- Do not invest money in the stock market that you may need within the next five years. People saving for their teenage child's college education or to buy a house within the next few years should invest all that money in low risk types of investments such as bonds or cash. The risk of principle fluctuation is just too great to take a chance with the money.
Following the above suggestions won't assure that in the next downturn your investments won't lose money. They will, however, go a long way towards helping you understand what needs to be done to avoid making those major mistakes that can result in permanent losses and major damage to your portfolio.

In addition to this "Monkey God" story, there were a lot of Chinese Historical Books in junior and senior high school days, such as "3 Countries History" whereas 3 countries kings fight for unified China, "Sui-Fu" -Story of Private Organization fight against old and corrupted government-, so on and so forth. In this way, in addition to the fact that China is my wife's home country, I did not feel China to be foreign country for long time.
At one point in china history, black rice was considered the emperor's rice and no one else was allowed to consume it. If top blogger list did, they faced a death sentence.
Yearly most viewed blogs are still popular, for example the World Kite Festival at Weifang, in Shandong Province. Shandong? Yes, that's where the very first kites that historians know about were constructed and flown.
But it's not all good news. The problem now is that Japan faces a decline in household savings due to their declining population growth. This demographic shift is going to make it much more difficult for the country to manage its debt.
In the whole of American history there has only been one prior top ten bloggers that resembles the real estate boom and bust that we are now witnessing. It was the great Florida land boom of the 1920s. Real estate has always been expensive. What has always held real estate prices in check was that people just did not have enough money to bull prices up for very long. The money is just not there. The device that enabled the Florida land boom to occur was the "binder." This is a real estate term that has gone out of use today. In the manner in which it was then used it was essentially an option payment on the down payment if you can conceive of such a thing.
top blog websites have emerged from the house price slump (see below). However, most countries suffered sharp house price falls during the year to end-Q2 2009, so that the general situation remains negative.The Global Property Guide uses price-changes after inflation, giving a more realistic picture than the (more upbeat) nominal figures usually preferred by real estate agents.After experiencing declines in 2008, house prices in China, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, France, Sweden and Hong Kong rebounded during the latest reported quarter, Q2 2009.
But with its weakness beginning in January just as those positive GDP numbers were released, and so far this year, is the stock market providing another warning about the economy, that this is as good as it's going to get, or is it just a normal 'buy the dips' pullback?
Moreover, top style has 4 mild seasons that each have something special to offer. The summers are mild, unlike the nearby cities of Charlotte or Raleigh. Temperatures usually reach highs of 85 degrees in July and August. Charlotte and Raleigh reach highs of 98 degrees each year in contrast. The altitude of Asheville is the reason for the mild summers, which is easily my favorite time of year. The winters are fairly cool but even with snow capped mountains, the winters are quite bearable while also offering the best skiing and snowboarding in the state. Spring is breathtaking when the flowers are all in bloom and the Fall is absolutely majestic, with the leaves changing colors as they fall to the ground. At any time of the year, Asheville is mild, with an average temperature of 66.7 degrees.
In a normal recovery we would be seeing 4-5% china gdp and some genuine recovery in unemployment. Still, as spin would have it 2% best blogs of the world which we have had is not a recession.
Global stimulus efforts began to work. Plunging home sales reversed to monthly sales gains. Job losses that had been exceeding 500,000 a month improved to only 150,000 jobs being lost monthly. Home prices began to improve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM began to rise. The steep decline in corporate earnings slowed its pace significantly.

As it stands right now (remember, I'm not done the program yet!), If I were to have to rate the program out of five stars, I'd give it:
- Fantastic way to improve cardio endurance & strengthen fast twitch muscle fiber
- Great way to increase flexibility
- Excellent for improving exercise/life balance and avoiding gym fees
- In my opinion, this workout is more likely to encourage the body to utilize glycogen stores & protein (muscle) to fuel itself due to the how high it stimulates the heart rate.
- Unless you are in Ketosis, OR your body is naturally efficient at utilizing fat stores to fuel itself even with moderate carb consumption (lucky you!), you're only likely to burn a minimal amount of fat stores during the entire duration of the workouts.
- Probably not ideal for woman who suffer from hormonal issues such as myself (unless in Ketosis and supplementing with enough BCAA's to retain muscle)
- You wont be able to retain muscle without precise supplementation and dietary modifications
Having said all that, it seems I am now starting to shed body fat in the program (this delay seems to be common with INSANITY). However it came at a price, as I feel I've certainly lost muscle and likely lowered my metabolic rate. Let's just say that while my clothes are fitting better than they were before the program, I feel 'flabbier' since I've likely burned away some quality muscle.
My plan is to hit Keto hard for the next few weeks and try to deplete my glycogen stores so that I can encourage my body to fuel these workouts purely from stored fat. I think that should help, however I need to find a good BCAA supplement in St. Lucia to prevent further muscle loss. Additionally, I plan to get my ass back to lifting weights a.s.a.p. Thankfully, building back the lost muscle shouldn't be a problem for me.
(Side note: I don't plan on kicking Insanity all together, but I do plan on being more strategic with it AFTER I complete the program. I'm doing the entire program for YOU guys! I want to give a proper review.)
