SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- A woman escaped from the grits of ISIS terrorist in the Middle East and is making a plea to the United States to be her permanent home. In a story you'll only see on ABC7 News, we get an inside look as she explains how ISIS is making life unbearable for Christians in her country.
Because the woman's husband is still living in Iraq, we will protect her identity and call her Shoshan.
Shoshan made her case before an asylum officer in San Francisco Monday morning.
Members of the Bay Area religious community are standing up to ISIS, the militant Islamic group that has terrorized Christians in Iraq and Syria.
Church members are sending relief supplies and are also helping refugees to seek asylum.
Shoshan is an expecting mother and is among the estimated quarter-million Christians facing persecution in Iraq at the hands of ISIS militants.
She has been visiting relatives in California and has applied for asylum to escape the terror she says ISIS has created.
"They have abducted many young women, killed the husbands and are selling women as slaves," Shoshan said.
She is seeking asylum on religious grounds with the help of the nonprofit group, Mothers "Mothers Against Murder."
"I want to be able to sleep and not worry about when they will be coming inside to kill me," Shoshan said.
However, her husband remains at risk in Iraq. ISIS stripped them of their money and valuables, including Shoshan's wedding ring and she worries deeply about him.
"I wish I could turn around and see him behind me," Shoshan said.
Shoshan is not alone living in fear. Bay Area religious leaders are stepping in to help.
"So I think we all have to stand together, peace loving Muslims, who care about their Christian neighbors and the international community," said Father Ninos Oshaana from Cathedral of the Ascension Greek Orthodox.
"Shoshan's case is the ultimate humanitarian case who someone being persecuted for their beliefs," Evangelical Church of San Jose Pastor Ladimer Alkhaseh Assyrian said.
And so they pray, even for ISIS.
"The more people we save, it sends a message to ISIS that they are valuable and they are not disposable because we are trying to create a community of kinship in which we stop disposing humanity," Catholic Diocese of San Jose Deacon Ruben Solorio said.
The US receives nearly 11,000 asylum applications per year and 367 were approved last year for Iraqi's.
"There is nothing impossible with God, with God's will," Shoshan said.
Shoshan will learn if she will be granted asylum in about two weeks.

SYNC_FILE_RANGE(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SYNC_FILE_RANGE(2) NAME sync_file_range - sync a file segment with disk SYNOPSIS #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <fcntl.h> int sync_file_range(int fd, off64_t offset, off64_t nbytes, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION sync_file_range() permits fine control when synchronizing the open file referred to by the file descriptor fd with disk. offset is the starting byte of the file range to be synchronized. nbytes specifies the length of the range to be synchronized, in bytes; if nbytes is zero, then all bytes from offset through to the end of file are synchronized. Synchronization is in units of the system page size: offset is rounded down to a page boundary; (offset+nbytes-1) is rounded up to a page boundary. The flags bit-mask argument can include any of the following values: SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE Wait upon write-out of all pages in the specified range that have already been submitted to the device driver for write-out before performing any write. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE Initiate write-out of all dirty pages in the specified range which are not presently submitted write-out. Note that even this may block if you attempt to write more than request queue size. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER Wait upon write-out of all pages in the range after performing any write. Specifying flags as 0 is permitted, as a no-op. Some details None of these operations write out the file's metadata. Therefore, unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of already- instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees that the data will be available after a crash. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return these to the caller. Useful combinations of the flags bits are: SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE Ensures that all pages in the specified range which were dirty when sync_file_range() was called are placed under write-out. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE Start write-out of all dirty pages in the specified range which are not presently under write-out. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk operation. This is not suitable for data integrity operations. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER) Wait for completion of write-out of all pages in the specified range. This can be used after an earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait for completion of that operation, and obtain its result. SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE | SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER This is a write-for-data-integrity operation that will ensure that all pages in the specified range which were dirty when sync_file_range() was called are committed to disk. RETURN VALUE On success, sync_file_range() returns 0; on failure -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EBADF fd is not a valid file descriptor. EINVAL flags specifies an invalid bit; or offset or nbytes is invalid. EIO I/O error. ENOMEM Out of memory. ENOSPC Out of disk space. ESPIPE fd refers to something other than a regular file, a block device, a directory, or a symbolic link. VERSIONS sync_file_range() appeared on Linux in kernel 2.6.17.

TransAtlantic: A Novel by Colum McCann
English | 2016 | Historical Fiction | ePUB | 265 KB
In 1919 Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of World War One to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. In 1845 Frederick Douglass, a black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of democracy and freedom, only to find a famine unfurling at his feet. And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace. Stitching these stories intricately together, Colum McCann sets out to explore the fine line between what is real and what is imagined, and the tangled skein of connections that make up our lives.

Not wholly is our world made up of bright stars and bright eyes: so now to our story.
A conscientious host should ever be up betimes, to look after the welfare of his guests, and see to it that their day begin auspiciously. King Media announced the advent of the sun, by rustling at my bower's eaves in person.
A repast was spread in an adjoining arbor, which Media's pages had smoothed for our reception, and where his subordinate chiefs were in attendance. Here we reclined upon mats. Balmy and fresh blew the breath of the morning; golden vapors were upon the mountains, silver sheen upon the grass; and the birds were at matins in the groves; their bright plumage flashing into view, here and there, as if some rainbow were crouching in the foliage.
Spread before us were viands, served in quaint-shaped, curiously-dyed gourds, not Sevres, but almost as tasteful; and like true porcelain, fire had tempered them. Green and yielding, they are plucked from the tree; and emptied of their pulp, are scratched over with minute marks, like those of a line engraving. The ground prepared, the various figures are carefully etched. And the outlines filled up with delicate punctures, certain vegetable oils are poured over them, for coloring. Filled with a peculiar species of earth, the gourd is now placed in an oven in the ground. And in due time exhumed, emptied of its contents, and washed in the stream, it presents a deep-dyed exterior; every figure distinctly traced and opaque, but the ground semi-transparent. In some cases, owing to the variety of dyes employed, each figure is of a different hue.
More glorious goblets than these for the drinking of wine, went never from hand to mouth. Capacious as pitchers, they almost superseded decanters.
Now, in a tropical climate, fruit, with light wines, forms the only fit meal of a morning. And with orchards and vineyards forever in sight, who but the Hetman of the Cossacs would desire more? We had plenty of the juice of the grape. But of this hereafter; there are some fine old cellars, and plenty of good cheer in store.
During the repast, Media, for a time, was much taken up with our raiment. He begged me to examine for a moment the texture of his right royal robe, and observe how much superior it was to my own. It put my mantle to the blush; being tastefully stained with rare devices in red and black; and bordered with dyed fringes of feathers, and tassels of red birds' claws.
Next came under observation the Skyeman's Guayaquil hat; at whose preposterous shape, our host laughed in derision; clapping a great conical calabash upon the head of an attendant, and saying that now he was Jarl. At this, and all similar sallies, Samoa was sure to roar louder than any; though mirth was no constitutional thing with him. But he seemed rejoiced at the opportunity of turning upon us the ridicule, which as a barbarian among whites, he himself had so often experienced.
These pleasantries over, King Media very slightly drew himself up, as if to make amends for his previous unbending. He discoursed imperially with his chiefs; nodded his sovereign will to his pages; called for another gourd of wine; in all respects carrying his royalty bravely.
The repast concluded, we journeyed to the canoe-house, where we found the little Chamois stabled like a steed. One solitary depredation had been committed. Its sides and bottom had been completely denuded of the minute green barnacles, and short sea-grass, which, like so many leeches, had fastened to our planks during our long, lazy voyage.
By the people they had been devoured as dainties.

The Friends of Dunbar Cave's Spring Fling is perennial fun
Dunbar Cave held their annual Spring Fling on Saturday May 9th. Despite the rainfilled beginning, hundreds came out to attend guided nature hikes, see live birds of prey (Raptors), reptiles, and other rescued wildlife.
Over the course of the day's events, visitors took hikes, pausing to look at wildflowers or spot birds along with the general trekking. They learned about bluebirds, backpacking and many other things. Dozens of enthusiastic volunteers helped set up and take down equipment for the event, which was sponsored by the Friends of Dunbar Cave, the Warioto Audubon Chapter, Tennessee Trails Association and TN Wildlife Resources Agency.
Save Our Raptors is a yearly treat at spring fling. Having the opportunity to see these birds of prey up close up is a thrill for everyone who attends. While teaching the crowd about Raptors they flew them back and forth over the crowd's heads. One gentleman even received a gentle pat on the top of his head by the wing of a Casey the Vulture.
When they asked for volunteers a young woman got the chance of a life time. "Carrie, Do you know your blood type?" they asked. They had her put on "a road kill" apron and lay on the ground pretending to be a vultures favorite treat, it was only a joke. After cluing her in, she allowed Casey to land on her hand after a he finished a flight.A video used to be embedded here but the service that it was hosted on has shut down.
You can learn more about SOAR at their web site.
After SOAR finished entertaining the crowd it was the turn of the Reptiliacs. Donny and Sherry Howell shared stories about their love of snakes and reptiles, all but hypnotizing their audience. "Don't be so anxious to kill snakes," Sherry told us, as she explained that they eat many kinds of pests like mice and rats. They help us more than they hurt us; our fear of them is unfounded. Even when she was bitten by one of her snakes while feeding it, she understood that it was her fault, she says.
Due to high water conditions the annual canoeing on the lake was canceled this year.
The Friends of Dunbar Cave would like to extend their thanks to the Park staff, all those who volunteered, the participants, and the public for their continued support.

James McClean cried the tears of a nation, crumbling in front of the cameras just as his Republic of Ireland colleagues had collapsed on a night of abject misery at the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland's World Cup dreams soared after only six minutes of the World Cup play-off second leg, but it was all downhill thereafter as Age Hareide's Denmark ruthlessly exposed sloppy defending to rout the boys in green 5-1.
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen claimed a hat-trick, with a shaken Republic manager Martin O'Neill admitting after the final whistle: "We were well beaten."
Eriksen's three goals took his tally for the campaign to 11 goals, just two fewer than the Republic managed in their 12 games.
James McClean had a chance to put Ireland 2-0 in the first half but he was as stunned as anyone by Ireland's subsequent collapse.
"They were just better than us... I don't know what to say... I am just devastated," said the West Brom winger.

Two avoidable goals in three mad minutes gave the Danes a 2-1 half-time lead before Martin O'Neill, a manager not known for gambling, withdrew both his central midfielders at half-time, explaining afterwards: "There's no point dying wondering. We had to get two goals back.
"The two [first half] goals we conceded were so, so sloppy," the manager said. "The next goal is a comedy of mistakes. In a game of such importance, the whole mindset changes when you are 2-1 down inside a couple of minutes when perhaps you might have been 2-0 up."
However, the absence of skipper David Meyler or Harry Arter was manifestly evident as Eriksen picked up scraps on the edge of the Irish area to score a third.
Another defensive howler gifted him his hat-trick and Ireland's humiliation was complete in injury time when Nicklas Bendtner converted a penalty.
"Humiliation?," frowned O'Neill afterwards, his RTÉ interview adding insult to injury. "We were well beaten."
But somehow it felt much worse than a beating.

It is unlawful to sexually harass someone at work in all Australian jurisdictions.
An employee wanting to take legal action regarding sexual harassment must determine whether it is best to do so under the law in their State or Territory, or under the Commonwealth law.
This article will briefly explain some of the differences between States, Territories and Commonwealth law. It is not intended to be used as legal advice.
The Workplace Advice and Support service at Professionals Australia can assist members to determine the best course of action in their case.
Definitions of sexual harassment
The most common definition of sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, that a reasonable person would anticipate to cause offence, humiliation or intimidation. This definition is used in Commonwealth, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and ACT.
The definition of sexual harassment differs in Western Australia. Unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature will only amount to sexual harassment if the person subjected to the conduct:
- has a reasonable belief that rejecting or objecting to the conduct would disadvantage her/him in her/his employment; or
- is at a disadvantage in her/his employment because she/he rejected or objected to the conduct.
The Northern Territory uses both definitions; it defines sexual harassment as unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature:
- that a reasonable person would anticipate to cause offence, humiliation or intimidation; or
- that the person subjected to the conduct is disadvantaged as a result of rejecting or objecting, or has reasonable belief that rejection or objection would disadvantage her/him in her/his employment.
Making a complaint
Employees have the option to make a complaint under the legislation applicable in their state or territory law, or under Commonwealth law.
A significant difference between the State or Territory laws and Commonwealth law is the time limit for making the complaint.
Under Commonwealth law, an employee can make a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission within 6 months of the sexual harassment occurring. This is the shortest time limit imposed.
Complaints made under State legislation have a longer time limit available for an individual to make an complaint.
The table below shows the time limits and complaint body in the States or Territories.
- New South Wales, 12 months, Anti-Discrimination Board
- Victoria, 12 months, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission
- Queensland, 12 months, Anti-Discrimination Commission
- Tasmania, 12 months, Anti-Discrimination Commissioner (known as Equal Opportunity Tasmania)
- South Australia, 12 months, Equal Opportunity Commission
- Western Australia, 12 months, Equal Opportunity Commission
- Australian Capital Territory, 12 months, ACT Human Rights Commission
- Northern Territory, 12 months, Anti-Discrimination Commission
Vicarious liability
In certain circumstances, anti-discrimination legislation makes an employer legally responsible for sexual harassment performed by one if their employees; this is known as 'vicarious liability'. For an employer to be vicariously liable there must be a connection between the sexual harassment and the employment of the employee engaging in sexual harassment. Even where there is a connection, an employer that takes reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment will not be vicariously liable.
Often the sexual harassment will be connected to the harassing employee's employment because it occurred in the workplace and during working hours. However, sexual harassment that occurs out of the workplace or outside working hours may still be connected to the harassing employee's employment.
In a recent case, Oak Hotels & Resorts Limited v Knauer [2018] QCA 359, the employer of an after-hours hotel caretaker was vicariously liable for his actions. The caretaker was employed to provide on-call care-taking services between 10:00pm and 6:00am each day. He indecently assaulted a colleague at approximately 5:00am, in the hotel where he worked. There was sufficient connection between the caretaker's employment and his conduct because it occurred when he was on-call, even though he was not responding to a call, incident or issue, and therefore not working at the time.
Only South Australian law sets out the reasonable steps an employer must take to avoid vicarious liability. These are: implement a workplace policy prohibits sexual harassment; educated employees about the policy; investigated allegations of sexual harassment and take appropriate disciplinary action.
Sometimes, these steps will often be enough for an employer to avoid vicarious liability in other jurisdictions. However, in many cases employees have successfully argued that their employer should have done more.
This publication is general information only and is not not intended to be used as legal advice or a substitute for legal advice. If If you have been sexually harassed at work and want assistance, please contact the Workplace Advice and Support team by calling 1300 27 37 62 or emailing email@example.com.

The Cedar-Lee Theatre (located at the corner of...) opened on Christmas Day, 1925 with a screening of The King of Main Street. It was originally a single, 1,100 seat house.
Just this past December 1 they celebrated their 85th anniversary with a showing of The Gold Rush. Tickets were twenty-five cents. I love that.
In spite of contemporary accounts suggesting the movies were an excellent value and source for escape during the Great Depression, theaters did indeed have to take special action to ensure the audiences kept arriving. One popular attraction was Bank Night, where a lottery was held for a cash prize. In 1936, thirty Cleveland area theaters challenged and defeated an existing police ruling that this was an illegal practice.
There was also Crystal Night and China Night, an event dramatized in the little seen My Summer Story, that little-seen sequel to A Christmas Story.
They used the lobby of the Palace for the lobby scene, but this scene was shot in the Ohio.
Hey, while we're at it ... here is a scene from that forlorn mess, shot in large part in Cleveland during the sweltering summer of 1993 and released never:
Skip the opening bit, what you want starts at 2:06 - the World Exposition. No, no, not that Exposition. In spite of what most Clevelanders believe, the tales of Ralphie Parker take place in Indiana, not Cleveland. And this World Exposition supposedly took place in Chicago. There was, of course, a 1934 Chicago World's Fair, but calling it an exposition in this movie leaves me wondering if they were trying to cut some kind of difference. When do these movies take place, anyway? There is nothing in A Christmas Story to suggest Depression-era hardship. The sequel does in a ham-fisted way (okay, you can watch this whole clip if you want to feel that.)
However. I like to think they did capture some of what it felt like to be squeezed in a "Streets of the World" exhibit, complete with live camel.
And oh, did I mention I'm in the camel scene? You won't see me. I am the young man with thinning hair in the loud shirt, visible from 4:50 to 4:56. No, really, you can't see me.
Wait. What was I talking about?

Local Hero
Posted on: September 1, 2008
Over the past decade the diminutive former comp climber Beth Rodden has transformed herself into one of the world's preeminent trad climbers. It would be easy to assume that her El Cap free routes such as the Nose, Lurking Fear and El Corazon—or else the encouragement of her climbing partner and husband, Tommy Caldwell—helped Rodden establish Meltdown (5.14) on February 14, 2008. So it may come as a bit of a surprise to hear that the inspiration for her new Yosemite route arrived from a little-known source much closer to the ground: Valley boulderer Randy Puro.
If you haven't heard of the Berkeley-based Puro, it's probably because he's more interested in going bouldering than in showing up on 8a.nu. Even so, in his search for intriguing problems he has done "a slew" of V12s, as well as a couple of V13s. Along the way he has refined his style to emphasize the aesthetics of creation. This fascination with process, combined with a love of deciphering sequences, ties back into his work as a software developer. "We do a lot of collaborative work," Puro says. "A couple of programmers sit down and try to solve a problem. It's the same with bouldering: a couple of boulderers get together and try to figure out a problem." So, in like fashion, one day this spring Rodden sat down with Puro to sort out why his climbing now resonates so much with her own.
I'D ALWAYS BEEN INTIMIDATED by boulderers. They seemed to resemble a pack of wolves, traveling only with their own group, moving from problem to problem, slowly dispensing with each one like a kill. I used to think they rarely allowed an outsider in. However, in the autumn of 2007, Randy Puro and the Bay Area crew changed this stereotype for me forever.
Yosemite's bouldering is as proud as its soaring granite walls: the problems are big, beautiful—and they stay with you. Though some of the oldest classics like Midnight Lightning and Thriller rank among the best in the world, the potential is largely untapped—and a dedicated few wander the woods finding gems that have been waiting for millennia.
Last autumn, I kept hearing whispers of Puro's recent accomplishments. Usually it was some desperate sloping arete with no visible holds, just white chalk dotting its way up blank granite. I knew that Tommy had bouldered a bit with Randy—but Tommy boulders hard. Someone like Randy would surely laugh at a beginning boulderer like me.
Instead he smiled from ear to ear. And when he did laugh, it was the kind of laughter that disperses all tension and competitiveness. Randy immediately included me in his pack of friends. Constantly brushing holds and moving pads, he waited for hours while I projected his warm-ups. I never saw him appear cocky. When someone else sent a problem, he'd exude much more excitement about their success than about his own.
But to me the highlight of a day with Randy was watching him climb. He wasn't at all like many top climbers who take themselves too seriously. Whenever he fell on a problem, instead of profanity and anger, his laughter echoed throughout the boulders. Using opposition, balance and pure genius, he unlocked complicated sequences that changed my perspective of the possible. Those close to him know he is the master of Yosemite granite—move for move, the best climber in the Valley. But compared to numerous people who come to Yosemite to preach ethics or to make a name for themselves, his quiet, understated demeanor blends into the landscape like the fresh spring air.
Randy often drives four hours from Berkeley, climbs twelve hours during the daylight, continues into the night by lantern and headlamp, then drives back home, all in a single push—a routine that makes most of our wall days seem minimal by comparison. A day after bouldering with him, I feel as worked as if I'd just done a one-day ascent of El Cap. And when I'd normally take a lazy rest day in the Meadow, Randy is out in the forest finding new problems.
After a few months with Randy, I was able to complete my hardest climb to date, Meltdown. From him I'd learned that throwing myself at three simple but frustrating moves for days upon end could actually be exciting. Without that realization, I wouldn't have solved the crux.
Recently, he spent one of his rest days hiking to the top of El Cap with me. Unlike most hard-core boulderers, who would have worried that any exertion would ruin the next day for climbing, he simply relished the view. Exploring and just being in this majestic Valley are at the heart of his inspiration. While some Valley locals might see him as "merely a boulderer," Randy embodies the Yosemite spirit better than anyone I know.

Board Members Only
Unity Board
UNITY Home Page
Unity is an organization that supports home, church, and school. Our members, programs, and activities support and serve the spiritual, educational, and physical needs of students, teachers, and family members.
What do we do?
Unity offers many events for the families of St. Paul's including movie night, fall festival, spring dance, Bingo night, speakers, and grandparent/parent breakfast. Unity also helps assist room parents with classroom needs. We also coordinate the St. Paul's Eagles Spirit Wear orders 2-3 times per year.
Unity also supports the staff in ways that are not as visible like providing staff meals during parent-teacher conferences, coordinates gifts for Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Week, and other things.
Please stop by our table at iFASST Day in August to get a list of our events and we hope that many parents will continue to sign-up to volunteer. We would not be able to do many of the activities we have come to love without the help of our volunteers. Some of the opportunities to volunteer include:
Library Help -
Volunteers are needed in the school library to assist the students with checking out books and shelving returned books. If you are willing to volunteer your time and talents just one or two afternoons per month from 12:45 – 3:00 pm, please consider signing up.
Hot Lunch Volunteers -
Volunteers are needed to help service hot lunch. This is fun and rewarding, plus you get to know the wonderful children at our school. Serve once a week, once every other week, or once a month, as your schedule allows. The time commitment is from 10:30 – 12:45 pm. Volunteers also receive credit toward your child's/grandchild's hot lunch account each time you serve. Training will be provided.
Concession Volunteers -
Does your child participate in one of the many sports activities at St. Paul's? Did you know that money raised from concessions not only helps with all school activities throughout the school year but also helps to pay for uniforms. Please consider signing up to work concessions. Shifts are 30-90 minutes long. Training will be provided.
Room Parents -
A room parent works directly with the teacher to organize and recruit other parents for specific tasks or events held in that classroom. Information will be provided if you decide being a room parent is right for you.
All School Events -
These events include Fall Fest, Spring Dance, Movie Nights and the Parent/Grandparent Breakfast. Help is always needed for planning, decorating, concessions and clean-up. There are also opportunities to help by providing food for staff lunches, prekindergarten open house and other various events throughout the year.
Box Tops -
St. Paul's participates in the Box Tops for Education Program. Please clip box tops and send them to school with your child. There are collection cans in each classroom. This year we have a school goal to raise $2,000, that is 20,000 box tops. If we reach our goal, there will be an all school celebration. Thanks for your support!
We look forward to a wonderful school year and we ask God's blessing on Unity's work this year.

Last week it was confirmed that CBS will air another live Strikeforce card for free in April, 2010.
After last night's Strikeforce: Evolution event, Scott Coker spoke with sherdog.com about who we might be seeing fight on the card.
First off he revealed that it is likely that Fedor Emelianenko will face Fabricio Werdum. Fedor is the promotions biggest asset at this time, but Werdum isn't an opponent that's going to be met with widespread enthusiasm from fans.
The good news is that the rest of the card should be stacked. Coker confirmed that recent acquisition Dan Henderson is likely to fight Jake Shields for the middleweight belt. He also stated he would like to see female star Gina Carano back in action.
Finally he suggested that Alistair Overeem might make his first appearance on a Strikeforce card for over two years against either Antonio Silva or Brett Rogers.
Possible Strikeforce CBS Card in April, 2010:
- Fedor Emelianenko Vs Fabricio Werdum
Dan Henderson Vs Jake Shields (MW Title Fight)
Gina Carano Vs ?
Alistair Overeem Vs Antonio Silva / Brett Rogers
It certainly has the makings of a card that would make a solid event for their second CBS event. Whether it can actually be brought to fruition or not remains to be seen.
Gina Carano has disappeared of the MMA map since her loss to Cyborg Santos, and there's no guarantee she will return to fight in 2010. Meanwhile the Head Kick Legend site recently reported that Alistair Overeem won't be fighting in the U.S until later in 2010.
Looking beyond the CBS card, Coker also discussed other match-ups we might see in 2010, including Gilbert Melendez Vs Shinya Aoki (potentially in the 2nd quarter of the year) and Josh Thomson Vs KJ Noons. He also suggested that a third match between Melendez and Thomson will happen at some stage.
Watch the full interview with the Strikeforce CEO below.

Note from the editor: The SVALA President-Elect, Julie Denker attended the 2016 ALA Chapter Leadership Conference in Fort Worth, Texas with Cindy Pilon. (You can read Cindy's recap here.) Julie shares her experiences from her first CLI event below. Thank you for sharing, Julie! We know you will make a terrific President next year!
As President-Elect I had the great privilege of representing SVALA at the CLI Conference in Fort Worth, Texas last month along with Cindy Pilon, CLM, Law Firm Leadership and Holiday Event Co-Chair. The conference was held at The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel downtown Fort Worth, in the heart of the historic Sundance Square.
The first night, as Cindy and I entered the elevator en route to experience our first Texas BBQ, we met a group of ALA members from Calgary, Alberta. They insisted we join them for dinner as they, too, were on the same mission. You just couldn't have met a finer group of warm, welcoming and friendly people.
This year's conference theme was "Let's Dance!" and each session that followed was also a dance theme. The General Session, "Moving from Two Left Feet to Usher or Shakira" was led by ALA's President, Laura Broomell, CLM. She got the dance theme rolling by providing an overview of ALA structure, demographics, member benefits and available resources followed by a Welcome Reception of hors d'oeuvres and.…wait for it…..dancing!! Wow, ALA Members can cut a rug!
Friday morning's Keynote Session, "Are you Dancing (and Leading) from Your Soul?" was led by guest speaker Robin Getman. Robin is a hospitality expert with over two decades experience in training and management. She is funny, engaging and inspirational. She taught us that personal power in organizations increase when people begin leading from their souls rather than positions of authority. The audience had the opportunity to learn about, talk about – even argue about – the conditions and consequences of the six stages of personal power and everyone received a resource packet to serve as a reminder of the implications and applications of the model. Fun was had by all!
I followed Robin to the next session as she led "Take This Job and Love It!" Here, Robin described common performance behaviors and characteristics using a fun, easy-to-remember, four-horsepower model. We learned ways to reinforce desirable behaviors and characteristics. We also learned how to redirect undesirable behaviors and characteristics and why it may be helpful to put the C.A.R.T. (Communication, Appreciation, Relationships and Tools, Training and Resources) before every horse.
"The Leader Shuffle Without a Wobble: Dancing Through Your Chapter Presidency" provided guidance, strategies, tools and resources to help me successfully lead as Chapter President. Here I learned how to navigate ALA's website to locate tools and available resources that will help me make my presidency successful.
Chapters then separated by chapter size. This is where the ideas and conversation flowed like a beautiful Cowboy Cha Cha. As an example, the Indiana Chapter meets with local high schools and community colleges to educate students and the community to show that there is more to a career in legal than being a lawyer. The Jacksonville Chapter participates in mock interviews with a local paralegal school and reaches out to the local community to educate about the many diverse employment opportunities in the legal field.
Another chapter puts on an annual event for business partners called "Funky Bowling" as a way to strengthen and build those relationships in a fun, relaxed, and no pressure environment. They say it's a huge success and it sounds like a lot of fun! On-boarding and mentoring new members, especially those new to legal management, brought forth a lively discussion.
The Philadelphia chapter launched a YouTube channel to showcase the benefits of membership. Check it out here. Common amongst chapters is the reduction in webinar participation. Of note, the Cyber Chapter offers free monthly webinars.
Chapter Management software is on the rise using StarChapter and Wild Apricot. Overall, this was one of my favorite sessions. I was inspired by the eagerness of others to share their knowledge and experiences to help fellow chapter members.
Up until now the "Let's Dance" theme leaned a little towards the country two-step. That is until Judy Hissong stepped on stage and led the entire audience in the "Whip & Nae Nae." Yahoo, now that was a hoot! Whip & Nae Nae, I do not do very well. Judy's "Don't Dance Alone: Running an Effective Meeting" was informative and entertaining. We have all attended meetings that are poorly run. Judy said, be mindful of the collective time and talent of the parties in the room; send out the meeting agendas early; approve financials and minutes via email 48 hours before the meeting; create useful agendas and set ground rules. Judy said she never leaves home without, "Meetings Matter" by Paul Axtell, and, of course, I had to buy it! Judy nailed it gracefully with her wisdom, humor, enthusiasm and charm.
Again, I am grateful for the experience, for the newly formed friendships, and for Southwest returning Cindy and I home without incident. I came away from CLI with tools, resources, leadership materials and the motivation to be an effective chapter leader. I sure have big shoes to fill.

Admittedly, manufacturers don't make it easy for consumers to know how many calories they're downing since the majority of bottles or cans reveal little in the way of nutritional information.
As a general guide, a standard glass (125ml) of dry white wine or red wine is about 115 calories, and sweet wine is about 165 calories. With each bottle of wine containing around 6 glasses, that's nearly 700 calories!
If you're looking for a wine that's lower in calories, there are some around. Weight Watchers have two bottles of lower calorie wines: Refreshing Rose Wine and Fruity White Wine.
The Rose is a 2010 rose German table wine and is described as 'Lively and refreshing with raspberry and cherry flavours'. The Fruity White Wine is described as 'Deliciously smooth with aromas of apples and pears'. Both are from the cellars of Reh Kendermann.
Weight Watchers red and white wines have just 75 calories per glass are worth 2 Weight Watchers ProPoints. This gives you a saving of around 40 calories per glass when compared with regular wines.
They're available in bottle sizes 18.7cl or 75cl and can be found in Tesco and Asda.
*As a word of caution, the small 18.7cl bottle holds more than one glass. The label clearly states '75 calories', but the small print underneath states 'per glass'. So if you're likely to drink it all, be aware that the whole bottle has 112 calories.
Nutritional Information: Per 100ml rose: 60 calories, <0.1g protein, 1.8g carbohydrate, 1.8g sugar, <0.1g fat, <0.1g saturates, <0.1g fibre, <0.1g salt. Suitable for vegetarians. Each 75ml glass is worth 2 Weight Watchers ProPoints.
Nutritional Information: Per 100ml white: 60 calories, <0.1g protein, 2.2g carbohydrate, 2.2g sugar, <0.1g fat, <0.1g saturates, <0.1g fibre, <0.1g salt. Suitable for vegetarians. Each 75ml glass is worth 2 Weight Watchers ProPoints.

Today, the Barber Silver Dime Coin remembers the pickpocket school that was prevalent in the 1890s. Of course, pickpockets still exist, and there must be more schools throughout the years.
From the newspaper, The Evening World., May 15, 1894, Brooklyn [NY] Last Edition:
Young Thieves To Be Tried.
Boy Pickpockets Arraigned in Court and Held in $500.
An Older Crook Caught In Central Park by Officer McGee.
Bernard Ragofsky, of 3 Allen street, and Mendel Mendelovitz, of 47 Ludlow street, aged fifteen and thirteen years respectively, arrested Sunday afternoon by Park Policeman McGee for picking pockets in the Central Park monkey house, were each held in $500 bail for trial by Justice Voorhis this morning In Yorkvllle Court.
Young Mendelovitz says that a regular school for the instruction of pickpocket's has for years been flourishing on the east side, and that Artful Dodgers are graduated there by the dozen.
Mendelovitz's mother, who was in court this morning, told Justice Voorhis that she had no knowledge of the work the boy was concerned in.
Ragofsky is evidently older In crime and has learned the lesson of silence. Both boys as they stood before the Justice's desk, rested their hands on its edge. The popular idea that a slim hand, with taper, flexible lingers, is characteristic of the professional pickpocket, had ample verification in both cases.
The older boy, in particular, has a hand that any lady might be proud of. It is soft and slim, and the fingers from the second joint tapered to the filbert-shaped nail.
The fingers looked as if they might have been moulded by the continued wearing of long thimbles. The police think this by no means improbable.
Ragofsky's brother, Nathan, who said he was twenty-two years old, and a cigar-maker, appeared In court. Nathan said that Bernard lived with him at 3 Allen street. Both of the boy's parents, he said, were in Poland. He had brought Bernard to America two and a half years ago.
For the first six months, he said, Bernard lived with an uncle in Baltimore, and two years ago came to New York. Nathan said that Bernard was a peddler, and that was what he thought he was doing during the day.
Justice Voorhis tried to make Nathan admit that some jewelry he wore had been given him by his younger brother, but he denied this emphatically, declaring that he knew nothing of the lad's stealings.
According to Mendelovitz's story, he had been taught to pick pockets by Abe Solomon, who, he said, lived in Suffolk street, between Grand and Hester, and has been teaching boys the art of thieving for the last four years.
Associated with Solomon, the boy said, was Barney Jubal, who lives in Ludlow street in the same block with Mendelovitz. There were also one Yedditch, of Division street, near Clinton; a young man named Tepp, and Philip Quatsky, who acted as instructors and showed the pupils how to extract articles of value from people's pockets.
Quatsky laid out the work for Mendelovitz on the day the latter was arrested. The Bowery, Battery Park and Central Park were favorite fields for the pocket-picking industry, the boy said.
Central Park was, he said, "dead easy graft" since the un-uniformed detectives had been replaced by the gray coated policemen.
Inspector McLaughlin said this morning that he had not heard about the alleged school for pickpockets, but would investigate the story. He was inclined to think, however, that the lad had been romancing.
Capt. Schultz, of the Delancy street station, in whose precinct the alleged Fagins live, according to Mendelovitz, started out this morning with Detectives Shalvey and Hussey, to gather in the men named if they could be found. No arrests had been made up to noon to-day.
Park Policeman McGee caught another pickpocket in Central Park yesterday. MeGee's last prisoner is Frank McGrath, aged twenty-four, who said he is a waiter out of work, and lives at 246 West Twenty-seventh street. He was found plying his vocation in the tiger house.
At 4:40 o'clock in the afternoon one of the tigers had a fit and a crowd gathered in front of his cage. Among those present was Mrs. Mary Grraper, of 100 Seventh avenue. McGee saw McGrath's hand in her dress pocket and caught hold of his arm before he had time to withdraw it. He was held for trial in $500.
A young pickpocket was held for trial by Justice Koch to Essex Market Court today. He is Nathan Zauzer, sixteen years old, of 445 Rodney street, Brooklyn. He is said to have stolen a silver watch from Abraham Lipstein, of 141 Stanton street, while the latter was looking in a Norfolk street show window. Joseph Sparer, twelve years old, witnessed the theft and caused the arrest of Zauzer.
The Barber Silver Dime Coin shows with an artist's image, circa 1891, of a pickpocket school teaching the art of thievery.

For commutes in Pittsburgh to be seamless, welcoming, and intuitive, we must ensure that residents and visitors to the city with disabilities have access to multiple forms of transportation, just as those without disabilities do. Our idea brings accessible ride-sharing to Pittsburgh through strategic partnerships, and by establishing a community of practice, accelerating a market for this much-needed service. This will allow those with disabilities utilize flexible, on-demand transportation services regardless of physical or intellectual impairment. The demand is there, yet it does not exist – our solution changes that.
To implement our solution in Pittsburgh, we have partnered with Mobility 4 All (M4A), a technology platform focused on addressing the unique needs of riders with disabilities. M4A is a start-up mobility management company based in Minnesota, whose mission is to provide high quality, safe and cost effective transportation for people with disabilities. The platform acknowledges the role that caregivers play in the lives of those with disabilities, and understands how riders with disabilities differ from traditional riders. It provides the ability for caregivers to schedule rides for people with disabilities, and to load payment for rides onto the app.
Achieva is another partner and ally for our solution to be successfully implemented. As a local nonprofit organization that provides services through the entire life-span of people with disabilities, they're very interested in improving transportation needs for the clients that they serve. In this respect, they will serve as a testing partner, though we also plan to provide our service to riders with disabilities outside their population.
Our team serves as the intermediaries and platform builders, bringing together these key partners to successfully pilot our solution in Pittsburgh. We are poised to build the infrastructure necessary to implement our solution here. We will be responsible for hiring drivers, and training them to understand the needs of riders with disabilities. The drivers will be trained not only to assist riders inside the vehicle, but also to provide any other assistance needed – for example, getting out of their house, or into their destination. We will implement the pilot, capturing data and user feedback, allowing us to iterate and expand based on information that we collect. We will build a community of drivers, riders, and advocates of people with disabilities in Pittsburgh who can champion our solution and help it grow to meet its fullest potential.

Cooking With Fernet Branca
Author(s): James Hamilton Patterson
Gerald Samper, an effete Englishman, lives on a hilltop in Tuscany. He is a ghostwriter for celebrities, and a foodie, whose weird tastes include 'Mussels in Chocolate and Garlic' and 'Fernet Branca Ice Cream'. His idyll is shattered by the arrival of Marta, a vulgar woman from a former Soviet republic now run by gangsters, notably male members of her family. She is a composer in a neo-folk style who claims to be writing a score for a trendy Italian film director. The neighbours' lives disastrously intertwine. The entourages of the rock star and the director come and go; mysterious black helicopters bring news of mayhem in Voynova, Marta's homeland; and along the way the English obsession with Tuscany is satirized mercilessly.

Dear Beautiful You…
It has been some time since We sat, saw and shared.
Thank You for You, Dear Beautiful You.
Do You know that You are Divine?
Have You remembered lately that all comes from love?
Love is the seed, it is up to the vision and hand of the Farmer how the plant will grow.
Vulnerable in this moment, it is good to see You again.
The word 'vulnerable', is a good lesson to learn by. Another one that I find of immense importance at this time is 'intense'.
This Scorpio Full Moon is a full moon of both new found vulnerability and extreme intensity.
Upheaval usually is.
Right now, the Sun grows into the sign of steady Taurus, whilst the Moon becomes active with a Scorpionic life/death/ReBirth creative charge.
It is a sensual dance of growth and fertility gliding in rhythmic embrace to cathartic death rituals from the feet of Shiva, Himself for his Beloved, Parvati-
Beautiful You, this is the time to actively create the spiral steps of Your own Nataraja and bring Your own Universe into its in-formed Creation. By Your power and by Your choice.
To create in New Moon energies, We must outgrow in the shadow's light of the Full Moon. This is the time to go beyond, grow beyond, move beyond and transform.
Dear Beautiful You, Master YourSelf.
This involves going into the dark spaces and rather than claim, blame or shame-
Sit with the feelings that arise, and move deeper than that. No judgement and no guilt, solely witness the feelings. When We do not react off of Our reactions to Our feelings, We allow Ourselves to go deeper into the experience. As this happens, Our reactive states naturally quiet themselves so that more may be revealed.
In revealing, comes revelation.
To see.
We can see Our perspectives that bring about Our feelings, when We choose to sit down and look at things rather than emotionally react. Our feelings come as reaction to Our very own perspectives and that perspective is always Our choice to be chosen. Your choice. My choice. We choose. Our story.
Dear Beautiful You, You are this powerful.
This Full Moon, You deserve to allow YourSelf:
~to remember.
~to respond from heart rather than react in fear.
~to take bigger steps and to honour how far You have made it- to here.
~to take accountability for how You choose to feel and how often that You choose 'happy' in Your moments…
~to let Others be accountable for how they choose to feel and how often that they choose 'happy' in their moments.
~to love Self unconditionally, and know that each decision and each unfolding has all been in perfection.
As always, it is always an honour to share a moment, a thought and breath with You-
Dear Beautiful You.
Be Blessed As You Are A Blessing.

When a CTY classmate challenged Ian Scheffler to solve Rubik's Cube in fewer than 20 seconds, he dismissed the task as impossible. But years later when a writing assignment lead him to the 2012 Rubik's Cube US National Championship—and a reunion with Toby Mao, his erstwhile CTY friend—Scheffler was drawn into the world of competitive Rubik's Cube solving.
According to Google's supercomputers, the maximum number of moves required to solve any of the 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible configurations of Rubik's Cube is 20—otherwise known as God's Number. "You can spend a lot of time solving the Cube, there's an elegance to it, like a math proof," explains Scheffler.
Scheffler, a Columbia University graduate and writer living in New York City, set out to solve the puzzle in under 20 seconds, a barrier not unlike the four-minute mile—while documenting his experience in his new book, "Cracking The Cube: Going Slow to Go Fast and Other Unexpected Turns in the World of Competitive Rubik's Cube Solving" (Touchstone, October 2016).
The book also details Scheffler's quest to capture the untold history of the Cube. After two years of trying, he managed to interview Ernő Rubik, its inventor, a reclusive Hungarian who charmingly refers to his creation as, "My cube," and views it almost as his child.
On the playground at CTY Los Angeles, Scheffler "cubed" for fun. "It was something we could all bond over," he says. But now, in competition, there were higher stakes, and he had to overcome obstacles like the stress of solving on stage and injury. After revamping some of what he honed at CTY, he has now solved the puzzle roughly 15,000 times.
Cubing and writing at the same time proved a challenge, Scheffler says. "While writing the book, I knew I couldn't finish until I knew I would succeed. But not getting to under-20 seconds didn't mean I could move the deadline." Luckily for Scheffler, the persistence paid off—he's officially solved the Cube in 16 seconds. - Mandie Boardman

Live @ Lotusphere 2010: A Look at the Collaboration Market
The market for collaboration software is big.
As in, really big.
As in $14B big.
But it's not just one market, it's a lot of different markets with different sub-segments and user bases and geo breakouts (that's marketing speak…pretty fancy, huh?).
On Wednesday, Scott and I had an opportunity to sit down with my esteemed colleague, Carol Galvin, principle segment analyst with IBM Market Insights who specializes in the Lotus realm.
Our discussion was far-reaching, including an overview of the collaboration market, the Lotus Knows marketing campaign, the cloud v. on-premise opportunity, and even the changing demographics and impact of the "consumerization" of IT on enterprise collaboration spend and user expectations.
I hope you'll find it as fascinating a discussion as we did!

Reading the local paper the other day, during a slow spot at work, I came across the most amazing and hopeful article I have read in a long time. The article "Pure Greenback Cutthroat Trout Confirmed in Remote Colorado Stream", immediately caught my eye. Not only that, the "remote stream" the article mentions, is just outside my hometown. Before I was done reading I literally had tears in my eyes.
The Greenback Cutthroat Trout, once thought to be common to rivers in Colorado has turned out to be anything but. After some DNA tests were conducted on various "Greenback" populations of fish in different parts of the state, it turned out that none of them were pure greenbacks. This raised serious concerns that the fish was in fact extinct. Crazy thing is, they would be if it weren't for an old hermit named Joesph C. Jones.
Joseph Jones lived in what in now known as Jones Park, a valley in the mountains southwest of my fair city of Colorado Springs. Jones, a prospector and explorer, ended up buying the land in 1873 for $200. Hating to make frequent trips into town for food and supplies, Jones brought the then pure Greenback Cutthroat from the South Platte River, dug out some pools in Bear Creek, and stocked them there. There they would survive; while the rest of the Greenbacks were slowly decimated by habitat destruction, disease, and the introduction of the non-native species of trout. The article says:
A study unraveling the genetics of Colorado's state fish, the greenback cutthroat trout, has found that pure greenbacks exist only on a 4-mile stretch of a creek southwest of Colorado Springs.
The University of Colorado study using DNA analysis and historical specimens also is triggering a federal re-evaluation of the biological status of greenback cutthroats, which are listed as 'threatened' rather than 'endangered.'
'We've known for some time that the trout in Bear Creek were unique,' said Doug Krieger, senior aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. 'But we didn't realize they were the only surviving greenback population.'
Because of this amazing find, and the efforts of an old hermit, the Colorado Department of Wildlife has now begun a breeding program to breed and release over a thousand pure Greenbacks back into the South Platte sometime next year.
But like many stories of endangered species this one has it's dark side. A nearby trail, within the Bear Creek watershed is open to motorcycle use. A few weeks back the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit against the US Forest Service to close the trail to motorcycle use over concerns that turbidity (a fancy term for excess dirt in the water) may cause harm to the now rare fish. So here we have the classic dichotomy between the "enviros" and the "dirt bikers". From my point of view, considering how close this species is to extinction, a temporary closure would be a good idea, but to be fair, should include hikers as well. I will be drafting up a letter to the Forest Service in the coming weeks to say just that.
Despite the arguments over the trails, I was ecstatic. The idea that through the agency of Ol' Jones, the Gods had made a place for this fish to survive, filled me with immense hope. It has been an example to me of how man can *help* rather than harm.
May the Gods bless the Greenback!

By Mike Fay, NG Explorer-in-Residence
10 April 2012
The Claymore has returned, Enric and the rest of the team are back on the island, and there is a fish fry in the making. I walked down from Highest Point to the Landing where everyone would gather to board the longboat and catch the fish. I got down there thinking that maybe the plan would be scrapped because it was raining—a lot. Sure enough there were just three other people who also didn't know if it was going to happen.
The Community Comes Together
Then about 10:30 quads started to arrive. It was happening. The Pitcairners were soon pushing on the side of the long boat and it slid right down the rails into the harbor. The waves were not too bad and the sea was pretty flat. It had rained all night so there would be lots of fresh water, which Bren says is not good for fishing. Also there would be soil in the water below the slides, but we could avoid that.
After 30 minutes about 20 people, young and old, were loaded up with their paraphernalia: hand lines, fishing poles, spear guns, and scuba gear. We broke through the surf and headed east inside of Adam's Rock. We got to the spot we'd hoped to fish, but the swell was way too high and we made a hasty retreat. Randy Christian was out there with his boat and it looked like he was there to stay. His brother Shawn was following us in the Stabicraft.
We ended up anchoring right in front of Bounty Bay. Everyone was busy getting their equipment into the water. It was like being in a party boat, except there wasn't that frantic kind of competition to get your hook in the water first because all the fish was destined to be eaten at the common fish fry tonight. Pitcairn, despite the normal conflicts that arise after 200 years of living in a close-knit community, is still communal in a lot of ways. That is a good way to live.
Fish to Fry and Sacrificial Eels
The first person that I saw catch a fish was one of the old timers. He was just sitting on the deck quietly, with his face to the bow, letting the fish do the work. He jerked slightly and pulled his hand line in. It was a nanwe, which is one of the prize yet abundant fish around the island. Then someone else got one, and another, all nanwe.
Bren and I were using heavy line. We switched to smaller gear. Sure enough as soon as we did that Bren hooked into a fish. It was a moray eel. She said they don't eat the eels but you pretty much have to kill them because they roll themselves up around the line and are almost impossible to get off otherwise.
I hooked a fish, a small snapper. The rest were catching a mix of snapper, grouper, and nanwe. In the meantime Dave went off spear fishing in scuba gear with our underwater cinematographer Manu San Felix in the Stabicraft. They were probably going to outfish us all.
The rain started to pound and didn't let up for a couple of hours. Even though it was plenty warm I started to get a bit chilled, just sitting and fishing. I warmed up quick though when I hooked what I thought was a fish. Then I could feel I was solidly hooked to the bottom. I tugged hard and sure enough it let loose, but it was heavy—something was on the line. I pulled it up and there was another, bigger moray eel. Yet another one of these guys would be getting sacrificed.
I caught a few more small snappers; Bren did the same. We never did catch a nanwe, while some of our fellow fishermen had hooked and landed at least 10. If the fish fry were up to me we would have been starving. After another hour of the pounding rain it let up and the fishermen decided that we had enough. We headed for the Landing. The Stabicraft followed.
Laying Out the Feast
Once we got the fish to the place where they clean them we had a good pile. Then Dave brought his. He had parrot fish, some bigger groupers, and snappers so he added all the big fish to the pile. One and all pitched in to scale, gut, chunk or filet, skin and then thin-slice the fish until we had a nice big pile of white flesh in a bowl.
In the meantime Randy came back in with his boat. He had snappers and grouper. Then he pulled two nice yellowfin tuna out of his boat. Wow that was the jackpot of the day. One was about 8 lbs and the other about 15 lbs. These guys were cut into chunky filets. Randy hauled them home to make fish balls for the dinner. The rest went with the women for the fry.
Enjoying the "Bounty" of the Sea
Just a few hours later the entire town congregated in the public square. Everyone brought something. There was manioc, taro, breadfruit, greens, and about 10 different kinds of fish, including tuna sashimi. What a feast it was.
Afterwards, Enric showed the Pitcairners the results of the marine survey he and his team had done here and at the surrounding islands. People were blown away by the presentation. So much life in their waters. You could see that they were all very proud of what they have. It was a fitting end to our voyage, eating from the "bounty" of a rich and healthy sea and discussing how to keep it that way forever.

Women are less likely to invest than men, with only two in 10 (21%) aged 40 to 55 holding money in the stock market compared to over a third (34%) of men in the same age bracket.
According to research by consumer website Boring Money, the three major barriers to investing are confidence, willingness to engage, and time.
Its survey of over 6,000 people also found that men are twice (30%) as happy as women (17%) to pick their own investments, while women are far more likely to use a financial adviser – with 25% of women saying they use or would use an IFA to help them choose what to invest in compared to 19% of men.
Women are also more likely than men to seek investment recommendations from friends and family.
Boring Money chief executive, Holly Mackay, says: "Our failure to engage women as long-term investors simply exacerbates a key problem we face – women are typically paid less, earn less and are also less likely to engage with the investment products which could deliver better returns for long-term savings.
"We need to tell people that investing can be for them, regardless of their gender, age or net monthly wage, or attempts to deliver equality in later life will fall short. This is a bigger issue than simply looking at the pay gap."
Similar research conducted by Alliance Trust Savings also found that women have less confidence in investing, with less than half (44%) seeing it as a calculated risk to grow their money, compared to two thirds (66%) of men. Women are also far more likely to be put off by investment risk warnings, self-identifying an average level of concern of 6.9 on a scale of 0-10 when warned they may get back less than they put in, compared to 5.7 for men.
Sara Wilson, head of platform proposition at Alliance Trust Savings, comments: "Unknowingly, women could be putting their financial futures at risk through fear of investing and not prioritising their long-term finances. With interest rates currently so low, inflation is eroding the value of cash savings in real terms. The gender pay gap is still very real and changes to the state pension age mean women's pre-retirement incomes are now falling."
She adds: "The financial services industry needs to tackle this issue head on to give women much needed financial confidence now."
That said, Boring Money found similar numbers of men and women want investing to be simple – 14% of men and 14% of women want a simple ready-made option from the organisation they're using to help them invest, while 12% of men and 13% of women want a shortlist of investments to choose from.
The investment gap between men and women also narrows when it comes to the younger generation, with 45% of women under 25 having no savings or investments and 40% of men in this age group saying the same.
