9x12x1.5 mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas
Golden Fluid and Heavy Body Acrylic, molding paste, collage material
My contribution to Illustration Friday's pick o'tha week "Theory"
My theory is "only when I am found, can I be me". so where am I? am I hiding from myself? or am I hiding in plain sight? These are the thoughts I ponder.
What about you? Are you lost or found?
Here's a cool site to see what other's have found while they were out looking:
www.foundmagazine.com created by Davy Rothbart and some of the great "Found" books by the same author here .
"Found is an uncommon tribute to and commentary on everyday life-- a collage of disparate "found" items sent by readers across the nation, ranging from love letters to doodles to shopping lists"
"You grow up the day you have your first real laugh, at yourself"
Now quit lingering and go find yourself!

Andrea, I love this beautiful piece, and the spirit that comes with it. A lovely thought to begin my day today. The image of the child works especially well in this piece, and the puzzle imagery is great.
I love to find myself, but I need to allow myself to get lost more in my art. I trust I will find my way back again. :))

i need to refind myself every day, sometimes I am easily found, sometimes I am lost and I have forgotten what I am like. Other statements about me seem true for awhile, until I find myself again and I know they aren't. My beginning lies only a short time ago in history, not in my childhood. I have no past to cling to, as it was all an illusion. I start 14 years ago and my efforts to be stem from that time. A short span of tie to build up experience in. I do alright, though, and pretty soon, I can maybe make a picture like yours.

A great fashion suggestion that applies to everybody is never to get slack and dress in your fitness footwear when you're not in fact carrying out any athletic activities. Athletic shoes are naturally ideal for the fitness center, but you should hang them up after and put on a pair of a lot more everyday boots. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Objjj777rv[/url]

Make certain you continue to be maintaining a healthy diet when you are expectant. Simply because you have cravings for junk foods does not always mean that you have to cave into them, or that you can't discover healthier alternate options.

Blink will star Al Pacino
By Jessica Schneider May 18, 2009, 16:10 GMT
In his #1 bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. In BLINK, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. How do we make decisions--good and bad--and why are some people so much better at it than others? That\'s the question Malcolm Gladwell asks and answers in BLINK. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, examining case studies as diverse as speed ...more
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, by Malcolm Gladwell is being made into a film. According to Reuters, the starring role will go to the Great Al Pacino.
Reuters also notes: The project initially had been set up at Universal but has been reincarnated as an independent film, with William Morris Independent's Incentive film fund coming up with the financing and shopping the package to U.S. distributors here in Cannes.
This non-fiction title rocked the best seller lists, and Pacino, known for such starring roles in films such as The Godfather, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon, is always a pleasant addition.
PW notes that the author: has a dazzling ability to find commonality in disparate fields of study. As he displays again in this entertaining and illuminating look at how we make snap judgmentsabout people's intentions, the authenticity of a work of art, even military strategyhe can parse for general readers the intricacies of fascinating but little-known fields like professional food tasting (why does Coke taste different from Pepsi?). Gladwell's conclusion, after studying how people make instant decisions in a wide range of fields from psychology to police work, is that we can make better instant judgments by training our mind and senses to focus on the most relevant factsand that less input (as long as it's the right input) is better than more.

American shad: Our iconic fishJanuary 31,2013Many areas in this country have iconic species that add to the sense of place for the people who live there. The Texas Gulf Coast is busy working to restore the iconic Kemps ridley sea turtle. Here we are restoring the American shad (Alosa sapidissima) to the Connecticut River. The dams in Massachusetts built in the late 1700s extirpated shad from the Upper Valley. The comeback of the American shad is due in part to the fish passage facilities added at all the dams from Long Island Sound to Wilder.
Shad intertwine in the history of our valley and our country. First Americans caught shad during spring runs and taught colonists how to catch shad to stay alive. The petroglyphs at Bellows Falls are the markers left by the tribes that used the falls as a site for capturing shad. George Washington was a well-known shad angler and beyond personally taking shad from the Potomac River, as the Continental Army camped along the Schuylkill River at Valley Forge, dried shad is what stood between the troops and starvation. Valley farmers took advantage of this seemingly endless supply of fish, using shad as food for themselves and fertilizer for their fields.
American shad are typically 20 to 24 inches in length and as anadromous fish spend most of their lives in salt water. They range along the Atlantic Seaboard and its large river estuaries from Labrador to Florida. As adults, they travel in large schools along coastal areas and may migrate more than 12,000 miles over four or five years until they are sexually mature and return to freshwater rivers to spawn.
Each shad river along the Atlantic seaboard has a distinct spawning stock that homes in on only its birth river. Shad are broadcast open water spawners. A single female accompanied by several males releases up to 600,000 eggs over several sessions. At best, 1 percent of fertilized eggs will become adult shad. Southern shad populations spawn and then almost all die, but 60 percent or more of the shad spawning in northern rivers survive spawning. Fish that do survive can live for 10 years and will return to the Connecticut River to spawn several times in their lifetimes.
Water temperatures are critical to American shad during their life cycles. They usually spawn at water temperatures between 57 and 69 degrees. The best survival of eggs and larvae occurs at temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees. Temperatures above 75 degrees cause larval abnormalities. The eggs are transparent, pink to amber, and because they are semi-buoyant, they roll along the river bottom with the current.
Depending on temperature, eggs hatch in six to 15 days. Newly hatched young remain in fresh water until fall when they move downstream to brackish water where they may remain for a year before moving out to the ocean.
Larval and juvenile American shad are prey for a variety of predators, including American eels, bass and striped bass. Once shad enter the ocean, they are food for sharks, blue fish, tuna, and porpoises. Adult shad in rivers have few predators other than human fishers.
Shad are primarily plankton feeders but do eat small shrimp, fish eggs and occasionally small fish. Larvae consume small crustaceans, midge larvae and pupae, and caddis fly larvae. In a field test to determine competition among related species, scientists found that in fresh water, Chironomid larvae and pupae (a small non-biting aquatic insect) made up 53.2 percent of the diet of shad. When adult American shad are off shore, they feed on plankton, small crustaceans and shrimp.
American shad are native to the East Coast. Once introduced into the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento River system in California in the mid-1800s, shad have now spread, through additional stocking or natural migration throughout the Great Lakes, and West Coast rivers, all the way to Alaska.
Their Latin name sapidissima is variously interpreted to mean delicious, savory, good to eat and most delicious, yet they are such a bony fish that one First American tribe called them a porcupine turned inside out. Two ways to make the fish more palatable is to slow-cook fillets by steaming or poaching to dissolve the smaller bones.
The most original version of this approach was used by a fisher friend who cooked his shad in the top rack of his automatic dishwasher set on high dry temperature. The other method is planking. Bone the shad fillet as best you can and nail the fillet to a plank with strips of salt pork or bacon and stand the plank up, right next to an open fire.
The filleting and the slow cooking make the fish more enjoyable. The shad roe (egg sacks) are excellent fried or sautéed without any special treatment.
We are making progress toward fully restoring the American shad in the Connecticut River. We do have a way to go, but restoring this iconic fish to its historic range will well reward us when we are successful.

If you support having additional airlines provide service to Salem, below are the airlines with the best potential to serve Salem and the possible cities they would serve from Salem. You are encouraged to contact them. Click on the "Contact Us" link to reach thier customer service.
story of the return of Airline Service to Salem:
To have Delta Air Lines return commercial airline service to Salem, The Salem Municipal Airport applied for a $500,000 grant from the US Department of Transportation Small Community Air Service Program. Salem competed with cities all over the United States and was successful in winning the full amount it applied for. As part of the grant, Salem Area Businesses were to contribute $100,000 for marketing the new service. With the help from the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, $75,000 was raised, the Oregon Department of Aviation contributed the remaining $25,000 from its Oregon Air Service Initiative Program. The Salem Airport also contributed over $50,000 in kind donations from waived landing fees for the first year.
The most recent conversations had been with Delta Air Lines with twice daily service to Salt Lake City, with connections to 111 locations, and a possible daily flight to Los Angeles with 31 domestic connections. There would be 3 international connections from Salt Lake City and 15 international connections from Los Angeles. They are using 50 passenger regional jets. The Small Community Air Service Grant described above and another $500,000 travel bank was raised by the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce from local businesses and was offered to Delta, along with a $100,000 marketing package. This effort was successful with Delta beginning service on June 7, 2007. The service ended on October 9, 2008 due to rising fuel prices.
Earlier conversations with Horizon Air indicated the service would start with three daily flights to Seattle-Tacoma Airport (Sea-Tac) on a 37 passenger turbo-prop aircraft. From there, travelers would have the option of 63 domestic and 13 international connecting opportunities. Click below to see the opportunities:
....................The Cities (PDF)................ The Route Map (jpg)
Horizon Air still looks at the Salem market as to whether to return or not. It is a bottom line issue and the service must show a profit for Horizon Air. We still keep in contact with Horizon Air and Salem has the most to offer over any other city seeking passenger plane service.
Allegiant Airlines
would provide 4 times weekly service to Las Vegas. The will use 130 passenger
MD 83 jets. Allegiant is very interested in serving Salem and conversations

The Observer's Jim Schutze wrote a great article about the mosquito / West Nile / paranoid spraying that will be going on in Dallas County.
I haven't done the research Jim has, but here's my opinion in the matter – it sucks to not have the choice to be subjected to poison falling from the sky. There's enough shit in the air, water and food supply without adding to it. At least I have a degree of control over some of this. I don't have to eat fast food (I do, but limited…). I don't have to drink alcohol (I do, but…well no, not limited…). I don't have to smoke (I don't…). But…I do have to be either inside with the air conditioning on or outside. There aren't many other options outside of that. I am a sweaty son of a bitch, so sitting around inside with no air in the Dallas heat is not one of my options, people. I think the whole thing is ridiculous.

The 5 Best Lady Antebellum Videos (page 5)
1. Need You Now
It's no surprise this song tops any type of [mp3com-artist]Lady Antebellum[/mp3com-artist] list. Being their most successful hit and one that launched them into the lines of pop music as well, "Need You Now" gave the band four GRAMMY awards in 2011 and a slew of other country music awards. The video follows the storyline of two people who feel the weight of loneliness in the middle of the night. It's a song about longing and need which people across the world related to.
"We were a little worried though, about that one line: 'It's a quarter after one, and I'm a little drunk'," says Charles Kelley. "We were wondering if it was OK to say that!" Though in the video, you see Charles drinking coffee, not Whiskey. The video director didn't want it to be a literal adaptation of the song.

Health Tip: Using a Pedometer
Some handy suggestions
(HealthDay News) -- A pedometer measures the amount of steps you take while walking or running. The size of a small portable phone, it attaches to a belt or waistband.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs mentions these guidelines for using a pedometer:
- Make sure the pedometer is attached with its clip and leash, and that it doesn't get dropped or lost.
- Make sure the pedometer doesn't get wet.
- Initially walk a minimum of 20 steps, to ensure the pedometer is measuring your steps properly. If it doesn't appear to be counting your steps correctly, reposition the device.
- Note that a pedometer isn't able to measure activity from cycling or swimming.

Dr. Mary Ruwart is a leading expert in libertarian communication. In this column she offers short answers to real questions about libertarianism. To submit questions to Dr. Ruwart, see end of column.
QUESTION: Recently in the Liberator Online you answered a question with the following supporting argument:
"For example, about 75% of the tax dollars that are targeted to welfare programs actually go to the middle-class administrators rather than the needy. In contrast, private programs give about 75% of donated dollars to the poor. Thus, the poor get more when charitable giving is private."
I am interested in where you got your statistics. I want to share this argument with friends, but I like to provide references. Could you do so? Read more

I recently took a look at my 10 favorite national albums of last year; here's my look at the best releases out of St. Louis in 2013.
To accompany my forthcoming St. Louis-centric list, here's a look at my favorite 10 albums on the national and regional scene, in no particular order.
A few tracks into Meatloaf's introduction to the world, a husky-voiced narrator asks, "On a hot summer night, will you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?"
Dear STL, keep being awesome. This year saw the band I'd nurtured for six years coming to an end, but a beginning to so many cool, freaky awesome bands from friends of mine. If 2012 is any indication, St. Louis music is back in a big way.
In this list, I look back at some of the best album reissues that came out in 2010. What were your favorite rediscoveries?
Below is my list of 10 favorite albums from St. Louis-based artists released in 2010. For my list of national releases, go here.
Here are my Top Ten favorite albums of 2010 (released nationally), listed alphabetically with comments.
Earlier this year, we told you Ultimate Fakebook was back. And we meant it. The band's album Daydream Radio Is Smiling Static rejuvenated its fan base and got UFB out on the road again.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Big Daddy's Brew & Que to open at Bayshore on Friday
Big Daddy's Brew & Que, the new barbecue restaurant at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale that I told you about last month, debuts officially at 11 this morning.
It replaces Ovation restaurant at the iPic Theaters, toward the north end of the shopping center at 5800 N. Bayshore Drive, off N. Port Washington Road. The restaurant serves the general public, not just movie-goers.
The restaurant smokes its meats in house, and has daily specials and meals for two and for five to six (the meal for two is called the Feeding Frenzy: smoked beef brisket and tenderloin, pulled pork, rib tips, pulled chicken, fries baked beans and cornbread). »Read Full Blog Post

I was diagnosed with papillary thryoid cancer 2 years ago and had my entire thyroid removed.

You have to burn more calories than you take in, in order to lose weight. Do you know what your BMR is? You will use some calories through your BMR - it's been said, approximately 50% of the calories you use/day will be BMR, the rest will be exercise. If you're hitting that 2900 calorie mark, you're probably eating too many.

25 mcg might be plenty for some people, while
mcg might be way too much. You might be fine with a starting dose of
mcg, but it would have been way too much for me. It's always best to start with the lowest dose and work your way up slowly, giving your body time to adjust to the medication. When looking for an endo, be careful, there too. Many endos specialize in diabetes and are not good thyroid doctors.

And in reality, this isn't the case either. Now, to understand how exercise effects
, you have to understand how your body creates energy, and there are only 2 ways it does it. One is by burning fat and the other is by burning blood sugar, or glucose. Even when you're not doing anything strenuous your body still burns fat. It's known as "Resting Metabolic Rate." So, when you're sitting at a desk, driving a car, watching TV, or even sleeping, your body is still burning fat.

Absolutely. I lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. Have you had off the hook anxiety for the last 6 to 8 months? For me everything tasted like cardboard and I had no desire to eat.

Lead People Outdoors
Indoor paving and flooring don't like to get wet, and cannot meet outdoor slip coefficients. Ideally, the same materials flow from the inside to the outside, but this is not always easy, and communication between the interior designer and landscape architect is essential.
The challenges can be well worth the hassles, especially in warmer climates. As discussed, the hospitality industry has been creating these types of outdoor spaces for years, particularly in the market dominated by the Gen-Y consumer. In hospitality, it is all about experiences.
As the resort and nightclub trends continue to gain momentum, interior designers and landscape architects will be pushed to create these unique environments. Challenging, but rewarding!
Victoria Currens is a principal with Style Interior Design, a full-service hospitality/commercial interior-design firm that works with some of the largest multi-family and master-planned community developers in the nation. The award-winning company has created innovative design solutions for a wide range of projects, including clubhouses, multi-family leasing centers, resorts, conference centers, spas, and information centers for master-planned communities.

Program/Project Management
Support is building in Congress for legislation that would delay and weaken long-planned regulation of the cement industry.
U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, both Pennsylvania Republicans, are the latest to call on the Environmental Protection Agency to delay emissions rules that have been in the works for 13 years.
5-Year Delay Sought
Dent has added his name to H.R. 2681, introduced July 28 by Rep. John Sullivan (R-OK) and co-sponsored by 10 lawmakers: eight Republicans and Democrats Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania and Nick J. Rahall II of West Virginia.
Sullivan's "Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act of 2011" would postpone implementation of the EPA's "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry and Standards of Performance for Portland Cement Plants" and two other emissions rules for five years. Well before then, EPA would be forced to rewrite the rules.
The measure is now before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
2013 Deadline
EPA published the final cement rule in September 2010; companies have until September 2013 to comply.
EPA says the rule would save up to 2,500 lives; 130,000 lost work days; 750,000 days of restricted activity; and billions of dollars in health-care costs and lost productivity.
Dent and Sullivan dispute those benefits. They say the regulations could cut the capacity of the domestic cement industry by 20 percent.
"I'm not aware that there is a plant in America that can comply with all of these rules," Dent told the Reading (PA) Eagle last week. Dent says his Lehigh Valley district is the nation's largest cement-producing district. "We can't afford to lose any more jobs at a time like this."
Senate Letter
On July 27, Toomey and 24 senators—22 of them Republican—wrote a letter to U.S. Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in support of a Senate bill similar to Sullivan's.
"Cement is the key ingredient in concrete, the foundation of American infrastructure," the letter said. "The U.S. cement industry is suffering through its greatest decline since the 1930s, with current employment down to a mere 15,000 high-wage jobs and less than $6.5 billion in 2009 annual revenues."
Toomey said in a statement: "If Congress does not act, the new regulations may impact almost 2,000 workers in 11 different cement plants across Pennsylvania, with seven of these plants located in the Allentown [PA] area alone."
New Kiln Restrictions
The EPA rule marks the first time the federal government has restricted mercury emissions from existing cement kilns. The regulations aim to reduce the annual emissions of mercury and particulate matter by 92 percent, hydrochloric acid by 97 percent, and sulfur dioxide by 78 percent.
Andy O'Hare, vice president of regulatory affairs at the Portland Cement Association, told the Allentown Morning Call that the new rules would cost the nation's 100 cement plants about $3.4 billion.
Plants have been running well below capacity since 2007, and at least 18 plants will close before 2013 because they can't comply with the new rule, O'Hare said.
O'Hare said he was not trying to stop the rule, just delay it.
"We don't want to emit these [pollutants], believe me. We've made progress," he told the newspaper. "Although it is a delay, and we're sorry to have to delay it, it will buy us more time. It will allow the industry and economy to recover."
Environmentalists: 'Huge Health Benefits'
Environmentalists say the cement industry has had plenty of time to make changes.
"Cement plants are a huge source of man-made mercury pollution and other toxic pollution in the U.S," said Emily Davis, a staff attorney at the National Resources Defense Council. "Cleaning up toxic air pollution after many years of delay will have huge health benefits for the American public."

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Officials are asking for help finding a woman missing from an Alexandria group home for people with developmental disabilities.
Lauren Taylor, 21, was last seen Tuesday night. She is described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds with blue eyes and curly red hair. She listens to her iPod, chews her fingernails and may be with a young Spanish male, officials say.
This is the third time Taylor has been reported missing. She was reported missing from her parents Alexandria home in September 2010 and was found unharmed two days later. She was also reported missing in February from the same group home. She was found safe two weeks later.
Her group home is in the 8000 block of West Boulevard in Alexandria.
Fairfax County police do not think she is in any danger. She reportedly does have a cell phone with her.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 703-246-7857 or 703-246-7526.

Tax Treaties
Ireland has signed comprehensive double taxation agreements with 72 countries, of which 68 are in effect. The agreements cover direct taxes, which in the case of Ireland are income tax, corporation tax and capital gains tax.
Commentary on typical provisions of Irish tax treaties (PDF, 71KB)
The following is a summary of the work underway to negotiate new agreements and to update old agreements:
- New agreements were signed with Ukraine on 19 April 2013, Thailand on 4 November 2013, Botswana on 10 June 2014 and Ethiopia on 3 November 2014. The legal procedures to bring these agreements into force are now being followed.
- New agreements with Uzbekistan signed on 11 July 2012, Egypt signed 9 April 2012 and Qatar signed 21 June 2012. These agreements came into force on 17 April 2013, 24 April 2013 and 13 December 2013 respectively and are effective from 1 January 2014.
- Ireland has completed the ratification procedures to bring the protocol to the existing agreement with Malaysia into force. When ratification procedures are also completed by Malaysia, the protocol will enter into force.
- A protocol to the existing agreement with Switzerland came into force on 14 November 2013 and is effective from 1 January 2014.
- Protocols to the existing agreements with Belgium, Denmark and Luxembourg were signed on 14 April, 22 July and 27 May 2014 respectively. The legal procedures to bring these protocols into force are now being followed.
- Negotiations on a new agreement with Turkmenistan, agreements to replace the existing agreements with Pakistan and Zambia and a protocol to the existing agreement with Germany have concluded and are expected to be signed shortly.
- Negotiations for new agreements with Azerbaijan and Jordan are at various stages.
- Negotiations are ongoing for the revision of the existing agreement with the Netherlands and for a protocol to the existing agreement with Mexico.
- Plans to initiate negotiations for new agreements with other countries during the rest of 2014 and into 2015 are ongoing.
Where a double taxation agreement does not exist with a particular country there are provisions in the Irish Taxes Consolidation Acts (TCA) 1997 which allow unilateral relief against double taxation in respect of certain types of income. The principal provisions granting unilateral relief are as follows:
- dividends from foreign subsidiaries:
- credit for withholding tax on dividend payments and for foreign tax paid on the underlying profits out of which the dividends were paid (paragraph 9A and B of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- pooling and carry-forward of excess foreign tax credits (paragraph 9E of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- credit for foreign tax on dividends paid by a foreign company that is a member of a group that paid tax on a consolidated basis (paragraph 9G of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- foreign branch profits:
- credit for foreign tax paid by an Irish company on profits of a foreign branch (paragraph 9DA of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- pooling of excess foreign branch tax credits (paragraph 9FA of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- foreign interest treated as trading income of the company that receives it:
- credit for foreign tax (paragraph 9D of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- pooling of excess foreign tax credits in respect of interest received from associated companies in countries with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement (paragraph 9F of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- capital gains on foreign assets:
- credit for foreign tax paid on capital gains in countries with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement but where the tax treaty with that country does not cover capital gains tax – Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Pakistan and Zambia (paragraph 9FB of Schedule 24 TCA 1997)
- exemption from tax of capital gains from disposal of shares in foreign trading subsidiary companies resident in an EU or Irish tax agreement country (section 626B TCA 1997)
There are also reliefs granted under the EU "Parent-Subsidiaries Directive" (90/435/EEC) (section 831 TCA 1997), the EU "Interest and Royalties Directive" (2003/49/EC)(section 267G-L TCA 1997), the "EU Mergers Directive" (90/434/EEC) (sections 630-638 TCA 1997) and the EU Arbitration Convention (European Communities Mutual Assistance in the Field of Direct Taxation Regulations 1978) (S.I. 334 of 1978).

Melany Sarafis served her country for 24 years and recently retired from the USAF as a First Sergeant. She thinks it's really stupid when photographers refer to themselves in the 3rd person on their biographies. I needed to do something "low speed" after a successful but stressful military career.

By Susanna Tol - Also in the world of climate change, organic is the way to go. I am not writing about organic food here, despite my personal interest in the topic, but about peatlands, which are soils with a substantial layer of organic matter at or near the surface. Well, they are the way to go for the climate as long as you treat them well. If not, they become a vigorous source of greenhouse gas emissions.
By Telly Kurniasari & Reza Lubis, Wetlands International Indonesia
Back in 2002, Wetlands International together with local partners and communities in Jambi, South Sumatra and Central Kalimantan, brought international attention to the disproportionally high Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from peatlands in Indonesia. We have shown that emissions cease when blocking the drainage canals so peatlands become wet again. We did not think that it would take more than ten years for Indonesian Government to actually replicate what we did back then but are very happy this seems to change.
Mumtadar called from the pond where he was setting nets. Life was good since they planted the mangroves along the dyke, he said. He caught more fish in his pond, and they grew bigger and quicker.

"The wave was higher than the trees. The sea came right over the village. Every building was destroyed, including all 300 houses. About 180 people were killed, more than half the population. The only people who survived were those who ran for the hills." That's how they tell it in the cafe at the entrance to Keude Unga on Aceh's west coast, which took the full brunt of the tsunami.
by Fred Pearce
Layeun is famous among the tsunami villages of Aceh. Bill Clinton came here earlier this year and brought the media. He called for new help to rebuild the lives of the fishing community whose homes disappeared beneath the waves during the tsunami.
By Fred Pearce
Precisely 256 people were living in Gampong Baro on the day the tsunami hit. Just under half of them died. Just 24 bodies were found, while 97 are registered forever "missing". Their names and ages are all listed on a stone memorial in the heart of the village.
by Fred Pearce
Azhar, leader of Lham Ujong, is a proud man. Proud of the pictures in his album of him shaking hands with dignitaries bringing aid money to the village. Proud of his Olympic torch, which he helped take round Jakarta in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics of 2008 – a privilege he was nominated for by Wetlands International. And proud especially of the trees planted in huge numbers round his village in the aftermath of the tsunami.
[This article originally appeared at Yale Environment 360, a publication of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.]
The tsunami that struck Indonesia in 2004 obliterated vast areas of Aceh province. But villagers there are using an innovative microcredit scheme to restore mangrove forests and other coastal ecosystems that will serve as a natural barrier against future killer waves and storms.

11 December 2014, Manila - Only one year after the deadly Typhoon Haiyan, which left behind over 6,000 casualties, Typhoon Hagupit has taken at least 20 lives before being downgraded to a tropical depression.
Lima, Peru – IUCN, Conservation International and Wetlands International presented a new guidebook to financing wetland carbon programs and projects during the climate conference in Lima last weekend. It will help project and program developers through the maze of financing mechanisms and options out there.
In response to the recent H5N8 outbreaks and speculation about the role of wild birds, the UN Scientific Task Force on Avian Influenza and Wild Birds (of which Wetlands International is a member) released a statement to inform stakeholders about the potential interaction between wild birds and H5N8 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) virus and appropriate ways of taking action. The statement highlights the need to protect wild birds and wetland areas as part of disease control measures. View the statement.
Much more attention is needed for greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands at the climate negotiations, according to Wetlands International. We will therefore put the spotlights on these carbon rich ecosystems at the Climate Conference in Lima, Peru next week, with the aim to get strong incentives for peatland conservation and restoration in a new climate agreement to be adopted in Paris next year.
Wetlands International is pleased to invite you for an evening reception in the European Parliament on 10 December 2014, hosted by Mr Ricardo Serrão Santos, Member of the European Parliament. The event will bring together Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and practitioners in Disaster Risk Reduction and development.
Ede, World Fisheries Day, 21st of November
Some 210 million people live in low elevation areas within 10 km of mangroves and many of these directly benefit from mangrove-associated fisheries. Yet, these people are often unaware of the key role mangroves may play, especially if the associated fisheries are offshore.
Joint Press Statement - 20th November 2014
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Five of the world's leading consumer goods manufacturers and retailers today announce their support to drive the transformation of their sector towards responsible palm oil production and sourcing.
The International Waterbird Census (IWC), coordinated by Wetlands International, is one of the world's largest and longest-running monitoring programmes. Over the years the census has provided key information to support the conservation of waterbird populations and the habitats upon which they depend. In September 2014, Wetlands International members and stakeholders met to review our recent progress and look ahead for to the future of the programme.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
What are the next steps for RSPO and its members in relation to palm oil and peatlands? 2013 was an important year with new Principles & Criteria (P&C ) adopted to address 'peatsoil subsidence' and 'greenhouse gases', both resulting from peatland drainage for palm oil plantations. Now the challenge is to get these P&C's applied and monitored successfully, and to even go some steps further and turn the RSPO into the frontrunner for the entire sector. Wetlands International participates in the 12th roundtable to raise further awareness on peatlands, particularly on 'peat soils subsidence' and to provide input and guidance for next steps for the RSPO and its members.
Het Nederlandse Rode Kruis, CARE Nederland en Wetlands International lanceren vandaag samen met Nudge de 'Dijk van een Wijk'-competitie. Dat maakte Sander de Kramer maandag namens de organisaties bekend in het programma Koffietijd op RTL4. De competitie wordt georganiseerd om mensen in Nederland op een leuke manier bewust te maken van hoe zij samen met anderen hun directe leefomgeving op een duurzame manier leefbaarder en veiliger kunnen maken. Mensen met een idee ter verbetering van hun wijk rond de thema's energie, groen, water of veiligheid, kunnen zich aanmelden op www.dijkvaneenwijk.org. Het winnende wijkteam ontvangt een geldbedrag van €10.000,- voor de uitvoering van hun idee.
Study Offers Practical Guidance for Coastal Decision-Makers
Zoological Society of London, United Kingdom, 6 November, 2014: A new guidebook on mangroves as a coastal defence finds that mangroves can reduce risk from a large number of coastal hazards. The role of mangroves in coastal defence has been widely promoted since the tsunami that struck South-East Asia in 2004. Yet, the level of protection provided by mangroves has been subject to debate.
The Dutch Soy Coalition (formed by eight development and environmental organisations*) finds that in 2013, only a quarter of the 2.4 metric tons of soy used in the Netherlands is responsibly produced. The social or environmental consequences of the production of the other three quarters of the imported soy, are not at all clear or accounted for. The target of the Netherlands is to purchase 100 percent responsible soy by 2015. This will be almost impossible to achieve now.
Date: 30 October, Venue: Glazen Zaal in The Hague. IUCN Netherlands, Wetlands International and Both Ends, allied in the Ecosystems Alliance, invite you to meet on 30 October with civil society representatives from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Indonesia and the Netherlands. Through their knowledge and experience, civil society organizations in soy and palm oil exporting countries have an important contribution to make to Dutch and EU sustainability goals, including the recent commitment to reach zero-deforestation in 2030.
At the recent Wetland Solutions Stakeholder Forum in Rotterdam held on 22 September 2014, we interviewed some of our stakeholders on why wetlands are important to them. Here is what they said:
Or can we dream of a new world where ecology, economy and society are re-connected?
By Jane Madgwick, Chief Executive Officer
Great article in Dutch newspaper 'De Volkskrant' about our pilot project in Northern Java where we are using a 'Building with Nature' approach to restore the severely eroded shoreline. This is a problem that occurs along most of the coastline in Java threatening over 30 million people in the long term. The pilot has very promising results as the title also suggests; translated 'mushy porridge turns into solid coast'.
An unprecedented large group of governments, companies, NGOs and indigenous peoples groups called for action to protect and restore the world's forests. In a declaration launched at this week's UN climate talks in New York, targets are set to stop deforestation, support sustainable alternatives and restore forests. This should lead to a cut in carbon emissions to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. Wetlands International endorses the Forest Declaration to send a message to world leaders to support a climate agreement in Paris in 2016 and take forests and land use into account.
By Jaap van Thiel de Vries, Ecoshape
Last week, I visited Indonesia together with Femke Tonneijck from Wetlands International to meet our partners that are involved in the development of a Building with Nature approach to solve the severe erosion along the muddy Northern coast of Central Java (Demak district).
Rotterdam, the Netherlands – To commemorate 60 years of Wetlands International and its predecessors on Monday 22 September Wetlands International co-hosted a global stakeholder forum at the World Trade Center Rotterdam, together with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment of the Netherlands. This was followed by an awards reception and a meeting of the Member Delegates and Board of Association.

Wolff of the Netherlands won the medal in the category of Scientific Research. Ms. Ikal Angelei of Kenya won the medal in the category of Communication, Education and Public Awareness.
In the new book "Downstream Voices" commissioned by Wetlands International, Fred Pearce takes you along his journey to three large river basins in India, Mali and Senegal where Wetlands International improves water resource management and the condition of wetlands to make communities more resilient to extreme weather events and impacts from climate change.
As part of Wetlands International's 60 year anniversary celebration, we will award our highest honour at an evening reception Monday 22 September in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
On 21 – 23 September 2014, Wetlands International will celebrate its work and achievements over the past 60 years in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. A 'Wetland Solutions for water, people and nature' event will exchange ideas on how to increase the impact of wetland solutions.

Wetlands International invites you to three inspiring workshops on improving water resource and wetland management for more resilient deltas at the conference Deltas in Times of Climate Change II, which will take place in Rotterdam in the Netherlands from 24-26 September.
By Marta Andelman, Wetlands International Argentina -
"The natural flow of water in the Parana Delta is altering," tells a local farmer. "We know this is caused by the increasing amount of infrastructure for the conversion of the Parana Delta wetlands into soy plantations. There is evidence that as a result, communities are no longer protected during the regular floods that occur in the Delta." He is eager to find solutions for this problem affecting the region as well as adjacent territories.
Wetlands International welcomes new commitments by the Indonesia government to strengthen law enforcement of the moratorium on new permits to develop peatlands and primary forests.
We deeply regret to announce that our dear friend and colleague, Andres Kuresoo passed away at his home on 2nd September. Andres was a pivotal figure in waterbird and wetland conservation. He was the Estonian national coordinator of the International Waterbird Census for many years and also a Member Delegate of his country to Wetlands International.

"Yes, we are illiterate sir, but we are engineers as far as our experience with water and rivers is concerned", says Phushi Mahato, a villager in the Gosi Kandak floodplains in North-Bihar in India.
Currently, drained peatlands for agriculture and forestry are the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gas (GHG) in the Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use sector. Join over 120 colleagues working on peatlands and climate change mitigation from all over the world, and enrol now for the webinar 'Challenges and Solutions for Responsible Peatlands Management', organised by FAO, through the web form.
Thanks to an active and laborious fire-fighting operation the recent peat and forest fires in Tver Province were localised and the region was saved from events becoming as dramatic as in 2010 when dense smoke haze covered the city of Moscow for weeks. Still, the region's economy and ecology again suffered severely from the fires, as well as the climate.
Wetlands International argues that restoration of degraded and abandoned peatlands, is one of the key solutions to avoid often reoccurring dry weather related fire events, and to reduce the release of huge amounts of peat-related carbon emissions.
RSPO members are responsible for 60% of global palm oil production. With such a large and growing responsibility, the RSPO must push on to create a level playing field for sustainable palm oil, argues Marcel Silvius.
On invitation of the Philippine government, the Dutch Risk Reduction (DRR)-team visited Manilla and Tacloban early July to assess the possibilities to protect the coastline in and around Tacloban by creating hard engineering works, planting mangrove trees and reclaiming land. The coordinator of Wetlands International in Philippines was part of this team.

Despite the long history of abuse, Senegal's Ndiaël Avifauna Special Reserve remains important, with a huge potential for restoration to benefit both people and nature, and that's why Wetlands International and our partners have committed to the rewetting of the Reserve for the past five years.
Ten years after the major tsunami hit Aceh, Indonesia in 2004, President Clinton visited the village of Layeun to find out what more can be done to support their recovery. While some areas are recovering, other communities are still on the edge of poverty. During the visit Wetlands International announced a new commitment to support and empower the villagers by restoring the local environment and working with the community to diversify their livelihoods for sustainable income generation. This initiative will build on our Green Coast project that restored coastal ecosystems after the tsunami.
June is the end of the hot and dry season in Senegal. More auspiciously, it is peak mango season. As I drove north from the capital of Dakar with a team from the Wetlands International Africa office, mango sellers blanketed the roadside selling the best mangoes I'd ever tasted.
Mbarara – On Friday 11 July 2014, Uganda's Ministry of Water and Environment made a commitment to work towards the provision of safe and adequate drinking water. The High Level Event, consisting of Uganda's Ministry of Water and Environment, local organisations, international NGOs and donors, focused on the creation of an action plan to scale-up efforts to provide safe and clean drinking water across the country.

The world's increasing demand for palm oil and pulp wood for paper production attracts the private sector to invest more and more in these businesses in Indonesia and Malaysia. But are banks, the creditors of these businesses, aware of the risks of their investments in palm oil and pulp wood plantations when these are developed on peatlands?
By Sandro Calmanti, ENEA.
Global warming may imply large fluctuations of the impact of droughts in rural areas. Adaptation strategies will likely have to cope with such variable conditions rather than with constant trends.
Today, an international network of more than one hundred twenty organizations on five continents is unveiling a powerful new Global Paper Vision that will unite the myriad of voices currently challenging the paper industry to adopt more sustainable practices.
Brussels. European Union energy ministers decided not to account for the real greenhouse gas emissions caused by biofuels used for transport in the EU. In a political agreement reached today, ministers refused to reflect indirect land-use change (ILUC) in GHG accounting and subsidy schemes for biofuels.
Park Directors from Mauritania, Senegal and Russia signed an agreement committing them to work together for the sustainable management of migratory waterbirds in critical wetlands within the three countries that are connected by the East-Atlantic Flyway. The agreement was the result of Wetlands International's 'From the Arctic to Africa' initiative to protect waterbirds flying between Africa and the Arctic. The signing took place at a flyway exchange programme that brought representatives from Mauritania and Senegal to the Arctic.
By Jan Heinrich, Wetlands International and Hernán de Arriba, ProYungas.
- With the theme 'Thinking Outside the Box', the Ninth Annual Meeting of the Round Table (RT9) on Responsible Soy (RTRS) in Brazil from 7-8 May, aimed to capture ideas on how to introduce innovation to the world of responsible soy. Supporting this vibe, ProYungas and Wetlands International presented the Socio-Environmental Observatory on Soy (OSAS), the first database that systematically monitors the expansion and social and environmental impacts of soy in Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil.[1]
Wetlands should be better managed and restored for their ability to reduce disaster risk, says Wetlands International. To stimulate this, the post-2015 framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (the Hyogo Framework for Action, to be adopted in 2015 in Japan), should pay increased attention to the key role of wetlands to reduce disaster risk and the need for integrated water resources and wetlands management. Wetlands International delivers this call at the Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction of the Americas in Guayaquil, Ecuador from 26-29 May.
Zaragoza. Experts from Spain and Portugal discussed how to restore rivers and manage landscapes to reduce flooding risks and impacts. At the same event prizes were awarded to the best short stories, poems and pictures about rivers.
Wetlands are vital storehouses of biodiversity and important bulwarks against the effects of climate change, while also providing livelihoods for millions of people, but they're being lost at an increasing rate. Geographical Magazine's Mark Rowe reports.
The giant Majnoon Oil field in Southern Iraq overlaps with the country's most important wetland area, the Mesopotamian Marshlands. Decreasing water availability is a constraint here for both the marshes and the oil industry in this dry country. Despite years of warfare and large-scale drainage, there is suddenly new hope for the marshes thanks to the collaboration of Shell and Wetlands International.
This weekend, people and organisations all over the world will celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD). The theme this year is "Destination Flyways : Migratory Birds and Tourism". WMBD was initiated in 2006 and is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the protection of migratory birds and their habitats. Wetlands International is a founding partner in this celebration and we are happy to be joined by an increasing number of partners.
Those consuming tofu and soy milk, but especially meat eaters and those driving a car should keep a critical eye on the impacts of soy cultivation. About 70 percent of soy cultivated is used for animal feed fulfilling the growing meat demands in the world, while the second largest driver of soy expansion is for the use of biodiesel. Whilst recognising these values of soy, its expansion has adverse impacts on important wetlands and forests in South America, and violates land rights. We therefore join many other NGO's in their efforts to green the soy industry.

High Five unchanged
A quiet week produced little noise with this week's High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll.
Only one ranked team from last week saw action on Friday night, leaving the rankings unchanged.
T.W. Andrews maintained its grip atop the survey, garnering all three first-place votes for 15 points. The Red Raiders (4-1) open PAC-6 2A play at Providence Grove on Friday night.
High Point Central earned all three second-place votes for 12 points, The Bison (4-2) welcome Piedmont Triad 4A Conference rival East Forsyth to Simeon Stadium on Friday night.
Ledford held third place in the ratings with nine points — one fewer than last week. The Panthers lost 32-28 at Central Davidson on Friday to slip to 4-2 overall and 1-1 in Mid-Piedmont 3A play. Ledford entertains Asheboro on Friday night.
East Davidson (5-1) kept fourth place with seven points. The Golden Eagles start Central Carolina 2A competition at Salisbury on Friday night.
Ledford's 13-10 win over East earlier this season helped the Panthers stay ahead of the Golden Eagles in the balloting.
Bishop McGuinness (4-2) rounded out the High Five with three points. The Villains travel to Mount Airy for their Northwest 1A/2A Conference opener on Friday night.
In other games involving area schools on Friday night, it's Southwest Guilford at Glenn; High Point Christian Academy at Westminster Catawba; Eastern Randolph at Trinity; Wheatmore at Randleman; Northwest Guilford at Ragsdale; Central Davidson at Southern Guilford; and West Davidson at Thomasville.
Voting in The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll in balloting by the three-member Enterprise sports staff. Five points for first place, four points for second and so on. First-place votes in parenthesis.
1. T.W. Andrews (3) 15
2. HP Central 12
3. Ledford 8
4. East Davidson 7
