Demands "early action" to interlink Ganga and Cauvery
He also asked for additional 800 MW of electricity for farm irrigation
26 of the State's 32 districts have received scanty and deficient rainfall
CHENNAI: Agriculture Minister Veerapandi S. Arumugam on Friday asked the Centre to allot Rs.325 crore under the National Calamities Relief Fund for "relief assistance to farmers who [had] not taken up cultivation due to drought."
He also sought additional 800 MW of electricity for farm irrigation supply and allocation of Rs.125 crore [over and above the allotted Rs.127.9 crore] under the National Agriculture Development Programme for 2009-2010.
Addressing at a meeting of State Agriculture Ministers in New Delhi, Mr. Arumugam said 26 of the State's 32 districts had received scanty and deficient rainfall during the south-west monsoon (total deficit 24 per cent), resulting in only 7.26 lakh ha being brought under cultivation in the kharif season, as against 19.28 lakh ha last year.
He asked for enhancement of relief assistance to Rs.7,500 per ha from Rs.4,000 per ha for paddy, banana and other perennial horticultural crop farmers affected by the natural calamity.
In the cultivated area, the government had taken "effective measures" and sufficient power supply had been ensured, he said. Steps were also being taken to provide diesel subsidy in drought-affected areas.
He asked the Centre to bear the entire subsidy amount of Rs.15 crore in view of the State's financial situation instead of only 50 per cent under the current policy.
Reiterating the State's stand that interlinking of national rivers was necessary to produce sufficient food grain, Mr. Arumugam asked the government to bear the expenditure of the projects being undertaken by the State, including the Rs.165-crore Cauvery-Gundaru project and the Rs.369-crore Tamirabarani-Karumeniyaru-Nambiyaru project. He demanded "early action" to interlink the Ganga and the Cauvery.
The Minister also asked for enhancement of subsidies for micro-irrigation, seeds of paddy, cotton, millets, pulses and oilseeds, for mechanisation using tractors and for food processing units.

By James Slater - Unfortunately, there is more bad news on the British fight scene. Only yesterday we learned that Darren Barker, all set for his British and European rumble with Matt Macklin at middleweight, had to pull out with a hip injury, and today we get the news that two more intriguing fights are now off - for now at least.
Firstly, Dan Rafael of ESPN.com has reported on his Twitter page that Donnell Holmes has pulled out of his scheduled fight with unbeaten Manchester big man Tyson Fury. Set for London on September 10th, Holmes was down as giving the heavily-hyped 22-year-old his stiffest test yet.. But, hot on the heels of original foe Jason Gavern pulling out of the bout to be televised by Showtime: the next generation, the 37-year-old Holmes has also withdrawn his services. No reason has yet been given, but it does seem as though Fury is not the creampuff his critics would have us believe. Two respectable U.S fighters pulling out in a row? Strange indeed.
As for promoter Frank Warrens Magnificent Seven bill, set for Birmingham on September 18th; another fight has unfortunately fallen through - further lessening the credentials of the once-big card. According to Boxrec.com, Ryan Rhodes, who was all set to defend his European light-middleweight title, has had to pull out of his fight against Lukas Konecky because of a back injury picked up in training.
This is bad news indeed for those fans who have already bought tickets and made hotel arrangements for September, and now the big show (which is still value for money, it must be said) will have to be make do with being headlined by the likes of Nathan Cleverly, Enzo Maccarinelli, James DeGale, Derek Chisora and Frankie Gavin. All five remaining fights are top notch, and it is to be hoped that the Warren show suffers no further hitches.
As for the Tyson Fury situation; it really does seem as though the 68 warrior, as maligned as hes been in some quarters, is having real trouble getting good fighters into the ring with him. Just who the 11-0(9) prospect will face now a week on Saturday is anyones guess! Hopefully, though, the English champion WILL find someone who is willing to give him a fight.

Historical Traveler Reviews Four Points Toronto Lakeshore
Stay Away
This was probably one my worse hotel experience to date, and I travel just about every week. Several of my colleagues and I made reservations for non-smoking rooms, when we arrived one of the rooms was smoking and another had problems with the lock, preventing it from being closed. However, maintenance did manage to fix it after several hours. Also, don't be surprised if you spot a little rodent running across your room, I was astonished to see a little mouse jetting across my room. I know the 4 Points is no Westin but for the price they charge customers shouldn't worry about mice...I just hope they have taken care of that by now. Staff was not very helpful in addressing issues.
My recommendation: if your a loyal Starwood member spend a little bit more money and stay at the Sheraton Toronto Center--much better hotel.
Extremely noisy
This hotel has nice rooms, but be very careful about the 'cityview' rooms. We accepted one of these rooms because the rate was lower, and the view was unimportant to us - we just wanted someplace to sleep. Unfortunately, the 'cityview' rooms are about 10 feet away from a 6 or 8 lane highway, with heavy traffic running 24 hours a day. We wore earplugs to sleep, and kept the window closed, but could hear the traffic clearly all night. When we brought this up with the hotel staff, they acted as though this ought to be completely acceptable. We had to pay extra for a room without traffic noise. They claim to tell guests about this when rooms are booked, but I was not warned. Not recommended.
The 'lakeview' rooms are really mostly overlooking another highway, but they at least are quieter. Besides that, it is quite expensive, and far away from downtown and public transit. OK for car drivers though.
Forget it, stay somewhere nice
We drove 515 miles to attend a wedding. The wedding was great but the hotel left a lot to be desired. We had requested adjoining rooms as our son and his family was accompanying us. On arrival we were informed that they did not have adjoining rooms. There was construction going on on three sides of the building. The hotel is located in an isolated location 20-30 miles from downtown Toronto. The "lakeview" consisted of looking across a six lane roadway through some trees. If it hadn't been Lake Ontario we probably wouldn't have seen the water. The breakfast was so-so and they charged for everything. $30 for two people is a little too much. The dinner meals were nothing to brag about either and they were definitely overpriced. Parking is very limitied because the hotel is placed between the six lane roadway and the Gardiner Xway in the rear. At night you may be blocked in because they allow guests to double park. If you plan on staying in Toronto for any period of time, find a good hotel.
Like anything... it suits some and not others.
I stayed in this hotel for eleven nights in July 2005.
It wasn't too far from the airport and was on the airport side of the city so there was no need to negotiate Toronto traffic at rush hour either from the airport or returning from the west of Lake Ontario (eg from Niagara Falls) and the car parking was free. This was good because there seemed to be a lot of traffic at rush hour - hardly surprising around a city of, what, 2.5M people.
Do, however, watch for the road signage for Lake Shore and a couple of blocks of flats (see photo). They are a good landmark and were well used by me to try to preclude a needless drive along the Gardener Expressway.
The Gardener Expressway runs right along the back of the hotel - I estimate it is about ten feet away from the window... there is probably about enough room to drive a truck along without breaking its mirrors. The traffic never seems to ease off too much: even after about 9pm there is a steady stream of cars and lorries. Don't Torontonians go home so they can get up for work the next day? Despite this, the noise really doesn't intrude that much if the window is shut and the rooms are air conditioned so I was able to shut my window at night despite record daytime temperatures of 95F.
The hotel has an expressway behind it, Lakeshore Boulevard in front of it, a road on a third side and what looks like a building site to be on the fourth side. This means that, if you have nothing you want to do on a particular day and it is hot and sunny, there is nowhere to lie in the sun. You could try the lakeshore but you'd be competing with dozens of geese (potential yuch!) for space unless you walk along a bit.
The check in procedure was reasonably quick but I assume it was just the person who checked me in who thought I automatically knew where my room was. As it happened, directions didn't seem to be a particular forte on this holiday... the road signage seemed just as ropey in places!
The room was fine. It was clean and was not short of laundry. The bathroom was small but, since I wasn't planning to move the chair and tv in there, it wasn't a problem.
I noticed some noise from adjoining rooms at times but it wasn't very often and it wasn't such that you could join in the conversations.
I didn't eat in the restaurant but it looked ok and seemed to have a big enough choice on the menu. I certainly wouldn't have referred to it as a cafe as in one of the other reviews.
The fitness room is quite small. It only had an exercise bike, a stepper, a treadmill (that only worked on quickstart mode) and a multi-gym machine. There is a spa through the door beyond this but I didn't investigate it. I went to the gym on about five of the days but only because I chose not to go outside for a run along the lakefront because of the heat/humidity.
The Four Points is outwith the city but is probably well located for getting into the city by car. I walked in to Toronto a couple of the days and it took about ninety minutes to walk as far as CN Tower. There is a walkway along the lakeshore into Toronto: it is boardwalk for about a mile and then it becomes the Martin Goodman trail (when it does, look out for the cyclists and roller-bladers that make much use of it).
There is not much in the way of shops around the hotel. There is a general store a couple of minutes walk away and there is a retail area about fifteen or twenty minutes walk or five minutes drive away. This has a Sobey's, a Subway and other shops where you can, for example, get things to eat and drink in your hotel room. There is also a bank with a cash machine.
There may not be much in the way of shops around the hotel but there is a street car behind it (just beyond the Gardener Expressway) which seems to offer a frequent service but I didn't bother with it since the weather was warm. The general store is just past the street car stop.
One thing that was a disappointment in Toronto was a decided lack of thanks when buying something. I think I heard a mention of thanks less than a dozen times: even thanking someone for giving me change didn't seem to remind them of the fact I had plenty of other places to take my custom. I suppose, though, with this lack of thanks, it wouldn't have mattered because it wouldn't have been any different anywhere else. I expect this will annoy Canadians but, in my experience, the Americans certainly have no shortcomings with that aspect of tourism.
Things to do: CN Tower (what a view but pick a clear day with no haze); Niagara Falls (whilst I wouldn't like to canoe over them, they were smaller than I expected); African Lion Safari (more than just lions) which is along a very long road with wee signs every so often so don't think you've passed it; sail in Kajama (pronounced Kayama) which is a sailing ship complete with sails funnily enough; shops (couldn't be bothered so you will have to just accept there is potential for walking your feet off); Hippo Bus - an amphibious bus which draws a second glance the first time you see it; lots more - see the leaflets at the lifts in this hotel or visit the tourist office near the Rogers Center (why can't the US and Canada spell properly?). When I was there, the Molson Indy race was on (at Ontario Place ~45mins walk) so I walked along to watch it for a while (half an hour) and returned about three hours later with some sunburn. It was a good spectacle - the race!
When I was there, someone was doing a good job of arranging stones on the wall at the edge of the boardwalk about a couple of hundred yards from the hotel. There was no evidence of cement at the time and the picture shows none. I don't know how it was done.
All in all, the hotel was ok and it was good for being in a fairly peaceful location with walking/ running/ cycling opportunities but I don't think I would return because of the lack of anywhere to just lie out when you don't have anything else you want to do and the lack of anything much nearby. I think it helps to have a car to get around but don't ask me how to get onto the Gardener Expressway to go to the QEW to Niagara!
Never Again!
Late April 2005 we pulled up to this hotel crammed between a highway and an expressway. The building next door was in the process of being demolished and I looked at my husband and said, "Please tell me this isn't where we're staying." Unfortunately for us, it was.
We were exhausted and as we checked in, I asked the front desk clerk if the traffic noise was audible in the rooms. He offered to avoid that issue by giving us a room on the expressway side of the hotel. We tried to take a nap and all we heard were the cars zooming by...not to mention the 18 wheelers! The walls were like rice paper. You could even hear the radio playing in the room next door which never stopped because nobody was occupying it.
With two people in our room we were short one bath towel and one washcloth. I called the front desk to get more sent to our room. When they arrived, they gave us one more hand towel (which we didn't need) and told us they were short on towels.
The next morning we went to breakfast at the cafe in the hotel. My breakfast was so bad I couldn't eat it. I am not a picky eater either. They did take it back and allowed me to order something else which was fine. And the chef did care enough to come out and get feedback on what was wrong with the first order.
The staff was friendly but we did not have any restfull nights of the 3 nights we stayed there. Local friends we were visiting made a face when we told them what hotel we were at. Due to the location (literally feet from the highway on the back side and a parklot distance away from an expressway at the front) and thin walls with single paned windows, there is No Way we would ever stay here again.
The Sheraton hotel at the Toronto airport, however, was excellent.
Don't stay here when in Toronto
I have worked in the hotel industry for over fourteen years and have found this hotel to be unsatisfactory. I will not stay here again.
We go to Toronto every year to visit with family. This hotel needs a complete overhaul. The desk clerk that checked us in at 11:00pm did not bother to look up even as we stood there in front of him waiting to check-in. He interrupted the check-in process several times by dealing with other issues by picking up several calls.
We had asked for a crib for the room at the time of our reservation. We asked the desk clerk if a crib was available and he told us that he didn't know. He did not bother to call housekeeping to check for us. He wanted us to look in the room first and then call him if it wasn't there.
We go to the room and there was no crib. The room itself was a decent size. Two queen beds, desk w/ chair and a small loveseat and coffee table. The carpet was matted and sticky. We kept our shoes on everywhere we walked in this room. Ewww.
The bathroom needed major updating. Small counter spaces for toiletries. The bathroom sink stopper did not work and the water was not draining. We called the desk clerk and he informed us to tell the guy delivering the crib about the sink problem since he was the overnight maintainence man as well as the crib deliverer.
The guy who delivered the crib looks over the sink and left to get some tools. He was gone for 45 minutes at which point, my husband had fixed the stopper by fiddling with the mechanism. We promptly told the gentleman when he returned at 1:00am that it was fixed.
The hotel faces a major thoroughfare. If it wasn't for its membership with Starwood Hotels, I would never have booked here.
Do not stay here. You will be disappointed.
Bad Bad Experience here!!!
i booked this hotel on cheaptickets and on arriving the hotel receptionist didnt have any knowledge of their hotel accepting online bookings even though they had my reservation and it was paid for....needless to say this really upset our first few hours there.....we were "allowed" a room but told that the matter had to be cleared up...even tho i have PAID ALREADY!!!.....eventually i asked again at the front desk and i was told it had been "sorted out"...no apology!!....i was so annoyed about this needless upset by badly informed staff!!...after travelling for hours to reach your holiday destination this is the LAST thing you want to hear!!...there is no beach across the road....we walked along the lakeshore that night...it was nice but just nice..not teriffic
we had no car and had to get taxis everywhere!!no way could u walk into Toronto it was miles away by highway too!!
DONT STAY IN THIS HOTEL if you want to see toronto properly!!the highlight of my stay was a trip to Niagra falls orgainised by the hotel, the only good thing about this hotel!
Terrible road noise!
We'd planned to stay at this hotel on the outskirts of Toronto for a long weekend. We reserved a standard room - not a "lakeview" room. I noticed that they mentioned "double-paned glass" in the description. This is because our room basically was hanging over the expressway. I'm a heavy sleeper, and have lived downtown in major cities. I travel a bit for work, and I've never ever stayed at such a noisy hotel. Neither of us could not sleep at all. The trucks & train noise was completely unacceptable.
The staff was very courteous, and they allowed us to check out the next morning. However, we were not given a discount for our awful night. We were willing to try a "lakefront" room, but they were going to charge us an extra $30 a night. We left. It appeared that this was a common issue at the hotel - travelers stay for a night and then leave.
Perhaps the "lakefront view" rooms were better. For the price, I'd highly recommend finding a hotel closer to town that you can actually sleep in. We spent less money staying at an absolutely lovely inn (close to downtown) with a completely different atmosphere.
Some good, some bad
This hotel gets a very mixed review from me! The staff were the friendliest we met during our trip, the location was poor, the restaurant was average, and the room was great but looked out onto a freeway! Don't be fooled into thinking this is anywhere near Toronto centre - it's not, and the public transport options are severely limited - you need to take a taxi. The lakeshore is OK, but don't think there's a beach! The lakeshore 'park' is good though. The room was a very good size and very comfortable, but was on the same level as the freeway running along the back of the hotel! Having said that noise wasn't a problem, dressing with the curtains open was a thrill !!
Not recommended
First let me say that this hotel is very nice. But the location is not the best. We dont get to Toronto very often so when we go we want to be in the mist of all the action. Close to the subway, trains ect. When I called for my reservation I was assured this hotel was near everything, which it is if you want to drive every where. I ended up driving quite a distance just to shop at the Eaton Center and it was not fun! The rooms were very nice and I booked one with a balcony, dont waste your money, it is so expensive and the rooms are supposed to have a lake view, but the traffic and trees in front of the lake blocks any view you may have. The street in front of the hotel just ruins the view completly. I think their rates are very high. I spent 179.00 cad. For a room with 2 double beds, lakeview and a balcony. Since you couldnt see the lake and the traffic kept me up most of the night I would recommend going on Expedia and getting a deluxe room with no balcony for 95.00 u.s.

"you need to have tried it out on that particular boat before you really need to use it."
Absolutely, Geoff!
With any MOB plan, you need to try it, and make sure the whole crew is familiar with it. And if anyone disagrees with it, work that through and see if they've found a flaw.
If you have a decksweeper the boom may not be high enough. And if you have a conventional boom, it still may not be high enough unless you drop the lifelines, or take the main halyard back to lift the aft end of the boom. Either way, we figured the multiple purchase of the 6:1 block would be a great advantage and the boom would be enough to get a MOB well out of the water, which is a good start.
Then again, we also have Standing Orders:

Is it really even possible to do a "Who Wears It Better?" for these ponytails? Honestly, I don't think either of these could get much worse so I can't even begin to try and force you guys to decide which is "better". However, I can so I will. So you will sit there and stare at this until you decide which is better. If you don't….well then I really can't do anything about it.
Flag shirts & overalls…that's what America does!

Big Brother winner Josie Gibson shows us around her new flat
Josie Gibson's stylish flat
Famous after winning the 2010 series of Big Brother, Josie Gibson gives us a tour of her stunning home.
'I used to live in a flat that was supposed to be lovely because it had a view of the Thames, but that's all it had going for it,' she tells us.
'It was too poky and dull.
Josie loves to jet all over the world so has a huge map of the globe in her living room to remind her of her trips.
'Everywhere I've lived I've always had a big map on the wall. I love to look at maps. I used to put a pin in all the places I'd been to and I've travelled quite a lot,' she explains.
'Funnily enough, I used to want to go to Australia but I've gone right off it now...'
The blonde hooked up with Aussie John James Parton during her time on Big Brother. Josie Gibson and John James split in 2011.
Josie – who is now loved-up with Luke Sanwo - has plenty of stunning items inside her pad but there's a very special keepsake hanging in the kitchen.
'I was given my Bristol flag at a car boot sale just after I got out of the Big Brother house,' she tells us.
'I was walking round and this man said: "You've done us proud, Josie. I want you to have this!"
'Bristol still means a lot to me, so I keep the flag on display to remind me of my roots. After all, Lukey and me have put in an offer on a house there...'
Unlike her shared bedroom on Big Brother, Josie Gibson has a spacious boudoir all to herself.
'Recently I splashed out on one of those memory foam mattresses. It's the best thing I've ever bought,' she says.
'I get a really bad back sometimes. When I was about 11 I fell off a horse going over a jump and it was so painful I fainted. Maybe that's what left me with back trouble.'

Summer space highlights; NASA scores some victories.
Astronomers have announced that a tenth planet in our Solar System has been discovered. The object, known for now as '2003 UB313' is about one-and-a-half times the size of Pluto and is three times as far from the Sun than Pluto. The object was first photographed by the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope on October 31, 2003 at the Palomar Observatory. Mike Brown, a professor of planetary astronomy at Caltech, made the announcement during a NASA teleconference on the evening of July 29th. The announcement was hastened due to the fact that someone had hacked into Brown's website and stole the data relating to the new discovery.
While the data analysis continues, the flames of an old debate have been stoked by this discovery. Is '2003 UB313' really a planet after all? Even if it is larger than Pluto, the object's orbit is highly eccentric--its orbit is inclined at 45 degrees from the plane of the Solar System. Looking at the Solar System from edge on, its orbit would appear to rise and dip below the orbit of our current set of nine planets. Many astronomers view the new object, and several other distant Solar System objects recently discovered, as merely members of the Kuiper Belt, which is a large cloud of small frozen objects located at the far reaches of the Solar System. Some astronomers believe that Pluto isn't a planet at all, but a Kuiper Belt object captured by Neptune's gravitational pull.
Currently there is no definition of what a planet is. The debate will rage on. In the meantime, Brown and his team have submitted a proposal to the International Astronomical Union to give '2003 UB313' a real name, "Xena".
Shuttle Returns to Flight--A Few Glitches
On Tuesday, July 29th, the Space Shuttle Discovery returned to space after the Shuttle program had been grounded for almost three years. After multiple delays, the 7-person crew blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 10:39 am., right on time. STS-114 commander Eileen Collins spoke to reporters before the flight, saying, "We're very prepared." In addition to Commander Collins, the crew consists of pilot James Kelly, flight engineer Stephen Robinson, and mission specialists Andrew Thomas, Wendy Lawrence, Charles Camarda, and also Soichi Noguchi from the Japanese Aerospace and Exploration Agency. On Friday July 29th the Shuttle docked with the International Space Station and delivered an Italian-made pod filled with research equipment, food, and clothing.
Despite the exhilaration of the Shuttle's return to flight, familiar dark shadows have been tagging NASA for years. Upon launch, multiple pieces of foam broke off from the orbiter's external tank, including one piece more than two feet in size. Back in February 2003, Shuttle Discovery broke up upon reentry after a chunk of foam blasted a hole in its heat shield during launch.
Images of the shuttle taken during launch cannot confirm whether any foam struck the orbiter. Following this glitch the current Space Shuttle fleet has been grounded from any future launches until the problem of foam separation is fixed. Shuttle Atlantis, scheduled to fly in September, will not return to space until a solution is found. There are only three shuttles left including Discovery and Atlantis. Endeavor, the third and final shuttle, is currently undergoing the same safety modifications performed on Discovery and Atlantis. The Discovery crew performed spacewalks to inspect the orbiter's heat shield to verify any damage. No damage was apparent, and the shuttle landed safely back to Earth.
The current state of the Shuttle program and its continuing glitches furthers the speculation that a new space vehicle may be needed before future flights are attempted..
Deep Impact a Success
After Deep Impact's close encounter with Comet Tempel 1 on July 4th, scientists are excitedly sifting through preliminary data gathered during the fireworks. Deep Impact's 820-pound impactor, traveling at 23,000 mph, struck the comet at a 25-degree angle, yet still managed to create quite an explosion and a crater estimated to be 330 feet wide, a mere pockmark on the 7-mile wide comet. Early images taken of the comet show a crater-strewn surface, much like the surface of the moon. The comet itself appears to be too soft to be made of ice--once thought to be the primary ingredient of comets. A steamy mix of water, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide was also detected--clues that could shed light on the early composition of our Solar System. Many astronomers believe that comets provided the "seeds" for life on Earth over 4 billion years ago.
The data collected from the Deep Impact mission will need to be analyzed more thoroughly, and hopefully will shed some light on the origins of life on our world.
The Truth About Mars
At a recent doctor's appointment, my doctor struck up a conversation with me about the latest astronomy happenings. "And did you hear about Mars?" he asked me, "sometime in August Mars will appear as big as the full moon! And it will be the closest to Earth in any of our lifetimes!" This instantly struck me as dubious. Wasn't Mars the closest to Earth in August 2003--an event that would not happen again for thousands of years? Just two years later I'm hearing the "it-won't-happen-again-in-your-lifetime" speech.
The truth is, the latest Mars buzz is a hoax. From the perspective of our puny lifetimes, Mars passed closest to Earth in August of 2003. It will not appear as large as the Full Moon, both to the naked eye and through a telescope. I'm sorry to say, news about the brilliant apparition of Mars has come to the public eye two years too late. Mars and the Earth catch up to each other every couple of years or so, and the current meeting will be in October and November, not August. And Mars will appear to be about 20 arcseconds in diameter--much less than the full Moon which measures 30 arcminutes across. Mars still, and always will, appear as a very bright star in the sky.
I hope this has cleared up some confusion! I'm sorry stories like this hit the e-mail lists and then gain momentum to become an incomprehensible urban legend, giving the public a false view of astronomy and at the same time desensitizing their curiosity about the cosmos.
Stay tuned for more science updates from your friendly neighborhood space enthusiast. In the meantime, keep looking up!

Re: Difference between alcohol & kerosene stove?
The biggest problem you would have with running diesel through a kerosene stove is the smell and the fumes. With the burners set for kero they would go apeshite if you loaded them up with diesel and the soot would probably drive you from the boat.
That is not to say that a properly configured diesel stove is smelly or dirty.
I'd be interested to know where you intend sailing ? Reason for asking is twofold. First, if you intend heading for warmer climes then for mine a diesel or kero stove would be damned uncomfortable to live with , even LPG heats a cabin up in summer and secondly why do you think LPG is difficult to obtain outside of the USA ? In our part of the world LPG is probably the most common fuel for on board use and in SE Asia and the Oceanian Islands it is replacing or indeed has replaced most other portable fuel sources and in ten years time it will be even more firmly entrenched than now.

We were pleased to honor and celebrate some of our biggest and best supporters on April 23 during our awesome annual Cirque de la Mer fund-raiser.
For their commitment to environmental education, the families of Rob and Katharine "Kit" Rohn of Darien and Michael and Nancy Herde (formerly of New Canaan), as well as the Norwalk law firm of Shipman & Goodwin, LLP, are recipients of The Maritime Aquarium's 16th annual Red Apple Awards.
The awards honor companies, organizations and individuals who share The Maritime Aquarium's concern for the natural world and environmental education.
The Rohn Family
Rob Rohn, a founding principal with Sustainable Growth Advisers, is current chairman of The Maritime Aquarium's Board of Trustees. He's been a board member since 2006. Kit Rohn has worked for Inform, an environmental research organization, and the National Audubon Society, which was chaired nationally for 15 years by her late father, Donal O'Brian. She also is a founding member of Conservation International.
Kit and Rob Rohn chaired the Aquarium's 2013 "Cirque de la Mer." Their children have been active at The Maritime Aquarium as well. Daughter Katie served an Aquarium internship, and son Nick has been a volunteer.
"As Board chairman, Rob guides the Aquarium with intellect, patience and commitment," Davis said. "He and Kit always bring a warm graceful presence and passion to their involvement. They inspire us, and we are grateful for all they have done for The Maritime Aquarium."
The Herde Family
The Herdes, formerly of New Canaan, now live in Massachusetts. Michael Herde, head of compliance for Fidelity Investments, is a former member of The Maritime Aquarium's Board of Trustees. Nancy Jumper Herde was a member of the Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk (one of the original founding organizations of The Maritime Aquarium).
In 2010, the Herdes sponsored an element of The Maritime Aquarium's new exhibit, "Go Fish! Long Island Sound & Beyond." The exhibit's Jumper Herde Café is a mock café that demonstrates how we – as seafood consumers – can make good choices in markets and restaurants to help support healthy fish populations and smart fishing methods.
One of Michael and Nancy's four children, Hannah, while in high school, volunteered and interned at the Aquarium and served as co-chair of The Maritime Youth Advisors.
"We miss all of the Herdes, for their devotion to the Fairfield County community, for their influence on the Aquarium's story and for simply being a collection of tremendous individuals all together in one admirable family," Davis said.
Shipman & Goodwin, LLP
Senior Partner Mike Widland, his partner, Robin Frederick, and others at Shipman & Goodwin have donated countless pro bono hours to The Maritime Aquarium over the years. Widland is a longtime member of the Aquarium's Board of Trustees, and has served as its chairman, vice chairman and – currently – its secretary.
Davis said Widland has been involved in virtually every major governance decision made during much of The Maritime Aquarium's history.
"Mike has guided the Aquarium with wisdom over the years," Davis said. "His connections, insights and expertise have been vital to us here in Norwalk and Hartford."
