The mission of Galapagos Conservancy is to advance and support the conservation of the unique biodiversity and ecosystems of Galapagos through directed research, conservation management, informed public policy, and building a sustainable society.
Galapagos Conservancy (GC) is the only US organization focused exclusively on protecting the unique ecosystems and biological integrity of the Galapagos archipelago.
GC was created through the merger of two institutions, the Darwin Scientific Foundation (DSF), founded in 1985, and Charles Darwin Foundation, Inc. (CDF, Inc.), founded in 1992.
Although DSF and CDF, Inc. were two separate organizations with different Boards of Directors, they shared an Executive Director. In 2001, the institutions merged and became CDF, Inc., a Delaware public charity. Beginning in 2001, CDF, Inc. took a more proactive role in targeting funding and other resources not only for biodiversity conservation but also for social science research. In 2006, CDF, Inc. changed its name to Galapagos Conservancy to better reflect its mandate. With this change, GC became even more self-directed in its program activities.
For more than 25 years, GC has worked with Galapagos-based, national, and international organizations and individuals to ensure the scientific research needed for policy, decision making, and conservation management, and to support key management institutions working in Galapagos to help ensure that they remain strong and effective.
GC has provided financial and technical support to Galapagos conservation, channeling tens of millions of dollars in private support, and building an endowment, which now stands at $4.2MM in net worth. The organization's single focus has allowed it to target its communications, funding, and technical resources to projects specific to Galapagos biodiversity conservation and to work with organizations and individuals whose vision and mission are aligned with these goals.

If we are working our asses off, and then our money is going to black folks who don't work...

With regard to AFDC the figures are:
White 38.8%
Black 39.8
Hispanic 15.7
Asian 2.4
other 3.3
To break down these numbers, we look at how many Whites are in the population as a WHOLE. If Blacks make up less 14% of the population and are almost 40% of all receipients, then they represent about 2.5 times their actual population. Since Whites are over 50% of the total US pop., they represent less than their overall piece of the pie, population-wise. Hispanics are at least 15% of the general population, so they take only about as much as what their population represents.
Why am I writing this? Because I am tired of the misrepresentations on this issue. I read so many on here claiming that more Whites are on welfare than Blacks (true, in terms of raw numbers), yet not accounting for the fact that there are over 4X as many Whites in this country than Blacks
! In statistics, you cannot go by mere numbers. Only if the playing field is exactly equal, which is rarely is! This thread was started, not to be racist, but to keep it real. After all, there are some legitimate reasons for Blacks to be on welfare more than Whites. But the worst thing anyone can do is be in denial.

Chilevision, a premiere production company in Latin America, has installed four HVS-300HS HD/SD portable video switchers from FOR-A Latin America, a division of FOR-A, for its broadcast operations. One of the units is used as a main switcher in a small technical production room for drama productions. The other units are used as emergency backup switchers in a large control room.
Broadeyes Producciones, an independent production company based in Santiago, has also selected the HVS-300HS for its HD truck (one of the first HD production trucks in the Chilean market). Club Hipico de Santiago is a horseracing venue that purchased a larger switcher for its production needs, the 2 M/E HVS-3800HS. The Chilean education market has also embraced the HVS-300HS, with units installed in Central University of Chile (Universidad Central de Chile) in Santiago and Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso).
In addition, VideoMedia, based in Santiago, Chile, has purchased two VPS-715 1.5 M/E Ginga video switchers as well. One switcher is used on Cámara de Diputados, a TV network that broadcasts sessions of the Chilean Parliament, commission meetings, press conferences, activities of the presidency, and cultural sessions. The second VPS-715 has been installed into a mobile unit designed by VideoMedia for Accionmedia Television, which provides mobile production services to a variety of companies such as Air Channel TV, Cable Channel TV, Producers of TV, and other companies.

For all the soliloquies this week by Stonington High School field hockey coach Jenna Tucchio, for all the firsts, for all the pomp and circumstance, Tucchio is hoping for one thing now that the Bears have reached the Class S state championship game.
"I've been just saying to them it's business as usual for the Bears," Tucchio said earlier in the week. "Our goal is to represent us to the best of our ability. As far as the girls go, there's been no chatter, no silliness. It's focused. � We've beaten some big opponents, a win over Branford, a win over Granby. I don't think I need to pump them up for them to maintain their confidence."
That said, the sixth-seeded Bears (15-4) will cap a pretty special week in program history by playing No. 3 Haddam-Killingworth (16-2-1) in the championship game at 2 p.m. today at Wethersfield High School.
It is Stonington's first championship appearance since 1991 and would be its first title since 1987 when Tucchio was a freshman under then-coach Janis Ingham.
"I've never been so excited," said Stonington senior captain Amanda Roy. "It's awesome to be a part of something this big. I know people in basketball who won the state championship, some of the Bacon (Academy) girls from last year, and I always talk to them about it."
This week, the Bears have generated their share of excitement.
They beat three-time defending champ Granby on Sunday 2-1, despite Granby amassing 24 penalty corners to none for Stonington. This served as somewhat of a Granby exorcism, with the Bears having been eliminated by Granby the last two times they reached the semifinals (2002, 2008).
Stonington then played as close to a perfect game as possible in Tuesday's 3-0 semifinal victory over No. 2 Immaculate of Danbury.
It was prior to the Granby game that Tucchio invoked all the memories of Stonington past, letting her players know about the team's old field at West Vine Street School, which was the Bears' home turf during their last championship run.
"I remember Andrea McKenna, Lauren (Ellis) McGugan, Billi-Jo Schachner. How gritty and how tough they were," said Tucchio, describing the 1987 championship team. "That final game they were diving all over the place, bodies flying.
"I told the girls to leave their mark on this field (before the team makes a new, artificial turf field its home next season). Think about the footprints left on those fields and all those people that came before them."
The Bears are led in scoring by junior Libby Morrison (20 goals, 12 assists) and sophomore Molly Crowley (19 goals, 3 assists).
Stonington now has one more piece of business: beat Haddam-Killingworth. The Cougars edged Stonington during the regular season, 1-0 in overtime. H-K, which has two championships in seven appearances, upset top-seeded Lauralton Hall 1-0 in the semifinals. H-K scored against Lauralton on its only shot.
"I want that game back. The girls want that game back," Tucchio said of the loss to H-K. "There's our opportunity."

Providing Corporate Update on Key Projects
QUEBEC CITY, Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - DiagnoCure, Inc. (TSX: CUR) (OTCQX: DGCRF) (the "Corporation") today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter 2013 and fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. The Corporation announced a net loss of $1,334,099 or $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2013, compared to $1,978,355 or $0.05 per share for the same period in 2012 and a net loss of $3,566,942 or $0.08 per share for fiscal year 2013 compared to $3,679,324 or $0.09 per share for the same period in 2012. At the end of the quarter, cash, short-term investments and long-term investments stood at $4,190,296 compared to $5,824,771 at the end of fiscal year 2012.
During fiscal year 2013, PCA3 royalties paid to DiagnoCure by Hologic in 2013 increased by 14% compared with 2012, representing worldwide sales of less than $US8.5 million. DiagnoCure believes that this modest increase in sales is not representative of the true commercial potential of this product, considering the consensus clinical utility that has emerged from several published studies (see "Update on PCA3" below).
Consequently, in 2013, DiagnoCure maintained diligent communications with Hologic in an effort to increase sales of PCA3. Under the leadership of Richard Bordeleau, Senior Advisor to the Board, and as part of its effort to transform the Corporation and ensure the commercial development of PCA3, in the last months of 2013, DiagnoCure approached Hologic with the intent to purchase its entire prostate oncology business, allowing the Corporation to regain the rights granted to Hologic on PCA3 and to expand its portfolio with T2:ERG, a promising biomarker identified by Dr. Arul Chinnaiyan from the University of Michigan who is currently offering the combination of PCA3 and T2:ERG in his CLIA-certified laboratory.
In 2013, DiagnoCure also obtained a grant from the National Research Council of Canada supporting research developing a new multi-marker prostate cancer test with an objective of broadening the Corporation's portfolio in this market segment. New patent applications were also filed, further strengthening DiagnoCure's intellectual property portfolio in this field. The first application is due to be published before the end of this month.
Regarding the PrevistageTM GCC colon cancer test, in the last quarter of 2013, DiagnoCure intensified discussions aimed at obtaining multiple partners to market GCC in both North America and Europe. DiagnoCure believes that the test will be made more widely available with a combination of public, academic and private partners.
Additionally, during fiscal year 2013, DiagnoCure continued to strengthen its overall intellectual property portfolio. Six more patents were obtained supporting the PCA3 biomarker. The Corporation was also granted a patent from the European Patent Office (EPO), providing exclusive rights through February 2030 regarding use of the GCC marker to gain prognostic information based on the tumor burden measured at the molecular level in lymph nodes.
Dr. Yves Fradet, Chairman of the Board, stated, "DiagnoCure's board of directors is satisfied with the thorough analysis of all opportunities and the actions undertaken in the recent months. We strongly believe in the potential of PCA3 and have applied all required resources to provoke significant change."
"During the last quarter, DiagnoCure has evaluated several scenarios aimed at increasing shareholder value, including transformational acquisitions. The Corporation also has and will continue to pursue all opportunities relating to enhancing PCA3 market penetration. Shareholders can be assured that every effort is being made to preserve cash while maintaining the Corporation's ability to seize and implement opportunities with our qualified team." added Dr. Vincent Zurawski, Lead Director of the Corporation.
Results for the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2013
Total revenues for fiscal year 2013 were $671,228 compared with $2,472,038 for 2012. This decrease of $1,800,810 is attributable to the termination, on January 11, 2013 of the development and license agreements signed in June 2011 with Signal Genetics. That development agreement provided $1,223,485 of revenues in fiscal year 2012. The remaining decrease is attributable to the payment of $626,401 made by Gen-Probe in relation to the FDA milestone reached for PROGENSA® PCA3 in fiscal year 2012. In 2013, royalty revenues from Hologic Gen-Probe increased by $83,613, or 14%, to $671,228, from $587,615 for 2012.

Operating expenses decreased by $1,913,192, to $4,238,170 for fiscal year 2013 from $6,151,362 for fiscal year 2012. This decrease is mainly attributable to the development agreement performed in fiscal year 2012 in support to the PrevistageTM GCC Colorectal Cancer Staging Test and to an allowance for doubtful accounts of $507,092 related to the Signal Genetics development agreement. Based on the above, for fiscal year 2013, DiagnoCure recorded a net loss of $3,566,942 or $0.08 per share, compared with $3,679,324 or $0.09 per share for fiscal year 2012.

Operating expenses decreased by $637,786, to $1,483,564 for the fourth quarter of 2013, from $2,121,350 for the same quarter of 2012.

Next annual meeting
At the next shareholders meeting to be held on April 17, 2014, the shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to reconfirm the Corporation's existing shareholder rights plan (the "Shareholder Rights Plan"). The Shareholder Rights Plan was originally ratified by the shareholders of the Corporation at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on March 11, 2011. The purpose of the Shareholder Rights Plan is to provide adequate time for shareholders to properly assess the merits of a take‐over bid for the Corporation without undue pressure and to provide the Board of Directors with the opportunity to explore and develop alternatives to a take‐over bid that are in the best interests of the Corporation. The Shareholder Rights Plan is set to expire upon the conclusion of the annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation in 2020, subject to reconfirmation by shareholders in 2014 and 2017. The full text of the Shareholder Rights Plan is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Update on PCA3
As the field of prostate cancer is moving toward more integrated risk assessment to decide whether a prostate biopsy is necessary, DiagnoCure is pleased to report that many studies continue to examine the role of the urinary PCA3 score in conjunction with other urinary markers to enhance the specificity of screening and reduce unnecessary biopsies. In 2013 alone, DiagnoCure has monitored more than 54 new clinical publications describing PCA3, which brings the total of papers on PCA3 to nearly 250. Among those published in 2013, at least two confirm the utility of PCA3 to predict the outcome of a biopsy in men who have had a prior negative biopsy, while about 16 demonstrate that PCA3 could also be useful in allowing discrimination between indolent and aggressive prostate cancer.
Interestingly, some studies in diverse populations from around the world have also demonstrated that urinary PCA3 scores could predict the presence of prostate cancer prior to an initial prostate biopsy. At least six different studies performed on more than 6,000 men support this outcome, some even providing evidence that a higher PCA3 score correlates with aggressive disease and a high Gleason score. It is also interesting to note that the relationship of PCA3 to disease volume and grade is currently the object of studies in men enrolled in prospective active surveillance programs. For example, the Canary PASS study of prostate cancer patients under active surveillance, provides preliminary evidence that PCA3 allows discrimination between men at risk of aggressive cancer and those who could be placed on less intensive surveillance protocols with fewer repeated prostate biopsies, reducing the risks and costs of invasive procedures.

Shirtless Justin Bieber rides on banana boat with his younger siblings before Hailey Baldwin shares intimate snap of herself kissing his neck before NYE night out
He's currently enjoyed a sun soaked getaway to Anguilla with his younger siblings and close pal Hailey Baldwin.
And Justin Bieber looked to be enjoying some quality time with both parties on New Year's Eve as he spent the day banana boating with his Jaxon, six, and Jazmyn, seven, before later hitting the town to party with his beautiful blonde gal pal on Thursday.
The 21-year-old star unleashed his inner child as he spent the earlier part of the day whizzing across the ocean on the fun banana vessel with his favourite youngsters.

Playtime! Justin Bieber continued to play the doting brother as he took to the waves of Anguilla on a banana boat with his brother Jaxon and sister Jazmyn on Thursday
The Sorry hit maker was sure to send the ladies swooning as his outing saw him not only show off his paternal side but also his rippling abs.
The singer showed off his washboard stomach, which was covered in tattoos, in all of its glory as he descended from the boat before helping off his younger siblings.
Jaxon looked a little uneasy as he leaned over and held on to the front of the boat for dear life in a bid to stay dry and avoid being tossed into the water.

Touchy feely: Hailey shared a suggestive snap of herself kissing the nape of Justin's neck before the duo headed out on the town
Group getaway: Justin is also joined on his island vacation by close pal Hailey Baldwin, though the model opted to stay on dry land as the Sorry crooner and his brood enjoyed a ride on the vessel
They're bananas! The 21-year-old star looked to be reveling in his quality time as he sat in between the two tots on the vessel whizzed across the ocean
Justin is also joined on his island getaway by close pal Hailey Baldwin, though the model opted against a ride on the banana boat, instead choosing to watch from the shore.
The BFF of model Kendall Jenner looked typically stunning for yet another day of basking in the balmy climes, dressed in a skimpy two-piece.
The 19-year-old looked to find the sea breeze a little chilly, however, as she wrapped up in a knitted cream cardigan when she later enjoyed a stroll along the beach with the What Do You Mean crooner before they hit the town to ring in the New Year in style.
The two looked to have gone all out to mark the final night of 2015 as Hailey later shared an Instagram snap of herself tenderly pressing her lips against the nape of Justin's neck.
The teen also rocks a remarkably sultry ensemble in the photo as she dons a tight leather dress with risque lace-up detailing at either side.
Keeping covered: Hailey looked to find the sea breeze a little chilly as she wrapped up with a knitted cardigan later in the day
Dapper: Justin looked to be ringing in the New Year in style as he shared a photo of himself dressed suavely ahead of their celebrations
Meanwhile, Justin recently gushed about how happy he is to be spending some quality time with his adorable younger siblings, insisting that he is 'blessed and honored' to have such a 'significant' role in their life.
'Honestly I never thought I could love somebody the way I love these two children. They are strong, kind, smart and so charismatic!' he enthused alongside a picture of the trio looking smart ahead of an evening meal.
'They are constantly making me want to be better, and I believe they will make me a better parent one day.
'I am so blessed and honored to play such a significant role in their life, and I'm looking forward to see what they become. And I know whatever that may be I will be proud!

Hate that old blouse? Fear not: A slew of new startups are running virtual marketplaces where folks can sell or buy secondhand treasures.
Companies like Poshmark, Twice and Threadflip are offering new twists on the yard sale and what they say is a more intimate experience than online mega-malls like eBay.
"It feels like it's become a new cultural shift, in terms of what women can do with their wardrobes," said Rosalie Yu, a Poshmark user who lives in Dublin, Calif. "It's changed how I shop."
The trend is closely tied to the rise of other "collaborative consumption" startups like RelayRides, Airnbnb and TaskRabbit, which let people easily rent their cars or spare rooms and find help with odd jobs.
"I like the idea of doing something environmentally sustainable that helps people save money," said Noah Ready-Campbell, chief executive of Twice. So when he and a co-worker at Google decided to do their own startup, they saw a way to apply the collaborative concept to their own memories of childhood.
"We grew up wearing a lot of secondhand clothes," explained Ready-Campbell, 24.
His service, launched in March, sends users prepaid shipping labels with which to send in their used designer clothes. (Sorry, gents - the site, like most others in the space, only handles women's items, though that could change in the future.)
After vetting the items to make sure of their condition, Twice staffers make an offer and send cash on the spot. They then photograph the items and curate them into an online catalog.
Ready-Campbell said Twice typically sells clothing for 25 to 35 percent more than it pays for them, a margin he calls similar to high-end thrift shops like Crossroads Trading and Buffalo Exchange. But with extras like two-day shipping and 24/7 customer support, "we basically can create a like-new shopping experience for the buyer," he said.
The business model isn't without risk. Twice, and a similar online marketplace called thredUP that specializes in reselling children's clothes, have to invest in warehousing operations, which can boost costs.
If that approach can be likened to that of Amazon.com, Poshmark's is more like eBay's - a centralized exchange that matches buyers to sellers and takes a cut of the action without ever actually handling the merchandise.
"With our iPhone app, users can take a photo of an item in their closet, like a handbag or dress, and convert that into a listing in less than a minute," said CEO Manish Chandra. If a prospective buyer stumbles across that item in one of Poshmark's forums, the app's mobile messaging feature allows for quick communication between her and the seller. And once the sale is closed on the platform, Poshmark emails the seller a shipping label, then keeps 20 percent of the price.
Chandra and others say this new generation of e-tailing is being driven by the ubiquity of mobile phones, the increasing sophistication of phone cameras and the rise of social networks like Facebook and Pinterest, which let users discover new items by trolling their extended connections.
"We've already got women who are going into their closets and putting together little boutiques, because they know other women love their tastes," said Chandra, who previously sold social shopping site Kaboodle to Hearst Corp. for a reported $30 million.
Yu said she's sold more than 60 fashion items just in the past month using Poshmark; traffic picks up on Friday nights, when women are getting ready to hit the town. She also uses the platform to bargain-hunt for herself, sometimes while waiting in line. "I'm getting 50 percent off luxury goods that are in great condition," she said.

active-activeAlso called dual active, it is a phrase used to describe a network of independent processing nodes where each node has access to a replicated database giving each node access and usage of a single application. In an active-active system all requests are load-balanced across all available processing capacity. Where a failure occurs on a node, another node in the network takes its place.
