Comprehensive Description
The Snow Petrel (Pagodroma nivea) is a fairly small petrel (30 to 40 cm in length with a wingspan of 75 to 95 cm and a mass of 240 to 460 g) with entirely white plumage. It has conspicuous dark eyes, a very small black bill, and bluish gray feet. In poor light the plumage appears gray, especially on the underparts. Females average slightly smaller than males and juveniles have more extensive grayish barring on the upperparts. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
Snow Petrels are year-round residents of Antarctica and are very closely associated with pack ice or icebergs and ice floes. Snow Petrel flight is very erratic, almost batlike, with short, rapid wingbeats and infrequent gliding. Snow Petrels tend to fly around 10 meters above the water and may fly very high over land. They are frequently seen hovering low over the water, but rarely observed swimming, preferring to rest on icebergs or ice floes.They eat mainly fish, along with cephalopods, other mollusks, and euphausiids (krill). They apparently also feed on seal placentas and carcasses of seals, whales, seabirds, and penguins, as well as excreta. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
Range Description
Snow Petrels are endemic to Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean, with a circumpolar breeding distribution (see Croxall et al. 1995 for detailed maps of all reported breeding localities).
Physical Description
The Snow Petrel is a fairly small petrel (30 to 40 cm in length with a wingspan of 75 to 95 cm and a mass of 240 to 460 g) with entirely white plumage. It has conspicuous dark eyes, a very small black bill, and bluish gray feet. In poor light the plumage appears gray, especially on the underparts. Females average slightly smaller than males and juveniles have more extensive grayish barring on the upperparts. Beneath the white plumage, the down is dark gray. The chick is lavender gray on the upperparts, head, and foreneck; ivory or grayish white on the abdomen; and pure white on the forehead. The second down is slightly lighter than the first. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
Molt occurs between November and April, during the breeding cycle. Body molt begins during incubation. Flight feathers molt as young near fledging. Unsuccessful and pre-breeders molt earliest. (Watson 1975)

Snow Petrels are almost entirely restricted to the colder antarctic waters with pack ice or icebergs and ice floes (Watson 1975).
The Snow Petrel is closely associated with pack ice, occurring mainly in areas with 10 to 50% ice cover. Snow Petrels do not land on the water, preferring to rest on icebergs or ice floes. (Carboneras 1992)
Snow Petrels appear to be relatively sedentary in some locations, with most birds staying in the vicinity of the colony throughout the year, dispersing only to adjacent waters. Snow Petrels seldom stray far from pack ice except at their northernmost breeding grounds (Bouvetoya, South Georgia). (Carboneras 1992)
Snow Petrels eat mainly fish, along with cephalopods, other mollusks, and euphausiids (krill). They apparently also feed on seal placentas and carcasses of seals, whales, seabirds, and penguins, as well as excreta. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
Skuas (Catharacta spp.) are important predators of Snow Petrels. Ectoparasites include the feather mite Zachvatkinia hydrobatidii; the feather lice Ancistrona sp., Austromenopon (?) daptionis, Pseudonirmus charcoti, and Saemundssonia antarctica; and the flea Glaciopsyllus antarcticus. Glaciopsyllus antarcticus is endemic to the Antarctic continent, where it is known to parasitize a variety of seabird species. (Watson 1975; Pilgrim and Palma 1994; Steele et al. 1997).
General Ecology
Berman et al. (2009) studied senescence (decline in annual rate of survivorship or fecundity as a function of increasing age) in the Snow Petrel. Snow Petrels have low fecundity, high annual adult survivorship, and long lifespans. The authors' data and analysis indicated an annual increase in breeding success (probability of a chick fledging from a laid egg) for about the first 10 years of life (at which point breeding success rate was 50%). High breeding success was then maintained (and possibly even increased) until the oldest ages. Breeding probability (probability of a bird of a particular age breeding) increased from 0 at 5 years of age to 45% at 6 years, then increased at an annual rate of 0.02, but over an extended period (between 6 and 34 years of age); by the end of this period, approximately 80 per cent of birds were breeding. After this, breeding probability dropped abruptly. Thus, Snow Petrels did not show any sign of senescence in breeding success, and breeding probability did not decrease before 34 years of age (maximum longevity is more than 46 years).
Ageing is associated with a decline in basal metabolic rate (BMR) in many species, including humans. Moe et al. (2007) undertook a cross-sectional study to measure BMR of Snow Petrels aged between 8 and 39 years. They found that the BMR of the Snow Petrel does not decrease with increasing age. BMR seems to be sustained at a fixed level throughout the investigated age range, a finding the authors' discuss in the context of evolutionary theories of ageing.
Life History and Behavior
Breeding Category
Snow Petrel flight is very erratic, almost batlike, with short, rapid wingbeats and infrequent gliding. Snow Petrels tend to fly around 10 meters above the water and may fly very high over land. They are frequently seen hovering low over the water, but rarely observed swimming. Flocks are typically seen sitting on ridges of icebergs. (Watson 1975)
Snow Petrels feed on the wing by dipping and, occasionally, by diving and surface-seizing. They sometimes scavenge on land. (Carboneras 1992)
Life Expectancy
Adult annual mortality is 4 to 7%, yielding a mean adult life expectancy of 14 to 20 years (Carboneras 1992).
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Snow Petrels breed colonially, nesting in small to large cliff colonies, usually near the sea but also several hundred km inland (as much as 440 km, Goldsworthy and Thomson 2000), at altitudes up to 2400 meters. Breeding starts in November in most areas. The nest is a simple pebble-lined scrape, usually in a deep rock crevice with overhanging protection. Nests often contain dehydrated eggs and mummified corpses of chicks from previous years. Just a single, white egg is laid. The incubation period is 41 to 49 days and young are brooded an additional 8 days. Fledging occurs at an age of around 41 to 54 days. The chick remains in the nest for about 7 weeks. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
Severe weather can be an important source of mortality, especially heavy snow that blocks nest entrances and causes adults to abandon eggs and allows chicks to starve. Egg mortality is around 50% and chick mortality is 10 to 15%, but mean annual adult survival is 93 to 96%. (Watson 1975; Carboneras 1992)
The extent of sea-ice during fall and winter influences percentage of birds breeding during the following summer (many Snow Petrels do not breed each year), breeding success of breeders, and fledgling body condition. Extensive sea-ice cover during the winter months appears to be associated with high population densities of krill (an important food for Snow Petrels) during summer, when petrels are feeding their young. Decisions to breed are affected by food availability in winter, whereas breeding success and fledgling quality are affected by food availability in summer, which in turn is affected by sea-ice extent in winter because of a time lag. Snow Petrels feed largely on krill (Euphausia superba and E. crystallorophias) and on fish (Antarctic Silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticum) both during and outside the breeding season, although there are indications that cephalopods (e.g., the squids Psychroteuthis glacialis and Gonatus antarcticus) may play a more important role in some localities. Spring air temperature also influences breeding success. Increased air temperature during spring increases breeding success, presumably because low air temperature in spring results in some nest sites (crevices) being made inaccessible by snow and ice, a common cause of Snow Petrel breeding failure. (Barbraud and Weimerskirch 2001 and references therein; Jenouvrier et al. 2005)
Evolution and Systematics
Systematics and Taxonomy
Two Snow Petrel subspecies, differing markedly in size, are often recognized. These are reported to breed sympatrically yet remain distinct in some locations, but other reports indicate extensive hybridization. Some researchers have proposed treating the two forms as distinct species, but others have concluded that although they have evolved in partial isolation, they are not sufficiently distinct to warrant treatment as separate species. (Carboneras 1992)
Snow Petrels show a tendency to mate assortatively by size morph, but the occurrence of mixed pairs producing viable young reveals that reproductive isolation between the two size morphs is incomplete. The degree of isolation depends on breeding locality. A given area can harbor (1) only small birds, (2) only large birds, (3) colonies of small birds close to colonies of large ones, or (4) mixed pairs, the percentage of which varies from one locality to another. Data from a 34-year demographic study in Terre Adelie, Antarctica, showed that mate and nest fidelity were very high and that pairs involving mates of the same size morph and mixed pairs had similar fecundity. Despite its heterogeneity, the breeding habitat of snow petrels was relatively predictable. The primary requirement for breeding in Snow Petrels is a nest that is not filled with ice. Ice repeatedly made some nests unsuitable for breeding. When Antarctic ice and snow are prevalent in bad years for Snow Petrel breeding, ice may obstruct more than 40% of nests, causing many nesting failures. Obtaining a nest that is not frozen is therefore the primary requirement for breeding. Strong competition for nests may explain high fidelity rates and, combined with the absence of reproductive costs in mixed pairs, may have promoted decreased choosiness during mate choice, preventing total reproductive isolation between the two morphs.

The Snow Petrel is not globally threatened. Despite habitat restriction, it is apparently abundant, with a total population of perhaps several million individuals. Overall numbers appear to be stable and possibly slightly increasing. There are an estimated 2,000,000 birds at colonies around the Ross Sea. (Carboneras 1992) However, given the strong dependence of Snow Petrels on sea-ice, Jenouvrier et al. (2005) predict that Snow Petrel populations will be negatively affected by reduced sea-ice in the context of regional warming, although the impact of changes in sea-ice extent may depends on its seasonality.

Snow petrel
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009)
The snow petrel is the only member of the genus Pagodroma. It is one of only three birds that breed exclusively in Antarctica and has been seen at the South Pole. It has the most southerly breeding distribution of any bird.[citation needed]
The snow petrel is the only member of the genus Pagodroma, and a member of the sub-family fulmarine petrels. They in turn are all members of the Procellariidae family, and the Procellariiformes order.[3] They all share certain identifying features. First, they have nasal passages that attach to the upper bill called naricorns. The bills of Procellariiformes are also unique in that they are split into between seven and nine horny plates. They produce a stomach oil made up of wax esters and triglycerides that is stored in the proventriculus. This can be sprayed out of their mouths as a defense against predators and as an energy rich food source for chicks and for the adults during their long flights.[4] Finally, they also have a salt gland that is situated above the nasal passage and helps desalinate their bodies, due to the high amount of ocean water that they imbibe. It excretes a high saline solution from their nose.[5]
There are two subspecies,
- Pagodroma nivea confusa breeds on the South Sandwich Islands and Géologie Archipelago.[6]
- Pagodroma nivea nivea breeds on the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia Islands, and other islands of the Scotia Archipelago.[6]
They differ in size, and the greater form has a stouter, larger beak.[citation needed]

The issue of taxonomy and nomenclature for this species is complex, and represents an example of many of the unusual problems which arise out of the varied use of the terminology.
The snow petrel was first named Procellaria nivea by Georg Forster, during Captain James Cook's third voyage in 1777. As Forster's mention of the petrel was only an observation, the authority of the name fell to Gmelin, in his Systema Naturae. Incidentally, a skin was procured by Cook, who noted this in his own account (1777). It was J. R. Forster who painted a picture of it, and made measurements as well, but only the latter were published, posthumously, by M. H. K. Lichtenstein in 1844. While Gmelin was recognized as the authority for P. nivea until the early twentieth century, the evidence has allowed for Forster to be construed as such, as he had created the name. In addition, Latham (1785) had described the type, which was in the Leverian Museum, but did not invoke Forster's scientific name for it.
Charles Lucien Bonaparte, in his Conspectus Generum Avium, volume II (1857), designated two subspecific binomial terms with no further descriptions to them: Pagodroma major and Pagodroma minor. Contrary to Mathews in Novitates Zoologicae (1934), the two names do not represent alternative, new names for P. nivea, but are subspecies, as well as nomen nudum, on account of their being listed similar to how other subspecies Bonaparte listed in the Conspectus. It was also Bonaparte who created the generic name Pagodroma, in the Paris academic journal Compte Rendus.. (1856). James Francis Stephens (General Zoology, 1826) equated Pagodroma nivea in the genus Daption, Heinrich Reichenbach (Avium Systema Naturale, 1852) included it in the genus Thalassoica, and George Robert Gray (Hand-list of the Birds, 1871) included it in the genus Fulmarus.
Hermann Schlegel, in his treatise on birds in the Leiden Museum in Mus. Pay-Bas (1863), designated two forms of the snow petrel for the first time. He had believed, erroneously, that the Cook expedition specimen represented the greater snow petrel, and designated it as Pagodroma nivea, incorporating P. major (Bonaparte) as a synonym of it. He thus redundantly described Procellaria nivea minor, also extracted from Bonaparte's nomen nudum, as the lesser form. With the measurements provided by Lichtenstein taken from J. R. Forsters' manuscript, it was already clear by this time that nivea represented the lesser snow petrel.
This matter was further clarified by Gregory Mathews, who in Birds of Australia, volume 2 (1912), described the greater form as Pagodroma confusa. However, Mathews did not designate a type for this, and it was Ernst Hartert (Novitates Zoologicae, 1926) who identified P. confusa with lectotypes in the British Museum, (Tring). From that time debate has persisted as to whether the snow petrel represents one monotypic species, one species with two subspecies, or two different species. In addition, J. Prevost (Oiseaux, 1969) identified Pagodroma nivea major to the greater snow petrel, thus rendering valid the nomen nudum of Bonaparte.
In the 1850s the Rattlesnake expedition procured specimens of the snow petrel from the South Georgia/Falklands region, near South America. A German Antarctic exploring expedition, 1882–83, also obtained skins, and opinion had emerged that the petrel populations there were unique from P. nivea. What distinguished the skins were the black shafts to the remiges, or flight feathers. Heinrich Pagenstecher in 1885 proposed the binomial name for a subspecies, Pagodroma novegeorgica (Jahrbuch Wiss. Hamburg II). The publication of this name was overlooked by English-speaking naturalists, and a similar account by Karl von der Steinen (1890) which had informally dropped the name novegeorgica, was not; this later account came to represent the scientific authority for South Georgia petrels. Gregory Mathews, in his Birds, designated the type from the Rattlesnake expedition to Steinen's "name". Later adding to the confusion, he assumed that the name novegeorgica could not be used for South Georgia petrels: Steinen's use of the term was not valid in a taxonomic sense, and this same term had been reinforced by its usage within the synopses of other, previous works. Thus, he created a nomen novum for the type he had designated in Birds, as Pagodroma nivea falklandica (Bulletin of the British Orn. Club, 1926). Eventually, Hellmayr and Conover (Museum of Nat. Hist. Publications, Chicago; 1949) unraveled the matter by recognizing Pagenstecher as the authority for novegeorgica, and omitting reference to Steinen.
In the decade following the United States Exploring Expedition, Titian Ramsay Peale (1848) wrote an account of the bird and mammal specimens collected, including the description of an atypical snow petrel that was completely white—even the loral area behind the eye. The name Procellaria candida was published as an alternative synonym for the entry of Procellaria nivea. Mathews (1912) recognized Pagodroma nivea candida as a subspecies, taken from Peale's name. However, with the prevailing attitude at the time that names used in synonymy could not be used to identify forms, he later felt that P. n. candida could not be used and then amended this by creating the name Pagodroma nivea pealei. (Bulletin of the British Orn. Club, 1928). Mathews also described the subspecies Pagodroma nivea alba (Bulletin of the British Orn. Club, 1928) for the type he designated in his book, Birds of Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands (1928); the latter had also included information on the avifauna of the Australasian quadrant of Antarctica.
In Du Cane Godman's, (Monograph of the Petrels, fasc. 4, 1909), it was figured in an illustration by John Gerrard Keulemans (pl. 73).
The word petrel is derived from Peter the Apostle and the story of his walking on water. This is in reference to the petrel's habit of appearing to run on the water to take off.[7] Also, Pagodroma can be broken down as follows, pagos is Greek for "ice" and dromos for "a running course". Nivea is derived from Latin adjective niveus, -a, -um meaning "snowy". The snow reference is probably meant for its white color.[7]
The snow petrel, Pagodroma nivea, is a small, pure white fulmarine petrel with black underdown, coal-black eyes, small black bill and bluish gray feet.[8] Body length is 36–41 cm (14–16 in) and the wingspan is 76–79 cm (30–31 in). Flight is more fluttering than most petrels. They are known to live 14 to 20 years.[citation needed]
Snow petrels are almost entirely restricted to cold Antarctic waters. Flocks are characteristically seen sitting on icebergs.
Breeding occurs in colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula, and various Antarctic islands.[6] Nesting is colonial in small to large colonies on cliffs, usually near the sea, but also inland. Some birds remain at the colony all year, but the main influx at colonies is from the mid-September until early November. Nests are simple pebble-lined scrapes usually in a deep rock crevices with overhanging protection. One white egg is laid between late November and mid-December. The egg is incubated 41 to 49 days and the chick is brooded for 8 days. They fledge 7 weeks later in late February to mid-May. Colonies are also the sites of cleaning areas where snow petrels, far from the sea, bathe in snow.[citation needed]
Snow petrel partners are faithful for life (around 20 years).
|This Feeding section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009)
Snow petrels feed mainly on fish, some cephalopods, mollusks and krill as well as carrion. During the winter they disperse to the pack ice, ice floes and the open sea. Flocks are characteristically seen sitting on icebergs. Only very rarely are they observed north of the pack ice.[9]
The snow petrel has an occurrence range of 35,900,000 km2 (13,861,067 sq mi), and an estimated population of 4 million adult birds. Based on these numbers the IUCN has classified this bird as least concern.[10]

Atmos Energy says it was able to seal a small leak at 22nd Street and 34th Avenue in Meridian. But it's also canvassing the neighborhood for other leaks.
Residents of the area had complained of a strong odor and were scared of the presence of leaking gas. The smell is mercaptan, a chemical added to gas, which is odorless, so that leaks can be detected.
Spokesman Robert Lesley said the company's efforts to survey for other leaks are being hampered somewhat by rain that fell overnight.

The United Nations food agency FAO has predicted that global farming will move increasingly towards meat and milk production and away from traditional rice and grain agriculture in line with changing consumer tastes.
The joint report on Friday by the Food and Agriculture Organisation in Rome and the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) of 34 leading world economies contained price and production forecasts to 2023.
By then, the report said world meat production will have gone up by 58 million tonnes - with developing countries making up 80 per cent of that increase.
The biggest gains will be for poultry - 50 per cent of the total - and pork at 30 per cent, the report said, adding that poultry was an inexpensive source of protein that was not subject to any religious or cultural bans.
The report also found that China's population alone will make up half of the global increase in meat consumption.
It said cereal prices would continue falling for up to two years but then stabilise to pre-2008 levels, while meat, milk and fish prices would rise.

We're seeing corruption of files downloaded using Download Manager (v2.2.7). Two bytes are being added to the front of every downloaded file, a space (0x20) and a linefeed (0x0A). PDF's still open okay, the reader obviously ignores them but Word .doc files won't open.
I gather this can happen if there are any characters outside of the <?php ?> tags but is the problem within Download Manager or is it in WordPress itself?
Any help appreciated.

3 grenades found where man injured in Ariz. blast
PHOENIX (AP) – Three weathered grenades have been found on the Arizona property where a man was wounded in an explosion last week as authorities continue to investigate whether the materials were left over from a cleanup operation in the 1990s on the same site where a munitions maker once tested bomb-making materials.
Steven Scott Lane, 49, lost a foot and suffered injuries to his face and eye on Oct. 4 in the rural area on the outskirts of Phoenix.
Two witnesses said Lane was helping them move out of a rented home on the property when he stepped on something that exploded.
Investigators have since said the site had not been rented to anyone and was supposed to be vacant.
Bomb technicians found three "very weathered" grenades on the property after an extensive sweep, Deputy Joaquin Enriquez said Wednesday.
An investigation remains ongoing.
In 1997, federal agents raided the same property and discovered thousands of pounds of explosives, including materials to make grenades and booby traps, mostly stored in a shed on the site.
At the time, Charles Byers, a former munitions manufacturer, lived there. He later pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally possessing grenade fuses and manufacturing ammunition. He was sentenced to probation.
In 1999, a state task force declared the 120-acre ranch safe after an extensive cleanup.
While authorities haven't ruled out the possibility that the device that injured Lane was left over from the cleanup, they say it could be unrelated, given the changing stories of the witnesses and the fact that they were not authorized to be on the property.
Dr. James Schamadan, who was appointed by then-Arizona Gov. Jane Hull to head a team overseeing the cleanup, said the explosion last week may have been caused by leftover materials.
Schamadan said federal authorities initially planned to blow up the hut instead of removing the explosives, but environmental concerns sidelined that option. In anticipation of the initial plan, however, Schamadan said authorities built a berm around it by bulldozing dirt from the property into large piles. Authorities have said the explosion last week occurred around the berm.
"Who knows what was in there?" Schamadan said Wednesday.
The berm was created, he said, before his team swept the property for remaining explosives.
Byers told KGTV in San Diego last week that he didn't believe whatever injured Lane belonged to him. Enriquez said authorities were still awaiting results of tests to determine exactly what exploded and where it came from.
Messages left for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which assisted in the initial disposal of munitions on the site, have not been returned.

Message from the High Commissioner
On behalf of the Government of Canada, I am pleased to welcome you to our High Commission's website.
Ghana and Canada share many values including freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
Over this past few years, our countries witnessed an unprecedented number of high level visits by Canadian officials to Ghana, including the state visit of the Governor General, David Johnston; and the visits of the Minister of International Trade, the Minister of Foreign Affairs , as well as two visits by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
These visits highlight the importance Canada places on our bilateral relationship, and the recognition that Ghana is a strong partner in development, democracy, human rights, global security and trade and investment.
I look forward to continuing our partnership to enhance bilateral trade and investment, and by extension, to create jobs and growth in both our countries. Ghana has leveraged its stability and strong democratic credentials to achieve significant economic progress since its independence in 1957. I am pleased that Canadian investment partners are joining Ghana on this path to prosperity. We are eager to expand and strengthen our trade and investment cooperation with Ghana. One hundred and twenty-eight Canadian companies are active in Ghana; sixty-two of which have offices here. I hope to see the Canadian presence continue to grow during my tenure.
On matters of global security, Ghana has been a long-standing partner in Canada's Military Training and Cooperation Program, with more than 300 Ghanaian participants. Canada has welcomed Ghana's significant contribution to peacekeeping operations around the world and has contributed over $3 million along with personnel and expertise to the Kofi Annan International Peace Training Centre. We are also cooperating in the areas of maritime security and illegal migration.
On human rights co-operation, our shared values run deep, and cooperation is extensive, both here in Ghana and internationally. As an example, the governments of Canada, Ghana and the Netherlands hosted an event on the margins of the 68th United Nations General Assembly entitled "Too Young to Wed: Empowering Girls as Leaders of Tomorrow."
And, of course, across Ghana, Canada is known for being a reliable development partners since the country's independence. Ghana is a country of focus for Canadian development assistance and one of the top five recipients of Canadian bilateral assistance worldwide. Canada is also consistently among the top five bilateral development partners in Ghana.
Canada is committed to working with the Government of Ghana, civil society and the private sector to support development in strategic areas such as agriculture, nutrition, clean water and basic sanitation. We were pleased that the Mutual Accountability Framework was signed in April 2015 by both our governments. The Framework further strengthens our bilateral relationship and sets the tone for Canada's continued support to implementation of Maternal Newborn and Child Health initiatives and the a focus on the three thematic priorities. These priorities include support to food security, through investments in agriculture and basic nutrition, and securing the future of children and youth through improved access to clean water in underserved areas and improving basic sanitation. As we move forward, we will be expanding our development partnership to include sustainable economic growth programming. This will help Ghana's transition to a stable middle income country.
The relationship is also one of shared experiences and personal connections. Canada is proud to host thousands of Ghanaian students and visitors every year, and a growing and diverse Ghanaian diaspora. To make this happen, our visa office is busy providing services for ten countries. We have recently opened a Visa Application Centre (VAC) to assist our clients in submitting temporary resident visa applications in Accra and we are excited about the recent launch of Canada's Express Entry system which will help select skilled immigrants on the basis of their skills and expertise. It will allow us to better respond to Canada's changing labour market needs and, as its name suggest, qualified candidates can expect faster processing times.
The enduring friendship between Ghana and Canada is demonstrated by the thousands of Canadians who are in Ghana at any given time to invest, work, study, teach, visit family and friends, or tour the country's many beautiful and historic sites. The High Commission provides consular services to Canadians in Ghana, Togo, and Sierra Leone including passports and assistance to Canadians who find themselves in situations of distress. If you are a Canadian in one of these three countries, I recommend you register your travel, since that is the mission's best way of knowing that you are in the region and for us to stay in touch in case of emergency. Registration is simple and confidential at www.travel.gc.ca.
I encourage you to explore the links on this website for detailed information on the range of services we provide, and to engage with us on Twitter (@CanHCGhana) and Facebook (High-Commission-of-Canada-to-Ghana-Togo-and-Sierra-Leone) for regular updates on our activities and issues that may be of interest to Canadians and Ghanaians alike.

The hosts got off to a flying start, scoring two goals in the first 10 minutes through David Ngog and Marcos Alonso.
With his team now just two points off the npower Championship play-offs, Freedman believes his players are more than capable of squeezing into the top six.
"There are a few games to go and we will try to get over the finishing line," he said.
"We started the game so well and in the first 30 minutes we expressed the talent that we've got and, if we'd have been better at finishing, we would have been four or five up.
"In the second half you then saw a very organised team who could hold out for the win, which is something we weren't at the start of the season.
"I think that teams and even fans of other teams are looking at us as a club facing the right direction and getting better.
"The problem for us is that the games are running out, but you can tell by today that we're going somewhere as a team and that we are more than capable of making that final push."

Jayson Velez Eyes A Possible Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. Clash
By Rey Colon
Undefeated super bantamweight Jayson 'La Maravilla' Velez said his short-term goal is to win the WBO title in his division. Currently he is ranked tenth, noting that if Wilfredo 'Papito' Vazquez Jr. continues to remain the champion, he will have no choice but to confront him in the ring.
"He's great fighter and is very humble. I like his attitude in the ring but we will end up being possible opponents, although it's understood that he is preparing to move up to 126 pounds. Otherwise, he will be a stone in my path. I'm training to fight whoever is in the middle," revealed the boxer who is 14-0 with 11 knockouts.
Velez, easy to talk to, said that he expects to fight for the title by the end of the year.
"But if the opportunity arises before then, we will take it. If it's Vazquez, and if not, then whatever. The important thing is to fight for the world title and fight whoever they put in front of me," Velez said.
Rey Colon covers the boxing scene in Puerto Rico for Sport Press.

Protein for the Endurance Athlete...How much is enough?
By Anne Guzman
Peaks Coaching Group Nutritionist
Pro Cyclist
- Ex. 165 lb (75kg) athlete in training would eat 120 grams (480cals) of a 3,000-3,500 cal day versus 2000-2500 in carbohydrates.
- In comparison it is not a large portion of the calories.
- 120 grams of protein looks like this:
- 6oz chicken - 40g
- 2 eggs - 12g
- 1C plain yogurt - 6g
- 1 scoop whey protein - 25g
- 2C black beans and rice - 14g
- 1C Quinoa - 24g

SkillsTrain Introduces New 'Home Study' Linux Course
,----[ Quote ]
| To meet the growing demand for Linux Systems Support Engineers,
| Administrators and Developers, Europeâs largest blended learning IT company,
| SkillsTrain, has introduced a new Linux+ course...
LinuxCertified Announces its next "Linux Fundamentals" Course
,----[ Quote ]
| This two-day introduction to Linux broadens attendees horizons with a
| detailed overview of the operating system. Attendees learn how to effectively
| use a Linux system as a valuable tool.
Report: Open Source Adoption Increases App Dev Pay
,----[ Quote ]
| A report from New York City-based consulting company Bluewolf says IT
| salaries across the board will continue to rise in 2008, with application
| developers leading the pack with 7.6 percent salary growth. The increase
| brings application developers' salaries to between $112,500 from $80,250. Â*
Advice for the MCSE: go back to school
,----[ Quote ]
| Number one on that list is a simple reality: everything changes, and by
| betting against industry wide change youâre leaving yourself, your family,
| and even your community hostage to Microsoftâs continuing commercial success. Â*
| [...]
| Not many people like Microsoft - and there are better alternatives: Linux on
| the server side, MacOS X on the user side.
| Is it going to happen tomorrow? Probably not, but it will - and when it does
| a lot of todayâs MCSEs will be caught out: essentially unemployable in
| comparable professional roles without significant, unanticipated, and
| uprooting personal change. Â*
,----[ Quote ]
| The Scary World of Linux Computers.
| Dunkelberger likely wasn't intending to suggest that the iPhone was
| running Linux, but instead that it is a full computing environment
| with multiple vectors for potential exploits to attack. It is
| interesting that he brought up Linux however, because it is a scary
| subject for IT staff beholden to Microsoft.
| The majority of Microsoft oriented corporate IT staff I've worked with
| have a sort of reverential fear of Linux. They like to talk about it
| in a respectful sort of way, but they are often afraid to actually use
| it. Deploying a Linux server without an outside support agreement is a
| very scary task to users who have felt safe for years in their
| codependent relationship with Microsoft.
| After investing tens of thousands of dollars into their troubled
| relationship, after spending sleepless nights nursing NT servers back
| to health after they fall off the wagon to binge on worms and the
| other malware they have a genetic propensity to be addicted to, after
| growing dependent upon calling up the Redmond Father's TechNet for
| advice on how to deal with the regular schizoid mania and subsequent
| crashing of Windows, it's difficult to start over with something
| entirely new.
| IT managers are a whipped bunch. Linux is an allure associated with
| danger, like a pretty girl on the bus who smiles at the haggard,
| middle aged family man. She's just being friendly, not inviting him
| into a blissful world. He knows he has to think about his commitments
| to Microsoft, all of the fighting that would have been for nothing,
| all of the holding back of hair that he's already dealt with and wants
| to use as credit toward an established relationship. It's too much
| starting over, too late in the game.
| Today's adherents of Microsoft are like the COBOL programmers in the
| 90s: too old to learn new tricks, and too tired to even want to try.
| They are dinosaurs, dependent upon resisting change to maintain their
| proprietary world.
| Change isn't resisted successfully for long, but holdout adherents can
| oppose progress and tenaciously hold things up for longer periods of
| time than one might imagine possible.
| Is Linux Really a Problem?
| Of course, there are lots of phones that run Linux already--far more
| than run Windows Mobile--and they are not plagued by security
| problems.
| There are also tens of millions of embedded routers and phone systems
| running Linux or its BSD cousin, and none have suffered a scourge of
| security rashes anything remotely like Microsoft's Windows. Perhaps
| security isn't just a product of being powerful or having market
| share.
| Why would the iPhone's closed BSD environment be a special security
| risk? Hackers working on the iPhone have to build and install their
| own shell before they can even control it in ideal settings in a lab.
| If iPhone enthusiasts can't hack their own phones without first
| manually installing their own root access and shell environment, why
| are pundits distributing scary stories about the potential for iPhones
| to turn on their human masters and form a rebellion mechanical army of
| robot terrorists?
| Why didn't these flacks ever tell us about their brainstorming efforts
| to imagine security problems for Windows Mobile devices?
Linux Job Market Trends: Galloping Forward
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâre a Linux specialist looking for the best paying area of the country,
| your best bet is â no surprise â Silicon Valley, where Linux pros make
| $96,578 (but a cup of coffee costs $11.25). Other top-paying Linux areas are
| Washington, D.C. ($86,882), Los Angeles ($86,618), and New York ($86,305).
2007: Where the Tech Jobs Are
,----[ Quote ]
| ...open source and Linux skills are very hot. "Linux is one of the fastest
| growing, if not required, then recommended skills that most of the
| sysadmins and operations people have," Melland says. "If you're a systems
| administrator and you don?t have Linux experience, you might want to seek
| that out."
| [...]
| All this migration to Linux and open source means that job openings are
| zooming. Based on Dice statistics, Linux as a recommended skill is up 51%
| this year, and roughly 150% in the last two years.
Linux and Open Source: How They Affect HR Professionals
Linux kernel developers have tripled in number
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation (LF) has published a study on Linux mainline kernel
| development. According to LF, the number of Linux kernel developers has
| tripled since 2005, with many more companies contributing to the process
| (including, potentially, the latest new LF member, Adobe). Â*

Be a Fellow | Host a Fellow | Current Fellows | Past Fellows | Alumni
The Island Fellows Program is one of the signature programs of the Island Institute. Since 1999, the Island Fellows Program has placed college and master's degree graduates in Maine's coastal and year-round island communities for one to two years. Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for recent graduates to apply their skills and experience to help build sustainability within communities whose way of life and identity face many challenges.
The Island Fellows Program is an official winner of the
2014 SHIFT Sustainability Award.
How does the Island Fellows Program work?
The Island Fellows Program immerses Fellows within a community, connecting directly with islanders to gain an intimate understanding of island life and apply it to the identified project. Island communities apply to the Institute to place an Island Fellow in residence to work in community based organizations. The Institute then finds highly qualified recent college or university graduates to fill these positions. Fellows spend 12 to 24 months living in island and remote coastal communities, working on critical, community-identified projects.
Be a Fellow
The Fellowship application period is open from January until Mid- March for a September program start. Top candidates are then interviewed in the island or coastal host communities by key contacts who will be working with the Fellow. On-island/coastal interviews are required. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen of Lawful Permanent Resident.
Minimum Qualifications
- Recent completion of a baccalaureate or graduate degree (within five years)
- Demonstrated interest and experience in a field relevant to the placement sites, such as community service, community planning, natural-resource planning, GIS mapping, educational outreach, etc.
- A strong service ethic
- Flexibility
- A strong desire to live and work within a small, remote community
- Strong self-motivation and the ability to work with minimal supervision
Island Fellow Benefits
Each Fellow receives a stipend of $15,000, plus rent and utilities. The Institute also provides reimbursement for approved work-related expenses, access to a professional development fund, and offers to offset part of the cost of a new laptop for first year Fellows.
In addition to the application form, the following are required:
- An unofficial copy of your transcripts of complete undergraduate and graduate records
- Two letters of recommendation
- A concise personal statement
- A resume
applications Due March 25, 2015

The Island Institute Fellows Program's goals are to provide support for Maine's island and remote coastal communities by:
- Building capacity by meeting community-stated needs through project-based work
- Increasing capacity for the local management of historical, cultural, natural, economic and informational resources
- Assisting local research, planning, education and technology projects
- Offering enriching professional-development opportunities for Island Fellows

These days, active couples are looking for adventurous dates to cross items off their bucket lists as a team. These three experiences will help you do that.
Skydiving is found on nearly every adventurer's bucket list. There's no better place to make the jump than Skydive Spaceland Atlanta. A short drive from Atlanta, Skydive Spaceland Atlanta takes thrill-seekers away from the crowds for spectacular jumps with beautiful views of Georgia's Appalachian foothills. One of the world's biggest and most progressive skydive training centers, the state-of-the-art facilities are perfect for first-timers and veterans alike.
Stone Summit Rock Climbing Gym
Sometimes, summer's outdoor adventures begin indoors. Stone Summit Rock Climbing Gym offers everything an adventurous couple needs to get climbing. Couples taking on this sport will be happy to know it's a team effort with a climber and a belay. Two facilities in the Atlanta area feature colorful three-story climbing walls, bouldering rooms, technique instruction and belay lessons.
Adventure isn't always heart-pounding excitement, and Mill Pond Kayak proves it. Paddling among the cypress trees of Watson Mill Pond and George L Smith State Park is a relaxing way to stay active outdoors. Mill Pond Kayak supplies the gear and a tour guide for exploring miles of blackwater trails. Paddlers view wildlife on the water and see historic sites along tours lasting nearly three hours.

This week, Warren Sapp leads a meltdown in Jacksonville, Philip Rivers impersonates Warren Sapp in Denver, and Herman Edwards explains Brodie Croyle's aura. Seriously. All this, plus Wade Phillips' daughter talks about stripping in public!
