Perception Of Climatic Events By The Population Of The Amazon Estuary
Sergio Rivero, Oriana Almeida, Yue Dou, Mariano Alves-Valez, Francisca Conceicao, Hilder Farias
, Waterloo University
Sub-theme 17: Climate change, impacts and adaptation,
The studies on climate change in Amazonia have focused on the impact of changes on the regional climate (Coe et al 2002, Costa et al., 2013, Costa et al, 2007, Sampaio et al., 2007, Oliveira et al 2013) or on the relationship of climate change and reduction of biomass (Phillips et al. 2013) and more recently on the interactions between human activities (such as deforestation), climate change and the water system (Melack et al 2013). However, there are few studies on the impact of climate change to the population of the Amazonian estuary. The population of the Amazon floodplain is subject to a number of inter and intra-annual variations in the periods of flooding that has a strong impact on productive strategies such as cattle ranching, agriculture, extraction of forest products (Hiraoka et al ., 1997, McGrath et al., 2007). Due to environmental constraints, this population depends heavily on extractive fishing and is thus even more vulnerable. The resulting system of environmental and economic interactions have generated diverse and dynamic and complex systems (Pinedo-Vasquez et al., 2001). For families who own a land area in the uplands, agriculture is a potential low-risk activity, however, for most families residing in the floodplain in areas that are completely flooded during high tides, this alternative does not exist or imply in a higher risk. Families in areas outside the floodplain have to use alternative crops more resistant to heat or reduced rainfall as a form of adaptation while this is a very limited option in the estuary due to topographical constraints of the terrain and flood regimes. This paper aims to analyze the perception of traditional estuarine population in relation to climatic events in the Amazon and assess the potential for adaptation to climate change in this population. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed and tested with 58 families in the Amazon estuary on the impact of climate change on fisheries and the production of açaí. Due to the intra and inter-annual environmental variation that these families are subject to, the questionnaire was adjusted twice to finally be reapplied with 239 families in two communities in the municipality of the state of Pará Abaetetuba: Arumanduba (169 interviews) and São João Batista (70 ). Questioned regarding their perception of climate change in the last 20 years, more than 60% of respondents mentioned that in this period they have seen the rise of temperature, rainfall and tides. Perceptions of climate impacts vary according to the activity and the type of weather event to be evaluated. One factor that had a consistent overall assessment was that high temperature affects the production of açaí. In general the product dries on the tree or fall and, according to the interviewees, can reduce yields by up to 46% on average and that most of the respondents informed that reduces between 10-20% while just over a fifth of the respondents estimates the reduction in 50%. Those who inform that high temperature do not affect the production of açaí, believe that the shading variation the trees, the level of the land and its flood can result in the difference in yeld. Regarding the fishing activity the answers were not as uniform as for the acai. In general, 54-58% report that high temperature affects the shrimp and fish (respectively) reducing their catch. The shrimp seem to be more susceptible to temperature and most of the informants said that the reduction occurs in the range 10-20% of production. The perception that temperature affects fishing fish is low (23% of total). The impact of rain, however, was remarkable for fishing. Most of the respondants say that increased rainfall and reduces fish and shrimp production (78% and 81%, respectively). In this case, around 50% said that production is reduced between 10-20% while 20% say that the reduction is around 50%. The tide seems to have huge impact on fisheries. In this case the respondents say that when the tides are higher there is a large reduction in fish and shrimp production (92 and 95%, respectively) where almost half of the respondents said that high tides reduce production between 10 and 20%, A substantial proportion of the respondents (43% related to shrimp and 55% on the fishing portion) say there is a reduction equal to or greater than 50%. Asked what each could do to reduce the impact of these factors respondents in almost all the answers or told that there was nothing to do, they did not know or did not answer the question. Asked how to reduce the impact of high tide relative to shrimp production, all respondents report not knowing what they could do. Surprisingly while 65% of respondents said that there was no way to reduce the impact of high temperatures on shrimp farming and fishing, the rest (45%), for the most part, believed that reducing deforestation would be a way to alleviate the impact. Some responded that useful measures could be to reforest or to protect the forest, or to reduce the effluent from the alumina plant in the Barcarena complex. Regarding the impact of high temperatures on the production of açaí a smaller proportion said not knowing what steps to take, a greater number said it was important to reduce deforestation and only 2% suggested to harvest before the hottest time. One of the points to be noted here is that the questions sought perceptions about the impact of climate variations on production for the year that the respondent consider a normal year. Our questionnaire also considered a weather event at a time and does not consider interaction between events. Analyzing rain as a factor, for example, in the period 1998-2013 the years 2002, 2003 and 2010 were considered too dry for the location while the years 1999, 2000 and 2005 were considered very rainy by Câmara climatological analysis (manuscript). The population of the estuary is subject to a continuous process of adaptation. The cycle of the sugar cane mills encouraged the planting of sugar cane (from 1920 to 1987, Anderson 1991) resulting in deforestation of lowland forest. In 1987 in end of the cycle, the population began the cycle of palm hearts, down much of the native palm heart areas for sale of palm and finally only with the rising price of açaí they began a process or maintenance of forest with enrichment of açaí forests or replanting açaí trees in areas previously cleared. In 1984 with the construction of Tucuruí hydroelectric dam, there were huge drop in fish catch (Juras et al., 2007) downstream of the dam to which the population also had to adapt. These experiences can cause the population to adapt more easily, however, with the major limitations of possible activities in the várzea and the high dependence on fishing and açaí this population need to be aware of the impacts.

By Maureen Forman
As we embrace a new year, many of us pledge to be a nicer person, to be kinder, less negative, more compassionate. In short we make the promise to be the very best versions of ourselves this year.
For parents, that often involves grappling with the unnecessary fights we have with our children. And for parents that were raised in harsh households, this can be a particular challenge. Even though we all pledge to never do anything our parents did, somehow we hear the same critical phrases, exasperated tones and reactive behavior that we swore we would never repeat coming right out of our very own mouths!
So here are some 3 tips that may be helpful:
1) Forgive yourself. We can only give what we were given until we learn new behaviors. That's the way humans are built. All we can do is the best we know at a given time.
2) Teach Yourself: Learn some new behaviors. This can begin very simply and a little change goes a long way. For example her are a few tricks that can de-escalate an argument with a child
3) Nourish yourself: Make more time for walking, praying or learning. As our adult brain flourishes and adds new layers, the old patterns learned in childhood become proportionately smaller and less influential in our daily lives.
The key is to try something different. Once you see the results of feeding your adult self with nurturing energy and withdrawing energy from all needless conflict you will be a believer! You will see arguments decrease and harmony increase… and the very best version of you will get to shine!

When I was in my late 20s, I was told I "hit like a girl." I was taking a self-defense class and had never thrown a punch before. The instructor didn't say "you hit like someone who's never thrown a punch." Instead he went for an insult: "you hit like a girl." I wasn't confused by what he said: he meant I wasn't trying hard enough or doing it correctly.
That thoughtless instructor came back to me recently when I saw an ad campaign for products targeted at active women that included the phrase "Like A Girl." I wasn't inspired to buy the product, but the ads were a valuable reminder that the negative connotations associated with being female are, even in the 21st century, pervasive in our culture. The phrase "you _____ like a girl" is so deeply ingrained in our society that we automatically know it means we're not doing something well enough, strong enough, fast enough, smart enough. If we're doing something like a girl, we're doing it inadequately.
I was tall, and self-conscious about standing out, as an adolescent. I don't think I would have felt the same way about being the tallest in the class if I'd been a boy. It can take decades for a girl to unlearn those messages and learn instead how to expand and occupy her space. Yoga became, for me, a great equalizer where the anatomical differences between genders were balanced out over the span of the practice. On the mat different is just different, not better or worse. I was lucky to have been introduced to yoga and weight training at a young age, which helped me develop a strong sense of self and presence. However, that development process took time as well as defiance against what had been an accepted standard that women should take up less space and have soft voices. We continue to use language that reinforces the idea that being a girl means being insufficient.
I'd like to think the days are gone when girls were told to dumb down or to let the boy win to get his affection. However, we are still neck deep in cues for acceptable behavior that teach young girls how to blend in and shrink back. It comes out when we confuse the strength of being self–centered with the weakness of being selfish. It's apparent when women swallow their voices for fear of being labeled bossy or bitchy. The "Like A Girl" ad campaign tries to turn around the paradigm and make it positive.
It may take much more effort and vigilance to stamp out the idea that to be female is to be a member of the weaker sex, but this ad campaign presents itself as an opportunity to hold ourselves accountable for lazy language as well as the misperceptions behind it, because a single positive message alone cannot erase a cultural standard. As active women, we are all helping to show what it means to be strong and feminine.

Love Is An Expensive Business - Valentine's Day By The Numbers
Love is an expensive business and nothing proves it better than Valentine's Day. Few countries take February 14th as seriously as the United States and this year the average American will spend $142.31 on gifts. Men are going to spend nearly twice as much as women with overall sales amounting to a whopping $19 billion, an increase on 2014.
$4.8 billion will be splurged on jewelry, $3.6 billion will be spent on date nights while just over $2.1 billion will be set aside for flowers. Interestingly, Valentine's Day isn't just for couples. Other family members, friends and children's classmates/teachers are all set for gifts on February 14th. Somewhat bizzarely, 21.2 percent of Americans will spend a grand total of $703 million on Valentine's Day gifts for their pets!…
Love is in the air and we are spending a lot of money to show our Valentine how much they mean to us!

Milwaukee should end residency requirement
The freedom to move and live where we want is fundamental in our society. Yet Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and others seem to think that Milwaukee's police officers, teachers, and other public employees should not have the same right as everyone else to choose where they live. They fear that the Republican-dominated state Legislature will overturn the city's residency rule.
I find myself aligned with the Republicans on this one. Residency requirements should go.
Advocates of residency rules will argue that requiring police officers or teachers to reside in their cities or districts would help them better understand the people and community they deal with every day. Undoubtedly, it would. But countless other professions require a sense of the people and the community, too. What about bank presidents, CEOs, attorneys, or doctors who deal with people in Milwaukee but leave their offices to return to their homes in Shorewood or Glendale? Don't they need a sense of the community they serve? No one tells them they must live in the city.
Only public employees are targeted. Public employees are victims of the mind-set that says that if our taxes pay their salaries, then by golly, we have every right to tell them how to live. Well, we don't.
Is Milwaukee such an awful place to live that public employees will only live here if they are forced to? That hardly seems possible. But if Milwaukee is perceived as so unattractive that people must be required to live here as a condition of their employment, perhaps Milwaukee officials ought to be addressing how to make it a more attractive place to live.
The truth is that people choose where they live for many reasons - family, convenience, economics or finding that dream home. Some people are attracted to life in the city. For various reasons, some are not. But if public employees choose to work in Milwaukee and live in Brookfield or Greendale, or vice versa, and even commute an hour or more daily, that choice is theirs to make.
What about married couples who work in two different cities or school districts? Should they be required to live in Milwaukee instead of some more convenient location midway between their work sites? What if every municipality or school district had the same rule? What do the supporters of residency rules think such families should do?
The residency rule might very well result in their choosing not to work and live in the city, the very opposite of its intent. In a time when Milwaukee needs about 700 competent, motivated teachers, such disincentives to prospective employees are unconscionable.
The residency rule places a tremendous burden on job applicants or new hires. It's not easy to pick up and move to a new city. In today's market, selling a house is difficult. A house could sit on the market for months before it sells, if it sells at all. Meanwhile, new hires must find a home in the city by the deadline or risk losing their jobs. How does this encourage anybody to seek employment in Milwaukee?
The residency rule is the last vestige of the "company town" mentality. Get rid of it.
Thomas Zachek has lived for 40 years in the school district in which he worked. Email email@example.com.

In addition to discovering the benefits of a comfortable stadium chair, she has seen many lessons about life illustrated on the playing field. This book combines aspects of the game of football, personal anecdotes, practical examples and Scripture to illustrate biblical truths about life.

The studies carried out on the role of honey bee (Apis mellifera) in hybrid seed production of Brassica campestris showed the highest number of pollen and nectar collectors of Apis mellifera and were recorded 45.6 and 24.6 per square meter crop area of B campestris respectively during day hours of 12.00 to 2.00 pm, which were significantly greater than the rest of foraging observations. In bee pollinated plants, the number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of seeds per plant, seed yield per plant and weight of 1000 seeds in BP plants were about 1.3, 1.1, 1.44, 1.53 and 1.62 times greater than NP plants,respectively. As such worker bees observed for foraging to collect the nectar and pollen after spraying of the insecticide i.e. Confidor 200 SL (Imidacloprid) in the concentration of 0.025g a.i., 0.030g a.i.and 0.035g a.i., but bee poisonong were neither observed in bee hive nor in field. During foraging, honey bees provide the opportunity for transference of pollen from male fertile to male sterile plant and resulted the production of hybrid seeds.

I watched Lincoln last night, and it was thrilling to see Daniel Day-Lewis masterfully bring the man to life. But I left the film with a nagging dissatisfaction. Here are some loose and dirty thoughts:
*Spielbergian flourishes. The film opens with mawkishness, and closes with it—Lincoln's death scene ("Now he belongs with the ages") is rendered like a wax museum scene, only for Lincoln to be reincarnated before the final credits to deliver his second inaugural. This brief, final scene emerges from a chintzy superimposition of candlelight—it's jarringly overwrought—but Spielberg's right to leave us not with Lincoln's death, but with his words.
*Spielberg has a tendency to signpost moments of emotional importance, often with John Williams' typically throbbing score. Sometimes he pre-empts them, letting us know with some tentative clarinet notes that Something Important is going to happen. It's a longstanding habit—as is his use of John Williams—and it remains manipulative and condescending.
*There's another habit of Spielberg on display here—his desire to jam his epics with elements of multiple genres. Spielberg wants to please us—all of us—and it's sort of a democratic impulse, I guess, to weave slapstick and romance into high historical drama. But I found it distracting.
*In more hagiographic depictions of Lincoln, his wisdom just is. It appears from a vacuum. But Lincoln does an admirable job of showing us the depth and the weird and melancholic contours of the man. Lincoln's wisdom was hard-won, emerging from suffering and privation, and sharpened by the introspection of a depressive. The film gets this, Daniel Day-Lewis gets it.
*Another commendable aspect of this film is how well it shows the quality of Lincoln's intelligence and moralism. What it looks like. Lincoln read, almost exclusively, legal journals and Shakespeare, and these heavily accent his reasoning. While discussing the legality of slavery—and the imperatives of his oath—Lincoln reasons carefully, lawyerly. There's almost a mathematical precision to his approach to moral issues and the film captures this. It also captures—if downplays—the pragmatism of Abraham Lincoln, nesting it with his idealism.
*Daniel Day-Lewis = revelatory.
*Much of the dialogue is not Kushner's work—it's Lincoln's or the speaker's. Much of the dialogue was taken from letters and speeches, and the film is weighed down by this lack of naturalism. The words are beautiful, but the speechifying is cloying. Some of the best moments occur in quieter scenes where Kushner's pen is at work—weirdly, they're more "natural". Perhaps it was deference to historical accuracy that led to the characters' own written words suddenly springing perfectly formed from their mouths in conversation. Perhaps it was deference to Lincoln himself, one of America's best writers. But there's a cost to this.
*The assassination. Few of us wanted to see Lincoln splattered over Mary. But the ending was rushed, and, I think, a missed opportunity. There is no doubt that considerable drama could be had with that scene, but it needn't be the gauche denouement of blood and brain. We come to see Mary's deep suffering over the death of her young son William, which provides a heartbreaking precedent to the murder of her husband—a close-up of her face, perhaps, and nothing else? Otherwise, given we know how this story ends, cut the film when Lincoln says goodbye to his friends to head to the Ford Theatre. Either way, there was something weak and rushed about the last 15 minutes.
*The strained, damaged quality of the Lincoln marriage doesn't get much attention, but there is one memorable scene where Lincoln attempts to console his distraught wife, before losing his temper with her melancholic histrionics—
"I couldn't tolerate you grieving so for Willie because I couldn't permit it in myself, though I wanted to, Mary. I wanted to crawl under the earth, into the vault with his coffin. I still do. Every day I do. Don't speak to me about grief." Mary Todd was a damaged and damaging person, but we only get a small sense of this. Much could be made of their marriage.
*It was a joy to see Lincoln brought alive by one of the finest actors of his generation. To hear, rather than read, Lincoln's words.
*Finally, I wish Gore Vidal was still around to share his thoughts on the film, though something tells me the cantankerous chap may have refused to watch it if he were.
Your thoughts?
There's a lot there and I agree with your thoughts on Spielberg, though I was expecting it to be far worse so it didn't seem as bad. Still, there's nothing particularly subtle about his style as you pointed out regarding his tendency to signpost everything. His stuff always ends up being an anthem for America.
I thought it was good that the film focussed on one bill and the difficulty in getting it through as if it tried to cover too much then it would have lost focus and been nothing at all. You know far more about Lincoln than I so the lack of focus on his marriage etc. didn't really bother me as much. I agree that the last 15 minutes were pretty weak and lacked substance.
Daniel Day Lewis was indeed phenomenal but I also thought Tommy Lee Jones was fantastic in the film and played the role very well, and I always like James Spader.
It was also interesting to me how they portrayed Lincoln. There was some of the reverence I had expected as Lincoln has achieved an almost god-like status in the American mind, but they also showed him (in my eyes) as a pure administrator and politician. His willingness to make deals, the way he used political tactics to get what he wanted (mostly in understanding the importance of delaying events but also how he used the war to have slavery abolished), and his deep understanding of the law to overcome administrative obstacles. In that sense I think he was a true politician rather than the idealist that he is often made out to be, or that Jefferson was.
I also thought it was interesting how the film still showed that for large portions of American society slavery was still accepted as being necessary and entirely reasonable, while also highlighting an important distinction that allowed for Jim Crow to follow the abolition of slavery –i.e. it was equality in the eyes of the law only and not equality amongst human beings (separate but equal). In that sense, it was quite a false abolition of slavery that wasn't the case in Britain, France or other European countries (though you could certainly argue that they just had a far less formal or overt version of segregation).
Further, my frustration remains that the film didn't really show the historical context as well as I'd like. In that, there was some external pressure for the USA to abolish slavery given that most of the Western world had done so well in advance of them doing it. If you didn't have a handle on history you could infer from the film that they were indeed the first as it didn't really discuss that perspective (a perfect opportunity would have been the scene where Lincoln is meeting with his cabinet towards the end and they argue about the timing of ending the war or achieving the abolition of slavery).
Abraham Lincoln wanted to send all the black people to South America to form their own Country. He seemed to hold the view it was black people and not the slavers who were the problem. The only scene in Spielberg's film that came close to offering a full view of Lincoln's attitudes was the one with Elizabeth Keckley, where he patronises her and she replies with a much better grasp of the morality of the situation.
Spielberg offers his usual mix of American movie cliché, sentimentality and brilliant story telling. The vote in the House is just riveting. George Yeaman's cathartic cry of 'I say Aye' is the defining moment; the American people, white and black, are finally freed from slavery.
Gore Vidal's Lincoln offers a more hard headed and complete account. No doubt Vidal would have elegantly savaged the film, as he did with any work that wasn't his.
