Joined by HMNZS Canterbury (L 421), HMAS Betano (L 133) and HMAS Balikpapan (L 126), Cleveland arrived in ni-Vanuatu (as they call themselves) waters equipped with civilian volunteers and military representatives from five of the U.S. service branches, as well as military personnel from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and France.
The joint, multinational team joined the ni-Vanuatu, engaging in medical, dental, engineering and veterinary civic action programs (MEDCAP, DENCAP, ENCAP, and VETCAP). They also participated in subject matter expert exchanges (SMEEs), covering topics like nursing, veterinary medicine, and even firefighting.
"It has been a great opportunity to work with the people of Vanuatu," said Capt. Jesse Wilson, Pacific Partnership 2011 mission commander and Commander, Destroyer Squadron 23. "I am honored that we had the opportunity to renew and enhance our ties with a long time supporter of the United States, and I am humbled to command the Navy's first mission here since World War II and the first ever Pacific Partnership mission to Vanuatu."
Wilson initiated another first on Pacific Partnership's mission in Vanuatu. He is the first mission commander to shift his pennant and command to a New Zealand vessel, amphibious support ship logistics HMNZS Canterbury (L 421)
The New Zealand Defence Force also brought a surgical team to work with the ni-Vanuatu.
While the mission objectives in an odd-numbered year don't include surgery, the NZDF's surgical team, along with each of the partner nations' and ni-Vanuatu medical professionals proved to be instrumental in saving the life of an injured tourist.
"The entire team, from medics to doctors, saved this patient's life," said Cmdr. Steven Gabele, the medical contingent's officer in charge. "They absolutely proved the value of interoperability. New Zealand surgeons stabilized the patient in a ni-Vanuatu hospital, an American doctor kept the patient stable while flying to the hospital in a French New Caledonian helicopter off of Canterbury with an Australian general practitioner coordinating all of the resources."
Pacific Partnership also began work on the ENCAP part of the mission weeks before Cleveland arrived.
"The Seabees worked extremely well with the Vanuatu Mobile Force and the local apprentices," said Lt. Wesley Howard, officer in charge of the advance echelon Construction Battalion 133 detachment. "With all of us working together, we were able to build water catchments, classrooms, and new bathrooms for three of the schools here on Santo. We were doing it for the kids."
Humanitarian aid/disaster relief environments may very well bring out the best in people during the worst situations. Even when they work long hours healing the sick and injured, rebuilding what has become broken, and giving pets and livestock the care they need, the men and women of Pacific Partnership still go out to do a little more.
"The community service projects were very rewarding here in Vanuatu," said Lt. Philip Ridley, Pacific Partnership 2011 chaplain. "We had an opportunity to provide hand-pedaled bicycles to children at a special needs school, share music and food, and engage with the people in a very personal way. I think all of our lives have changed."
In 10 days, the multinational and multi-service Pacific Partnership team engaged local leaders, treated 6,068 medical patients, including 25 surgeries by the NZDF surgical team, 676 dental patients, cared for 118 animals, completed four engineering projects, including school buildings, bathrooms and a water catchment system, and engaged in 13 community service projects.
The Pacific Partnership team participated in 23 different SMEEs, including preventive medicine, veterinary medicine, primary care medicine, dental care and basic damage control. More than 1,600 host nationals came to these events where they and representatives from the partner nations spent over 3,100 contact hours together, trading methods and ideas.
Pacific Partnership is an annual humanitarian assistance mission sponsored by U.S. Pacific Fleet. This year, Pacific Partnership has completed its mission in Tonga and Vanuatu, and will continue on to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Todist Karma
What is Todist Karma?
All responses
Hello Terry,
Todoist Karma is a point/score system that can motivate you to complete tasks and in general - get productive :)
Each time you complete a task, add a task, use Todoist or even post here in the support section - you gain Karma. When you postpone a task or leave it overdue for more than 3 days, you lose Karma.
It has no impact on the app and any features at all, it's just a fun way of keeping track of your productivity as you can try to get more positive than negative Karma and advance to next Karma levels.
Best regards,
Hi David,
Can we turn off karma? I don't really find it useful or fun.
David Donovan
Hi David,
Yes it can be turned off, under your Account Settings page (top right corner).
Awesome! Thanks!
I think the karma points are cool, I just don't get the productivity bar graphs down below. I know they're trying to tell me something and I desperately want to know what it is!
If you're referring to the horizontal bars right below the Karma graph - these represent the colors of the projects in which you've completed tasks at the given timeframe. So if you've completed 2 tasks, one from a yellow project, one from a red project - the bar will be split in half (yellow/red).
Best regards,
Perhaps I've missed it, but what are the intervals to update karma? It seems very inconsistent
It is random actually, it can change from time to time.
Hi there
IMHO to postpone a task should not give negative karma!
I often have task, where I wait for input from other people. In this cases, the due date is just to give me a reminder, that I may do a follow-up to get the info I need.
In such cases, I make a note in the task and postpone it to next week (+ 6 days). Sometimes, I just postpone it to give the third party an additional day or two. :-)
I get negativ karma for postponing, but actually I worked on the task? Not motivating, from my point of view.
Paddy :-/
Hi Paddy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! There are certainly exceptions and we'll look into making the Karma system more intelligent in the future. :-)
Just for your information: although I have postponed a task several times I did not get a negativ karma yet. So, maybe the system is already more intelligent then I thought.

Epic Rap Battle Features Snoop Dogg as Moses Vs. Santa Claus [VIDEO]
I'm a big fan of the Epic Rap Battles. They're fun rap battles that feature two celebrities rap battling each other. Romney vs. Obama, Darth Vader vs. Hitler – stuff like that. These usually features actors imitating celebrities but when Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion) imitates Moses, you know you're in for a treat.
So, who won?

One day not long ago, while standing on the corner of a busy street in Philadelphia,
talking to a friend, along came an old man. He was a decrepit old man with swollen,
tearful eyes, and his unshaven face was drawn and withered. His lips were blue with
unclean sores. His toes were pushing through his worn-out shoes. His clothes were torn to
rags. He had seen better days. I thought, how dreadfully poverty has gnawed at you. I was
stunned for the moment. With a look of sadness, and with a dirty bloated hand thrust
forward, he pleaded for a few pennies. He got a few more pennies; I got a little more
As I pondered over the circumstances which had caused the deplorable condition of this
man, and had left him a wreck in its ruins, I began to think: It might have been you!

Full Seismic Waveform Modelling and Inversion
Springer Verlag, 2010
Wolfgang Sproessig and Andreas Fichtner
Eagle Publishing, 2005
I am Assistant Professor for Computational Seismology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. In January 2010 I received my PhD from the University of Munich for my work on Full Seismic Waveform Inversion for Structural and Source Parameters. During my postdoc at Utrecht University , I worked on the development of resolution analysis and multi-scale methods for seismic waveform inversion.
My principal research interests include the development and application of methods for full seismic waveform inversion, resolution analysis in tomography, earthquake source inversion, as well as the study of novel seismic observables such as rotations and strain. For my work I received the Keiiti Aki Award 2011 .
Through the co-supervision of several students I am involved in the Sample Project of the German Research Foundation and in the European Initial Training Network QUEST.
Selection of recent work :
The Iceland-Jan Mayen plume system and its impact on mantle dynamics: We present a high-resolution shear wave velocity model of the North Atlantic region, revealing structural features in unprecedented detail down to a depth of 1300 km.Highlights of the model in the upper mantle include a well-resolved Mid-Atlantic Ridge and two distinguishable strong low-velocity regions beneath Iceland and beneath the Kolbeinsey Ridge west of Jan Mayen. A sublithospheric low-velocity layer is imaged beneath much of the oceanic lithosphere, consistent with the long-wavelength bathymetric high of the North Atlantic. The low-velocity layer extends locally beneath the continental lithosphere of the southern Scandinavian Mountains, the Danish Basin, part of the British Isles and eastern Greenland. All these regions experienced post-rift uplift in Neogene times, for which the underlying mechanism is not well understood. The spatial correlation between the low-velocity layer and uplifted regions suggests dynamic support by low-density astenosphere originating from the Iceland and Jan Mayen hotspots. Our model further suggests a lower-mantle source for the Iceland and Jan Mayen hotspots. Two distinguishable low-velocity conduits are imaged, connecting the upper-mantle anomalies beneath Iceland and Jan Mayen into the lower mantle. Both conduits are tilted to the South-East, reflecting the westward motion of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. read more
Resolution analysis in full waveform inversion: We propose a new method for the quantitative resolution analysis in full seismic waveform inversion that overcomes the limitations of classical synthetic inversions while being computationally more efficient and applicable to any misfit measure.This allows us to infer 3-D distributions of direction-dependent resolution lengths and the image distortion introduced by the tomographic method. Our method allows for problem-dependent variations of the theme and for adaptations to exploration scenarios and other wave-equation-based tomography techniques that employ, for instance, georadar or microwave data. read more
Full waveform tomography for radially anisotropic structure: New insights into present and past states of the Australasian upper mantle : We combine spectral-element simulations and adjoint techniques in a non-linear full seismic waveform tomography for the radially anisotropic structure of the Australasian upper mantle. Our method allows us to explain 30 s waveforms in detail, and it yields tomographic images with locally 2 degree lateral resolution. Our model allows us to draw inferences concerning the past and present states of the Australian upper mantle and the formation of seismic anisotropy. read more

Maybe your copyrighted work has gotten into the wrong hands. Or maybe you just don't want to screen your phone calls anymore. Good news - you don't have to take it forever. Formally telling someone to stop certain behavior is sometimes all that's needed. You can regain some peace. Being harassed is stressful, potentially dangerous, and illegal. So is someone stealing your ideas or work. Getting a Cease and Desist Letter can help you end things on your terms.
Much like an affidavit or a general business contract, a Cease and Desist Letter can be used for many different reasons. Often times, simply writing a letter will get the offending party to stop, allowing you both to avoid the time and hassle of a court case, which, even if you're in the right, is something you'd do best to avoid.
Here are the four most common triggers for writing a Cease and Desist Letter.
Just because harassment can take many forms, doesn't mean you have to take it. Let whoever's harassing you know you won't stand for it by sending them a Cease and Desist Letter. In it, you'll want to note the date the harassment started and a full description of the offending party's actions. Then, you'll want to tell them the date you expect to hear back from them before you take the next step.
Whether you're a writer whose work has been appropriated without her approval or a business whose copyrights are being used without your consent, a Cease and Desist Letter is a great first step in getting back what's yours. Often times, just receiving a professional, succinct Cease and Desist is enough to get the offending party to stop using your copyrighted material and, even if it isn't, you'll have proof that you tried before resorting to the legal system. You'll want to include details about the copyrighted work in question, proof that you hold the copyright, and the instances where that intellectual property is being infringed upon. You can also include any documentation you think helps make your case for you.
Though quite similar to copyright infringement, there are a few key differences when dealing with trademark infringement. For starters, trademarks are more easily enforceable. For example, a written work is de facto copyrighted when written, while a trademark must be applied for. Describe the work that's being infringed upon (such as a logo or design) as best you can and the date you noticed that trademark was being unfairly used. Include any documentation you have and describe to the offending party what steps you expect them to take to rectify the infringement.
Debt collectors are nothing if not tenacious. If you're constantly checking your caller ID or you fear even opening your mailbox, you might be dealing with a collections agency who is behaving badly. In your Cease and Desist Letter, note the date they started contacting you and the reasons you feel it's burdensome and counterproductive. Include details about the debt itself (such as the original amount of the debt and the account number, if applicable) and include any sort of documentation that might help your cause.
A Cease and Desist Letter can be triggered by many different events. Depending on your situation, you may need:
People who need a Cease and Desist Letter sometimes find themselves in need of an attorney. If you have any questions about what's right for you, we can connect you with a lawyer for quick answers or a document review.

MMWR Introduction
According to the article, "Use of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Among Students Aged 13–15 Years—Worldwide, 1999–2005," released in the May 27, 2005, issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, nearly 2 in 10 students aged 13–15 years reported currently using cigarettes and/or some other form of tobacco with no significant difference between cigarette smoking (8.9%) and use of other tobacco products (11.2%). The findings also indicate that there was no significant difference in cigarette smoking by gender. Compared to adult data, which indicate that males have higher rates of smoking than females, the similarity of use between boys and girls is a cause for concern.
