There was much hype and hoopla at the recent New Zealand Petroleum Conference about the extent of New Zealand's potential oil and gas reserves. Chris Uruski, a GNS scientist told Chris Laidlaw on Radio NZ's Sunday that we potentially have 20 billion barrels of oil equivalent in New Zealand's offshore exclusive economic zone. He did however put something of a dampener on the excitement by stating "we haven't really got anything sorted on a scientific basis" as to the extent of our oil reserves.
20 billion barrels sounds like one hell of a lot of oil -- but let's put that in perspective. The world currently uses around 84 million barrels of oil per day. Adding 1 billion barrels to global oil resources would delay the peaking of global oil production by just 4.7 days, according to a comprehensive 200 page study on global oil depletion by the United Kingdom Energy Research Council. Lets put aside the huge environmental issues. Lets ignore the difficulties of attracting investment in NZ oil exploration in the midst of a global financial crisis - (Exxon Mobil have just withdrawn from the Great South Basin). Lets be charitable and imagine that more oil is discovered…
Even if New Zealand was to find 20 billion barrels offshore, this would delay the onset of a global peak in oil production by only 94 days -- or just three months.
So what are the perceived benefits of finding more oil off New Zealand's coast? Dr. Peter Crabtree of the Ministry of Economic Development in his address to the Petroleum Conference outlined just three benefits -- high wage jobs, profit for New Zealand shareholders and government royalty payments. You will note that increased oil supply security for New Zealand, and insulating New Zealand from higher oil prices, were not included as perceived benefits of finding more oil in New Zealand.
The harsh reality is that finding more oil off New Zealand's coast will not make us immune from the coming oil shocks, oil shortages, higher prices and profound and devastating effects on our economy, which a growing consensus of opinion says will be hitting us in less than five years.

A tale of gratitude, hard truths and life lessons.
On Friday August 26th, I published a blog post detailing my experience working with GrabGas.
Within minutes of posting, the first comments came rolling in. Over the course of the next few hours, the post's engagement skyrocketed and shot through the roof. It was accumulating likes, shares and comments at an unprecedented rate.
The post went viral, spreading like wildfire across the startup community and beyond. Messages, calls and notifications were coming in non-stop from all channels (FB, WhatsApp). There was so much going on that my Facebook broke and I had to restart the browser. By the end of the day, it had gone far beyond any reasonable expectations.
The days following the post went by in a blur, I was sleeping at 4-6am daily just trying to respond to messages alone.
To date, the post has sparked heavy conversations within and outside the community. It has lead to posts in various blogs[1] and media outlet such as Vulcan Post, Tech in Asia[1][2], e27[1][2][3] and SAYS (the ones that I know of). It also appeared on the Lowyat[1][2] forum, Reddit, Yahoo! News and even on the front page of HackerNews.
People from all over, not just from the local scene, but from the rest of SEA (Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, etc) all the way up to Europe and US had found out about it.
A Grateful Surprise!
What happened felt like it could pass as a scene in a movie.
It was lunchtime when I pushed that button. In my mind, my plan was to post it, go for lunch and hit the gym, never wanting to think about it ever again.
As I read through my own blog, which takes me, the writer, 30-40 mins (I'm a slow reader), I was thinking:
"Who on earth is going to spend 30 mins of their precious time reading some 'he says she says' drama?"
"Startup people are already so busy, nobody is going to take the time to read such a long ass story.".
I only expected a couple of responses of "I feel you man." and that's it.
As I've since found out, I was mistaken. People do care about this sort of thing, and they care deeply about it too.
The story resonated with many people. I guess it's because it struck a chord in them - they could relate to and sympathise with my plight. Nobody likes being lied to, and nobody likes liars.
Since then, people from all walks of life, both old and new faces, near and far, from the startup community and beyond have reached out to offer their support, advice, stories of their own similar experiences and also opportunities for the future.
I am surprised, I truly am, but more importantly, I am grateful.
I am grateful to be proven wrong, to be shown that the community cares. So here is my unwavering salute to you:
To those of you that have taken the time to read my blog. Thank you.
To those of you that have gone out of your way to make the effort to reach out to me. Thank you.
To those of you that have given me encouragements, offered your advice, shared your stories and extended future opportunities. Thank you.
I appreciate it all very very much. It's difficult for me to show it to you, but know that it means a great deal to me. Thank you! :D
It will be awhile before I can respond to all of you but be rest assured that I am trying my best to respond to each and every one of you.
The War is (long) Over
To some, it was a cautionary tale, to others it was an eye opener, a rare behind the scene glimpse of a rose tinted startup, but to me, it was a symbol of closure.
To make it extra clear, negotiations between myself and GrabGas ended on 5th August 2016 and there are no ongoing discussions. I am not looking for anything from GrabGas or Digi. The boat has left, the milk is spilled, and the past cannot be undone.
This blog post is late. It took me awhile to calm down after the events, and it took me even longer to write the post.
As I was writing it, the only thing that was going on in my mind was "Aiya...faster type la Julian. I can't tahan liao, it's so heavy. I just want to get it all out, pen it all down and send it off, be done with it once and for all.".
If I were to describe the picture I had in my mind, writing the blog, putting "ink" to "paper" is like unloading all the burden, stress and pressure in my chest from this whole fiasco into a box and wrapping it up nicely. Pushing the "post" button is then akin to me putting this box into a boat on the river and kicking it off, letting it drift off into the horizon, never to be seen ever again. Something like what you'd see in the movies.
Publishing the post was mean't to mark the end of my chapter with GrabGas, the full stop (.) in the story. It was my way of saying to myself, "It's done. It's over. Stop thinking about it already...Farewell! Now it's time to move on Julian. Let's go. Let's go.".
Basically, the blog post is just me writing about an experience I had that in the past that has already ended. Writing was my outlet. I was just recounting it with the purpose of sharing my lessons and moving on. The post taking off like a rocket was not intentional, an unexpected twist of events.
That said, even though it was unintentional, I would like to apologise to all parties who has suffered damage from the post.
Hard Truths
I understand that many feel strongly about what has transpired and are keen to see some form of "justice", but there is a hard truth that we must not forget, and that is:
A Startup is a Business.
It is a brutal place where courtesy and fairness is a luxury, a place where the idiom "Survival of the fittest" rules supreme. Unless covered by the trenches of law, everything else are just guidelines ("common sense", community rules, best practices, etc).
While their conduct may be called into question, as far as business is concerned for what happened between us, there is no "justice" to be had. The reality is that I presented my offer to GrabGas and they presented their offer to me. Neither party accepted each others offer, and so that is it. Done. End of story. However unpleasant as that may be, it doesn't care if its fair or unfair, that is just the stark reality of doing business.
That being said, however distasteful it may be, I have to admit that in this case, I was beaten in business. I was naive - I let my guard down, came unprepared and clung onto wishful thinking. At this point, blaming anyone else but myself would just be the stupidest and most unprofessional thing that I could do.
As a HackerNews commenter aptly puts it, "Its not what you deserve in business, its what you negotiate.".
Fortunately, I am blessed to have good people in my life that has provided cushions during the fall and helped me get back up after.
It's easy to let our emotions take over and our imaginations go on a negative shopping spree, but we mustn't let that happen. Don't make this personal. We are better than that. We should strive to be professional and try our best to keep things in perspective (Business!).
Life and business is inherently unfair, but that doesn't mean we ourselves shouldn't try to be fair and courteous to others. It just means that we should never let our guard down and always be prepared, be it friend or foe.
It's Time
It seems that my first boat got stuck onto some rocks and didn't exactly drift off into the horizon. I hope that with this additional push, it will finally go on its way.
It's time I moved on to get the closure I was looking for.
To my fellow comrades, once again, Thank You all for the support and kindness that you've shown me.
I may not be able to remember all your names and all your faces, but know that I will forever remember this day, the day you all stood with me. From the bottom of my heart, I Thank You for being there! :D
Onwards to greater things!
Lessons from the Community
This is still work in progress. I will append new learnings here as I go through the mountainous amounts of comments.
From HackerNews:
- "Its not what you deserve in business, its what you negotiate."
- "What is not written, does not exist."
From FB - Some word for word, some synthesised.
"When you see a startup by 3-4 "bros" and all of them have overlapping skill and none of it is tech, it's a super huge red flag." - One of my favourite ones. Lol.
Dont sell yourself short. Know your worth.
"One does not join a startup without black & white, especially working without salary."
"It seems like a case of "misunderstanding/misleading", as the tech guy thought he is co-founder, while the founders treat him as early employee (with vested equity). This could be avoided with proper black & white." - Mismatch of expectations! Make effort to ensure everyone is on the same page!
"As a tech guy, I would shy away from co-founders who thought sales/marketing is more superior while tech is a replacable tool."
"Startup require high level of trust to work (even with black & white), avoid doing it with people you barely know."
"We really don't have a choice and just got to be thick skinned and ask the tough questions at the start & negotiate. A bullet could have been dodged."
"Negotiations should always be done before the work and not after, so we don't lose leverage."
"Contracts are essential. At the end of the day, when things turn sour, all we can look forward to is the contract that we have. On a side note, always read through contracts thoroughly before signing & never just leave it to lawyers to protect your interests. If you hire a small firm to draw up your contract, chances are that they aren't really doing the best job & may not be flagging up a lot of things. Some may even be drafting sloppy terms. Onus is always on us to read, understand, check & ask the lawyer."
"He mentioned "one would have thought I was being invited to join them as equals". This was an assumption. The lesson here is try not to assume."
"It was mentioned that after the work was done, all their offers were too bad to accept. Seems to me a case of expectation not being met. This could have been avoided by both parties if both were upfront about what each was expecting from the other." - Again, mismatch of expectations. Ensure on same page!
"Never mix friendship and business. I've learn the very hard way myself"
"The most important lesson of all, let go and let grow =) Just move on….it's better for both parties that way."
For those of you trying to reach me, you can contact me at email@example.com. It might take awhile for me to respond

Indonesian schools are very different from schools in America. Adjusting to the Indonesian education system has been, perhaps, my greatest challenge so far. My American expectations of professionalism in schools, how teachers should interact with their students, student conduct, and school administration have not meshed seamlessly with the Indonesian reality.
Month: July 2016
Pre-departure anxiety
For better or worse, I have never been an anxious person. I rarely stress about anything. From tests, to doctor's appointments, to sporting events I can't understand what makes people worry or fret. Occasionally, this habit to ignore the gravity of upcoming events, which might require preparation, works against me.
Sights, scents, and sounds of running in a desa
I really like running. So much so that a couple years ago I managed to cause both the tibia and fibula in my left leg to develop hairline fractures because I was running too much—about thirty-five miles a week. Ever since then I have wanted to get back to that level of performance but haven't quite been able to manage it. Still, even though I'm not able to run the distances I was once capable of, I think of myself as a "runner" before many other things.

Why I joined the Peace Corps
I think most Peace Corps volunteers who maintain a weblog eventually write a post explaining why they decided to serve. Putting into words what motivated me to leave everything behind in the United States and live in Indonesia for two years is difficult. I can barely explain to myself why I wanted to join the Peace Corps; so explaining "why" to others is especially difficult—nearly impossible in Indonesian. I may not be able to say exactly why I came to Indonesia but I can say why I didn't come to Indonesia: I didn't come here to 'help.'
"What do Indonesians eat?" This is a question I oft fielded after disclosing that I had accepted a Peace Corps assignment, and would be living in Indonesia for two years. Well, the short answer: rice. Indonesians eat rice. Lots and lots of rice.
The Sunday after Idul Fitri began like any other day from the past month. I woke up around five, mandied, had breakfast, and continued to read my book on the history of the United States Postal Service (it's fascinating). At some point midmorning my host family niece (I think, the family relations are still uncertain to me) asked me something. What she asked specifically, I do not know. But she used the words ambil, ikan, and kolam. Something about taking a fish, but I couldn't understand whether they were asking if I had taken a fish, if I would take a fish, if they should take a fish, or some other equally odd question. Eventually, and after some helpful charades, I remembered kolam means pond. They were inviting me to a pond with them to go fishing.
Idul Fitri
Idul Fitri is the Indonesian name for the Islamic holiday: Eid. Indonesians also frequently refer to Eid as Lebaran. Eid falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar. Shawwal is the month immediately following Ramadan. This holiday is celebrated throughout the Muslim world. Eid festivities and traditions vary by region, but they typically consist of lots of food, praying, reading the Quran, and gatherings of family.

We laid my mother to rest today. I was up at 6 am this morning to start the preparations. I went to the cemetery, first thing, to lay the flowers and get it ready for our service. The sun was up, dew was still on the freshly mowed grass and a cool breeze blew. It was so very peaceful.
A verse came to my mind in the drive over. Romans 8:28. There have been many occasions where He has brought that verse to remembrance, mostly on occasions filled with anxiousness and uncertainty so I wondered how He would apply it today.
All things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
The headstone was placed on Friday. When I first saw it I was so emotional I did not realize until later that her last name was spelled wrong. Of course, they would replace it but not overnight. So I was inspired to look for a florist that sold headstone flower sprays. The very first one I called had just made two of them recently. I rushed over to pick one out and it could not have been more perfect. It was so beautiful and it hid the misspelling. Again I heard, "It will all work out."
A short time later I drove to the park to meet everyone who would help set up for our BBQ after the service. I was thinking of how many times I have planned events months in advance. I would get to that day and my mind would be running through all the details, over and over, how I would manage and execute the plans made months or weeks before. This time it was different. There were plans but not the kind that would have to be orchestrated to the tee because a still small voice was saying, "It will all work out." Or maybe it was my mom's voice because she was always saying to me, "It will all work out."
Gary, the man doing the service messaged asking if there was an agenda. I replied, "I am too emotional this morning to say so I think we should just let the Holy Spirit do His work." And again the voice, "It will all work out."
I had wanted to ask our cousin, Jeff, to sing but not sure he would be up for it due to some health issues. So I did not ask. But as soon as I saw him he told me he would sing a song for mom today! No words, God just working it out.
Special friends made the trip down to Desloge to celebrate my mother's life with our family. It was her longtime friend and her family Julia, Jackie and Quinne, three generations loving on my mom and me and my family. Each of us recalling wonderful sweet and sometimes very funny stories of back in the day.
Debbie, my sister Dannielle's best friend from high school came. She kind of got lost and was heartbroken to have missed the service at the cemetery but made it to the park. She showed up and it made the day even sweeter.
And then there is my sweet friend from my high school days, Penny. She came, even though she had just lost two very precious family members to cancer within a week apart this past month. She came for me! And that filled my heart to full! There were a few others that could not make it due to illness and life issues but sent their love and prayers for us today. And those I hold dear as well! I believe those prayers contributed to all the beautiful ways God showed His hand in our celebration.
We met for the procession. We placed mom on the back of a dear friend's bike for her last ride to her final resting place. We lined up and began the drive. The US flag on one of the bikes furling in the breeze as we went. The oncoming cars pulled over out of respect. One lady, who was not a part of the procession, pulled up alongside when we got onto the highway and put her flashers on so no one would pass us. The people in the cars following the bikes stretched for a half a mile behind. Looking in my rearview mirror, my heart swelled.
The sun was straight up overhead as we arrived at the cemetery. Friends and family gathered around to hear the message of Christ, to remember a woman who touched their lives in one way or another. We were there to honor the kind of person who said what she thought, cared about others with an honest heart and delivered her wisdom with a dry humor. The words spoke of her to me by others since her passing, "There was no better woman, I loved her."
She loved bright colors, flowers and being among friends and family. I know she would have loved it all. I can say for certain her spirit was with us. I love what Gary said, she was not an angel sent to look out for us, to guard us. For angels were created to work for the Lord and each has a duty to do His bidding. She was not working today or any day. She is at rest in the presence to the Lord. Shouting hallelujah and reunited with long-lost loved ones in Christ, whose headstones were representing, surrounding hers. Perhaps she was looking down on us and smiling at the love and honor showed her this day, at least I would like to think so.
We had the privilege of listening to a song sung by one of her favorite singers and mine, our cousin, Jeff. He has been there for our family through many wonderful events and sad occasions. He sang one of my mom's favorites, The Lighthouse. At that moment, I was taken back to 1984, a moment when I had first heard it sitting beside my mother, in church, where Christ changed our lives.
And I thank God for the lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
Jesus is the lighthouse,
And from the rocks of sin,
He has shown a light around me,
That I might clearly see,
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
Tell me where would this ship be.
And for that memory and this day I was thanking Jesus for working it all out for good.
My sister, Amanda, and I left her a rose in honor of her but it also honored our sister Dannielle, who our mother was with today. I believe if my sister had been here she would have wanted to sing The Rose. She loved that song and loved singing it. She may have been singing it today for our mom, up in heaven, just maybe.
We ended the day with a lighted lantern. A good friend of hers surprised us with the lantern for Jo Jo. It was a sweet and special moment for all of her friends for these past few years. And they wanted to honor her with a prayer sent up to heaven.
Last but not least, which may seem insignificant to others, but it is a detail that no one else would know about but me and God. When we arrived at the park that morning to set up the pavilion, over to the right side was a US flag on a pole. It was up pretty high up and could not be reached. It was wrapped around the pole it was attached to. I had this uncanny desire to unwrap it and, to see it hanging correctly and flying in the breeze. It was not until we were taking everything down and packing up that I noticed it was completely unwrapped and waving lightly. No small detail ever escapes God and He says in His word,
Psalm 37:4, 'If we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us the desires of our heart.'
I didn't fret over the wrapped flag I thought to myself, it is what it is.
Before I left that place His breeze unwrapped the fabric of the red, white and blue. He blew it gently with his breath. He worked it all out. For good.
Rest in Peace, Mom. Thank you for my life. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for showing me how to plan a good party! LOL
SIDE NOTE: she loved to text me at wee hours of the morning, 5 am sometimes, and one time her phone was broke and she could only type in capital letters. And when I type LOL I always think of her text
I want to say thank you to Deborah Soucoucie, Dennis Sweet, Gary Leggans, Mel Brinkley, and Jeff Parsons for having a part in making this memorial happen.

We have been to Warrnambool for a week. So i decided on those quiet nights I would make some cards. I borrowed Susan's (a fantastic new demo's) colour coach and decided to make all my cards with the colour combos they suggested.
So here is what I created. I had very limited stuff with me so it made me think about all those years ago when all I had was colours and a mat pack. lol
This first one is pear pizazz, blushing bride and expresso.
Next is poppy parade, daffodile delight and baja breeze.
Third up we have rich razzleberry, old olive and pumpkin pie.
and last but not least is concord crush, pear pizazz and peach parfait. Very simple cards but I'm happy with the results.

I didn't think it would ever happen but my daughter came with me. I loved her being there. We stayed at the Hilton on the NEC grounds. We will not be doing that again.... But it was amusing having a Transformer conference staying at the same time.
You cannot go to a quilt show without adding to your stash.
This was my haul from Day 1. Sorry about the blur, taken with my phone. Most of these were from Petra Prins stand.
Then just when I was all spent up, I saw these. They are quite large and printed on very heavy cotton.

Boohoo Review
The founders of Boohoo believed that shoppers deserved the right to shop for the hottest fashions and accessories without spending an arm and a leg. Though the site initially launched in the United Kingdom, there are now separate sites open to shoppers in the United States and other countries. Stylists working for the company look for trends from around the world and source products regularly. Those stylists also write for the Boohoo blog, which gives you insider information about big cities and hot looks.
Since launching, Boohoo devoted itself to launching some of its own brands designed for those who wear unique sizes and those who want to save money. The Boohoo Basics line includes simple tees and other items that any wardrobe will need for as low as $6, and the Boohoo Plus line features clothing for women up to a size 20. A Boohoo Nights line has everything you need to look your best when heading out for a night on the town with friends, and a Boohoo Blue line includes denim pants, skirts and shirts.
Get the Look is a section of the site dedicated to helping you rock some of the trends you see online or in fashion magazines. You might learn how you can wear crochet clothing without looking like your grandma or how you can wear white to create a simple yet unique look. While the men's section of the site doesn't include the same trends, it does feature a few pages that teach men how they can wear hot looks like those sported by Brad Pitt, Justin Beiber and other celebrities.
The website also posts videos as a way to help you navigate through the world of hot trends. When you watch the WeAreStylists 80s Glam video, you'll see some suggestions from professional stylists on how to wear 80s style fashions without looking like you're running around town in your mom's clothing.
Shopping the Boohoo site is easy because you can get to every section of the site from the home page. Hover over the women's section to shop for clothing like party, dresses, swimsuits and knitwear.

In June of 1945, I had just graduated from Topaz High School in the third graduating high school class of that Utah internment center. I went on to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Perhaps because I didn't have to make a major effort to search for a college or seek and apply for scholarship aid, I never realized the extent of the commitment put forth by the volunteer staff at the American Friends Service Committee headquarters in Philadelphia. I recently learned that these dedicated people, along with heads of colleges, universities, and the YMCAs and YWCAs, did much more in forming the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in 1942 than just getting the Nisei students to college.
In broad terms, the Council raised funds from national foundations, organizations, and institutions; identified, contacted and organized universities and colleges who would accept evacuee students; and provided these colleges with funds for scholarships to the evacuee students. They networked and identified potential college students in each of the camps, and they matched students with appropriate schools. They secured proof of community acceptance once the colleges accepted the Nisei students. They even made all the arrangements to clear each one of us with the FBI so that we could leave the camps (I didn't know that). I also learned of the desperate emergency Council meetings in New York City to raise additional foundation funds so that the last of the class of 1945 could have some financial aid.
Over 3,500 Nisei received aid, papers, or information directly from the colleges we were to attend. Perhaps if you are Nisei and like me, you assumed it was the schools that were the catalyst in relocating the students. But it was the NJASRC that moved the mountains. I now know why it wasn't by accident that five evacuee students entered Bates College in that far off northeastern corner of New England.
I am glad that today, the Nisei Student Relocation Commemorative Fund (NSRCF) has been formed to keep alive that spirit of helping. I am glad that my teachers at Topaz High School, who helped me maintain my belief in the redemptive nature of our American society, can now be honored by dedicating funds in their names. Just as I continue to honor my parents, in that amazing and indomitable generation of Issei who made it all possible, through a NSRCF Named Scholarship.
There are many deserving organizations and causes calling upon each of us for monetary contributions. In my view, among the most compelling is the NSRCF. Let me briefly share my reasons for this view.
As you know, during the dark period of 1942, when Nisei and their Issei parents residing in the Pacific Coast states were uprooted and confined in barbed-wire camps, concerned fellow Americans — most notably the Quaker organization, the American Friends Service Committee —established the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council, which ultimately made it possible for an estimated 4,000 Nisei inmates to be released from these camps to enroll in colleges throughout the United States (outside the Pacific Coast states), often arranging for scholarships to sustain continued enrollment. I was among those to benefit from this program.
As a concrete expression of gratitude, some 18 years ago, a small, dedicated group of Nisei up in New England formed the NSRCF to provide financial scholarships for needy college students within the Southeast Asian refugee communities in the United States. Beyond our cultural sense of obligation or indebtedness (known as "giri"), the NSRC Fund program has unique aspects which appeal to me: it operates on a bare bones budget with its "office" in a private home; its activities are oriented toward service, not toward inflating itself; and it unselfishly looks beyond its own ethnic community and seeks to help other Asian groups who otherwise may be overlooked. This reflects the true spirit of giving. I hope you will agree with me and join with me by participating in this most worthy program.
Recently, I revisited Topaz, Utah. Now, it is a registered historic site, marked by a monument of stone and concrete, but very little remains other than concrete foundation slabs, rubble, and the network of streets surrounded by miles of flat desert covered with scrub brush. It was there that I graduated from Topaz High School in June 1943. Having grown up in Berkeley, I had my heart set on going to the University of California, Berkeley after graduation from high school. But in my junior year I found myself in a makeshift classroom in Topaz wondering what the future held. A dedicated group of teachers did their very best to provide an education, despite the lack of classroom furniture and equipment, books, and supplies. They even explored with me the possibilities of leaving camp for college but that seemed a far off dream. This dream became a reality, however, when I received notification in August of 1943 that I had been accepted by Vassar College with a scholarship and had been cleared to leave camp early in September. It was to the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council (NJASRC) that I was indebted for this amazing unexpected good fortune.
In the Spring of 1942, concerned citizens and organizations of diverse religions and political persuasions had mobilized and worked together to try to do something to help relocate Nisei college students interned in camps. They moved quickly and did the seemingly impossible, cutting through the red tape, and by May 29, 1942, the NJASRC was in place. The first student was relocated on July 4, 1942 and, when the office closed on June 30, 1946, the records of close to 4000 students processed were on file. The NJASRC took care of all clearances and documents necessary to enable students to leave camp. They obtained assurances of their welcome from both the communities and colleges involved, arranged all financial matters directly with the colleges/ universities, raised money, and provided colleges with the funds for scholarships to give to the evacuee students.
The success of this student relocation program helped pave the way for all evacuee families to relocate out of the camps. It is difficult to assess the impact of the NJASRC program on the Japanese Americans as we are today. It is immeasurable. But the work they did and their concern for my future has deeply affected the course of my life.
In June of last year, leaders and local supporters of the Nisei Student Relocation Commemorative Fund held the 15th annual awards ceremony in New York City in order to bestow scholarships on a group of 13 highly deserving Southeast Asian refugee graduates from several area high schools. As I sat there watching the radiant faces of the youthful awardees, I found myself being transported back in time to the desert prison camp of Gila and recalling the joy I myself had felt a half century back, on being told that, thanks to the resolute efforts of countless dedicated Caucasians who cared, I had received a scholarship to Mount Holyoke College. In that audience filled with proud family members and friends of those being honored, I sat with my heart full. As I watched some of the now legendary leaders of the NSRCF, I felt immense pride in the caliber of our own extraordinary Nisei, like Nobu Hibino and Lafayette Noda, who, through decades of hard work and sacrifice, have kept alive that legacy of giving and caring, exemplifying — like those wartime benefactors who had once come to our rescue — the finer ideals of mankind.
In 1980, a handful of New England Nisei, including the Hibinos and the Nodas, established the Nisei Student Relocation Commemorative Fund. They did so in a spirit of genuine thankfulness to the dedicated individuals and organizations that had come together in the critical early months of 1942 to form the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council. In particular, the Quakers, whose Philadelphia headquarters became the Student Relocation Council's command center, with their gentle persuasion and often personal influence, played an important part in prying open often reluctant academic doors, and in gaining assurances from area communities that Nisei students would be welcomed. That the Council succeeded yearly in raising sufficient scholarship funds by influencing foundations and by reaching out to organizations and individuals similarly dedicated to the finer ideals of democracy, represented a remarkable achievement, considering the atmosphere of wartime hatred and distrust in which they were operating.
The NSRCF was thus meant to be a repayment of a debt and a permanent tribute to those tireless visionaries who had done much to restore the badly shattered faith of evacuees in their fellow white Americans. Perhaps no single humanitarian project did as much to help pave the way towards a future rich with all the opportunities, once denied to us, that we enjoy today. Our Issei parents, who passed on to us that strong sense of giri, would thus expect us not to forget our repayment of that kindness, even if it is just a token of our deep appreciation.
As others have already done, let us make the Nisei Student Relocation Commemorative Fund a beneficiary in our wills, so that even after we are gone, the Fund will live on, doing good, dispensing hope — reaching out and giving educational opportunities to those displaced and deserving, as was once given to the Nisei.

Faculty Emeritus
Proposed Courses
Program Approvals
Gen Ed Task Force
Chairperson D. Eidam called the meeting to order at 4:10 p.m. in Chryst Hall, Room 210. All departmental senators attended except those from the Counseling and Human Development and Music Departments.
Senate approved the
19 November 1996
meeting minutes without correction.
Chairperson's Report
Chairperson D. Eidam announced changes in today's agenda: Item IX will be the election of an Academic Policies committee chairperson for a term to end in August 1997. Item X will be Program Approvals and Item XI Report of the General Education Review Committee. Eidam distributed a copy of the latest round of administrative course approvals (See
Attachment A
). The provost sent a message to Eidam that the Dean's Council Curricular Meeting scheduled for this Friday is canceled. The December 18 meeting will approve pending courses including those approved today.
Dr. G. Reighard is retiring and Eidam asked that each senator sign a card that Eidam circulated. J. Sheridan called Eidam to say that the General Education Task Force has been added to the agendas of student senate and representative council. Student Senate president P. Leahy requested eight copies of the General Education Task Force report.
Senators may still sign up for Commencement. Call the Provost's Office. Senate Vice Chairperson J. Piperberg will represent senate in place of the chairperson. At the next senate meeting, 4 February 1997, senate will elect its officers. Eidam noted that MU will introduce (imminent and intermediate) plus and minus grades next semester. Someone needs to go through the governance manual to make appropriate changes. He gave senators a table of items that he suggested senate refer to the Academic Policies Committee regarding plus and minus grades (See
Attachment B
). S. Peters/W. Dorman moved to refer the items listed in
Attachment B
to the Academic Policies committee for an agenda item for thier first Spring 1997 meeting. The motion passed.
Administrative Officers
President J. Caputo said that he came to listen to senate's discussion of general education matters. Caputo said that several weeks ago he had an opportunity to look at some MU statistics. He shared one indicator with senators. MU's retention rate, especially its six year graduation rate, is among the highest in the country. The statistic is an important indicator of the success of the institution. MU is not strong in the four or five year graduation rate only in the six year rate.
Caputo said that he often speaks in favor of public higher education. He stresses how important a college education is to the future success of young people. College graduates earn more than non-college graduates do. They express greater satisfaction with their life. They are more likely employable in bad economic times.
Public higher education may be seen as a private rather than a public good. Legislators may feel that the commonwealth citizens do not gain if the commonwealth's students receive public higher education. The legislators may feel that the individual student is getting the benefit and not the taxpayers. Therefore, the individual student should pay more of the cost of public higher education and taxpayers should not share so much of the burden of educating the students. There will be a national campaign to change this rhetoric to emphasize the public good nature of public higher education. Pennsylvania needs a more educated society.
Associate Provost for Academic Administration
Associate Provost for Academic Administration J. Stager said a few words about registration. MU completed registration two weeks ago. Some students may have said that they can not get the courses they want. MU is investigating these problems and has a wait list. Some courses were oversubscribed and others undersbuscribed. There will be some adjustments to schedules after consultations with chairpersons. Tonight there is a special orientation event for new ACE students. This Saturday there is a registration-orientation for all other new students who are starting the Spring semester. MU plans a special registration day for transfer students some time in January. MU will try to give transfer students better advice. The faculty will receive more information about the event.
Stager emphasized that registration is open again starting Monday. Any student can try to drop and add directly at the registrar's office. Please inform your advisees that they can do that. MU is seeking to find additional seats in various places. Students should consult their advisors but do not need their signatures. Stager tells students with problems to see their advisors since advisors know the best way to work the system.
Committee Reports
Undergraduate Course and Program Review Committee
Undergraduate Course and Program Review Committee chairperson, R. Wismer, introduced one new course proposal under the two meeting rule:

Eidam called for nominations for a permanent chairperson of the Academic Policies Committee. The chairperson's term ends in August of 1997. Senator C. Koslofsky nominated senator K. Bookmiller. With no other nominations, senate elected Bookmiller unanimously.
Program Approvals--Options and Program Changes
BUAD Option in International Business
Senator B. Nakhai spoke in favor of the option in international business. It would be another option for Business majors along with management, accounting, finance, and marketing. Senator A. Borger-Reese asked why foreign language courses were only optional. Nakhai said the option was not a major and there was not space for language courses. Senator S. Thompson noted that the terms of the option permit students to take all Business Administration courses even though the option advertises itself as humanistic and cross-cultural. Thompson felt that students should take a course in some other discipline. After considerable discussion, R. Mainzer/A. Borger-Reese moved to refer the International Business Option back to the Undergraduate Course and Program Review Committee. The motion failed.
R. Wismer/R. Mainzer moved to amend the option requirements listed on page 2 to require students to take at least one course outside of the Business Administration Department. After considerable discussion, D. Hutchens/Y. Soong moved to postpone action on the motion to amend until the February 3 senate meeting. The motion to postpone passed.
Senate approved A Program Change for Geography Majors: A proposal to change the completion of the major policy for geography majors. Beginning with courses taken in the Spring 1997 semester, the Geography Department requires that in order to graduate with a BA or BSE degree in geography, each student must have a grade of C or better in each course taken to satisfy major requirements: geography courses and requred related courses. To be implemented Spring Semester 1997.
Governance structure for the Women's Studies Program. Senators noted that the women's studies program can not initiate courses on its own. A department must sponsor a course. A R. Wismer/W. Dorman motion to refer to the Academic Policies Committee interdisciplinary majors and minors policy matters passed. After a long discussion, a C. McLeod/R. Kerper motion to refer the proposed governance structure for the Women's Studies Program back to the Academic Policies Committee failed. A call for division showed a vote of 9 for and 11 against. A motion to postpone action until the next meeting failed. After a long discussion, senate voted to approve the proposed governance structure for the Women's Studies Program.
Report of the General Education Task Force
The General Education Review Committee reported to senate on the report of the General Education Task Force (See
attachment G
). Task Force chairperson J. Sheridan and senate chairperson D. Eidam have agreed that February 19, 1997, is the senate's deadline for submitting revisions or suggested recommendations. Senate has two meetings to discuss the Task Force Report.
General Education Review Committee chairperson C. Stameshkin said the committee has a reflector on Marauder. Since the hour was late, senate had to adjourn. A C. McLeod/A. Borger-Reese motion to continue the discussion at the next meeting with the highest possible priority passed.

I couldn't be more excited about the buzz that Kids Cook with Books has generated. When I met Jodie, an expert on literacy with kids, I knew she would be a perfect compliment – offering some tips for how to talk about books with kids (in a meaningful way!) Hopefully, you'll be able to combine some of her great suggestions below with this month's book club selection: Blueberries for Sal.
Do you struggle with finding time to read and talk about books with your kids? Do you eat at least one meal together a week? If you answered yes, I'm going to show you how to combine talking about books and eating family dinners together. Sounds good, doesn't it?
My name is Jodie Rodriguez and I blog at Growing Book by Book. I'm a busy mom, website owner, and educator. I know how precious our time is with our kids and look for opportunities to squeeze in literacy learning and book talk wherever and whenever I can. I'm excited Michelle invited me to share with the What's Cooking with Kids' readers on the topic of talking about books at the dinner table.
Family dinnertime is a great platform for talking together as a family. We try at least once a month to talk about books with our Family Dinner Book Club. We talk about our reading at other times in the month too. But, I sure do like having our reading ritual of Family Dinner Book Club. Whether you are using one of Michelle's great cooking with book projects, my Family Dinner Book Club, or any book you have enjoyed during the day, you can generate some great book talk with your kids.
Have you ever asked your child, "How was your day today?" And, then get the response, "Fine!" We also get those one-word answers when we talk about books with our kids. Let's look at a few questions or prompts you can ask about ANY book to generate great book conversation at the dinner table.
Think about your own personal reading as an adult. Would you like someone to quiz you each time you finished a book with questions like: What is the setting of the story? Who is the main character? or What did the main character do after (blank)… Boring, right? As adults, we like to talk about our reading. We want to share the moving parts or the parts that were "aha" moments for us. We don't want to just spit back facts from the story.
How To Talk About Books with Kids
Let's look at how we can make this desire to talk about books with kids a reality. The next time you sit down at the dinner table, try some of these prompts for any book you have read together.
Prompt #1
Tell me your favorite part of the book.
Prompt #2
What do you think the author wanted us to take away from this book? or Why do you think the author wrote this book?
Prompt #3
What questions do you have after reading this book?
Watch your dinner conversation transform when you try these prompts. There will be no more one word answers. Instead, you will open up dialogue and transformational conversations about great books. Enjoy and savor!
Jodie Rodriguez has a passion for helping caregivers nurture our youngest readers. As a former National Board Certified early-childhood, elementary teacher and administrator, she has worked with thousands of families and educators providing best literacy practices. She lives near St. Louis, Missouri and now stays home with home with her two young sons (ages 4 and 5). She is the creator/founder of Growing Book by Book.

NPR's Morning Edition had a story this week about how Israel responds to African migrants. "In Israel, No Welcome Mat For African Migrants" was interesting, but I thought it had some flaws. You could begin with the headline, which in addition to stating that Israel is not friendly to African migrants, also seems to suggest that a welcome mat is the standard by which Israel's immigration policy should be judged. The substance for the claim includes the erection of a fence to help combat the illegal immigration into the country:
The $270 million fence will cover 87 miles of Israel's southern border with Egypt. African refugees are smuggled through this area almost daily. They travel thousands of miles and often spend their life savings to try to reach Israel, a country they see as their doorstep to the West.
Israel, however, is far from laying down the welcome mat.
Sigal Rosen is an organizer at the Hotline for Migrant Workers, an advocacy group for refugees, in Tel Aviv. She says that though Israel signed the Geneva Convention relating to refugees, it regularly violates it.
"During the last years, Israel is sending a very clear message to all asylum seekers: Beware. We are not interested in your presence here. We will do whatever is in our power to prevent you from being here, even if the price is violating our legal commitments," Rosen says.
The other ways the country is trying to deal with its immigration issues is by building an "open facility" detention camp to house refugees, punishing any employer who hires African migrants or supports their employment, and repatriating refugees. Last week it paid 150 southern Sudanese with pocket money and a flight home to vote in an upcoming referendum.
It's unclear, from the story, which of these violates the Geneva Convention. I don't even know what an "open facility" detention camp is. Heck, it's unclear in this story why these people are "refugees" and not just people who have come into the country illegally. The story quotes precisely one of the people in the "African migrant" category and it's unclear if or why he's a refugee. It seems he's there illegally.
As the number of Africans seeking refuge in Israel has risen, so has the number of people who walk through the door of Rosen's office, trying to figure out their rights in Israel.
Oscar Olivier is one of those people. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Olivier has lived in Israel for 16 years with no official status.
"I don't even have a residency, and today after 16 years, I don't have a work permit," he says.
Olivier lives in a small apartment outside Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station. The area has been nicknamed "Little Africa" because of the thousands of refugees who have settled there. Olivier's spartan room is undecorated except for photos of his 8-year-old daughter.
It's for her that he has toughed out all these years, working as a janitor and house cleaner in what he calls an unfriendly environment.
"Not only to feel that you are not welcome, but to know that [you] are not welcome. So it ends up not a place for people who are different. It's a place where people should be, look, all the same," he says.
The story suggests that all Israelis are, look the same. Do Ethiopian immigrants look the same as Russian immigrants? Do black-hat Orthodox look the same as secular supermodel Israelis? And using the term "African migrant" to distinguish between people in the country legally and people in the country illegally makes it seem like immigrants -- or even African immigrants -- aren't part of the legal Israeli population.
The opposition to such migration isn't explored well. We're told that the Interior Minister calls the "refugees" an "existential threat" that could challenge the Jewish majority in the country. But that's it. It seems that this issue needs much more explanation for people like me who aren't up-to-speed on every aspect of Jewish law or culture. And without that explanation, this just reads like a hit piece.
And on that note, even if we accept this piece stating that Israel has committed horrendous crimes against humanity, some context about how African migrants are treated by countries that neighbor Israel would be seriously helpful. Here's a Foreign Policy post from Dec. 15 about Egypt permitting African immigrants to be raped, beaten, burned and then extorted by Bedouin human traffickers. Earlier this year, BBC reported on the 16th sub-Saharan immigrant to be shot by Egyptian authorities. Other comparisons might also be helpful. How large is Israel compared to its neighbors? How many people are attempting to gain residency there as opposed to other countries? How capable are all these countries to deal with mass immigration? Why? Most countries struggling with assimilation, integration or immigration flow report other social issues such as management of crime. Is that an issue here?
Blaming Israel and accusing it of human rights crimes is certainly one option for how to respond to the story of African migration. But for a news outlet with the ability to report a tragic and complex story, NPR could do better. With better information, the global community can come up with better solutions to the plight of these migrant communities.

Identified by their brick red tail feathers, red tailed hawks are seen perched in trees along America's roadsides. These birds of prey use their sharp eyes to spot rodents in the clearings where they hunt.
The red-tailed hawk is one of the most common raptors of North America.
It shares a rating with the ferruginous hawk as the largest North American Buteo. Their size is 19 to 25 inches with a weight 2 to 3.5 pounds. They have a wingspan 46 to 58 inches. They can be white, chocolate brown, or black, with brown eyes, and white below, with brown streaks on their lower neck and a broad band of dark streaking across their white belly. And, of course, their tail is brick-red.
The Zoo is tackling today's most complex and pressing human-wildlife conservation issues with conservation partners in more than a dozen countries around the world.
Both the male and female help build the nest for their young. A red-tailed hawk nest is a bulky bowl of sticks lined with softer materials and leafy green branches.
The bird is mainly migratory over the northern part of its range; most winter in the south, but some pairs remain in, or not far from, the nesting range. Pairs cling to the territories year after year. They mate for life or until the death of one of the pair, at which time the survivor takes another mate. They prey mostly upon rodents. Prey is consumed whole, and indigestible fur and bones are regurgitated in the form of a "casting" or "Pellet" about 12-18 hours after ingestion. This is a critical self-cleaning function of the digestive tract, and birds fed incorrectly in captivity soon die. The hawk's eyesight is described as being 10 times as efficient as a human's.
In courtship the pair soars about, screaming. The smaller male may dive swiftly from a great height at the female, whereupon she may turn over in the air and present her talons to his mock combat. Courtship flights come at any time of the year in good weather, but the breeding season is March to May. Male and female share nest-building duty, and have been known to cooperate in breaking a particularly strong branch. Incubation is mostly by the female, although the male relieves her for short periods and brings food to her while she is on the nest.

SDCC 09: HALO Universe Expands in HALO: LEGENDS
First look at Halo Legends, courtesy LA Times/MicrosoftMicrosoft and 343 Studios played the true subject of the Halo Franchise Panel close to the vest on Thursday, the first full day of Comic-Con International: San Diego. Word leaked earlier that day, however, about Halo: Legends, a seven episode Halo anime series being produced by some of the biggest animation houses in Japan, including Studio I.G, Bones and Toei. To kick off the panel, a trailer was shown to rapt attention, compsoed of scenes featuring familiar Halo elements in various distinctive anime and CG styles either fighting, running or blowing up.
Halo franchise manager Frank O'Connor of 343 Studios wasted no time introducing the guests on the panel, including two of Japan's top anime directors: Sinji Aramaki (Appleseed) and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa of Studio I.G (Ghost in the Shell). All shared his enthusiasm for the project. Their goal is to build off of the established games, novels and comics to deliver Halo content in the form popularized by The Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight, and to continue expanding anime's popularity in the United States. It was announced that Halo: Legends would be all canon, save for a segment by Toei. After this announcement, the panelists shared sly smiles to each other, but nothing to the audience filling out one of the largest halls.
O'Connor then announced "Halo: Waypoint" a new central hub of information about Halo projects and character advancement that will be a part of the Xbox Live service. He also reiterated that Halo: Legends is not a cash in, but a serious attempt to expanded the canon and create a work of animated art.
With the questions line forming fifty people deep, the floor was turned over to the audience while single frames of Halo: Legends flashed on the projector.
-A question about upcoming prequel game Halo: Reach was sidestepped, as it is a Bungie project.
-The infamous Halo 2 and 3 Alternate Reality Games (e.g. I Love Bees) will be referenced in Halo: Legends, but O'Connor won't say how
-A fan wants another game with Master Chief, O'Connor says he'll be in Halo: Legends at least.
-Other Spartans? Yes, including females, and some Spartan back story
-A request for info about Master Chief's fate post-Halo 3 was denied, and Halo: Legends will only touch on the subject.
-A follow-up about secondary characters and O'Connor let the fans know that they are important to them and will be respected.
-Casting of Halo: Legends will be announced in the future; nothing ready to announce yet
-A real Marine requested a better showing for his future counterparts. O'Connor said they will give it their all, but may not be successful.
-Anime dubbed or subbed? Both with other language subtitle options available.
-Will the Covenant's story be told? Yes, O'Connor says their story is important and will have their own segment
-A fan asked about a frame of Halo: Legends that showed an elite dressed as a samurai. O'Connor said it's part of I.G's "Duel" (working title) episode.
-A sharp eyes fan noticed that some of the existing multiplayer maps make an appearance in the Halo: Legends Trailer. O'Connor says those are Easter eggs and there is more to it.
-Was the Halo Encyclopedia used in making Halo: Legends? It is a separate project, but info was available to the anime studios
-The asking price for Halo: Legends has not be decided on
-Will more mature Halo material be made available in the future? O'Connor says Halo: Legends will at parts be dark and violent.
-One fan remembers when Halo: ODST was said to be the last game. O'Connor jokingly blames Bungie
-What year is Halo: Reach going to be set? Although Bungie wasn't present, the panel answered this one: 2552
-Bring back Marathon? O'Connor: No plans.
-Halo: Chronicles with Peter Jackson (The oft-mentioned live action film)? O'Connor: No news.
-Will the events of recent real time strategy game Halo Wars be included within Halo: Legends? Yes, everything is canon and interconnected...except the Toei segment.
With that, O'Connor closed out the panel by running the trailer once again to leave fans aching for more.

Next week the Lords will be discussing marriage equality in the (full house) committee stage of the bills progression through the House of Lords.
A few of the proposed amendments have now been published and I find them quite revealing in their prejudices. Here are a couple just to give you a flavour (full listings here and here)
After Clause 1You might think that those of us who value religious, and individual, freedom would be happy to see such a clause in the bill. But if you do think that you have a rather 2D view of the world. For is it not true that it is actually those who are in favour of equal marriage who stand at more risk of censure once this bill passes? The Catholic Church has made it clear that voicing a belief in marriage equality would be enough to get you fired. If our opponents truly believed in individual freedom they would be introducing amendments that protect those they disagree with as well as those they agree with. Unfortunately they clearly only value freedom for those who share their views. Certainly tells us all we need to know about them, in my opinion.
Insert the following new Clause— "Protecting belief in traditional marriage: public authorities
(1) A public authority, or any person exercising a public function, shall have regard to the following—
(a) that prior to the coming into force of this Act, marriage was the union of one man and one woman for life to the exclusion of all others ("traditional marriage");
(b) that belief in traditional marriage is a belief worthy of respect in a democratic society;
(c) that no person should suffer any detriment because of their belief in traditional marriage.
(2) In this section, a public authority is a person who is specified in Schedule 19 to the Equality Act 2010, and a public function is a function that is a function of a public nature for the purposes of the Human Rights Act 1998."
BARONESS O'LOANAn excellent one here. Note the use of "relevant marriages", a description that would limit this freedom only to refusing to conduct same-sex marriages. Do these people not truly believe in freedom? Why should a Christian registrar marry atheists or Muslims? Or why can't an atheist turn away any Christians who for whatever reason marry in a registry office (such as divorced Catholics)? What is the difference? Again you see here that for all these talk of protecting people they are simply protecting discrimination against one group rather than supporting actual freedom.
Page 4, line 9, at end insert—
"( ) For the purposes of section 149 of the Equality Act 2010, no regard may be had by any public authority to—
(a) any decision by a person whether or not to opt-in, conduct, be present at, carry out, participate in, or consent to the taking place of, relevant marriages;
or (b) the expression by a person of the opinion or belief that marriage is the union of one man with one woman."
LORD DEARThat is fine Lord Dear as long as everyone else is protected in criticising "traditional marriage" and protesting outside churches that conduct such marriages whilst they are being conducted will not be harassment? That okay? No? WHY?
Page 56, line 6, at end insert—
"39A After section 26 (harassment) insert—
For the purposes of this Act, and for the avoidance of doubt, discussion or criticism of same sex marriage shall not be taken of itself to be discrimination or harassment.""
The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement has spotted something I hadn't noticed. Under the current bill registration of religious buildings for same-sex marriages will be separate from registration for opposite-sex ones and will cost the same as registration for civil partnerships (which are prohibitively expensive and more than for opposite-sex marriages). Which bears out my previous concerns that what we are getting with this bill is gay marriage and not marriage equality.

BOOK CARE kit
These are all my favourite tools for book cleaning. In the kit, you will get:
- a large smoke sponge,
- an adhesive pickup
- a 4" bonefolder (arrowhead or pointed, whichever is in stock)
- my softest tested eraser, for the most gentle use on book pages
- one bamboo handled sheep hair brush
There are notes too, on the basics of how to use each tool - all the things your bookbinder wants you to know about how to love your books.
The paper box pictured comes free (I made it for fun); if you pick it up from the bindery, use the LOCALPICKUP code. If you'd like it mailed, it gets clumsy, so I'll mail it with the box collapsed :)

Much like he did with Stephanie Birkitt, David Letterman also used Holly Hester in sketches on his old "Late Night with David Letterman."
Here's a bit Dave did with Hester, who claims to have had a relationship with Letterman, all the way back in 1988. In this scene, Hester went by the name Phoebe.
