title: Frederica Williams

text:
Frederica M. Williams, MBA, FCIS (born 1958) has served as the president and chief executive officer of Whittier Street Health Center in Boston, Massachusetts since 2002. Biography

Family background
Frederica Williams was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Her family belong to the Creole ethnic group in Sierra Leone. She is the third child of the late Matilda Effeh Williams, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, and Emeric A. Williams, Sr., deputy general manager of the Sierra Leone External Telecommunications.

Education and career
Williams attended the London School of Accountancy, passed the examinations of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, United Kingdom, and was elected fellow of the institute. She obtained a graduate certificate in administration and management from Harvard Extension School. And a Master in Business Administration with a concentration in finance from Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts. She also passed the exams of the Institute of Administrative Management (UK) with distinction and has participated in several executive education programs at the Harvard University Business School.

She moved from London, UK, to Boston in 1984 and worked at various hospitals until joining Whittier Street Health Center in February 2002 as its president and chief executive officer. In addition to fostering an environment of proactive health care and energizing a community, Williams has brought sound financial stewardship to Whittier to ensure that the services and resources offered by Whittier will be available for generations to come. Since Williams began at Whittier, the number of people served increased from 5,000 to 25,000 in 2012, and is now close to 30,000 in 2018.

Under Williams’ direction, Whittier has embarked upon a community outreach campaign, which has included hosting New England's largest men's health summit, making health care practitioners available at local houses of worship, and providing residents of public housing with on-site access to health screenings. Under her leadership, the health center also built its first permanent 78,900-square foot, Silver LEED-certified health facility in 2012, with the capacity to provide 220,000 visits annually, and, in 2015, it inaugurated its innovative Health and Wellness Institute to help address chronic diseases in inner-city Boston and to provide affordable access to a state of the art exercise facility and community garden for thousands of residents and patients in need.

In June 2017, Ms. Williams’ vision to have a second clinic in North Dorchester was realized. This clinic is located in a senior housing building in a high need neighborhood.

In 2018, Williams was recognized for her efforts to make the now nationally distinguished health center a reality, and honored by the WSHC Board of Directors who officially named the building “Frederica M. Williams Building” On this anniversary Williams is also being acknowledged for her other accomplishments at WSHC, which include opening a satellite clinic on Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury, building a 6,600-square-foot fitness center at the Tremont location, the creation of a community garden, launching a mobile health van outreach initiative, a partnership with the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, and a men's health clinic. On December 6, 2019, the Patriot Vanguard of Sierra Leone proudly recognized Ms. Williams’ life mission, business and social justice leadership.

On November 24, 2020, Harvard Extension School named Ms. Williams (C.S.S., '91) the recipient of its 2020 Dean Michael Shinagel Award for Service to Others, presented by the Harvard Extension Alumni Association. Barbara O’Reilly, director of the Alumni Awards, said: "Frederica Williams embodies exceptional leadership advancing social change in addressing health and economic disparities and social justice in the Greater Boston community."

On February 20, 2021, Frederica M. Williams launched scholarship funds to educate young children in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

In December 2020, Frederica M. Williams was recognized for her tireless efforts in addressing social justice and health equity at all times, especially in times of crises during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under her leadership, Whittier Street Health Center expanded its range of services to include Mobile Health Services to remove barriers to care such as transportation, location, access and hours of work for essential workers. Whittier manages four Mobile Health Units that provides a wide range of services including Boston Public School-Based clinics, medication delivery, dental hygiene services, health screenings, primary care, behavioral health screenings, vision screenings, linkage and HIV Counseling and Testing. With the addition of Mobile Health Units, Whittier will be able to deliver an unprecedented level of care to our patients and be a constant presence within the underserved communities to improve access and health outcomes:

Ms. Williams is credited for leading and implementing innovative, high-quality and affordable health care and social services to address health equity, social justice and the economic iniquities impacting low-income and Black, Indigenous and People of Color. On June 21, 2021, she led the 21st Annual Men's Health Summit to highlight the high mortality rates of men, especially men of color. This 2021 theme “Men Take Action on Holistic Health and COVID-19: Physical, Mental & Economic Wellbeing,” was chosen not only to highlight the far reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to educate people about the importance holistic health plays in everyday life.

In April 2020, former Mayor Marty Walsh appointed a group of BIPOC leaders to join the COVID-19 Health Inequities Task Force. Frederica M. Williams was one of the leaders tasked with developing strategies to address racism as a public health issues and recommendations to promote health equity and social justice. In July 2021, the Boston Health Inequities Task Force released the Boston Health Equity Now Plan. The Health Equity Now Plan is only an initial step towards the long recovery from COVID-19.

To reach the 8 goals, the plan provides 18 key recommendations that focus on acknowledging racism, creating educational and financial opportunities, and proactive community engagement. The full list of recommendations are detailed in the report.

The Task Force urged leaders from all corners of Boston to take part in rebuilding a Boston free of racial and health inequities. These recommendations provide actionable steps to addressing racism and health inequities.

In March 2021, Williams headed the public health sub-committee of the project guiding Kim Janey's then-expected transition into the position of acting mayor of Boston.

June 26, 2021, Williams launched a fleet of Mobile Health Van programs to serve residents and patients at schools, public housing developments, faith institutions, employment, homeless shelters, Street outreach and congregate settings. The services include primary care, HIV and Infectious Diseases testing and screenings, dental, behavioral health, and linkage to care and support services. These culturally sensitive services remove barriers to care, address the social determinants of health, and improve health outcomes and access. All patients are served regardless of their health insurance status.

December 31, 2021: Williams and Whittier was highlighted by Shirley Leung of the Boston Globe for the center's services to the homeless at Mass and Cass Blvd, a former tent city occupied by vulnerable residents including those suffering from mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and other chronic conditions. The Whittier outreach team provides services at several hotspots in Boston including Mass and Cass

December 31, 2021: First Night Vaccination Clinic: Williams partnered with the city's Health department to host a popular First Night COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic to address vaccine hesitancy. This New Year's Eve clinic and all other pop-up clinics held various locations have significantly increase the vaccine equity.

May 24, 2022, Ms. Williams was named the recipient of the 2022 Dean Michael Shinagel Award for Service to Others from the Harvard Extension Alumni Association.

On October 13, 2022, Frederica M. Williams and her team launched a Day Engagement Center to serve the Homeless and Vulnerable citizens of Boston. Whittier's Engagement Center will adopt a therapeutic milieu approach to encourage healthier ways of thinking and promote healthy lifestyles, while providing access to clinical and medical services. One of the most powerful aspects of the therapeutic milieu approach is the idea that everyone in the program, staff and clients alike, deserves respect. In the milieu setting, individuals will be given both the access and the choice whether to attend scheduled groups and/or to utilize the provided clinical services. By allowing individuals to have the ability to choose desired services rather than requiring participation, power and authority are distributed in an egalitarian way. This shared authority approach allows everyone in the program to have a greater sense of agency and responsibility.

In March 2023, Williams launched Whittier’s Mobile Health Services Behavioral Health Screening Program to help identify substance use and mental health disorders early to help individuals and families access resources, including appropriate, evidence-based care. The mobile health screening help to determine the probability of the presence of a problem and identify areas of concern. Substance use and mental health disorders are common and are often not diagnosed and remain untreated. Such disorders can create significant family, social, and health problems. Early identification of mental health and substance use disorders can improve health and relationships, as well as help provide safe and nurturing environments. The screenings are performed by the community outreach team through the Mobile Health Services and helps to distinguish between individuals who could benefit from minimal intervention and others who may require further diagnostic assessment and treatment. Similar to a routine vitals screening, mental health screening for depression and substance abuse helps individuals understand current emotional health. Screening for depression and substance use can help an individual begin to fully recognize the impact the condition has.

Benefits of routine depression and substance use screenings:

·        Removes barriers to care including transportation

·        Allows early identification and intervention of underlying problems

·        Early treatment leads to better outcomes

·        Can lessen long-term disability

·        Reduces social stigma surrounding mental illnesses

BLACK WOMEN LEAD: 1700 TO 2022: Frederica M. Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center was among 200 Black women honored during a May 12th, 2023 at a special event at the Massachusetts State House. The 200 honorees represent all Black women who have worked tirelessly to make the greater Boston area a better place since the 1700s. The list was determined by members of the Black Women Lead Honorary Committee who researched the lives of Black Women leaders from the greater Boston area from the 18th century through the present. “To be included in such an illustrious list is a true honor,” said Williams. “The contributions that these Black women leaders have made over the centuries are immeasurable and a testament to their intelligence, talent, determination, and strength of mind and character. This award represents all the black women on whose shoulders I rest, my family, colleagues and patients at Whittier.”

The event was presented by Boston City Councilor Brian Worrell, State Representative Christopher Worrell, Ed Gaskin Executive Director Greater Grove Hall Main Streets with support from The Kraft Foundation.

The Black Women Lead Honorary Committee members include Senator Elizabeth Warren, Attorney General Andrea Campbell, State Representative Brandy Fluker-Oakley, Congresswomen Katherine Clark and Ayanna Pressley, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LIFE EXPECTANCY IN ROXBURY – LIFE EXPECTANCY IMPROVEMENTS:

With a vision to become an exceptional community health provider that addresses health care inequities, closes gaps in life expectancy, and pursues social justice, under the leadership of Whittier’s Street Health Center’s President & CEO, Frederica M. Williams, the organization raised awareness about the 33year gap in life expectancy for those living in Roxbury (59.5years) compared to those living in the Back Bay, a gentrified neighborhood less than 2 miles from Roxbury (92 years). Whittier focused on the “Tale of the Two Cities” and partnered with its patients, community residents and leaders, corporations and public sector partners to raise awareness and to develop programs to close the life expectancy gap. Whittier launched its Boston Health Equity Program (BHEP) in 2012, a system of care for people with chronic illnesses and those at risk and fully integrates innovative community outreach, wellness support, linkage to social services, wellness support and care coordination with a focus to eliminate health disparities and their associated costs. The population health management system stratifies all patients according to their conditions and social factors so that appropriate services can be provided by Whittier’s multidisciplinary team. A little over a decade later, Whittier has made large strides in improving life expectancy in its service areas. Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Boston’s Public Health Commissioner said in a WBUR article that Whittier’s Boston Health Equity Program greatly helped the community.

WBUR reported that according to a study by the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) released on May 11th, 2023, in the 2 miles between Roxbury and Back Bay, there is a 23-year life expectancy gap between residents. This is a significant improvement from the BPHC report in 2007, where the gap was previously 33 years. However, the areas with the estimated highest life expectancy in 2007 stayed relatively stagnant in 2021.

Whittier’s BHEP incorporates the social determinants of health, the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. These are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and system shaping the daily conditions of life. Frederica M. Williams and her dedicated colleagues at Whittier know that the hard work is not over and will continue to refine its systems to address the unfair and avoidable differences in health status impacting vulnerable populations and will continue to refine its strategies and work with its partners and communities to eradicate the gap.

Whittier Program Closes the Life Expectancy Gap in Minority and Low-Income Communities. Working with its patients and partners, Whittier has made large strides in improving life expectancy in its service areas by 10 years. The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) released a report on May 11, 2023, and there is a 23-year life expectancy gap between residents in Roxbury and the Back Bay.

Frederica M. Williams, was named the recipient of the 2023 Joan Wallace Leadership Award.The award is presented to a nonprofit leader who exemplifies exceptional leadership qualities and a compassionate and empathetic approach to serving her community.

For National Black Business Month (August 2023), the Boston Globe highlights the Black leaders in Boston– including our President and CEO, Frederica M. Williams – who are leading the charge for a more equitable and diverse business community.

title: Closure Commemoration Medal

text:
The Closure Commemoration Medal is a military commemoration medal which was instituted by the President of the Republic of South Africa in 2010, to commemorate the disbandment of the Commandos, the rural defence component of the South African National Defence Force.

The South African military
The Union Defence Forces (UDF) were established in 1912 and renamed the South African Defence Force (SADF) in 1958. It consisted of three components, the full-time Permanent Force, the part-time Citizen Force and the rural defence Commandos. On 27 April 1994, the SADF was integrated with six other independent forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The 183 South African Commando units, consisting of 52,000 serving members, were disbanded in 2003 and members were given the opportunity to join the conventional Citizen Force Regiments or the Sector Policing Forums of the South African Police Service, or to demobilise. The Closure Commemoration Medal was instituted by the President in 2010 to commemorate the disbandment of the Commandos.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Other Ranks who have served in the Commandos, as well as to the Honorary Colonels, who had completed at least five years service on or after 27 April 2003. The first medals were presented to former Commando members on 30 November 2011.

Order of wear

The Closure Commemoration Medal was instituted subsequent to the publication of the most recent revision of the "South African Consolidated Official Table of Precedence : Orders, Decorations and Medals" on 11 March 2005. As a newly instituted commemoration medal, its logical position in the order of precedence is between the lowest ranked commemoration award and the highest ranked award for loyal service and good conduct.

 Official military order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Unitas Medal of the Republic of South Africa.
 Succeeded by the Medalje vir Troue Diens and Bar, 50 years of the Republic of South Africa.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Police Service Amalgamation Medal of the Republic of South Africa.
 Succeeded by the Medalje vir Troue Diens and Bar, 50 years of the Republic of South Africa.

Description
Obverse
The Closure Commemoration Medal is a medallion struck in nickel-silver, 38 millimetres in diameter and 3 millimetres thick at the rim, displaying three stacked .303 Lee–Enfield rifles within a wreath of proteas.

Reverse
The reverse displays the embellished Coat of arms of South Africa above a bar bearing the stamped medal number and, around the perimeter, the inscriptions "CLOSURE COMMEMORATION MEDAL" at left, "SLUITINGSGEDENKMEDALJE" at right and "MEDALE WA KGOTSO WA MATSWALELAKGORO" below.

Clasp

A clasp inscribed "COMMANDOS" was instituted along with the medal, to be worn on the medal ribbon. It  was struck in nickel-silver and has a hole at each end to allow it to be sewn onto the medal ribbon.

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide and green, with a 12 millimetres wide yellow band in the centre. The green and yellow colours have their origin in the ribbon colours of the three awards which were belatedly instituted in 1920, as retrospective awards for Boer veteran officers and men of the Second Boer War of 1899–1902, the Dekoratie voor Trouwe Dienst, the Medalje voor de Anglo-Boere Oorlog and the Lint voor Verwonding. For these three awards, these two colours had been gazetted as green and orange, but the orange appeared as yellow on the actual ribbons.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Closure Commemoration Medal has not yet been discontinued and qualifying ex-members may still apply.

It was founded by New Providence residents Michael and Lauryn Shapiro in October 2008 to provide independent local news. In the past two decades many local hardcopy newspapers have been acquired by national conglomerates that have slashed the newsroom. Other hardcopy newspapers have gone out of business leaving news deserts in their wake. In the coverage vacuum, hyperlocal online media such as TAPinto are often the only local news coverage that many communities get.

TAPinto's Franchise Model

title: William Cargill (Berwick MP)

text:
William Walter Cargill (1813 – 23 May 1894) was a British Conservative Party politician.

He was elected at a by-election in June 1863 as a Member of Parliament for Berwick-upon-Tweed.  His victory by a margin of 18 votes (328–310)
was immediately denounced by his Liberal opponent Alexander Mitchell.
Cargill's attempt at an acceptance speech was drowned out by the crowd, which hustled him as he left and broke some glass both in the Guildhall and in the inn where he was staying. Mitchell announced that he would rather be defeated than win by the means which had secured Cargill's victory, and promised that he would lodge a petition against the result.

When the petition was heard before a House of Commons committee, Mitchell's lawyer produced evidence of bribery in Cargill's interest.

However, when the hearing resumed on a later day he protested that the committee had not allowed him to call the witnesses he needed, and declined to offer any further evidence. The committee concluded that there was there of bribery was indirect, and that there was no proof that had been carried out on behalf of Cargill. They dismissed the petition, but noted that it was neither frivolous not vexatious.

At the general election in 1865, Cargill Mitchell won the seat from Cargill.

Cargill unsuccessfully contested Berwick-upon-Tweed at the 1880 general election.  At the Berwick-upon-Tweed by-election in 1881, Cargill arrived at the town and announced his intention to stand,
but does not appear to have been nominated.

Cargill was the son of William Cargill (1774-1860), Superintendent of Otago in New Zealand and a member of the New Zealand Parliament; his younger brothers Edward and John would also serve in the New Zealand Parliament.

title: Land of poets

text:
The phrase land of poets () is commonly used to describe Chile because of its highly-valued poetry tradition. The phrase is most often associated with the fact that Chilean poets have twice obtained Nobel Prize in Literature for their works: Gabriela Mistral in 1945 and Pablo Neruda in 1971. According to the Austral University of Chile academician Oscar Galindo, the concept of Chile as the "land of poets" is mostly foreign.

title: Budig glider

text:
The unusual German Budig glider participated in the second (1921) Rhön competition, though without distinction.  It was later fitted with a low power engine, making it probably the first powered glider.

Design and development
The Budig glider was a single seat biplane or sesquiplane of unequal span and chord with three forward surfaces supported on a pair of box section booms. The upper foreplane was claimed to provide automatic stability and carried an elevator behind it, though Flight remarked that "It is difficult, from the illustration, to make out exactly what this arrangement is  supposed to do." The pilot sat at the upper wing trailing edge, completely exposed at the front of a short central fuselage which supported a rectangular fin.

By 1923 a small,  BMW horizontally opposed motorcycle engine had been added, mounted in pusher configuration behind the pilot who now sat at the leading edge of the upper wing behind a more substantial nose. It drove a very small diameter propeller.  To accommodate the powerplant the central rear fuselage was replaced by rearward extensions of the booms, assisted by another, finer pair from the upper wings, which carried twin rectangular fins with a second elevator surface between them.

The little engine probably did not have enough power to get the Budig airborne but was used to maintain altitude or decrease the sink rate; launches were made with the usual bungee cord catapult. Nonetheless, Flight noted it as " probably the first glider with an auxiliary engine to fly".

title: Discovery (fireboat)

text:
The Discovery is a fireboat launched on the Columbia River in 2014.
The Discovery is operated by the  Vancouver Fire Department. The vessel can pump  for firefighting, and is the city's first dedicated fireboat.

She was purchased through a port security grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The $2.7 million grant was shared with the Fire Department of nearby Astoria, Oregon, and Clark County Fire & Rescue.

In 2002 a Washington Survey and Review Bureau evaluation reported that Vancouver maritime commerce was well above the size where the city needed a dedicated fireboat.
The publication of the report triggered an increase local insurance rates. The FEMA research paper Marine Response Vessel Use and Design Assessment recommended that Vancouver's fireboat should have a minimum pumping capacity of at least .

Operation
In addition to her fire-fighting capability the vessel is equipped with infrared sensors to support search and rescue missions.
In her cabin there is a decontamination station as well as facilities for providing emergency medical care and transportation.
She is equipped with equipment to contain oil and other hazardous material spills.  In addition, she was designed to be of use in the event of natural or man-made disasters, like earthquakes, or terrorist attacks.

The Discovery is available to respond anywhere on the Columbia River system (when staffed)

The Discovery is not staffed full time. She operates with a minimum crew of 3- pilot, deckhand and rescue swimmer. In normal circumstances, this crew is assigned to a "marine engine company" in town, which must respond several miles to reach the Discovery for an emergency response. If that engine company is committed to an incident, or if the engine crew on a given day does not contain the requisite pilot, deckhand and swimmer, the Discovery cannot operate and won't be dispatched.

text:
The Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor is an exhibit located at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that commemorates baseball players, coaches, executives, and broadcasters who have made significant contributions to the Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball team and meet set criteria regarding career milestones or service time. The team was established in Seattle, Washington, as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, and they became the Milwaukee Brewers after relocating to Wisconsin in 1970. The franchise played in the American League (AL) until 1998 when it moved to the National League (NL) in conjunction with a major league realignment.

title: Tethys (database)

text:
Tethys is an online knowledge management system that provides the marine renewable energy (MRE) and wind energy communities with access to information and scientific literature on the environmental effects of devices. Named after the Greek titaness of the sea, the goal of the Tethys database is to promote environmental stewardship and the advancement of the wind and marine renewable energy communities. The website has been developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Water Power Technologies Office. Tethys hosts information and activities associated with two international collaborations known as OES-Environmental and WREN, formed to examine the environmental effects of marine renewable energy projects and wind energy projects, respectively.

Content overview

As industry, academia, and government seek to develop new renewable energy sources from moving water and wind, there exists an opportunity to gather potential environmental effects of these technologies.  Tethys aims to evaluate and measure these effects to ensure that aquatic and avian animals, habitats, and ecosystem functions are not adversely affected, nor that important ocean and land uses are displaced. While these studies are presently scattered among different organizations, Tethys creates a centralized hub where this information can be found. Each document is labeled with an environmental stressor and receptor which categorize the type of potential harm and the affected area of the environment. The categories and the technology types covered are listed below:

OES-Environmental

OES-Environmental, formerly known as Annex IV, is a collaborative project among member nations of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Ocean Energy Systems (OES) to examine environmental effects of ocean energy projects and research. There is currently a wide range of ocean energy technologies and devices in development around the world; the few data that exist on environmental effects of these technologies are dispersed among different countries and developers. While the US Department of Energy is the operating agent, currently (as of November 2020) 15 out of 29 nations from OES are involved: Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Monaco, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. There have been four phases of this initiative:

Phase 1: 2010-2013

Phase 1 Annex IV (2010-2013) brought together seven Ocean Energy Systems (OES) nations, led by the US, to establish a smart, searchable, public, online knowledge base that features information on environmental effects of marine renewable energy (MRE). Annex IV also engaged numerous academic, scientific, and commercial organizations and institutions through gathering of information for Tethys and engagement in webinars and other online activities, and facilitated sharing of research findings through workshops and online meetings. The culmination of phase 1 was a report, Environmental Effects of Marine Energy Development around the World: Annex IV Final Report, that summarized the state of understanding of environmental effects around wave and tidal devices, focused on three case studies:
 The Interaction of Marine Animals with Turbine Blades
 Effects of Acoustic Output from Tidal and Wave Devices on Marine Animals
 The Environmental Effects of Marine Energy Development on Physical Systems

Annex IV also began to collect metadata on project sites that were performing environmental baseline studies and/or monitoring studies and relevant research studies that were underway. Over 150 forms were collected, providing details on nearly every project that has been deployed to date and on the most current research being conducted. All of this metadata is hosted in Tethys along with associated reports and publications.

Phase 2: 2013-2016

During phase 2 (2013-2016), Annex IV brought together 13 nations, again led by the US. This three-year period continued to expand the collection of scientific papers, reports, and metadata on MRE development in relation to environmental effects. Phase 2 also placed a strong emphasis on bringing together the community interested in environmental effects, which includes researchers, developers, regulators, and stakeholders. This was achieved through quarterly webinars on topics of interest delivered by experts in the field; online expert forums that allowed small groups of researchers to discuss and collaborate on technical topics that continue to complicate monitoring of effects; and workshops, conference support and participation that brought additional focus to environmental topics of mutual concern. Key activities during this phase included a partnership with the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC 2015) in Nantes, France during September 2015, that brought enhanced focus and researcher participation on environmental issues to this well-regarded conference. Additionally, the preparation of the Annex IV 2016 State of the Science Report: Environmental Effects of Marine Renewable Energy Development Around the World synthesized the knowledge of environmental researchers and information sources to assess progress that has been made and questions that remain to be answered about environmental impacts of MRE devices. A draft of the State of the Science report was made available for OES Executive Committee members and selected peer reviewers in November 2015, and was released for public review during the International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE) in Edinburgh UK in February 2016. The final State of the Science report was released in April 2016 in Washington DC., along with a number of derivative products aimed at getting the essential information of the report to varied audiences who might not consider reading the full report.

Phase 3: 2016-2020

During phase 3 (2016-2020), Annex IV continued to pursue efforts to identify and bring clarity to the importance of key MRE device interactions with the marine environment. Following release of the 2016 State of the Science report, the Annex IV community put considerable effort into ensuring that the report itself and its key findings were made accessible and easily discovered. Many webinars, conference presentations (including EWTEC 2017, Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (AWTEC) 2018, Australian Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium 2018, Environmental Interactions with Marine Renewables (EIMR) 2018, and Marine Energy Technology Symposium 2018), and other outreach opportunities helped spread the messages of the report and the Annex IV/OES role in furthering understanding of environmental effects to facilitate consenting.

Other activities carried out by Annex IV during phase 3 included two workshops on collision risk to marine mammals, seabirds, and fish from tidal stream and river turbines, and two workshops on the gathering and use of social and economic data needed for consenting processes. Ongoing work to collect, curate, and make accessible existing information on MRE environmental effects on Tethys has expanded the platform and reached ever growing audiences. The phase culminated in the release of the 2020 State of the Science report, which reflects the most current and pertinent published information about interactions of marine renewable energy devices and associated infrastructure with the animals and habitats that make up the marine environment. During this phase, Annex IV was also renamed to OES-Environmental.

Phase 4: 2020-2024

OES-Environmental has been approved for another 4-year extension consisting of three interrelated tracks: (1) information gathering and analysis, (2) information dissemination, and (3) engaging the community to support research and monitoring needs. This phase will continue most ongoing activities, while expanding to engage the regulatory community and address socio-economic issues.

WREN

WREN (Working Together to Resolve Environmental Effects of Wind Energy), also known as Task 34, was established by the IEA Wind Committee to address environmental issues associated with commercial development of land-based and offshore wind energy projects. While the U.S. DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is the operating agent, currently (as of October 2020) 13 out of 26 nations involved in IEA Wind are involved: Belgium, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. There has been three phases of this initiative:

Phase 1: 2012-2016

The goal of WREN is to facilitate international collaboration that advances global understanding of environmental effects of offshore and land-based wind energy development, though the formation of a community of practice around research, monitoring and management of the environmental effects of wind energy development. Two key products were developed during phase 1: 1) Tethys was expanded to include land-based wind and host WREN activities and 2) a white paper focused on adaptive management.

Phase 2: 2016-2020

The second phase of WREN included the expansion of Tethys, development of several white papers, continuation of the webinar series, and outreach and engagement efforts. All these activities were aimed at contributing to supporting the expansion of land-based and offshore wind energy deployment.

Phase 3: 2020-2024

The objective for the third phase of WREN is to assess the global state of the science related to the environmental effects of both offshore and land-based wind energy development. Over the course of the third phase, WREN will: (1) Identify priority international needs for further research related to the environmental effects of wind energy development; (2) Aggregate, synthesize, and disseminate information on the global state of the science on high-priority issues and recommended practices within the wind energy industry; and (3) Assess the technical readiness and effectiveness of solutions and explore the feasibility of transferring technologies and methodologies among jurisdictions.

Features

Additional functionality is regularly added to Tethys in response to peer reviews, surveys, and general comments from users. However, there are primary functions of Tethys that allow users to experience community, search through the data, and learn more about the new and exciting field of renewable energy.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is primarily displayed as a table view that utilizes the alphabetical column sorting, facet box selection, and keyword search to allow users to easily sift through the information. Over 5300 media entries relevant to the environmental effects of wind energy and marine renewable energy are available, consisting of journal articles, reports, websites, conference papers, presentations, workshop articles, theses, books, book sections, videos, datasets, magazine articles, project site information, and research study information. This is a growing database, where relevant materials that are newly published or discovered will be added.

Map Viewer

The interactive Map Viewer shows the locations of geo-tagged project sites, research studies, and documents gathered from across the world. More than 3200 items appear on the map, a subset of the information available in the Knowledge Base. Users may interact with the map with zooming and panning functions, facet box selection, and a keyword search. Selecting one of the icons will reveal a specific page with more in-depth information. This is a growing database, where relevant materials that are newly published or discovered will be added.

Connections

In an effort to connect members of this growing community, Tethys is meant to act as a hub, providing resources and contacts for those looking for more information. One way is by providing links to similar databases that may have different approaches to viewing data, or that may provide a different focus on the data collected. Another page lists summaries of the regulatory frameworks in many of the major countries, providing links to agencies and laws rather than going into detail. There is also an extensive database of over 1700 organizations involved in wind energy and marine renewable energy and the environment, providing a list of publications affiliated with the organization and some basic information. Members of the Tethys community that have created a free account also have the ability to share their contact information and interests to with other community members in a searchable table.

Broadcasts

Tethys also houses multimedia in the broadcast tab, meant to engage users in the Tethys community. Everything is freely available to the public and easily searchable.
 Tethys Blasts - a bi-weekly newsletter highlighting new information and events available on Tethys, as well as recent news in renewable energy.
 Environmental Webinars - webinars on environmental effects of marine or wind energy, hosted by US DOE, OES-Environmental, WREN, and other organizations.
 Conferences and Workshops - presentations, reports, and video from conferences and workshops on environmental effects of marine or wind energy.
 Expert Forums - online discussions among invited scientific and engineering experts on focused research topics of concern to marine energy development.
 Tethys Stories - brief descriptions of programs, organizations, or topics of interest in wind and marine renewable energy.

Technical overview

Tethys began in 2011 hosted on a Semantic MediaWiki platform, but migrated to Drupal in early 2013. Drawing on many years of experience and systems development, developers have tailored the website to allow for semantic searches and the organization of data through tagging individual files, documents, and multimedia products. Content is regularly monitored and curated, though suggestions from the user community are always welcome.

Community of Knowledge Hubs

In 2019, a partner database called Tethys Engineering was created to address the technical and engineering aspects of marine renewable energy. Tethys Engineering mirrors the design and functionality of Tethys, building off nearly a decade of database management. The two websites will have federated search capabilities and will share some content indices.

An effort was also initiated in 2019 by the U.S. Department of Energy to enhance access to marine renewable energy information and reduce duplication of efforts. This resulted in the PRIMRE (Portal and Repository for Information on Marine Renewable Energy) system, which creates a single point of access for databases such as Tethys, Tethys Engineering, the MHK Data Repository, the MRE Technologies Database, and Telesto.

title: John Kalili

text:
John Kalili ( – April 3, 1855) was a judge and politician in the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Life
Nothing much is known about Kalili's early life, although roster of the Lahainalunla School indicate he came from Honolulu, Oʻahu. He was a cousin of Joshua Kekaulahao.
Kalili was one of the first generation of Hawaiians to receive a western education by the American missionaries who arrived in Hawaii in 1820. In 1836, he began his education at Lahainaluna Seminary with Kekaulahao and graduated after four years of education in 1840. Some of his classmates beside his cousin Kekaulahao included writer S. N. Haleole, historian Samuel Kamakau and future royal governor of Hawaii Island, George Luther Kapeau, although only Kekaulahao was in his same class of 1836.
In 1847, he was registered as the owner of the Hawaiian sloop Waiahao.

On January 27, 1848, the Governor of Oʻahu Mataio Kekūanaōʻa appointed John Kalili and Simon P. Kalama as the two circuit judges of the island of Oʻahu. Kalama was charged with Honolulu while Kalili was charged with the district of Koʻolau in the eastern section of the island.
Kalili would also serve as a legislator from 1851 to 1852 as a member of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Hawaiian legislature. American lawyer Charles Coffin Harris ran as his opponent for the candiicay in the district of Palikolau in 1852 and lost.
In the 1852 legislative session, John Kalili served as the chairman of the Committee on Election.

While still in office as judge, Kalili died in Honolulu on April 3, 1855, at the age of forty-one. His cousin Joshua Kekaulahao was appointed to replace him as the circuit judge of Oʻahu, although he himself would die in 1856. In 1858, the remains of Kalili, Joshua Kekaulahao and four members of Kekaulahao's family were buried in the cemetery of the Kawaiahaʻo Church in a ceremony which included the use of Niʻihau mats as burial goods.

title: Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center

text:
The Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center is the ninth largest federal building in the United States and the largest in the southeast. The building houses 5,000 employees for dozens of federal agencies and combines four distinct structural elements in central downtown, equaling .

The Center is a U-shaped complex consisting of several distinct parts: a 24-story Modernist tower completed in 1997, a ten-story building, and the former main building of Rich's (department store), which opened in 1924. It also includes an eight-story bridge, six stories above Forsyth Street. The 1948 "Crystal Bridge", which connected two Rich's buildings, was demolished during the converting of the site to the Federal building complex, and was replaced by a more substantial connector between the high-rise and the 1924 Rich's building. The architect for the 1996-8 construction was Kohn, Peterson, Fox and Associates.

A tunnel to and from Five Points station is open to employees, and it was formerly a customer tunnel connecting Rich's to the station.

The building is named for Sam Nunn, U.S. senator from Georgia.

title: Hidden Cash

text:
Hidden Cash was a 2014 multi-city project founded by Jason Buzi and Yan Budman using the Twitter account of the same name.

On May 22, 2014, Hidden Cash began hiding money in San Francisco, California and tweeting out clues using the handle. Followers are encouraged to tweet a photo of themselves with the money they find, and Hidden Cash retweets these. Within a week, the group expanded to Los Angeles, and the account gained national and international media attention, and hundreds of thousands of followers.

Over the course of about 10 weeks, Hidden Cash did money drops in California cities including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Burbank, Bakersfield, Riverside, and San Diego; Las Vegas, NV; Chicago, IL; Houston, TX; New York City, and Mexico City. In Europe, Hidden Cash did events in London, Madrid, and Berlin.

Events typically consisted of the group hiding envelopes filled with money, most often between $50 and $100 in each, in various parks. In beaches in Southern California, from Los Angeles to San Diego, the group would hide money in Angry Birds toys or Pez dispensers. Pez dispensers were also used for the group's final drops at Coney Island and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York.

The number of participants in every scavenger hunt type event typically ranged from 200 to over 3000. A July event at a city park in Whittier, CA resulted in $5000 worth of property damage, which the group reimbursed the city for. The group also sponsored free ice cream on July 4 at Ben and Jerry's in San Francisco, New York City, and Washington, DC. On Monday, August 4, the group bought $1000 worth of groceries for shoppers in the Bronx, NY. Hidden Cash encourages its followers to "pay it forward".

Dozens of copycat accounts have sprung up around the world, most using "Hidden Cash" as part of their name, and many doing similar events in their local area.

On August 12, 2014, Hidden Cash creators Jason Buzi and Yan Budman announced that they were discontinuing the current phase of cash drops effective immediately.
Buzi stressed that although the current iteration of Hidden Cash had ended, he remained hopeful that the next phase of "fun and giving" could soon be underway. At the time of the announcement, the original Twitter account @hiddencash had 720,000 followers.

By mid-2015, Buzi clarified that Hidden Cash is not active.

As of April 2020, the Hidden Cash Twitter account has recently begun giving money to followers via guessing contests.

title: Freeman-Brewer-Sawyer House

text:
The Freeman-Brewer-Sawyer House is a historic house in Hillsboro, Illinois. The Greek Revival house was built in 1840, during the height of the style's popularity in the United States. The two-story house features six-over-six windows and a front entrance framed by pilasters, sidelights, and a transom; in addition, it originally had a portico supported by Doric columns. In 1904, the portico was replaced by a Classical Revival porch; the rounded, projecting porch features a balustrade along its roof, egg-and-dart molding, dentillation, and urn-shaped finials.

The house was originally owned by Sally Freeman and her family. In 1849, Judge William Brewer purchased the house, which has remained in his family through at least the 1990s. Brewer's daughter Sarah and her husband A. A. K. Sawyer were responsible for the Classical porch.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1992.

title: Herne – Bochum II

text:
Herne – Bochum II is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Bundestag. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 141. It is located in the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia, comprising the city of Herne and the eastern part of the city of Bochum.

Herne – Bochum II was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Since 2013, it has been represented by Michelle Müntefering of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

Geography
Herne – Bochum II is located in the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the entirety of the independent city of Herne and the city districts (Stadtbezirke) of 3 Bochum-Nord and 4 Bochum-Ost from the independent city of Bochum.

History
Herne – Bochum II was created in 1949, then known as Herne – Castrop-Rauxel. From 1980 through 1994, it was named Herne. In the 1998 election, it was named Herne – Bochum III. It acquired its current name in the 2002 election. In the 1949 election, it was North Rhine-Westphalia constituency 53 in the numbering system. From 1953 through 1961, it was number 112. From 1965 through 1976, it was number 111. From 1980 through 1998, it was number 112. From 2002 through 2009, it was number 142. Since 2013, it has been number 141.

Originally, the constituency comprised the independent cities of Herne and Castrop-Rauxel. From 1980 through 1994, it was coterminous with the independent city of Herne. In the 1998 election, it comprised Herne as well as the Stadtteile of Bergen and Hiltrop from the independent city of Bochum. It acquired its current borders in the 2002 election.

title: Guillaume Vogels

text:
Guillaume Vogels (9 June 1836, in Brussels – 9 January 1896, in Ixelles) was a Belgian  Impressionist painter.

Life
He was the son of a laborer. After his primary education, he was apprenticed to the Bellis Brothers, a house painting and decoration firm, and received a master certificate in 1855. He later owned his own decorating company in Brussels. One of his employees there was the Greek painter Périclès Pantazis, who became his lifelong friend, introducing him to the works of Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet and showing him the techniques of painting with the palette knife.

In 1870, he went to Paris, where he came under the influence of the Barbizon school. His first exhibition was at Ghent in 1874, but his work was not well received by the critics. He didn't achieve a career breakthrough until 1880, when he participated in the Paris Salon. In 1884, he became a member of Les XX, a secessionist group. This led to a meeting with James Ensor. The two apparently travelled together on study tours to England and the Netherlands and some critics cite Vogels as a significant influence on Ensor. After Les XX was disbanded in 1893, he participated in the creation of a new group called La Libre Esthétique.

He kept no written records and left his works undated, which makes it difficult to establish a chronology showing the development of his style. Some influence from the Old Masters seems to mark his later paintings, although many display a loose brushwork that appears to anticipate Expressionist techniques.
