Those released included the elderly, people in ill health and drug offenders. Two Reuters journalists facing 14 years in prison for possessing secret official documents were not included in the amnesty.
Myanmar on Monday announced an amnesty for more than 8,500 prisoners — including 51 foreigners and at least three dozen political prisoners. The action appeared to apply solely to convicted criminals rather than those waiting to be sentenced, suggesting the move is more of a presidential pardon than a blanket amnesty.
This was the first such action taken under President Win Myint, the proxy of National League for Democracy party leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The release of political prisoners was a priority for the party when it took over power from a military junta in 2016.
The action was taken to mark the country's traditional New Year and to offer "humanitarian support," according to the country's deputy information minister.
The elderly, those in ill health, and drug offenders were amongst those freed.
Some 6,000 detainees serving drugs-related sentences and nearly 2,000 military and police personnel were also released.
Thirty-six of those freed had been listed as political prisoners by the independent Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).
Win Myint became president in March after his predecessor, Htin Kyaw, stepped down due to illness.
The daughter of Myanmar's assassinated founding father, Aung San Suu Kyi returned to her home country in the 1980s after studying and starting a family in England. She became a key figure in the 1988 uprisings against the country's military dictatorship. Her National League for Democracy (NLD) was victorious in 1990 elections but the government refused to honor the vote.
Suu Kyi spent 15 of the 21 years between 1989 and 2010 under house arrest. After 1995, the rights advocate was barred from seeing her two sons and husband, Michael Aris, even after the latter was diagnosed with cancer.
Suu Kyi's determination to bring democracy and human rights to her country won her international renown, including the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. She was so popular that in 2011 famous French director Luc Besson made a biopic of her life starring Michelle Yeoh. She was often called the world's most famous political prisoner.
Decades of campaigning finally paid off and in 2012 Suu Kyi was allowed to run in free elections. She won a seat in parliament as Myanmar began its transition away from military government. Since general elections in 2015 she has been the country's de facto civilian leader, although officially she is the foreign minister and state counsellor under President Htin Kyaw.
Rohingya are a mostly Muslim ethnic group who had their citizenship revoked by Myanmar's Buddhist-majority government in 1982. Long persecuted, their plight intensified in 2016 when the military began what it calls "clearance" of illegal immigrants - but what groups like Human Rights Watch have described as "ethnic cleansing." Thousands have died and hundreds of thousands have fled their homes.
When she became state counsellor in 2016, Suu Kyi set up a commission to investigate claims of atrocities against the Rohingya in Rakhine state. Suu Kyi has accused the Rohingya of spreading "a huge iceberg of misinformation," and that she is concerned by the "terrorist threat" posed by extremists. Her stance sparked protests in Muslim-majority countries around the world.
Suu Kyi has been stripped of various honors and lost much of her international support due to her handling of the Rohingya crisis. The Nobel committee was forced to issue a statement saying that her peace prize could not be revoked. Fellow Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai called on Suu Kyi to "stop the violence." Suu Kyi has said that outsiders do not grasp the complexities of the situation.
The AAPP welcomed and supported the release of political prisoners. "But there should not be a single political prisoner in a democratic country," said the organization's Myanmar representative Aung Myo Kyaw. "It will be better if remaining political prisoners and also those who are still facing charges were pardoned."
Suu Kyi said that releasing the remaining political prisoners was a top priority.
How many political prisoners are in Myanmar?
At the end of last month, there were 248. Fifty-four of those were serving sentences, 74 awaiting trial inside prison and 120 on bail, according to AAPP figures.
Who will not be released?
Two reporters from the international news organization Reuters facing trial for possessing secret official documents were not included in the amnesty because of ongoing legal proceedings. They had been arrested while reporting on a military crackdown in the northern Rakhine state which has prompted more than 660,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee to bordering Bangladesh and claimed around 6,700 lives. A pre-trial hearing in a Yangon court is scheduled for Friday. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.
Aung San Suu Kyi holds the title of state counselor, a position created for Suu Kyi following the 2016 election. She is constitutionally barred from serving as president because her two children are British, as was her late husband.
London-based global human rights organization Amnesty International has stripped Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi of its Ambassador of Conscience Award. The cause is her apparent indifference to atrocities.
A court in Myanmar has passed a death sentence against two men involved in the assassination of prominent Muslim lawyer Ko Ni, a close aide of de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The suspected mastermind remains at large.
Canada's parliament revoked Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi's honorary citizenship. It comes as the world's top court conducts a preliminary probe into the mass exodus of the Rohingya people from Myanmar.

The Trouble with the Agenda of the Democratic Party
January 30, 2018 January 30, 2018 / DFLA
by Diane R. Pagen
Democrats For Life of America has invited me to explain how I came to know of Democrats for Life and why I will go to the conference in Denver in 2018. I don't write to evoke sadness, but to motivate you to act. I want you to attend the Democrats for Life conference in Denver. This is really a matter of life and death; despite the importance of creating a more compassionate and just system, Americans all over are losing their will to fight, for one, and I think coming together with people who are still willing to talk is vital now. Despair isn't going to get us anywhere. While we despair, the Democratic Party is teaching young people that the death penalty is always wrong but that abortion is always right. Single parents are told that someone will fight for them to have "better paying jobs" while we know that in the current economy, wages that sustain life are less and less possible. No matter your religion, political party, or background, there is no way to justify the termination of a million pregnancies a year in the modern United States. The Democratic Party justifies abortion while it actively ignores the poverty that leads to many abortions. The Party no longer shapes its agenda through logic, humanity and justice.
The Democratic Party Platform is an agenda of economic exploitation of the poor, regression in matters of children's rights and racial discrimination. If they read this, they will claim I am a radical, a wacko; they will act offended by my comments and restate that they are the Party that cares about children, especially poor children and children of color. Don't believe it. I have been an Independent, a Democrat, and a Republican all, trying to find the party that best represents my views. My only non-negotiables in choosing a Party, whether it be a party with a little "p" or a big "p" is that nobody gets hurt. I officially changed my party to Republican last year, when I was horrified that the DNC was aiding one candidate, Clinton, over Sanders. At the time, it had not been proven, but there were a lot of clues. Now it has been confirmed, and my disgust with the elite Democrats has been cemented, aided by the fact that neither Ms. Wasserman Schultz, nor Ms. Clinton, nor Ms. Brazile have atoned. In fact, Ms. Brazile opted for saving her own skin, and throwing Wasserman Shultz and Secretary Clinton under the bus. The only reason I am changing my party back to the Democratic Party is because of Democrats for Life. Continue reading →
The March for Life 2018 through the eyes of a teen
January 24, 2018 / DFLA
****The author is a sixteen-year-old sophomore who attends Bishop O'Connell High School in Falls Church, Virginia
The March for Life was an amazing experience, just as it was last year. It really builds up one's confidence to be part of something so big and inspirational. My day began at 6 a.m. when I woke up to get ready. I left at 7 with my mom to meet up with my junior friend at O'Connell High School, where we also saw some others walking inside to meet everyone going on the bus – for example, my freshman friend Sarah. My friend Erin had gotten dropped off, and we left for D.C.
We went to Old Ebbitt Grill, where breakfast was served in a private room. Tammy Ruiz gave a presentation about perinatal hospice. Perinatal hospice is a preparation of parents who choose life for their babies with life-threatening conditions that give them less than a day or an hour to live. It made me feel even more supportive of the Pro-life Movement to find out that such a thing existed.
The Shy Whole-Lifer
November 15, 2017 November 15, 2017 / DFLA
by Lois Kerschen
One thing we hear fairly often from pro-life Democrats is that they are sympathetic to the work of our organization, but they do not want to go public with their pro-life beliefs because of possible repercussions (I'm not talking about politicians here – that's a whole 'nother discussion).
An aunt of mine once recommended that I remove my pro-life Democrat bumper sticker from my car because "People might not invite you to lunch." So, if you don't want to miss lunch with your friends and colleagues who might consider you to be some kind of religious fanatic if you express pro-life views, there are other ways you can achieve the goals of DFLA and of your own convictions without looking radical but instead like a really caring, innovative person who knows how to solve problems in a way that is acceptable to all.
Abortion, Policy and the Rights I Dream About Having
September 1, 2017 September 1, 2017 / DFLA
by Diane R. Pagen, LMSW
Do you think that abortion is a joyful and liberating experience, akin to a yoga retreat? This is what abortion rights activists often sound like they are telling us to think. Must you think so, in order to preserve the right to have one? This is the impression I get from celebrities who fancy themselves women's rights activists. Celebrities, though their opinions are no more informed (and maybe even less informed) than the average person, get media coverage for every statement that they make about any controversial public issue, including one as important and contentious as abortion.
Sometimes those statements are reckless. An example is the writer/actress Lena Dunham, who earlier this year got a few days of media coverage by stating that she wished she had had an abortion already because to have had one would make her a better advocate for women's abortion rights. The fact that she thinks she knows exactly the effect that terminating a pregnancy would have on her is naïve beyond belief, yet women like Dunham tell the rest of America that women's empowerment starts by taking lightly a matter so personally and socially difficult as abortion. Damn, she makes having an abortion sound like a virtual rite of passage for people who care about women's rights.
Why I am Walking in the Women's March as a Pro-life Feminist
by Lisa Stiller
On Saturday, Jan 21 I will join over a million of people taking part in one of over 600 women marches being held throughout the nation, organized as a protest of the "Trump Agenda". I am walking as a pro-life feminist.
Depending on the city, the marches have different organizers. But most of the marches have at least one prominent organizer at the forefront that is affiliated with a pro-abortion organization (Planned Parenthood, NARAL, etc). The rallying cry for most includes wording clearly referencing "protecting women's health", "protecting reproductive choice", "marching against the war on women," all code for protecting abortion "rights".
Because of the endorsement of abortion, at first, I was hesitant to join. But because abortion does not define a women's agenda, I decided that as a pro-life feminist, I had so many reasons to stand up to everything Trump and his administration stand for. In fact, the Women's March website lists "reproductive freedom" as one of 12 huge injustices they are standing up against.
Are There "Benefits" to Abortion?
October 20, 2016 October 21, 2016 / DFLA
By Matt Tuman
Lost in the presidential race this year was what happened this summer in the Illinois state legislator. Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law Senate Bill 1564, which made abortion the preference for unintended pregnancies in Illinois. The bill stipulates that all doctors, hospitals and pregnancy centers not only provide information on abortion and where it is available, but also discuss the 'benefits' of abortion. If the doctor or center is morally or religiously opposed to abortion, they still must either refer the patient to another provider, transfer them to another provider or provide them with information on locations that will offer abortion.
This law amounts to total hypocrisy on the pro-choice community. Their major argument is that the government should not be involved in women's health decisions and that those decisions should be left between the woman and her doctor. However, with the passage of this law they take that decision making process away by forcing what the doctor has to say even if he has moral or religious objections to it.
Making All Lives Matter
by Julie Locascio
Bitter political and social conflicts may not be new, but we may be seeing unprecedented levels of vitriol because of the ability of anonymous angry people to take their attitudes to extreme positions online. Even people posting in their own name find new courage to level cruel broadsides because they can find an enthusiastic echo chamber to "like" and pass along everything they say. So where do people of modest temperament find space to reflect on and calmly discuss public policy? For many of us, it is not in our preferred political party.
In a world of "competing" hashtags saying #blacklivesmatter, #bluelivesmatter, #migrantlivesmatter, #womenslivesmatter, #babieslivesmatter, etc., some of us keep wondering why any of these things need to be said. The answer, sadly, is that political parties in our country do not embrace a consistent ethic of life where #alllivesmatter. And the reason for that is that candidates who embrace a consistent ethic of life are attacked so viciously in the primaries that they rarely get a chance to present their platforms in a general election.

A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a collaboratively developed plan that identifies wildland fire hazards, prioritizes way to reduce those hazards and recommends measures for homeowners and communities to reduce ignitability of structures. DFSC has been working with community members and agency partners during 2017 to focus the existing Alameda County plan adopted in 2012 on Sunol. See Planning Process for more detail.
1. The plan is the opportunity to influence where and how federal agencies implement fuel reduction project on federal lands.
2. The plan establishes priority for funding of hazardous fuel reduction projects and allows stakeholders to coordinate their activities. The Sunol Wildfire Action allows us to focus the 2012 Alameda County Community Wildfire Protection Plan to address specific high fire hazard areas in the Sunol community to reduce the risk of loss of life and property due to wildfire. Since the Alameda County Plan was adopted, DFSC was able to secure grants for a program to fund neighborhood projects create defensible space. To learn more about this program see Vegetation Removal.
We hope you can join us as we implement the plan to reduce the impact of wildfire on our Alameda County communities. To be added to our mailing list to hear about future events contact: Cheryl Miller, DFSC Executive Director. DFSCMiller@comcast.net phone: 510-282-1265.

Roll Call: Week of Nov. 18
By Voterama in Congress
Here's how North Carolina members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending Nov. 22.
REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING: Voting 235 for and 187 against, the House on Nov. 20 passed a GOP bill (HR 2728) to prohibit federal regulation on federal and tribal lands of the energy-extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, a boom industry in many states in which chemical fluids are injected deep into the earth to break loose previously unrecoverable oil and gas deposits. Now before the Senate, the bill gives states sole authority to regulate `fracking,' as the process is called, on or under federal and tribal lands within their boundaries.
A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is likely to die.
Voting yes: Republicans Renee Ellmers, Walter Jones, Virginia Foxx, Howard Coble, Richard Hudson, Robert Pittenger, Patrick McHenry, Mark Meadows and George Holding and Democrat Mike McIntyre
Voting no: Democrats G.K. Butterfield, David Price, Melvin Watt
DISCLOSURES OF "FRACKING" CHEMICALS: Voting 188 for and 232 against, the House on Nov. 20 defeated a bid by Democrats to require detailed public disclosures about hydraulic-fracturing, or `fracking,' operations on federal and non-federal lands. Under the motion to HR 2728 (above), the Department of Interior could require disclosure of the chemicals used in fluids, details on the disposal of fluids that return to the earth's surface and other chemical and environmental information about specific projects.
A yes vote supported federally required disclosures about fracking chemicals.
Voting yes: Butterfield, Jones, Price, McIntyre, Watt
Voting no: Ellmers, Foxx, Coble, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
NATURAL GAS PIPELINE PERMITS: Voting 252 for and 165 against, the House on Nov. 21 passed a bill (HR 1900) setting deadlines for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other agencies to act on applications for building natural gas pipelines. FERC, the overall permitting and licensing agency for pipeline projects, would have to approve or deny applications within one year of their submission or face legal consequences. And agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management and Army Corps of Engineers would face deadlines of 90 days to complete environmental reviews and other evaluations of pipeline applications. There are no statutory deadlines in present law for acting on pipeline applications.
A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is likely to be shelved.
Voting yes: Ellmers, Jones, Foxx, Coble, McIntyre, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
Voting no: Butterfield, Price, Watt
PIPELINE SAFETY, SITING CERTIFICATION: Voting 180 for and 233 against, the House on Nov. 21 defeated a motion by Democrats to delay implementation of HR 1900 (above) until the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) certifies it will not result in the construction of unsafe pipelines or deny communities a voice in determining the location of pipelines within their boundaries.
A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.
North Carolina voting yes: Butterfield, Price, McIntyre, Watt
Voting no: Ellmers, Jones, Foxx, Coble, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
"NUCLEAR OPTION" RULES CHANGE: Voting 52 for and 48 against, the Senate on Nov. 21 weakened its filibuster rules to set a simple-majority, up-or-down vote as the new standard for advancing executive-branch nominees as well as judicial nominees other than Supreme Court selections. This virtually erased the 60-vote threshold for invoking cloture and thus ending filibusters against presidential nominees. But the 60-vote hurdle will continue to apply to filibusters against legislation. This rules change was dubbed "the nuclear option" because it is a politically explosive rollback of longstanding minority rights in the Senate.
A yes vote was to immediately put into effect a simple-majority standard for advancing presidential nominees.
Voting yes: Democrat Kay Hagan
Voting no: Republican Richard Burr
PATRICIA MILLETT FILIBUSTER: Voting 55 for and 43 against, the Senate on Nov. 21 invoked cloture on a previously successful Republican filibuster of the nomination of Patricia Ann Millett to sit on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. This was the Senate's first vote on a nominee after it changed its filibuster rules (above). The vote cleared the way for a simple-majority, up-or-down vote next month on Millett's nomination to fill one of three vacancies on what is regarded as the most powerful of the 13 federal appeals courts.
A yes vote was to end a GOP filibuster against Millett.
Voting yes: Hagan
Voting no: Burr
ROBERT WILKINS FILIBUSTER: Voting 53 for and 38 against, the Senate on Nov. 18 failed to reach 60 votes needed to end Republican blockage of the nomination of federal judge Robert Wilkins to join the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Wilkins, 50, is now a district court (trial) judge in that circuit. This was the Senate's final vote on a nominee under the 60-vote cloture rule. Three days later, Democratic senators changed that standard to require only simple-majority votes to advance presidential nominees, and a revote that would confirm Wilkins is expected within weeks.
The D.C. court is regarded as the most influential of the 13 federal appeals court, in part because it rules on challenges to federal regulations. The 11-seat tribunal has four judges nominated by Republican presidents, four chosen by Democratic presidents and three vacancies. As a result of the rules change, Wilkins, Patricia Millett (see vote above) and Georgetown Law Professor Cornelia Pillard are on course to fill those vacancies by year's end.
A yes vote supported the Wilkins nomination.
GOP FILIBUSTER OF MILITARY BUDGET: Voting 51 for and 44 against, the Senate on Nov. 21 failed to reach 60 votes needed to end a Republican filibuster of a bill (S 1197) to authorize a $625.1 billion military budget for fiscal 2014, which began Oct. 1. The bill includes $80.7 billion for actions in Afghanistan, Iraq and other war zones and up to $60 billion for active-duty and retirement healthcare and funds a 1 percent pay raise for uniformed personnel. The bill was mired in a dispute over the number of amendments Republicans would be allowed to offer. The Senate was to resume debate on the bill Dec. 9.
A yes vote was to advance the bill.
GUANTANAMO BAY PRISONERS: Voting 43 for and 55 against, the Senate on Nov. 19 refused to extend a congressional ban on the transfer of prisoners from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to "super-max" incarceration in the United States. Proposed to S 1197 (above), the amendment also prohibited transfers from Guantanamo to Yemen, where the U.S. and Yemeni governments are preparing a prison and rehabilitation facility to receive Guantanamo detainees. President Obama vowed in his 2008 presidential campaign to close Guantanamo, but Congress has repeatedly blocked his efforts to do so, leaving the existing roll of about 164 suspected or convicted terrorists in indefinite detention.
A yes vote was to extend a ban on detainee transfers out of Guantanamo.
Voting yes: Hagan, Burr
Congress is in Thanksgiving Day recess in the week of Nov. 25.


Bears are recognized by conservationists as a keystone species.
with plenty of food to forage and space to wander.
We feel a kinship with these bears because, to us, a pantry stocked with real, nourishing food is the sign of a healthy family leading an active life. It's part of the reason we're called Kodiak Cakes.
Every year we donate a portion of our profits to conservation efforts, spearheaded by organizations like Vital Ground. We're dedicated to encouraging healthy ecosystems, be it in your kitchen or wherever the frontier still thrives.
Located near our home in Park City, Utah, Bonanza Flat is 1,350 acres of open mountain meadows, stands of quaking aspen, and countless wildflowers. When the area came under threat of development, we jumped (or ran) at the opportunity to help preserve this area.
By partnering with Park City Trail Series, we sponsored a 5K trail race that raised $10,000 that went towards the purchase of the area. We feel privileged to have played some part in the collective effort to create what has become known as the Bonanza Flat Conservation Area.

Candidates face off in 9th Congressional District Debate
by: Madonna Mantione
JENKINS TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The race for the seat in the 9th Congressional District is heating up.
An enthusiastic live audience gathered inside WVIA Studios near Pittston Friday night as incumbent Republican Dan Meuser and Democratic challenger Amanda Waldman took to the stage.
Lead I-team reporter Andy Mehalshick served as a debate panelist.
District 9 is currently represented by Congressman Dan Meuser who is seeking his third term in the house.
"In Washington, I'm your voice. I am your consistent conservative voice and your conservative vote, you can count on it. Now folks, I think we can all appreciate and understand, our country is in a very, very dire position," said Congressman Dan Meuser (R) 9th congressional District Candidate.
Amanda Waldman is a lifelong resident of Lycoming County and was raised on her family's farm.
"I'm running now not as a politician, I'm running as a public servant because regardless of party, you can be green, independent, republican, democrat, none of us have representation in our own government," stated Amanda Waldman, (D) 9th Congressional District Candidate.
During the hour-long debate, the candidates discussed hot topics like the economy, inflation, and election integrity.
"We need to reverse this course and do the things that we know work and that's why we must have a republican house, it's a big step in the right direction as well as a republican senate," Meuser said.
"I'm not running for a party, I swear I'm not. I'm running for the people and it's about time we start electing more people who just want to serve, who are just like you and I," Waldman argued.
The 9th Congressional District cuts through the commonwealth from the New York border down into Lebanon County in the southeastern part of the state.
The midterm election is November 8th.

Best Boss I Ever Had
Having written about the worst boss I ever had, I thought I would balance things out a little with an article about the best boss I ever had.
I was fortunate to work for him for 4 years and I can say, they were the best four years of my career.
In all the time I worked for him, he always made me feel like we worked together, like I worked with him, rather than for him.
He was so confident in his own position, that he never felt the need to prove each and everyday that he was the boss. We worked together as equals, it was just that if we had a difference of opinion that he would have the final say, and he never made a big deal about it.
He showed great respect; valued my opinion; he asked and never demanded; he made me feel safe so that I was prepared to try new things; any criticism was always constructive and never personal; all of this allowed me to grow as a leader and take things to the next level.
What surprised me about him was that he was never able to do this with many others, most people saw him as arrogant and distant; but in reality he was just shy and didn't feel comfortable when dealing with large groups of people.
He never felt comfortable enough to let down his guard, and be vulnerable like he was with me and 2 others. If he could have done that he would not only have been the best boss that I ever had, he would have been an outstanding leader, rather than just a good leader.
Unfortunately, after 4 years, we lost that intimacy; he believed a few rumours about me wanting his job, felt that I was undermining him; but this was just the work of a few people who were jealous of the relationship that we had.
But once that trust was gone, it was impossible for us to continue to work together, and I had to look to leave.
In reality, I did want his job; but only if he was promoted, I loved working with him, it gave me the freedom to be the best that I could be, so why would I want to change that.
I always found it strange that he believed people he didn't trust, and chose not to believe the person he did trust. I guess this was a self confidence issue.
Sadly, after having spent 4 years where we were spoke together at least an hour day, now I never speak with him, I would say in the last 4 years I have not spoken more than 1 hour in total to him.
I am sure we both regret it, but once the trust has gone it's difficult to get it back.
But as they say, "it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all", and I am happy to have had the experience and pleasure of working with him, even though we no longer speak today.
If you're looking to improve your leadership or your results the please call me on +1 561 501 0888 or email me at gordon@gordontredgold.com to arrange a free strategy session to get you started.

Following the release into service by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) outlined its own process for the Boeing 737 MAX to return.
EASA drafts 737 MAX return conditions, differences with FAA
Rytis Beresnevicius
on 25th November 2020
Image : kamilpetran / Shutterstock.com
While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) essentially un-grounded the Boeing 737 MAX in the United States, other countries' aviation regulators were not so keen to do so. Europe's own European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was one of the regulators to indicate that it would conduct its own review of the aircraft. Now, EASA has laid out the steps before the 737 MAX can return to service in Europe.
The agency published a Proposed Airworthiness Directive (PAD) on November 24, 2020. While the PAD is very similar to the one that the FAA published on November 18, 2020, there are some key differences. For one, flight crews would be able to shut off the stick shaker if the flight system onboard the aircraft erroneously activated it. This was done to prevent distracting the crew, noted EASA's press release. In addition, the stick shaker circuit breakers, which disable it, will have to have colored caps installed in order to distinguish them. Furthermore, airlines are banned from using a Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP-AR) approach.
"EASA has gathered factual evidence that, upon single failure of an AoA sensor during an RNP-AR approach, all flight guidance that allows the pilot to guide the airplane along the intended flight path is lost," thus the flight crew cannot ensure that the aircraft's trajectory would not wander from the tolerated lateral deviation during the approach. The measure is temporary, according to the agency.
BREAKING: FAA un-grounds the Boeing 737 MAX
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ungrounded the Boeing 737 MAX, allowing it to enter commercial service again.
Someway to go
While the PAD is one of the last chapters in the Boeing 737 MAX grounding story, the aircraft and its operators have a few steps to complete before it can return to service.
Much like the FAA, EASA outlined that airlines are required to install software updates for the Flight Control Computer (FCC), which includes updates to the now-infamous Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), and a separate update to showcase an Angle of Attack (AoA) DISAGREE ALERT on the flight deck. In addition, wiring that runs from the cockpit to the stabilizer trim motor will also have to be separated physically.
Mirroring the United States-based regulator's directive, airlines will also have to update their Aircraft Flight Manuals (AFM) to include the newest changes to the operational procedures. Before pilots can hop onboard and fly the aircraft commercially, they will have to go through mandatory flight and ground training in a full-flight simulator (FFS) and operate a readiness flight to "ensure that all design changes have been correctly implemented and the aircraft successfully and safely brought out of its long period of storage," according to EASA.
A system test of the AoA sensors will also have to be completed.
For third-country operators (TCO), EASA has released a Proposed Safety Directive (PSD). They will have to follow the steps outlined in the PSD, if they want to fly the Boeing 737 MAX into the airspace of EASA member states.
Both the PAD and the PSD are open for public comment until December 22, 2020. Subsequently, the agency will have to respond to any public concerns and only then publish a final Airworthiness Directive (AD), finally un-grounding the aircraft in Europe.
"The timing for that is somewhere around the end of 2020 or early-2021," an EASA spokesperson told AeroTime News in an email on November 18, 2020. "This publication will constitute the un-grounding for Europe from the EASA side."
According to Boeing's Order and Deliveries data, there are 64 already-built Boeing 737 MAX aircraft delivered to European airlines. The largest fleet of the Boeing 737 MAX belongs to Norwegian Air Shuttle with 18 aircraft, while Ryanair has 18 built, but yet not delivered units, according to planespotters.net data.
EASA clarifies Boeing 737 MAX un-grounding timeline
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) clarified the situation with the Boeing 737 MAX in Europe, indicating that there is a long way to go before the aircraft is once again allowed to fly in the continent.

A case of gangliocytic paraganglioma in duodenum
Jie Hyun Kim, Hee Man Kim, Si Young Song, Yoon Jae Kim, Chang Hoon Hahn, Seung Woo Park, Jae Bock Chung, Jin Kyung Kang, Woo Jung Lee, Nam Hoon Cho
Duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma derived from neural crest is a peculiar neuroendocrine tumor. It is incidentally found during radiographic studies or due to gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by frequent ulceration of the overlying mucosa. Most lesions are pedunculated and submucosal with distinctive histology consisting of endocrine cells, ganglion cells and spindle-shaped Schwann cells. We experienced a duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma in a 40-year-old woman presenting with episodes of melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a submucosal ulcerated tumor in the second portion of duodenum and a biopsy confirmed gangliocytic paraganglioma. The tumor was enucleated through a duodenotomy. It's size was 5.5 X 3 X 1.5 cm sized and revealed positive cellular reaction for chromogranin, synaptophysin, neuron-specific enolase, and neurofilament by immunohistochemistry. The majority of the reported duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma were of benign nature. Therefore, radical surgery or a lymph node dissection could be avoided if that disease was confirmed. However, thorough investigation for lymph node metastasis and postoperative follow-up are needed. We report the first case of a duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma in Korea with a review of literature.

Looking forward to her upcoming film Yashoda, Samantha unveils her action adventures backed by a power-packed and intriguing concept and story. Playing a surrogate mother unraveling the secrets of the corrupt medical world, Samantha put up a promising stint with the teaser and trailer of Yashoda. Earlier showcasing glimpses of her action avatar in 'The Family Man', Samantha made her first pan-India appearance through the show which earned her immense accolades and appreciation.

Samantha says, "The most challenging part of shooting for Yashoda was the action sequences. I really enjoy doing action even though I never imagined I was meant to do action, but it is quite surprising and the love for the genre has been a revelation for me. Although it is gruesome, it offers a great adrenaline rush and there's a great sense of accomplishment to perform the stunts.

The first contracts supporting the construction of the wall at the southern border of the United States were awarded this past week. These contracts are to support two specific sections of the border wall surveyed last month in Yuma, Arizona and the New Mexico part of the El Paso sector. The funds for these contracts are coming from the $1 billion recently awarded by the U.S. Pentagon.
The Army Corps of Engineers awarded $789 million to the Galveston, Texas company SLSCO Ltd. for "border replacement wall construction" in El Paso. It also awarded $187 million to the Barnard Construction Co. Inc. of Bozeman, Montana for "design-bid-build construction project for primary pedestrian wall replacement in Arizona.

10 quirky places that tell the story of England
November 6, 2017 telegraph Leave a Comment
People love to travel. Increasingly, evidence tells us that historic populations were zigzagging across continents the whole time, so it is brilliantly appropriate that Historic England's campaign Irreplaceable: A History of England in 100 Places, has a travel and tourism category that I'm honoured to have been asked to judge. Physiologically we're nomads, so charting where and how we've elected to travel through time is a fascinating experience. So how to choose from the gorgeous, fecund, fabulously eclectic longlist? With difficulty! Among my top 10 is a remnant from the dawn of the railway age in Darlington, an inn in Nottingham said to have been favoured by crusading knights, and a pier in Somerset once hailed by John Betjeman as the most beautiful in England. As a passionate advocate of the ancient world, I couldn't resist two locations that relate to the Romans: The Fosse Way, one of Britain's longest and most important Roman roads, and the … [Read more...] about 10 quirky places that tell the story of England

March 19, 2019 thesun Leave a Comment
A YOUNG woman visiting Walt Disney World sparked a real life version of Where's Wally? after she turned to Facebook for help tracking down her lost boyfriend. Brittany Blake and her boyfriend Regory Turco were spending the day at Epcot when they managed to get separated. In desperation to find her boyfriend — whose phone had reportedly died — Brittany turned to a Facebook group for Disney super fans for help. She wrote: "Weird post but lost my boyfriend in Epcot today and haven't been able to find him for hours because his phone is dead. "If anyone sees him can they tell him to meet us at the Mexican pavilion? "PS — I'm the one who's nervous here because I hate being alone lmao. He's prob off drinking."

Doggers may soon have to find new place to meet
February 26, 2019 leicestermercury Leave a Comment
Villagers are tiring of a beauty spot near their homes being used by doggers - so have come up with a plan to reclaim the area. The area around Groby Pool has been an anti-social behaviour hotspot for more than 15 years. People arrange online to meet up for sex in the area while others using a former allotment site over the road to dump rubbish. The land has also been subject to court cases over illegal caravan sites. It has reached a stage where visitors say they are afraid to go there because of what they might stumble upon. But now the villagers of Groby are hoping to drive out the problems which have beset the area by creating a £1 million community centre with football pitches, bowling green and theatre. Two members of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Peter Batty and Martin Cartwright, are leading a steering group determined to push for the authority to buy the former allotment site – known as the Klondyke. They plan to then use housing developer contributions and … [Read more...] about Doggers may soon have to find new place to meet

Business to Business(B2B) Business To Consumer(B2C) are very popular words in marketing but when it comes to distinguish between two there is little bit confusion. In this post, I am will clarify the difference between both of them. From the figure, usually how business system works is shown.
Furthermore, to clarify more you distinguish a customer and a consumer.
Customer And Consumer- Those who buy product but do not use, for example, father buys a shirt for his son, and the son will actually use it, in this example, the father is a customer and son is a consumer.
Furthermore, a B2B transaction is between a big business firm to a small business firm in which small business firm that will not use product and will sell to consumers(End Users) for benefit. However, in a B2C transaction a small firm sells products to consumers.


Have you taken your vitamins today? While Kalium probably won't help stave off a bout of scurvy, it certainly will perk up your code. Kalium is a reactive framework designed for Java and Apache Spark.
Quick – what's the atomic element number 19? It's been a while since chemistry class, but potassium does a lot of heavy lifting in your everyday life. Today, we're giving your code a boost with Kalium, a reactive framework for Java and Apache Spark.
Kalium is a neo-Latin word for potassium, a soft, silvery-white metal that is chemically reactive. (And, frankly, kind of explosive. Don't add it to water.) It's a helpful addition to the microservices ecosystem, making it simpler for asynchronous microservices to interact.
Developers can use Kalium to help manage their asynchronous data flows. But how does it work? This framework utilizes existing queue technology as a scalable event bus.
Event-driven architecture is mainly about delivering and processing events asynchronously. Kalium uses Apache Kafka as the underlying event bus, which promises a 'guaranteed and ordered delivery'.
Essentially, Kalium uses the @On annotations to define out out-of-the-box serializer/de-serializer for the event classes. The condition that is specified inside the @On annotation is then translated into a generated queue listener based on the underlying queue that it uses.
So, what kind of use cases does this framework support? The basic example is for online shopping. Kalium creates reactive microservices that help navigate the issues of payments and receipts. So, once a customer gets to the checkout page, they send a payment. When the payment is processed, the reactive framework needs to ensure a receipt is sent.
Trying out Kalium is about as easy as heading to your local pharmacy and picking up a bottle of vitamins. Kalium's Maven group ID is io.alkal and its artifact ID is kalium-kafka.
Kalium is an open source project and relies on contributions from developers like you. Head on over to GitHub for questions, comments, and compliments.

Its super strong Flywire cables work together with the laces to make sure the Pegasus delivers a snug support. Also, and of course, the firm heel-cup allows you to gain extra stability when running.
Loyal to its roots, the extra cushion (now obtained due to the Zoom Air units) in the forefoot and heel also help you. It is all there to give you a little push forward as you run.
For last but not least, you will be able to find a rubber strip along the bottom of the shoe. A feature that also helps you transition from heel to toe, while small cuts are also present, offering a flexible on-feet feel.
It is an extremely comfortable shoe, and it weighs just 285g, a magic combination. Available in many colorways, this is your go-to option if you are in need of a durable silhouette.
If you plan to start running, or if you just plan to get a new pair to keep on going with your running. The super responsive-natured Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34 is for you. It works both ways, trust us.
Nike Pegasus History
It all started in 1983 when the first and original Pegasus was released. One key aspect to have in mind was the fact that the silhouette was delivered with a nylon upper, weighing under 300g.
It was brought altogether with a light suede panel, increasing durability. After all, that is just why they were built – for running.
It was designed by Mark Parker and Bruce Kilgore who was working also on the Air Force 1, the first basketball shoe with air technology. Its simple design instead of the usual flashy and flamboyant ones became a vital component for years to come.
Furthermore, the original Pegasus was pretty cheap, costing around $50. Nike's ultimate goal has always been to make this the "shoe for every runner".

Nike Air Pegasus History (the Pegasus becomes Air Pegasus):
Five years passed and another iteration of the Pegasus was released. However, its key aspect was an EVA Foam midsole. As it was launched around the same time as the Air Max 1, the shoe was also renamed to Air Pegasus.
One important fact to mention is the fact that the Air Pegasus did not have a full air midsole, but it delivers twice as much cushioning than his big brother, the Air Max 1. Impressive, is it not?
Within weeks, millions were sold across America. The Nike Air Pegasus was by then considered Nike's top-selling shoe.
As its popularity rose, many iterations started to flood the market. Namely, there were the synthetic leather upper ones equipped with a rubber toe guard.
A feature offering runners another option when running in harsher weather conditions. Even if slightly more expensive, $70, the revamped silhouette was a success.
(Nike Air Pegasus – 1988)
Nowadays, the silhouette tends to slip under the radar. But in 1988, the Nike Air Pegasus was really considered Nike's most popular shoe.
Everyone was stocking pairs, making sure that the runner's favorite shoe was kept for as long as they could. Sure, they were released almost every year, but Nike worked in a way that every runner maintained their interest.
After all, one of the most coveted releases of the bunch is the 1989 iteration. Updated with a soft and breathable upper and a Nike Air midsole, they were released in quite a few colorways thereafter.
As soon as the 90s kicked in, Nike kept on going. They were right in just believing that the Air Pegasus would still be amongst the best running silhouettes of all time.
Steve Spence, a long-distance runner who won Bronze at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics mentioned that the Air Pegasus was his favorite training shoe. On the other hand, we should add that the 1991 iteration was a mix with the 89′ and the yet to release 92′.
The shoe displayed a plastic side paneling and innovative reinforcements on the midsole that the 89′ lacked. Year after year, they just kept on getting better.
Why not some quick Maths as well? 10 years after its original release, Nike sold 17 million pairs of the Air Pegasus. Although, the higher you go, the bigger the fall.
Nike started to feel that way as way too many releases and iterations were releasing. Unfortunately, they were not satisfying their customers. The team went back to the lab and by 1995, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus came back at full speed.
The new version displayed a Phylon midsole and carbon rubber outsole. Air technology was also becoming more and more popular among runners and enthusiasts, so there's only one possible outcome.
In 1996 and 1997, a new version was released with a visible air unit. From then onwards, the sky was the limit, believe us!
From the point where the Pegasus stopped being produced up 'till the year 2000, once released again, it was taken from the tracks to the streets. The running silhouette has now become a bit more casual and even if track-ready, everyone was wearing them with a pair of Levi's.
Eventually, there's hype and there are the models you like the most. Around here, apart from the 1989 release, the 2004 iteration seems to be our favorite.
Placing function over aesthetics (we sure love how they look, nevertheless), this new silhouette performs just like its siblings, if not better. Small changes were applied such as a lower arch and a lighter and breathable mesh upper.
Additionally and, for the first time, the WMNS version was also updated to match the female anatomy.
Selected as the Runner's World International Editor's Choice for Shoe of the Year, the Nike Air Pegasus 2006 placed protection and durability over cushion and flexibility. A few years back, some runners complained that they were way to soft, hence these updates.
Featuring a full-length air unit across the midsole right in between a foam base layer, these minor changes made the silhouette truly next level. Some models were also built with a Nike+ spot where a sensor could be inserted and re-direct information to your iPod with regards to mileage run, speed etc, all downloadable to your laptop.
As much as technology started to develop in terms of "software", the Pegasus started to be built with "hardware", having a positive impact when on feet. In other words, Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 launched in 2005 was updated with Flywire technology altogether with a heel counter providing a secure fit as well as a ready-molded sock liner, allowing for a custom fit.
(Nike Air Pegasus+ 25 – 2008)
From that point onwards, every single release remained true to its DNA, as in, a minimal on-feet beauty, however with a contemporary twist crafted with current materials, such as hyperfuse (originally introduced to basketball during 2010) and Zoom technology.
Plus, Mo Farah also states that up until now, it has been his favorite silhouette. To conclude we can say that the Pegasus is without a doubt one of the best running silhouettes of all time.

A slip and fall is an unexpected and often painful accident that can lead to hospital bills, medical bills and ongoing rehabilitation costs. If the accident occurred on another individual's property, it's very possible that the owner's negligent failure to properly maintain the property or to warn of hazardous conditions caused or contributed to the slip & fall. As you may know, property owners have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors, guests, and customers. As such, the owner may be obligated to compensate you for injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident if a breach of that duty caused the incident.
At Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A., our slip & fall accident lawyers take pride in providing legal services to the many diverse communities found in South Florida—including the Hispanic community. We recognize how intimidating it can be to interact with a property owner's insurance company following a slip and fall, especially if English is not your first language. We are committed to protecting the interests of members of the local Hispanic community, and we are ready to put our combined 35 years of experience to work for you and your family. Call on a Fort Lauderdale slip & falls lawyer at our office today.
You may be wondering about a property owner's duty of care, which can vary depending upon the reason why you were on the property. In Florida, there are three main categories into which people, um, fall.
A business invitee is a person who is on the premises to do business at an establishment (to dine at a restaurant, for example), or was specifically invited to the establishment. If you fall into this category, the business owner must maintain safe conditions, monitor and warn of any dangers, and correct any dangerous conditions (like water on the floor of a supermarket, for instance).
Licensees are individuals who are permitted to be on the property in question but are not conducting business. A good example is: attending a party. In this instance, the property owner is expected to warn you of known dangers but does not need to monitor for dangers.
As you probably know, trespassers are those individuals who enter property without permission. Since they are not permitted to be on the property, no duty is owed to them if they are injured in a slip and fall. The law does draw a distinction, though, between trespassers and child trespassers, so a property owner who knows his property may attract children has a duty to block off areas that could attract a child.
What Should You Do if You Slip & Fall in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Florida law tells us that a potential plaintiff has four years from the time of a slip and fall accident in which to file a personal injury lawsuit (Or two years if there was a fatality and a wrongful death claim is pursued).
He or she can also find out whether any other prior accidents were caused by unsafe conditions, and whether any other accidents have occurred on the property. He or she can also help you to document and quantify the injuries that you sustained.
If you have sustained an injury in a slip and fall accident—one that occurred on someone else's property—contact the experienced personal injury attorneys of Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A., via phone call or this online contact form, to discuss your case today. We offer a free initial consultation at our office in downtown Lake Worth, or we can travel to the hospital or to your home to meet at your convenience. And if English isn't your first language—or the first language of one or more interested family members—that's not a problem. Most of attorneys and staffers are bilingual, and Spanish is frequently spoken around our office.
FAQ: I was injured in a slip & fall accident at work in Fort Lauderdale. Can I sue my employer?
Generally speaking, an employee is not entitled to sure his or her employer in such an instance because the employer has what is referred to as worker's compensation immunity. The employee is likely limited to workman's comp benefits, which may cover medical bills and lost wages. But every case is different and you should consult with a slip & falls lawyer if you have questions.
FAQ: One of my family members passed away as a result of injuries suffered in a slip and fall accident. Can I file a lawsuit?
Yes, a survivor who loses a loved one may recover the value of lost support and service from the time of the accident to the time of death, as well as the loss of future support and services. You can bring a wrongful death lawsuit within two years of the date of the individual's death (not the accident date).


Epic is a great word to describe. What a day!!!
Breakfast at 7:15 for Jack and Santi as we have them guest play with a team from Houston and they play great. Lose 2-0 but both were stellar.
Brooke and Molly leave next for their game, win 3-0 and Molly scores.
Boys A next at 2:30 and we play the best club in Sweden, by far. And they are so cocky its insane. Well guess what, we are organized, disciplined and we win 2-1. Jackson scores first off a cross from Cannon and we are up 1-0 at half. We give up a goal first minute into 2nd half and Cory Wright scores on last kick of the game directly off a corner kick and we send this team to the showers in tears. Great crowd as you can imagine but we win and silence them. What a GREAT accomplishment winning this game, one of those that will stay with you for years.
Boys B next up and play a team from Norway and lose 2-0 and we dominate play and should have won, but did not finish our chances.
Dinner at 6:30 and then off to opening ceremonies. Hope ya'll had a chance to watch this as its unbelievable. 2 hours of singing, teams marching out, events, and fireworks. Hard to describe but put it this way; Every fan needs to see a World Cup and every soccer player needs to experience the Gothia Cup. the World Youth Cup. It is EPIC.
Kids in bed by 11 am and we play more games on Tuesday.
Have a great day and enjoy the pics.

PLP Architecture selected to design Holland's tallest timber tower with concrete core
Netherlands Architecture News - Jan 3, 2020 - 11:55 1865 views
PLP Architecture has won an international competition to design a mixed-use tower on a key redevelopment site in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Dubbed Tree House, reaches at 140-meters and 37 storeys tall and will be the tallest hybrid structure of Holland with its concrete core mixed with timber.
Developed by Provast, the project focusses on creating a lively, inspiring, open and sustainable environment for residents and visitors in the city centre. The project will be built next to the Central Station described as "the tallest hybrid structure in the country" and will be a bold new addition to the local area.
PLP Architecture's design features glazed facades punctuated by long external timber-clad balconies, including some connected by staircases to help animate its urban presence.
The upper levels will house 275 apartments, with 185 set aside for private rentals and 30% reserved for the mid-market sector. Below this, 15,000-square-metre of office space will be geared towards innovation and technology companies and include coworking areas curated by operator TQ.
A seventh-floor restaurant will face a lush planted terrace, while at the ground floor, shops, cafes and a multi-function events and performance space help to draw the public in and provide a mix of amenities for the city's use. The project team is working with De Dépendance, Rotterdam's diverse platform for culture and debate, to create socially relevant programming throughout.
"The building is being designed to stand at the forefront of architectural sustainability and will feature a part-timber structure with a concrete core, significant reused and recycled materials, rainwater collection and reuse and CO2 storage," said PLP Architecture.
External balconies and terraces will feature plantings and greenery, spreading up towards a crown of three glazed greenhouses filled with trees and gardens to emphasise a commitment to biodiversity.
"We enjoy designing buildings that push boundaries, and this is an innovative, sustainable, mixed-use tower, with a hybrid timber structure, almost on top of Rotterdam's Central Station - a new typology for future cities," said Partner Ron Bakker from PLP Architecture.
The project was selected from a group of three international team submissions including UN Studio and Group A. Construction is expected to begin in 2021, with completion in 2024.

Year 2: Lake Huron Atlantic salmon program underway
By Howard Meyerson
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Atlantic salmon will again be stocked at four Lake Huron locations in 2014. State officials are gearing up for the second round in a five-year experiment to determine if an Atlantic salmon fishery can be created there.
Approximately 100,000 yearling Atlantics were planted in the lake during the spring of 2013, but none appeared in the catch so far, according to state fisheries officials.
"We expect that all that to start rolling next summer," said Todd Grischke, the Lake Huron basin coordinator for the Michigan DNR. "A lot can happen between now and then, but we will be evaluating the harvest each of the next two seasons and weaving that information into a long-term plan of where to go.
"Next year we are looking at stocking 130,000 yearlings. And, if all goes well, we will look at a 150,000 more in 2015 and stick to the same study design."
Atlantic salmon may help fill the fisheries gap that was created in Lake Huron when Chinook salmon population collapsed in 2003 and 2004. Grischke and others are hopeful that they will fare better being a more opportunistic feeder. Chinook salmon rely on alewives which virtually disappeared. Atlantics are also thought a good compliment to the multi-species fishery that is developing in Lake Huron now. Walleye, steelhead, perch and some Chinooks are all being caught.
STOCKING TO INCREASE OVER NEXT TWO YEARS
The 2014 plan calls for increasing Atlantic stocking at each of the four locales that got them this year. The St. Mary's River will get 50,000 yearlings in 2014, up from 35,000. Alpena/Thunder Bay will get 25,000 instead of 20,000, and the Au Sable River will get 35,000, up from 30,000. Lexington will get 20,000 rather than 15,000.
"I'm really excited about it," said Frank Krist, an avid angler from Rogers City and the chairman of the Lake Huron Citizen's Advisory Committee, a group of anglers convened by the DNR for discussion and review. The group recently reviewed the plan.
"The fish stocked this (past) spring will be big enough to be caught in the 2014 spring fishery," Krist said. "And next fall about 30 to 50 percent of those fish will be mature enough to return to the stocking sites to spawn."

Status of the Lake Huron Salmon Fishery
An interesting perspective on the Lake Huron salmon fishery from nearly four years ago, reads fairly accurately in consideration of what is happening today. Not 100% in agreement with what is going on with Lake Huron salmon is widespread. Some areas appear to be making a comeback in the Ontario region at least. Coho's, Pinks, Chinook, and yes even some Atlantics have shown up in recent years... thanks LSSU! Not big numbers or size by any means but a welcome sight nonetheless.
Collapse of Lake Huron salmon fishery offers lessons
Jeff Alexander | Muskegon Chronicle By Jeff Alexander | Muskegon Chronicle
The Great Lakes provide an important food source for the region and the country. As such, the productivity of the lakes depends on a variety of human and environmental factors. The food web and interlocking food chains in the lakes are complex and ever-changing. In the mid-1990s, when disease ravaged the Lake Michigan chinook salmon fishery, anglers flocked to Lake Huron .
The glory days of Lake Huron's salmon fishery lasted roughly a decade, until a combination of factors — all driven by human activities — caused the salmon population to crash in 2003-04.
It has not recovered.
Michigan anglers who fished out of 10 Lake Huron ports last year caught 3,200 chinook salmon, a record low. That was a 95 percent drop from the average annual catch of 75,000 at those same ports between 1986 and 2003, according to state data.
"Last year ... about as low as it could get," said Jim Johnson, a research biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Lake Huron's salmon crisis is a cautionary tale for Lake Michigan's still-thriving salmon fishery: The lakes share many of the environmental factors that caused Lake Huron's salmon fishery to collapse.
Huge numbers of foreign quagga mussels are wreaking havoc on the food chain in both lakes. The number of prey fish, the small fish that salmon and other large fish eat, has plummeted in recent years.
The fall of Lake Huron's chinook population was quick, dramatic and painful — for the fish, anglers and coastal communities that reaped millions of dollars in economic benefits from the fishery.
History of salmon in the Great Lakes, 1850-1970
Authors: Parsons, John W.
Book or Record Title: History of salmon in the Great Lakes, 1850-1970
Extent of Work: 80
Series Title: U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Technical paper no. 68
This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965; and the success of the plantings of coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytsha) in the Great Lakes, in 1966-70 -- particularly in Lake Michigan. Despite plantings of 5 million fry and fingerlings from Lake Ontario stocks in 1866-84, the native Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario became extinct in the late 1800's primarily because tributaries in which they spawned were blocked by mill dams. Plantings of 13 million chinook salmon and landlocked and anadromous forms of Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario and the other Great Lakes in 1873-1947 failed completely. The first species to develop a self-sustaining population was the pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), which was planted in Lake Superior in 1956; however, it has not become abundant. A salmon fishery finally was established when 15 million coho salmon and 6 million chinook salmon were planted as smolt in the Great Lakes in 1966-70. In 1970, for example, 576, 000 coho salmon (12% of those planted in 1969) were caught by anglers in Lake Michigan. Most weighed 5 to 10 pounds (2.3-4.5 kg). Sport fishing for salmon was fair in Lakes Superior and Huron, and poor in Lakes Erie and Ontario. By 1970, natural reproduction of coho, chinook, pink, and kokanee (O. nerka) salmon had occurred in some tributaries of one or more of the upper three Great Lakes. It is expected, however, that the sport fishery will continue to be supported almost entirely by planted fish.
Spring kayak fishing the Ontario Great Lakes
Lake Huron Spring Chinook Salmon

The groundhog said six more weeks of winter from Feb 2.... he was wrong! It has been a lot of years, close to 20 since I was able to put some decent time in on the spring Great Lakes fishery. April is normally our second busiest month for river guiding, but the winter that wouldn't go away gave us some time for personal fishing.
Canadian kayak fishing guide Jeff Wall showcases his spring catch. Over 40 fish caught in six outings last spring. All were salmon or trout except one giant out of season walleye.
Steelhead, Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Walleye, Lake Trout were all caught and released over six separate days of fishing.
Long lining shallow crankbaits on light lines pretty much sums up the spring kayak fishing in Ontario for the Great Lakes region. We employed a variety of minnow baits, smaller spoons, and kwikfish style lures. Slow trolling with abrupt direction changes were the ticket in the open water trolling but crashing two lures thru the baitfish schools got us several doubles. I don't have to tell you how exciting that is in a kayak!
Please always consider best practices when heading out on the Great Lakes, especially when it is still winter. Better yet, hire a guide!
Be sure to look up Nomad Adventures for your next spring kayak fishing trip.
