Wandervogel (plural: Wandervögel; English: "Wandering Bird") is the name adopted by a popular movement of German youth groups from 1896 to 1933, who protested against industrialization by going to hike in the country and commune with nature in the woods. Drawing influence from medieval wandering scholars, their ethos was to revive old Teutonic values, with a strong emphasis on German nationalism. According to historians, a major contribution of the Wandervögel was the revival of folk songs in wider German society.

The movement was divided into three main national groups: the Alt-Wandervogel, the Wandervogel eingetragener Verein (WVEV) and the Jung-Wandervogel. While the two first ones were generally respectful of traditions (family, the military, the school), the Jung-Wandervogel was more defiant and closer to revolutionary ideas. Contrary to scouting organizations, Wandervögel had spontaneously emerged outside of authority controls, and recruited their members through selection and co-option.

Wandervogel was the dominant trend in the German Youth Movement between 1901 and 1913. From 100 members in 1901, they numbered 25,000 to 40,000 adherents in 1914. At its height, the movement had 60,000–80,000 members, with 45,000 in the WVEV alone. The name, referring to a magical, free and weightless bird, can be translated either as a "bird of passage", or as a "wandering bird",—slightly different in meaning from the Zugvogel ("migratory bird").

History

Origin (1895–1900)
In the autumn of 1895, a law student named Herman Hoffmann-Fölkersamb (1875–1955) obtained from the director of the Gymnasium of Steglitz the authorization to organize free classes of stenography. In 1896, the classes involved walks around Steglitz, and in 1897 a 15-day hike in the Harz highlands. The small group began to grow in importance, and a trek in the Rhine region was organized in 1898 with 11 participants, followed in 1899 by a long 4-week hike with around 20 schoolboys set up in Bohemia. The particular elements of the future Wandervogel were already present in these first excursions: an emphasis on group independence and the frugal way of life, an absence of traditional authority, a disdain for touristic and marked paths, and contempt for the comfort of youth hostels.

First Wandervogel (1901–1904)
The Wandervogel was officially established on 4 November 1901 by Karl Fischer (1881–1941) in Steglitz, a suburb of Berlin, under the name "Wandervogel Committee for Schoolboy Excursions" (Wandervogel, Ausschuß für Schülerfahrten), with four of his friends; along with four writers from the city and a medical doctor. This group served as a juridical and financial patronage, and they were not involved in the movement activities, which were led by Fischer under the title of Oberbachant. The Prussian law did not allow young people to establish their own clubs or join extracurricular ones. The association was therefore presented by Fischer as a respectable hiking club to parents and Prussian citizens. A former teacher of the Steglitz Gymnasium, the reform pedagogue Ludwig Gurlitt (1855–1931) helped the movement getting officially recognized by the Prussian Ministry of Culture by leaving a favorable report. Fischer had been a fervent follower of Hoffmann-Fölkersamb, his right-hand-man during various treks, and eventually took over the leadership when Hoffmann-Fölkersamb left Berlin at the end of 1899 for a diplomatic career in Constantinople. As Fischer failed his Abitur twice, he had to wait until 1901 to completely focus on the movement, to the detriment of his studies in law and sinology. By 1903, there were already groups in Berlin, Posen, Munich, Hamburg and Lüneburg, organizing regular hikes.

The Wandervögel soon became the prominent German youth movement. It was a back-to-nature youth organization emphasizing freedom, self-responsibility, and the spirit of adventure. It quickly took a nationalistic approach, stressing Germany's Teutonic roots. Walter Laqueur indicates that the name was discovered by one of the founders—Wolf Meyen—in an inscription on a tombstone: "Wer hat euch Wandervögeln / die Wissenschaft geschenkt / dass ihr auf Land und Meeren / die Flügel sicher lenkt". Drawing influence from medieval wandering students, the newcomers were named "Scholars" and the proven ones "Bachant". Fischer introduced new manners such as the greeting "Heil", inspired by Austrian German students; musical instruments were carried out during hikes, especially the lute guitar, alongside clothing, food, and a "hiking stick".

Divisions and expansion (1904–1913)

In June 1904, opposition led by Siegfried Copalle grew against Karl Fischer in the original Wandervogel group. They debated on social issues: abstinence from alcohol and tobacco, and if females should be allowed to join the movement as equals. As a result, the Copalle group became the Wandervogel-Steglitz, presided by Ludwig Gurlitt, while followers of Fischer founded the Alt-Wandervogel. The Wandervogel-Steglitz banned alcohol from excursions and removed the Oberbachant position in order to establish a collegial direction (Führerkollegium). It was geographically limited to the surroundings of Berlin and in 1912, the year of its dissolution, it had only 200 "members", along with 440 students who participated in the group's activities.

The Alt-Wandervogel saw itself as the only legitimate inheritor of the original movement, as it was under the responsibility of Karl Fischer, now Großbachant. But after a new leadership crisis emerged in 1905, Fischer left both the movement and Germany during the following year. He eventually came back to his home country only 15 years later. After his departure, the Alt-Wandervögel quickly abandoned the previous authoritarian structure centered around Fischer to adopt an organization closer to the Steglitz group's. It experienced from then on a strong rise in membership.
In 1907, a new crisis broke out in the Alt-Wandervogel, led by another opponent of alcohol, Ferdinand Vetter from Jena. The Vetter group eventually seceded to found the Wandervogel, Deutscher Bund für Jugendwandern (WVDB). Largely decentralized, the autonomous structures were connected via annual meetings and a common magazine. The Wandervogel DB was endorsed by cultural groups like the Dürerbund, and by German pro-temperance leagues. This wing was particularly active in the publication of folk song collections. They also tried to reunite the different Wandervogel wings under a common agenda of alcohol prohibition, the admission of girls, and the enlargement of membership to primary school students and apprentices. After several compromises—notably the autonomy of each group in the application of policies, comparable to the situation of German states in the Empire—they eventually succeeded in creating the Wandervogel eingetragener Verein, Bund für deutsches Jugendwandern (WVEV) at the end of 1912. The WVEV was joined by the Wandervogel-Steglitz in December 1912, by the WVDB in January 1913, as well as two-thirds of the Alt-Wandervögel.

The Alt-Wandervögel who chose to remain claimed to represent the tradition of Fischer, by refusing any compromise with the adult world. By 1914, they numbered 4,400 adherents, and 6,000 Scholaren. While reminding the "German nature of the Wandervogel", they let each group decide on the question of Jewish membership; the WVEV applied the same policy. In 1912, a Jewish girl was refused membership in Zittau because, it was argued, the Wandervogel was a "German movement" that had no use for Jew. One Wandervogel newspaper, Führer Zeitung, asserted that "the Wandervogel is neither a depository for old boots formerly worn by flat-footed [Jews] and stinking of garlic nor is it an object of speculation for Jewish enterprises." The readings of Paul de Lagarde, Julius Langbehn, and Houston Stewart Chamberlain were also standard among Wandervögel.

By 1910, some directors of the Alt-Wandervogel had denounced the homosexuality of their colleague Wilhelm Jansen, who eventually seceded to create the Jung-Wandervogel split group in the same year. This was the smallest of the three main Wandervogel wings, with 2,300 members in 1913. They attacked in their rhetoric the "mentally constricting" adult institutions, claiming that the purpose of the Wandervögel was to allow young people to "discuss all their wishes and values" without the interference of adults. Influenced by Hans Blüher, they dismissed the movement as too conformist and respectable, considering it had lost its soul. This situation was caused in their views by the growing influence of adults via the Council of parents and friends (Eufrat), the interventions of teachers in their activities, and a rise in membership that had become out of control. The Freideutsche Jugend was founded on Hoher Meissner in October 1913 on the basis of autonomy from adult supervision.

The Jung-Wandervögel also became known for the prevailing homosexuality in their ranks. According to historian Peter Stachura however, if male eroticism "did play some part in the ordinary day-to-day life of the Wandervögel, [...] it would be misleading to conclude on this account that the Wandervogel was a predominantly homo-erotic movement".

WWI and after (1914–1933)

After the Nazi seizure of power
From 1933, the Nazis outlawed the Wandervogel, German Scouting, the Jungenschaft, and the Bündische Jugend, along with most youth groups independent of the Hitler Youth. Only Church-affiliated groups survived, lasting until almost 1936.

Austria and Switzerland
The Austrian wing, Österreichischer Wandervogel (ÖWV), was established in 1909 by a student from Prague, Hans Moutschka, following first contacts between the Austrian youth and German Wandervögel in Bohemia by 1906. Recruited within the Austrian bourgeoisie, its members were known for their violent rhetoric, and defended German nationalism against the perceived threat of pan-Slavism in Austria-Hungary.

Another branch was created in Switzerland in 1906-1907 after a meeting with German students opposed to alcohol, the Schweizerischer Wandervogel (SWV). They had 50 members at their launch in April 1908, and around 1,500 members in 1913. The Swiss movement had a limited impact, and was essentially composed of young German-speaking Protestants from the bourgeoisie.

Japan
Before World War II, in a context of cordial relations with Germany, and in an effort to promote healthy activities for young people throughout the country, Japan's Ministry of education launched the movement among Japanese universities, calling it the . The first WanderVogel student club was created in 1935 in Rikkyo University. It then spread to Keio University and Meiji University, and from 1937 on to several other universities around the country, especially after World War II, in the context of high economic growth and popularization of mountaineering.

Sociology
The movement was mostly based on the German Protestant middle class, attracting only a few working-class and aristocrat members. Boys and girls were allowed to join, although this caused some controversy among leaders, and the introduction of gender separation in the movement activities. Members were between 12 and 18 years old.

The regions with the largest concentration of Wandervögel were Silesia, Saxony, Thuringia, Hesse, Westphalia, Rhineland; and to a lesser extent Baden. They were largely present in Protestant regions; nearly 80% of the cities hosting a Wandervogel group in 1912 had a strong Protestant majority. Most of those locations were not densely populated and industrialized centres of life, but rather belonged to the rural and traditional part of Germany, with small and medium cities, residential suburbs, university cities, and capitals of small principalities.

The Wandervögel seem to have started an anti-authoritarian rebellion against German society at large, with their focus on the youth values in opposition to the adult ones. The movement was born in Steglitz, a middle-class residential neighbourhood of Berlin. Far from the agitation of the city centre and the working-class districts, young students wanted to escape the social constraints of their environment, which was built on traditional and hierarchical social ranks influencing relations with their parents and the adult society, rather than on poor material conditions. However, the Wandervogel was not a revolutionary movement in the real sense of the term, as they simply withdrew from society in order to carry out their activities in isolation during a few days or a whole summer, before returning to their usual life during the remaining part of the year. Although it could promote anarchist or nihilistic ideas at the margins, especially in the Jung-Wandervogel, most of the Wandervögel essentially sought to be seen as a respectable movement in wider society.

Modern aspects
The Wandervogel movement was refounded after World War II and exists in Germany to this day with around 5,000 members in many different associations, as well as in neighboring countries.

In Japan, it is now a fairly renowned student club with activities like mountaineering, sawanobori and ski touring.

Influence

Some authors have seen the ethos and activities of the Wandervogel as an influence on later social movements, in particular the hippie movement which developed in the United States during the 1960s.

Q: Encoding special characters for passing to a URL I am trying to learn Python, so I thought I would start by trying to query IMDB to check my movie collection against IMDB; which was going well
What I am stuck on is how to handle special characters in names, and encode the name to something a URL will respect.
For example I have the movie Brüno
If I encode the string using  urllib.parse.quote I get - Bru%CC%88no  which means when I query IMDB using OMDBAPI it fails to find the movie.  If I do the search via the OMDBAPI site, they encode the name as Br%C3%BCno and this search works.
I am assuming that the encode is using a different standard, but I can't work out what I need to do

A: It is using the same encoding, but using different normalizations.
>>> import unicodedata
>>> "Brüno".encode("utf-8")
b'Bru\xcc\x88no'
>>> unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Brüno").encode("utf-8")
b'Br\xc3\xbcno'

Some graphemes (things you see as one "character"), especially those with diacritics can be made from different characters. An "ü" can either be a "u", with a combining diaresis, or the character "ü" itself (the combined form). Combined forms don't exist for every combination of letter and diacritic, but they do for commonly used ones (= those existing in common languages).
Unicode normalization transforms all characters that form graphemes into either combined or seperate characters. The normalization method "NFC", or Normalization Form Canonical Composition, combines characters as far as possible.
In comparison, the other main form, Normalization Form Canonical Decomposition, or "NFD" will produce your version:
>>> unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Brüno").encode("utf-8")
b'Bru\xcc\x88no'

Sajith to cash in SF's war wisdom to combat terrorism
10 October 2019 09:31 pm - 16 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The UNF-led alliance will give highest possible responsibilities to Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, its presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa said addressing his maiden election rally in Colombo today.
"I am committed to destroying all forms of terrorism in the country. Mr. Fonseka will have to work out plans and strategies to combat terrorism using his extensive experience in fighting the 30-year war," he said.
"The responsibility of security should be handed over to someone who has experience in the battlefield and had completed the task winning the 30-year-old war. Therefore, we have decided to hand over the defence portfolio to Field Marshal Fonseka," Mr. Premadasa said.
"He will also be given the task of eradicating drug trafficking in this country," Mr. Premadasa added.
Mr. Premadasa also pledged to eradicate corruption, wastage and robbing of public funds and added that anyone who does not agree with him on this point can go way now itself.
UNF-led alliance candidate then pledged to come up with youth, women's and a labour charter and also to introduce a new poverty alleviation programme in addition to Samrudhi. "I will also introduce a farmers' charter and will ensure a stable price for every crop," he added.
Also, he tendered a public apology for referring to his mouth as a sacred one (Shri Mukaya). "I thought I should make this apology in front of the masses and here. I appeal for a pardon for the mistake. I should fall at the feet of the people and tender my apology. However, I am doing it now with my hands joined as it is not possible for me to come near each and every one of you," he said in this regard.
"Mr. Premadasa was named as a candidate of the UNF-led alliance with an objective of forming a government of ordinary citizens. We have made Mr. Premadasa as our candidate so that he could work for the ordinary citizens rather than fulfilling the needs of the elite," Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said
"Our opponents have begun attacking Mr. Premadasa's father, the late President R. Premadasa. It is my duty to answer these people, as a man, who was close to the late President. He was a person who worked for the ordinary people rather than fulfilling the whims and fancies of the elite," he said.
He added that a number of new development projects will be carried out including expanding Galle Face Green by reclaiming land from the sea. (Yohan Perera)

" He was a person who worked for the ordinary people rather than fulfilling the whims and fancies of the elite" . More like fulfilling his needs. He was accused of being involved with the LTTE, providing them with weapons. And also ordering the hit on General Kobbekaduwa so that his links with the LTTE won't come to light.

Dangerous Complacent behaviour of UK & USA
by- Giles Tremlett for The Guardian 23 March 2020
Unlike China, Italy, Spain and Iran we are taking care of our Mortuaries and Cemetries-This picture is not produced by Guardian but by LR
Yesterday in the small Spanish country town where I go to fill up my water supply, an ambulance with flashing lights went up the deserted main street. Two municipal police cars followed it slowly, making it look already like a funeral procession. Only three other people were out, and two of them were wearing face masks.
When I first saw pictures like this from China and Iran, for some reason, I didn't take seriously that it would also happen in Spain – my home for the past 25 years. It wasn't just me who thought this, many politicians and experts were saying the same.
How wrong we were. Italy has overtaken China, becoming the country with the greatest number of deaths in the pandemic. Spain took third place from Iran yesterday, and will likely take only three days to move ahead of China. Little surprise, then, that the government has now extended our almost total lockdown to a full month.
Ideas of cultural or national superiority are the greatest risk factor of all at a time like this. Nowhere is that a more serious danger right now than in the United Kingdom and the United States – two countries especially prone to such delusions.
In fact, watching the UK from a distance has felt like scrambling out of your car at the front of a multiple pile-up on the motorway, only to see other cars smashing into the rear 20 minutes later. Didn't anyone warn them about what lay ahead? Surely everyone knew. That is what it looks like from mainland Europe – the new centre of the pandemic.
If you think that what is happening in southern Europe is a result of corruption, incompetence, lower household income or poor public health systems, then you are fooling yourself. All the signs suggest that the UK and the US are heading in exactly the same direction. Both countries are just a week or so behind.
Italy put in place some of the most stringent travel regulations against China, well before most of the rest of Europe. It has more hospital beds per capita than the US. Spain has one of the healthiest populations and longest lifespans in the world. Its health professionals are good enough to provide a considerable part of the NHS workforce. Spain does not have an especially elderly population either – the over-65s account for just 1% point more than the UK.
From my remote country house, a long way from my elderly neighbours, I have been viewing the daily briefings by Boris Johnson and his advisers with a mixture of incredulity and occasional admiration. How can they be so sure that their approach of managing and mitigating the flow of the pandemic – hardly used by anyone else – is right?
The health experts sound convinced, but Boris Johnson's air-punching promises about "turning the tide" remind me of King Cnut. There are other recognisable and worrying elements. The UK government's reaction chimes too easily with Johnson's "sceptered isle" nationalism and blitz-style nostalgia. It also fits the "wild card" thinking of Dominic Cummings. Donald Trump and his cheerleaders, meanwhile, appear convinced that America's "greatness" will itself provide a magical coat of protection.
Politicians and experts must make hard choices – and they may still be right. I certainly hope so. Yet hubris, in this case, will be paid for in lives.
If the rest of the world looks upon the UK's coronavirus planning with skepticism, that is because it is a clear outlier. A plucky nation boldly going its own way is a perfectly reasonable pitch for Brexit. It does not sound so convincing during a pandemic.
Commentators in Spanish newspapers and on the radio are aghast. "They are putting us all in danger," warned a group of Spanish scientists in eldiario.es. French ministers were talking about a special ban on people from the UK.
The British "herd immunity" model (which the government has since pivoted on) was certainly not embraced by countries in Asia, which have been spectacularly successful at stopping the virus so far. They must be looking at Europe and the US with utter bewilderment.
Trump calls this a "Chinese" pandemic, but it will probably take more lives in both the US and the UK than in China itself. Yet these two higher income countries, with much smaller populations, had many more months to prepare.
Related: Britain had a head start on Covid-19, but our leaders squandered it | Devi Sridhar
Spain failed to implement early widespread testing (and is only just starting), but at least we are 10 days into our month-long lockdown. That terrifying daily leap of a third in the number of deaths will have begun to flatten out before that period ends. The UK, however, has already had more deaths than when Spain (or China) went into quarantine – and it still has not fully locked itself down.
Recently, my neighbours in Madrid called me to tell of police vans patrolling the streets, loudspeakers blaring, reminding people to stay indoors. For all the madrileño capacity for resistance (and a three-year siege during the Spanish civil war surely matches the blitz spirit), it is grim. So, too, was that ambulance going up the street.
And yet I find myself more worried for family and friends in the UK and the US than for those of us here in Spain. You are just behind us. You, too, may soon overtake Iran and China. When this is all over, we will count the dead and discover which governments did the best job of protecting their people. Ideas of national superiority will have to be buried with them.

Patranomodon es un género extinto de pequeños terápsidos anomodontos que vivieron en el Pérmico medio del Karoo, Sudáfrica.

Características
Patranomodon está considerado, junto a Anomocephalus, uno de los anomodontos más basales; los anomodontos basales difieren de los dicinodontos especialmente por la presencia de dientes marginales bien desarrollados. Su dentición es aun poco conocida pero aparentemente carece de especialización alguna para el herbivorismo. En ausencia de los datos aportados por la dentición, es difícil saber los hábitos alimenticios de este anomodonto, pero ciertas características craneales, como el hocico corto se dan en general en tetrápodos herbívoros. Patranomodon carece de la articulación mandibular típica de los dicinodontos, y tiene una superficie articular en forma de tornillo entre el cuadrado y  el articular.

A true crime story captured the attention of the nation last week. Michelle Carter was on trial for involuntary manslaughter after successfully urging her 18-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy, to end his own life. The question of whether her shocking text messages and calls to him were sufficient to convict was at the heart of the trial. It was a groundbreaking case that ended in Carter's controversial conviction. Not surprisingly, the word "manslaughter" was prominently featured in the intense media coverage surrounding this case. The words "domestic violence" were not.
There is no debate here. This was a clear-cut case of domestic violence, regardless of her guilt or innocence on the manslaughter charge. Carter's constant pressure on Roy to kill himself reveals lesser known, but extremely common, types of abuse. The legal record was replete with evidence of power and control, emotional abuse, isolation, manipulation and more. Like physical abuse, they are deadly serious. She never laid a finger on him, and he lost his life. We need to be talking about this.
While public attention was focused on the legalities of manslaughter, these powerful domestic violence themes were largely ignored. This is particularly frustrating given that the abuse in this case is frequently misunderstood and goes unnoticed, hiding in plain sight while victims suffer in silence. This needs to change. Only when we shine a light on the abuse can we hope to break this silence.
This was a golden opportunity to raise awareness about the insidious non-physical types of abuse affecting approximately 50 million women and 50 million men in the United States. For now, it remains an opportunity missed and public attention will move on. However, Carter's conviction will no doubt be appealed, once again capturing the public's attention. When it does, I hope it will be a platform for the domestic violence discussion our country desperately needs.
Adam Dodge (@adamrdodge) is the Legal Director for Laura's House and writes on a variety of domestic violence topics. Domestic violence affects more than 10 million people—and their loved ones—each year. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

Bargain? Jesse McClure paid £1.2k for a Churchill £5 note, serial no: AA01 000020
Earlier in the month, American reality television star Jesse McClure rocked into Spink auction house in London wearing a hoodie and jeans, looking to buy the lowest serial numbered new £5 note on sale to the public.
Jesse, who currently resides near Burnley, Lancashire, wanted to get his hands on the polymer Churchill note with serial number AA01 000017 as a serious investment.
However, he was outbid and it eventually sold for a staggering £4,150.
Instead, he got his hands on lot four, a £5 note with AA01 000020 for a slimmer £1,200, via his brash American style synonymous with TV show Storage Hunters, which raised a few eyebrows at the charity event.
'People think I'm crazy paying £1,200 for a £5 note,' Jesse explains to This is Money while interviewed for our 'a coffee with series'.
'However, I have had an offer of £7,000 for the note from a serious investor. That might sound like an even madder sum, but this £5 note is a seriously good investment,' he adds.
New Churchill fiver sells for £4,150 at a Bank of England... New £5 notes are selling for up to £200 on eBay - check the...
Jesse says he is now deliberating what to do with the note. He could sell it for £7,000, he says, take it back to the US and sell it at his family's Los Angeles auction house or lock it away in a safe.
He says it would sell well in America, as people love British goods out there.
Although this note doesn't have the nostalgia factor which is usually sought after across the Atlantic, he explains that the royalty factor could come into play.
'The Queen has the first batch of notes off the presses,' he explains. 'This note is not far away from the early serial numbers. Plus it looks good, the 000020 being a round number.'

Jesse says that the £5 note was a 'fad' buy which he wouldn't usually get involved with as their value can easily drop, but added that pristine notes are always popular with collectors and tend to soar in price.
Putting it in a safe for the future is the 'sensible option,' he says.
Stick or twist? Would you sell the £5 note for £7k or hold onto it as a long-term investment?

He points to an auction sale last year of a 1955 £5 note which sold for an incredible £35,000 with serial number Y71 000001.
It comes after This is Money revealed last month that low serial number £5 notes were selling for £200 on online marketplace eBay as collectors looked for mint-condition currency.
A number of other stories have since been published about the notes selling for thousands – but it is unlikely the bidders on eBay are paying the amounts being quoted.
Jesse also snapped up note AA01 000144 at the auction.
Quest, the channel his new show British Treasure, American Gold is set to air on, is channel 144.
He will be giving the note away to one of his Twitter @jessemcclure followers in the coming weeks.

Vancouverites invited to clear land for water treatment plant
In order to clear the land for a major water filtration plant that is going to service the Greater Vancouver Region...
In order to clear the land for a major water filtration plant that is going to service the Greater Vancouver Regional District, the region's water committee is asking the public to come out and dig up plants.
The GVRD is building the plant in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve as part of a massive new $500-million expansion of its water treatment system. The region represents 21 municipalities in the Vancouver area.
Over 15 hectares of vegetation has to be removed from the site, but there is nowhere suitable to accommodate and re-establish it. The GVRD is therefore inviting the public to come and salvage native plans for their home gardens. The program is aimed at encouraging people to use native plant landscaping. "Using native plants in your garden can contribute to a healthier environment by saving water and reducing or eliminating the need for pesticides or fertilizer," says a press release.
The plant salvaging event is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve in North Vancouver. More information, including a plant salvage kit, map and plant listing is available at www.gvrd.bc.ca/news/community.

Review: THE LAST RESORT
THE LAST RESORT by Steph Broadribb (Orenda, Aug 2017)
Done with a life of exploitation and violence, Lori Anderson is training to be a bounty hunter. Holed up in the Georgia Mountains with her reclusive mentor, JT, Lori is determined to put her new skills into practice. Behind JT's back, she breaks his rules and grabs the chance she's looking for. Will her gamble pay off, or will she have to learn the hard way?
One of my favourite reads of the past year is Steph Broadribb's debut crime novel Deep Down Dead, a terrific, action-packed thriller set in America's Deep South which introduced bounty hunting momma Lori Anderson. Sultry and suspenseful, Deep Down Dead is an absolute cracker of a debut that introduces a fresh voice to the crime scene, one that has a strong, compelling narrative voice.
I've been keenly awaiting the next instalment in the Lori Anderson series, Deep Blue Trouble, but while that;s still a few months away, today I was very glad to discover that Broadribb has given us a tasty wee amuse-bouche in between full courses: a Lori Anderson short story.
The Last Resort is a fun, quick read. It takes us back to Lori's days first training as a bounty hunter in the Georgia mountains with her mentor JT. For those who've read Deep Down Dead, it provides another look at a character we've met, while for those new to the burgeoning series, it'll give you a first-impressions insight into whether Lori might be a character you want to follow.
There's certainly plenty about her that's worth following. Lori is tough while not being impervious, full of attitude but with plenty to learn. Brave, stubborn, and more. She's a really interesting heroine, and as I said in my review of Deep Down Dead, offers something deliciously different to the floods of middle-class suburban housewives or working mothers traipsing through oceans of domestic noir.
Broadribb packs a lot into what is a short, quick read in The Last Resort. She skilfully evokes Lori's character, the complicated relationship between her and JT, and the surrounding landscapes of the Georgia mountains. There's a rawness and ruggedness to Broadribb's storytelling, a tough vulnerability that really draws you in. I think she's a superstar on the rise. Broadribb and Lori both.
Like a great amuse-bouche from a great chef, The Last Resort gives you a wee taste of her skill, and leaves your mouth watering in anticipation for the courses to come.

Fierce Whiskers is a new entrant to the whiskey market from Austin, Texas. To get their brand off the ground, they turned to The Butler Bros, an agency that specialises in naming, narrative and visual design. The good news: The Butler Bros did an incredible job. Through smart, insightful design they were able to create a brand that is at once premium, authentic and trustworthy. It has all of the design cues one might want from a whiskey, giving it a sense of heritage, but it also stays entirely on trend with current liquor design.

There's nothing we love more than sharing the incredible work our students produce and this is one of those times when we get to do so.
The first brief for the 3rd year Graphic Design students looked at Impact design, which is based on the impact that values and behaviours of human kind would have and has had on environments, society itself and economies. The students had to write their own stories deduced from a current issue but interpreted into fiction. This project therefore required that the students create a set of books, which was written, illustrated, hand bound and packaged by them reflecting life on planet Earth in the year 2018. The full exhibition can be viewed during OPEN DAY on the 3rd of March 2018.
If you're interested in seeing this work at our open day, check out this post here for details.

This website, which was designed for YouTube Rewind 2017 (A kind of highlight video of all of YouTube's best content for the year) has a great navigation design, which explains all of the memes, content and ridiculousness that made the year what it was.
Full marks if you get all the references!

Centennial of the Death of Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart, 1902-2002
"The news came like a sword to pierce our hearts."
Part II: Eulogies and Letters of Condolence
"She had the characteristics of genius" ... "so faithful and so generous" ... "a great figure in the community." Respect and admiration, as well as sincere grief and loss are expressed in the letters of condolence sent to the sisters in Vancouver following Mother Joseph's death.
Mother Mary Antoinette, Superior General, praised her as the "perfect model of a Sister of Charity, with her soul of flame and her will of tempered steel!" The Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood, a contemplative community in Portland, wrote that the news of her death "came like a sword to pierce our hearts."
Eulogies printed in local newspapers and community publications also attest to her contemporaries' understanding of Mother Joseph's unique contributions to the Catholic Church and the mission of the Sisters of Providence in the west.
A Pupil's Tribute
Providence Academy, Vancouver
"Many and great things did Mother Joseph accomplish during her long and eventful life.... But 'tis not of the great things we mean to speak, but of little things which were not despised or neglected by this valiant woman. We witnessed this on countless occasions. If a lock was out of order or a desk in need of repairs, Mother Joseph would soon appear with hammer and ruler and before long all would be in perfect order. Anything wrong with machinery or other farming implements belonging to the Sisters' farm, Mother Joseph would be called and soon all would be properly adjusted. Then she would lay aside her tools and don a white apron and pair of white sleeves and sit before a frame and embroider in finest gold--veils for the tabernacle, covers for ciboriums, dresses for the Infant Jesus, etc.
"We pupils often watched her as she worked on those delicate fabrics, and we admired the result of her labors. Again we would find her working in wax, making Infants for the Xmas crib, curling and arranging the golden hair; or we would see her casting crucifixes--those crucifixes that are such constant reminders of her--for go where we will in the Academy, orphanages or any part of this House of Providence, we see on the walls before us, crucifixes made by the hands of Mother Joseph. We have seen her drawing plans for a building, an altar, or pedestal for a statue. She would draw the finest lines and make the daintiest little figures--or she might be found making a soutane for priest or bishop; and she was adept at this. I fear, we would never finish should we enumerate all the work in which we saw Mother Joseph engaged.…
"So it is, everywhere we turn we find evidence of the zeal and devotion of our dear departed Mother Joseph. She was truly the friend of all. There are many who love to give her one sweet title in particular and say, 'She was the orphan's friend.' Gratitude bids us all be true to the memory of Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart." -- Flora F. McKee, Nonpareil, January 1902, Vol. II, No. 5
A True Daughter of Providence
St. Vincent Hospital, Portland
"The departure from our midst of our dear and lamented Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart brings such regret to our hearts that we must give space in our annals to the memory of this good and beloved mother. The tremendous work she accomplished for the Community of Providence, excites us to proclaim her filial devotion, her merits, her virtues, the numerous establishments left as monuments to her talents, her incessant labors far above the ordinary, for the Glory of God.
"To her sisters she was a guide who inspired virtue to bear fruit and sowed the seed of attachment to the vocation which she so generously gave of herself. Her beautiful example of a true daughter of Providence, provides for us below the hope that today she enjoys the habitation of the blessed for which she so ardently longed in her last days. Without doubt this dear Mother foundress is now enjoying the glory of the presence of God to whom her entire life was dedicated in the service of the poor and afflicted.
"Her name will go down in history but can never pass into oblivion or be forgotten." -- Chronicles, January 1902
Peace to Her Memory
The Catholic Sentinel, Portland
"From the very outset of her arrival on this Coast, Mother Joseph's life was a most active one and especially devoted to the cause of suffering humanity. She was a woman of great talents and of supernatural virtue in a distinguished degree. Hers, too, was a marked personality, on account of the courage she displayed in the face of opposition. Courage strong enough to move mountains, or stretch walls of her convents when they became too narrow. She was ever the true daughter of charity, in her constant friendship, in her extreme kindness and hospitality, in her zeal for churches and their altars, and finally, in her love for the devotions of the Church, and particularly for that of the Sacred Heart.… Though her name and the story of her deeds will never be contained in the archives of state, they are chronicled in the Book of Life, and they will live embalmed in the memory and hearts of her legion of friends, and of a grateful world, regardless of creed." -- January 30, 1902
"Her presence, her example in those early days made souls resolute and opened to the mind's eye unexplored fields of achievement. Peace to her memory is the prayer of those whose lives touched that of this remarkable woman." -- February 6, 1902
Let Us Continue the Works She Began
Canon Alfred Archambeault, Montreal
"Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart has left us! After sixty years of religious life, of labors and sacrifices without number, she has gone to receive the reward of her works and of her merits. In her the western missions lose their foundress, their guide, their support. God alone knows what all these missions owe to Mother Joseph....
"By her indefatigable zeal in extending far and wide her field of action and influence, by her inviolable attachment to the Mother House, its spirit and its traditions, by her generosity in sacrifice, by her astonishing activity in the accomplishments of works of mercy, by her courage and energy in the face of difficulties and obstacles; finally by her resignation to the Holy Will of God in her hour of trial, especially in the atrocious sufferings of the last months of her life, Mother Joseph will remain in the history of the Institute as one of its most remarkable members.…
"Let us preserve the remembrance of the examples of virtue she has left us, and let us try to imitate them. With confidence in God let us continue the works she began: like her let us strive only for the Glory of God and the extension of His kingdom on earth." -- Letter to the sisters of the community, January 21, 1902 (As Ecclesiastical Superior of the Sisters of Providence, Father Archambeault served as an advisor and liaison between the religious community and Church hierarchy.)
Her Transports of Love
St. Ignatius Mission, Montana
"How good she was, our venerated Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart! What a beautiful model she left us of loving submission to the will of God! Our devoted and dear Mother Mary of the Infant Jesus and some among us have been the happy witness of her transports of love, and it will always be with great pleasure that we will bring them back to our minds. As for you, Reverend Mother and Sisters of Vancouver, who have spent so many years with her, how you must miss her! On the other hand, we must experience great joy at the thought that she is now with God. We shall ask God to fill the emptiness He created in your midst on removing His faithful spouse and your very dear Mother and to grant to our happy predecessor the perfect realization of her constant and ardent desire, that of complete possession of her Divine Jesus." -- Letter to the sisters in Vancouver, February 18, 1902
Remembering a "Valiant Woman"
Gleanings from the Past, 1916
"To all, it seemed impossible that we would ever be without our Mother Joseph, whose very presence was as part of our life. Throughout all the years, since first the Five Missionaries came upon the soil of Vancouver, she had been the prime mover, the actual worker, the one who had accomplished the successes to which all of our Western Community is living evidence. Incomparable in ardor, judgment, ability of mind and heart...such was the Valiant Woman, our Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart, undaunted in the face of duty, undaunted in the face of keenest suffering, undaunted to the last in the horrors of the illness that cost her her life…." -- Gleanings from the Past, published for the 60th anniversary of the arrival of the Sisters of Providence in the west, 1916

The Fostering Futures Program is a supplemental program to Voices for Children's advocacy program. Fostering Futures specifically serves youth ages 14-18 who will, most likely, age out of foster care without ever being adopted. The program is designed to assist youth in a successful transition from foster care to adulthood. Contact Linda Nash.
If you were with us at the Isle, you know that we decided to switch things up a little with our campaign kickoff. We followed the trend of many other organizations and turned our fundraising kickoff into an actual fundraiser.
Knowing we were taking such a different approach from what we normally do meant we really had to come up with an out-of-the-box idea that not only excited our donors for the two-hour event, but also left them feeling excited about the upcoming United Way campaign in their workplace. We needed to capture the attention of our audience while also informing them of the need in our community.
Now, more than ever, we need to continue providing support to our students who may one day lead your workforce. We need to be there for our seniors who have been an integral force in our community and help them to continue to thrive and live independently. Our partner agencies collaborate every day to ensure seniors, children and their families are achieving their full potential. But what if we could do more?
Thousands of individuals living in the Gulf Coast have been forced to leave their flooded homes. They've lost everything they own due to days of continued rain. Across the country we've seen communities spring into action to help fellow Americans in Texas and Louisiana. Recently, we've had a few Southeast Missouri groups contact us about what items they can collect and where donations can be sent.
Unfortunately, collecting and sending food, clothing and other household items can do more harm than good. Volunteers are working around the clock to ensure families are evacuated from flood waters and have access to shelter and food. It takes a lot of time and money to store, sort, clean and distribute donated items, which diverts limited time and resources away from helping those most affected. The best way to support disaster victims is with a financial donation.

Isaac Operations Hires Qualified Consultants By Digitizing Recruitment Methods
Toronto – Canada
~125 HOURS SAVED EACH FALL
1,500+ APPLICATIONS
0 PAPER WASTE
Isaac Operations works hands-on with organizations around the world to help them get more out of their operational processes and supply chains. From its roots in manufacturing, Isaac applies a unique engineering-based approach across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, defence, food & drink, and healthcare. They identify issues that limit cost, delivery and quality performance, and then implement practical solutions to rapidly generate measurable, sustainable financial returns.
Isaac Operations has a small, two-person recruitment team led by Director of Talent, Jenna Wilson. They hire a lot of engineers, but they've also expanded their candidate pool to include other highly-analytical people with critical thinking skills who love problem solving. Candidates also need strong communication skills to build relationships and influence decision making.
Isaac's recruitment process has always been very detailed and hands-on. "We'd facilitate info sessions on campus, and applicants would take two written tests right on-site. We'd then travel back to campus to conduct first-round interviews with successful candidates and invite top talent back to our office for a final Selection Day."
The process was mostly paper-based. "I was driving and flying across Canada with a massive suitcase filled with paper tests, and the team was individually marking each test by hand. It felt like there could be a better way to manage the process."
Since one of Isaac's senior consultants always joined Wilson for the on-campus recruitment days, considerable time and money was being spent. Moreover, a large portion of Isaac's hiring is done in a limited window of time.
"We do hire throughout the year, but for our entry level consultant roles, we only recruit from September 1 to the end of November. We hire people for a January, May, and August start date, and then we go through the recruitment process again the following year." Within that three month period, Isaac's recruitment team typically receives around 1,500 applications.
Isaac needed more accessible pre-employment assessment tools to connect them with qualified consultants.
"We're set up for a successful virtual recruitment process."
"Since we have more people to choose from, we've also been able to raise the bar about who we're bringing through to the next stage."
JENNA WILSON
DIRECTOR OF TALENT
ISAAC OPERATIONS
Since Isaac's business specializes in efficiency improvement, optimization, and uncovering potential, it makes sense that their recruitment would take on the same kind of ingenuity.
Applicants now complete online skills tests to help determine fit. "My biggest priority was getting an online assessment tool," says Wilson. "What stood out to me about VidCruiter was that you customize that tool." Isaac had already developed tests that were proven to work, and VidCruiter made it easy to digitize these tests so they were accessible online.
Then, a shortlist of candidates are asked to complete a pre-recorded video interview. The talent coordinator watches the videos, and they send prospective new hires to Wilson for review. She sends her shortlisted candidates' videos to one of Isaac's lead consultants. Everyone reviews the videos at their convenience.
Finalists attend a live video conference on "selection day," which happens nearly every week. "We bring about 10% of the total applicant pool through to that final day, and about 1% of those people will get a job offer," explains Wilson.
Candidates use digital breakout rooms to demonstrate applied knowledge in a real-world simulation of what's like to be an Isaac consultant. This allows Wilson, the talent coordinator, consultants, and leadership to effectively evaluate applicants in a virtual setting.
"VidCruiter has been a game-changer. It's helping our hiring decisions, and it's adding fairness to the process."
The VidCruiter platform has been "a game-changer" for Isaac. "It allows candidates to apply from anywhere; they don't need to physically attend an info session and we're not limited to individual schools," says Wilson. "Since we have more people to choose from, we've also been able to raise the bar about who we're bringing through to the next stage."
VidCruiter is helping Isaac hire great people faster than ever. "Everyone is loving the tool," says Wilson. "Before, we could interview maybe 12 people on a good day. Whereas now, interviewing is constantly flowing. Candidates complete the interview on their own time, and we review them on our own time. There's no back-and-forth scheduling interviews."
Isaac is saving ~125 hours each autumn simply from eliminating manual test-grading. "It took our team about five minutes to mark each test, and when you think about 1,500 applicants, that saves a lot of time."
The rating system is also more consistent, helping minimize hiring bias. Isaac has a custom rubric built into VidCruiter's video interviewing platform so they can collect specific data points at every part of the hiring process. "We've taken a good look at diversity inclusion best practices, and we want to eliminate room for bias as much as possible. We want to keep interview questions consistent and score candidates consistently," says Wilson. "This structure has helped us do that."
The new process has also improved the candidates' experience because the hiring process is much more accessible and quick. "I can't even explain the efficiency," says Wilson. "From an evaluator standpoint, it's so efficient for me to send over a link so we can review a candidate. It's helping our hiring decisions, and it's adding fairness to the process."
"We didn't have to settle for a generic universal test."

Objective Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was first introduced in China in the early 1950s and has evolved into a significant psychiatric treatment. Research from Chinese psychiatrists provides important clinical data for ECT practitioners. However, most of the research has only been published in Chinese language journals. This article summarizes data from publications in the Chinese scientific community related to the clinical practice of ECT and research on efficacy in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Methods Descriptive study primarily based on Chinese language literature identified from searches of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Medline databases (1979–2012).
Results More than 900 journal papers on ECT have been published in the Chinese language between 1979 and 2012. Currently, modified ECT has replaced unmodified ECT, and treatments were performed both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Electroconvulsive therapy is primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia and mood disorders and has been shown to be very effective in both. The primary use of ECT in China is in the treatment of schizophrenia. The Chinese literature provides a rich database on the efficacy of modified and unmodified ECT, with and without adjunctive antipsychotics, in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Conclusion The Chinese medical literature provides an important database that will help advance the practice of ECT in both China and the international community.

But something was wrong with this run. I kept glancing down at my GPS to check my time and distance, and between slow-downs for corners, those moments before you pause at traffic lights, and a few tiny hills, it kept flashing something close to my 5k pace. And I was in zones 1 and 2. In fact, my average heart rate stayed in low zone 2 the whole run.
How can I be only 30-60 seconds off my 5k pace in zones 1 and 2?
I finished the run with an average of 10:49. That's still a good bit off my 5k pace (8:40-9:11), but holy crap. I saw those paces on my watch several times. I've NEVER seen those on my watch during a zone 1/2 run. EVER.
Now, to a lot of you Speed Demons, this is tortuously slow running. For those of you, recall that, just around the time of my surgery, before and after they found my cancer, my zone 1/2 runs were 14-15 minute miles. That's 4+ minutes slower than I am running now. And that was only 2 years ago. Even if I go back to 2006 when I first started racing - 6 years ago - my zone 1/2 was 12-14 minutes/mile then.
My goal pace for this race would put me at MOST of the marathon in zone 1/2 at 11:21 per mile. I just did one of my FIRST 1/2 runs of the season completely SUB-11. Today's run of double the distance was smack on my marathon goal pace.
So my mind gets to whirring and buzzing and clicking (relax, this is normal), and I think the unthinkable.
Maybe I could finish this marathon in like 4:30-4:48.
That's 2 HOURS off my very first marathon in 2007.
And that's not a slow marathon anymore.
Anything under 5 hours isn't slow, but that's REALLY not slow.
Hell, if I lost 4 minutes per mile in two years, in two more years I'll be running in zone 1 and 2 at about 8:30 per mile.
I always said I had no interest in trying to BQ. But that was back when I associated that pace with my lactate threshold, dying, trying-not-to-puke pace. If I can be at Boston pace in zone 1 or 2, a BQ wouldn't feel quite that bad. Granted, I'd have to train to do it for 26.2 miles, but I've trained to do a LOT of things for 3-10 hours.
So it was decided. The Apocalypse is upon us.
Yup, end of the world is nigh.
Love! BQ isn't in my vocabulary, but IM certainly is - let's rock this sh%t!

Q: Что такое стек и куча? Я изучаю C# и пытаюсь понять что такое стек и куча. В большинстве примеров, стек подается как массив у которого есть функции push() и pop(). Но это не достаточное объяснение для меня. Вот к примеру, у нас есть функция Calculate()
void Calculate()
{
int x;
int y;
object z;
}

Какую роль в этом примере играет стек, а какую роль играет куча?

A: Если рассматривать язык c# сам по себе, в отрыве от реализации, то действительно знать о том, что такое "стек" вам нет необходимости.
Но если вы хотите хорошо понимать тот инструмент, которым пользуетесь, то можно посмотреть немного под капот.
Платформа Microsoft .NET использует стековый байт-код Intermediate Language (IL, CIL, MSIL).
То есть код, который вы напишите, будет записан в опкодах этого языка и уже непосредственно его и будет выполнять CRL.
Посмотрим на какой-либо простой код c# и на то, как он записан опкодами:
void Main()
{
    int a = 15;
    int b = 10;
    int c = a - b;
    Console.WriteLine(c);
}

IL-код я получил в программе Linqpad, в IL DASM будет такой же:
IL_0000:  nop
IL_0001:  ldc.i4.s    0F
IL_0003:  stloc.0     // a
IL_0004:  ldc.i4.s    0A
IL_0006:  stloc.1     // b
IL_0007:  ldloc.0     // a
IL_0008:  ldloc.1     // b
IL_0009:  sub
IL_000A:  stloc.2     // c
IL_000B:  ldloc.2     // c
IL_000C:  call        System.Console.WriteLine
IL_0011:  nop
IL_0012:  ret

Что мы видим при наведении мыши на ldc или stloc? Мы видим всплывающие подсказки "pushes int value onto stack" или "pops value from top of stack".

То есть все ваши инструкции на c# оказываются очень тесно связанными со стеком. Даже простые операции типа сложения чисел проходят через стек. И циклы фактически тоже разворачиваются в стековые инструкции.
Это как раз устройство нижележащего этажа для c#. Современные языки программирования достаточно часто используют концепцию стековых машин, c# -- один из них.
PS Если хочется погрузиться в эту тему более основательно, то хорошей отправной точкой может стать статья Введение в MSIL [Кенни Керр, пер. Aquila]

A: В языке C# понятий «стек» и «куча» нет вовсе.
Вместо них есть область жизни объектов.
Объекты значимых типов живут от точки объявления до конца охватывающего блока (если это локальные переменные) или от начала до конца жизни содержащего объекта (если это поля). Объекты ссылочных типов живут от момента вызова new до момента, когда их съест сборщик мусора (а это случится гарантированно не раньше того, как у вас пропадёт последняя ссылка на объект).
То, что локальные переменные значимых типов часто попадают в системный стек — не более чем деталь реализации текущей Майкрософтовской CLR. Знать об этом интересно, но не обязательно.

Anonymous: In 1711, Joseph Addison wrote this passage that influenced George Washington. "There cannot a greater judgment befall a country than a dreadful spirit of division as rends a government into two distinct people, and makes them greater strangers, and more averse to one another, than if they were actually two different nations. The effects of such a division are pernicious to the last degree, not only with regard to those advantages which they give the common enemy, but to those private evils which they produce in the heart of almost every particular person. This influence is very fatal both to men's morals and their understandings; it sinks the virtue of a nation, and not only so, but destroys even common sense. A furious party spirit, when it rages in its full violence, exerts itself in civil war and bloodshed; and when it is under its greatest restraints, naturally breaks out in falsehood, detraction, calumny, and a partial administration of justice. In a word, it fills a nation with spleen and rancor, and extinguishes all the seeds of good nature, compassion and humanity."

Plans to redevelop Riverside Business Park in Bakewell have been refused by the Peak District National Park Authority. The £25 million scheme would have included 130,000 square feet of industrial units, plus 88 open market and nine affordable homes.
Our planning officer, John King, gave our views to the Park Authority's planning committee. We backed the principle of the scheme, but thought that it needed to include more affordable houses, and have better renewable energy technology.
We welcome the fact that the Authority takes affordable housing and renewable energy seriously, but still think the scheme has potential to provide local people with jobs and houses.

« Lorenz Gonschor Dissertation Defense re Hawaiian Kingdom
'Aha Aloha 'Aina – Wai'anae »
Na'i Aupuni will not pursue ratification vote
Press release from Na'i Aupuni:
NAʻI AUPUNI DECIDES NOT TO PURSUE RATIFICATION VOTE
Education and Ratification of Native Hawaiian Constitution Best Pursued by Broad-based Group
HONOLULU – Naʻi Aupuni said today it would not be conducting a ratification vote on the proposed constitution produced by the recently completed 'aha. It believes that the 'aha participants, who represent a diverse and multigenerational cross section of the Native Hawaiian leaders from Hawaii, the North American Continent, Asia and Europe, or a similarly broad-based group, would be the entity to best advance the ratification vote and conduct the important process of educating our communities about the constitution.
"Na'i Aupuni is appreciative of the participants who utilized the strength of our rich culture, the knowledge from our kupuna and the collective wisdom of the 'aha to significantly advance Native Hawaiian unity. Na'i Aupuni believes that it is the participants, those who prepared and voted on the document, that are best able to lead efforts in effectively sharing the proposed constitution with the community and ultimately arranging for a ratification process. The participants have evidenced a remarkable willingness and ability to identify leadership, build critical teams, and respectfully support the voices of many divergent opinions. It is for these reasons that we are deferring to the 'aha participants to further advance their work," said Kuhio Asam, president of Na'i Aupuni.
Asam said that although the stated objectives of Naʻi Aupuni were to conduct an election, an ʻaha, and a ratification vote, the overarching goals were to provide an opportunity for Native Hawaiian leaders to exercise their inherent right to self-determination, to discuss self-governance options and, if they so decided, to develop a constitution that would unify and best serve the current and anticipated needs of Native Hawaiians.
Asam also said that although there were many hurdles along the path to the 'aha, it produced more than a constitution. "The 'aha generated a long overdue and significant dialogue among the participants and within the larger community. It is crucial that this conversation continues. The 'aha also allowed leaders from the community to emerge, and created momentum for further educating the public about self-governance, the proposed constitution and nation building."
Bill Meheula, legal counsel for Naʻi Aupuni, reviewed the actions taken along the way due to legal challenges. "From the beginning, we anticipated potential legal challenges and we currently continue to defend against the Grassroot lawsuit that is now before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals," he added. "In addition, now that we cancelled the election and will not be conducting any ratification vote, Na'i Aupuni contends that the appeal is moot and we are hopeful that the case will be eventually dismissed."
Meheula also said that the estimated remaining grant funds of a little over $100,000, allocated to cover the cost of the ratification vote, would be returned to OHA. Na'i Aupuni also plans to publicly publish an accounting of how the funds were spent.
Information on Naʻi Aupuni can be found on the website: naiaupuni.org.
About Na'i Aupuni
Na'i Aupuni is an independent organization made up of a volunteer board of directors from the Hawaiian community. It exists solely to help establish a path to an 'aha, where Hawaiians can discuss and explore various options of self-determination. Na'i Aupuni was formed in December 2014 and is separate and independent from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the State of Hawaii. Further information about Na'i Aupuni and the 'aha can be found at http://www.naiaupuni.org/.

John Waihe'e et al abandoned ship, the Aha Na'i Aupuni ruse and scam, but not before getting a 3-4 million dollar voucher from OHA to stage the event. These are Native Hawaiian entitlement monies. We have yet to see the receipts for charges that were made in bringing on this event. We need to hold them accountable. They say that $100K dollars remains. How about let's see some receipts? Bet you, it won't happen.
