Community-Led Response to Mexico's Earthquakes
by Gabriela Boyer, Seth Jesse, and Michael Layton*
By Inter-American Foundation on Mar. 07, 2018 - 5:43 AM Comment
At the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), we don't deliver emergency relief, so when disasters such as the 2017 Mexico earthquakes strike, we face a bit of a conundrum: How do we remain true to our mandate to support grassroots development while being responsive to our community partners and acknowledging the changes that natural disasters bring?
In the past, we helped our community partners get their development grants back on track through adjustments to activities and budgets, always relying on their knowledge, skills and adaptability. Our Grassroots Development journal notes our response to two such challenges: the Haiti earthquake of 2010 and hurricanes Stan and Mitch in Central America.
In the case of the 2017 Mexico earthquakes, while many Mexican and international funders stepped up to provide immediate humanitarian relief, the remaining challenge is to address the difficult task of rebuilding. Toward this end, we're relying on the country's community foundation sector to forge an innovative approach to the long-term recovery in affected communities. Community foundations, which cover a specific geographic region and are represented by local leaders, are often the first responders to local natural disasters.
Foundations for Rebuilding Communities
Mexican community foundations took leading roles in immediate emergency response efforts to the earthquakes. These foundations are poised to lead inclusive long-term recovery and development. Over the last 12 years, the IAF and C.S. Mott Foundation (Mott Foundation) have supported the development of an effective and self-reliant community foundation sector in Mexico. Building on this experience, the IAF and Mott Foundation are promoting the Partnership to Support Post-Earthquake Recovery in Mexico, a two-pronged effort. First, working with four community foundations in the affected states of Morelos, Oaxaca, Mexico State and Puebla, the Partnership will forge an innovative approach to mobilize resources to support long term recovery. Second, the Partnership will provide opportunities for training in disaster preparedness.
Mexico Earthquake Recovery and Disaster Preparedness Fund
The heart of the Partnership is a challenge grant fund, the Mexico Earthquake Recovery and Disaster Preparedness Fund, which builds on the modest core contribution of the IAF and the Mott Foundation by mobilizing additional resources from U.S. and Canadian institutions, which will then be matched by Mexican philanthropic entities, corporations, and community foundations. The IAF will make funds and technical assistance available to community foundations operating in the affected areas to support community-led rebuilding initiatives, and to develop the capacity of Mexico's community foundation sector to prepare for and respond to future disasters.
The Goals
The primary goal of the Partnership is to support long-term recovery efforts of Mexican community foundations in the areas most severely affected by the earthquakes. A secondary goal is to build the capacity of Mexican community foundations to address long-term recovery and disaster preparedness.
Because the Mexican community foundations know best their local context, the Partnership seeks to unlock funds they can match with local resources to reach the greatest numbers of communities in need. This is not charity; nor is it humanitarian relief. Rather, it is designed to be a locally-led long term approach to post-disaster rebuilding that:
Improves the resilience of affected communities to future natural disasters.
Enhances the capacity of community members and local organizations to anticipate and respond to natural disasters, including psychosocial support for traumatized communities.
Creates opportunities to improve food security and strengthen the resilience of community enterprises.
Multiplies a modest IAF (taxpayer) investment in the rebuilding effort, thereby greatly increasing its impact
In addition to being a vehicle for providing funding, the Partnership supports capacity-building, knowledge exchange and peer learning between Mexican community foundations and their counterparts in other countries who have experience in recovering from and preparing for natural disasters.
Building for the launch
The IAF and the Mott Foundation are mobilizing funds in the U.S. and Canada, first by establishing a leadership group of founding partners who will contribute to a core fund. Nearly $550,000 in core funds have been committed to date. Notably, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, El Paso Community Foundation and the International Community Foundation have recently joined the effort.
We are working with the Council on Foundations, CFLeads, and other organizations and community foundations in Mexico and the U.S. to draw attention to the fund and raise matching funds.
Currently at the IAF, we are issuing requests for proposals from four community foundations in the affected states and from Mexican or U.S.-based civil society organizations capable of training Mexico's community foundations on issues related to long-term recovery and disaster preparedness.
Community-led philanthropy has the potential to make a critical difference in helping communities recover and to be resilient in the face of natural disasters. We are confident that Mexican community foundations possess the experience and skills to spur bottom-up recovery and development.

With limited resources and a pressure to thrive despite stiff competition with bigger players in the industry, small business owners must find ways to be resourceful. The following tips will guide you in bootstrapping your small business from the ground all the way up.
Successful entrepreneurs from any discipline and industry thrive because they understand that time is one of the most valuable resources. Managing time allows entrepreneurs to become highly productive and minimize, if not completely eliminate mistakes and wasted opportunities. Time management is a skill that can be acquired so fret not if you haven't mastered it yet. Following a morning routine is an ideal starting point to maximize productivity. Wake up earlier than you should. Drink water. Meditate. Exercise. Take the time to have breakfast. Jot down your priorities for the day. Remind yourself to focus on one task at a time and avoid multitasking. These acts may be simple, but it readies you for the day ahead and allows you to focus only on the important tasks at hand.
This is a must for any business—but more so if you are a cash-strapped small business owner who is trying to bootstrap your business. Create a proper bookkeeping system that will allow you to track your expenses from your company registration to all your subsequent business transactions. Remember to keep all the corresponding receipts or proof of purchase. More than simply complying with statutory requirements, knowing where most of your money gives you insight on which part of your business you can optimize to cut costs and eliminate unnecessary expenses.
Good branding can improve the chances of your business getting attention and increasing the number of potential customers. However, seeking professional help for marketing, advertising and PR can be costly. Small business owners can cut costs by trying their hand at marketing and advertising their own business. There is a gold mine of resources available online and learning how to market your own business can become an invaluable investment. One can learn how to design a business card, create a blog to increase site traffic, leverage a business presence on social media platforms instead of paying a creative shop for these services.
Time is an important resource so being efficient and effective is a must. There is a wealth of free tools and platforms that you can take advantage of to efficiently manage your business' day to day activities. More often than not, there is a corresponding free tool for your specific business need—from tracking your budget to scheduling social media content, measuring fan base growth, tracking site traffic and other important metrics, and even backing up your files, you can save both time and budget by simply looking for and using free tools and platforms that best fit the nature of your business.
Small businesses need to make the most out of any deal. To do so, conduct transactions with the idea that everything is negotiable. Request for a discount or ask for freebies, call for friendlier payment terms— appeal for just about anything that will get you a better deal than what is originally offered. Many times, entrepreneurs miss out on opportunities for a better deal simply because they did not ask.

Jason Pierre-Paul agrees to deal with Giants
Kevin Steimle
@kevsteimle
The Giants first move of the National Football League "Free Agency Frenzy'' period was to sign one of their own.
Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul agreed to a one-year deal with the Giants a day before he was eligible to become a free agent, according to numerous reports. The deal reportedly is worth $10.5 million, but much of it could come in incentives.
"Your boy is back and I am not going anywhere!'' Pierre-Paul wrote on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon, after the deal was reached.
The Giants still have many holes to fill and expect them to keep targeting the defensive side of the ball.
MORE:Who else should the Giants target?
MORE:Which teams do the Giants play in 2016?
While other teams were interested in Pierre-Paul, most notably the Arizona Cardinals, he ultimately decided to take the Giants' prove-it deal.
"I would like to thank each and every organization that reached out to my agent during this process especially the Arizona Cardinals," Pierre-Paul wrote in the Instagram post. "It was hard to decide, but me and my family decided that it's best for me to stay in New York… I have some unfinished business to take care of in New York!!!"

Depending how much a person gets into ice fishing will determine how expensive this sport will be. Catching fish through the ice can be achieved with the simplest of gear, such as a line tied to a stick with a hook and a sinker. Other anglers may decide that they need all the bells and whistles that are associated with ice fishing. There are also many other pieces of equipment available for this very popular sport.
A short, sensitive fishing rod, 1½ to 3 feet long, is a good choice for the beginning ice fishing enthusiast. The longer rods work well in deeper water on open ice. The shorter models are good for shallow water and inside shanties or tents.
There are several different reels that can be used on these rods. These include single action reels, and small spinning or spin cast reels. Another option is to use a tip-up which shows a flag when a fish is caught.
Anglers have their own preference of ice fishing line. Sizes used range from ½ pound test up to 8 pound test. Some fishermen will use a heavy braided line and tie a light pound test monofilament leader to it. This helps keep the visibility of the line low and adds some added strength for bigger fish when caught.
the holes clear will also be needed. Finally, a thermos with a hot beverage and/or something to eat will help to keep the body warm on a cold winter day of ice fishing.
Obviously, getting to the fish will require cutting some kind of hole through the ice. The budget of the fisherman will determine how simple or fancy the equipment to do this chore is.
Options to get through ice include chisels, hand augers, and gas or electric augers. The augers make cutting the hole much easier when the ice gets to be a foot or more thick. The chisels work well on thinner ice and clearing out previously cut holes.
Using shelters like ice fishing tents and ice fishing shanties will protect the angler from the cold and wind and can even be equipped with a portable heater. These shelters will also help visibility into the water. These shelters can be permanent or portable. Permanent shelters can have all the comforts of home, while portable shelters may have sled runners and are easily transported.
Many fishermen will go ice fishing without any shelter. This allows them to move around to other fishing holes they may have drilled. It is important to wear the proper clothing when fishing like this to keep warm and protected.
The FL-20 features a large viewing window with an enhanced viewing angle.
Super-bright LED lights for easy viewing in sunlight and a night mode to tone down the intensity.
Has two auto zoom ranges to help focus in on the bottom 6 or 12 feet of the water column.
Features the Pro Pack II case with a 12 degree Ice-Ducer.
This fish finder has a 12 volt, 9 amp battery and comes with a charger.
A St. Croix PS250 Ice Reel is matched with a St. Croix Premier Ice Fishing Rod to make this excellent rod and reel combo.
A solid carbon blank, cork handle and stainless steel guides are featured on the Premier Ice Rods. A black matte finish is accented by blue trim on the guide wraps.
ThePS250 Ice Fishing Reel has an aluminum body and spool, three ball bearings, infinite anti-reverse, and can be used either right handed or left handed.
This small and strong monofilament fishing line is perfect for catching finicky fish in clear water. The low stretch increases sensitivity and gives better control for hook setting. This line resists coiling and kinking and is soft and pliable.The small diameter is ideal for fishing small baits, but is still strong enough to pull a trophy through the ice.
Micro Ice Fishing Line is available in 1 pound to 10 pound test on 110 yard spools.

Composer David Carbonara fell in love with "Mad Men" years before anybody knew about the show.
He met screenwriter Matt Weiner in 1998, and the two became fast friends over music. In 2001, Weiner handed Carbonara a speculative script for his pilot about a show following the exploits (professional and otherwise) of overly confident womanizer Don Draper, head of the creative department at a growing Madison Avenue ad agency in the 1960s. Weiner told Carbonara if the show were ever picked up, he would do the music.

9/9/1999, that was the day a "bunch of passionate gamers and friends" from California got together and founded Func, a company whose goal is "to create computer gear designed for gamers, by gamers."
That's a story and indeed a promise we've heard on a fair few occasions in this industry, yet somehow Func's products do seem more genuine than most. There's rarely a marketing blitz surrounding new launches, fancy gimmicks aren't usually present, and the company instead claims "it's about enhancing your gaming experience in a more meaningful way."
Well, with manufacturers the world over itching to make a move into the burgeoning gaming peripheral market, there's never been a better time for Func to step up to the plate. Having specialised in mouse pads for over a decade, the firm is now hoping to evolve its catalogue with the well-received MS-3 mouse, the upcoming HS-260 headset, and the newly-released KB-460 gaming keyboard that's on the test bench today.
Arriving at UK stores with an introductory price tag of £65, the KB-460 is a statement of Func's intent. Rather than tiptoeing into the market with a membrane solution, the company is diving head first with a fully mechanical board that offers gamer-favourite Cherry MX Red switches and full backlighting.
Does the layout look a wee bit familiar? We thought so too, and though we've yet to fully dismantle the keyboard, we've come to the conclusion that Func is most probably using the underlying design of Tesoro's Durandal G1NL, which also serves as the core of the Qpad MK-85.
Knowing that the inner workings have been seen elsewhere would normally take the gloss off a new product launch, but that isn't the case here as Func's pricing is particularly keen. As it stands, the £65 launch promotion makes the KB-460 a serious competitor to the £100 Qpad MK-85. Making things even more interesting, UK retailer Ebuyer is currently bundling the KB-460 with the MS-3 mouse for a rather-tempting £99.99.
Perusing Func's specification sheet makes it clear that the KB-460 is aimed squarely at gamers. We suspect other key-switch flavours may be in the pipeline, but right now, the keyboard is available only with linear Cherry MX Red switches that have a low 45g actuation force and are deemed ideal for gaming.
As you'd expect from a mechanical keyboard, anti-ghosting and full n-key rollover are present and accounted for, and Func has gone that extra yard by including backlight key illumination.
A red LED is housed above each key switch and there are three levels of brightness, as well as a pulsating mode. The backlight is plenty bright, and Func has amplified the effect by using a red keyboard tray. You can just about make it out between the keys, but with the backlight enabled, you get a cool and unmissable red glow.
However, and as with all mechanical keyboards thus far, the LED illumination is uneven and aimed at the upper half of the keys. To make the most of this configuration, Func has the majority of its lettering near the top of the keys - it's not ideal and isn't the best use of keycap space, but it's an acceptable workaround until a better solution presents itself.
Overall build quality is good, and though there is a slight amount of flex in the plastic chassis, you don't notice it during use. Key layout, meanwhile, is logical throughout - though modders should note that the bottom row has a fair few non-custom key sizes - and localised versions are available for US, French, German, Nordic, Russian and UK regions.
Opting not to use superfluous keys, the KB-460 has multimedia shortcuts spread across F1-F6, while the backlight level is controlled by Numpad 2 and 8. We do miss the volume scroller from our last gaming keyboard, but the minimalist design has enabled Func to create a streamlined and sleek aesthetic that's in keeping with its existing products.
The upper half of the plastic chassis is coated in a soft, black, almost rubber-like coating that looks elegant and feels luxurious to the touch. The surface seems surprisingly resistant to scuffs or scratches, although fingerprints are a problem. Ours is relatively new yet we've already felt the need to wipe it down on a couple of occasions.

Bernard Gallacher's Memories Of The Ryder Cup As A Captain
Golf Care, 26th September 2018
Your first experience of captaincy was the infamous "War on the Shore" at Kiawah Island in 1991. What do you remember of the antics from the Americans and how did you try and keep your players focused amidst all the furore and drama?
My recollections of this are quite vivid. I succeeded Tony, who had broken the American stranglehold on the Ryder Cup and had a very strong side. The Americans were desperate to win it back as they hadn't won it since 1983. When we read that The American press in Charleston said, 'Let the War on the Shore begin', we knew we were in for a tough time.
It was the first time I remember the crowd getting so involved to such a degree. They booed when we holed putts and cheered when we missed. The whole atmosphere was very unfriendly and it got very political.
During the opening ceremony, President Bush appeared on television saying he was hoping for an American victory, which is something that you just don't say at a Ryder Cup. Vice President Dan Quayle also came to the matches. It was undignified in many ways. We tried to maintain our composure in spite of all this and deal with it as best we could.
There was also the big dispute between Seve and Olazabal and Paul Azinger and Chip Beck, because the Americans used a ball they shouldn't have used. The Spaniards got wind of this and brought it to my attention. On the 9th, the Americans accepted that two holes beforehand, they had changed the ball inadvertently, but because we hadn't claimed the hole soon enough, they got away with it. My view is if you didn't know the rule at the 7th, why should you know it at the 9th?
Then we had the issue with the radio station called Wake The Enemy. A disc jockey at this radio station had been phoning us at 3 am and waking us up. Eventually, we found out a maid who was servicing the player's rooms had sold the phone numbers to the station! You can't make this stuff up!
Dave Stockton pulling Steve Pate out of the singles without telling me is another vivid memory. We all suspected it was because Steve Pate was due to play Seve in the singles, and I accept he wasn't 100% fit after the car accident he'd had before the tournament.
But in my opinion, that was all a bit overblown – he was fit enough to play. It was unprecedented for the captain of the player who's injured not to have at least the courtesy to tell the other captain that this is going to happen.
That's all part of the envelope rule – I had Dave Gilford in the envelope, and if I'd have been consulted, I could have told Dave Gilford that he wouldn't be playing against Steve Pete. Dave was understandably very upset and I felt sorry for him. I think the Americans turned us over there.
How would you describe your relationship with the Americans in the immediate aftermath of this infamous tournament, particularly their captain Dave Stockton?
Mine and Dave's relationship before the tournament was OK, but afterwards it was poor and I have made no effort to communicate with him since Kiawah. He sent me a Christmas Card featuring a picture of himself and the winning US team, which I threw in the fire.
A lot of the American players were upset about their team's antics that week. A couple of them even wrote to me to say they were sorry and that the tournament hadn't been played in the manner they'd expect. I don't want to reveal who those players were out of respect, but they know who they are.
Lanny Wadkins came over to our table at the gala dinner to say that he wasn't happy with a number of things and that he hoped the PGA of America would apologise.
Fast forward to 1995 and Europe finally got one over on the Americans, emerging victorious at Oak Hill. How does the 1995 victory compare to others you've had in your career?
Winning at Oak Hill was a personal relief because we had come so close in the previous two Ryder Cups only to lose over a final couple of holes on the last day. As a professional golfer, nothing compares to your individual success, but winning as a captain as I did at Oak Hill in 1995 is pretty close.
People make a lot about the role of the captain, but it's all about playing in the Ryder Cup and when you're a captain it means your days are numbered, so in some ways it's a bittersweet feeling. Having lost at Kiawah Island and The Belfry, I didn't really want to be captain. In those days, it was customary to captain your team once at home and once away, so when they invited me to be captain again I wasn't too keen.
The week panned out in pretty much the same way other tournaments had. We were playing well but we were on the back foot, and then on the Saturday afternoon it looked like we would square the match going into the singles.
Then suddenly, Corey Pavin chips in and wins a hole that he looked like losing, and we're two points behind the Americans going into Sunday's singles matches away from home – it didn't look great at that point.
When the draw came out, I felt there were some matches which really worked in our favour. Lo and behold, at one point we were leading in almost every match! It was always going to come down to the wire and ultimately it was decided by two decisive matches.
Nick Faldo was one down against Curtis Strange with three to play and he managed to beat him on the last green, which actually meant we couldn't lose. However, because we didn't hold the Ryder Cup, at that point, we weren't bringing it back with us. Philip Walton was the unsung hero. He was playing Jay Haas and hung on to win the match 1 up.
It was only our second victory on American soil, but we never thought about that for one minute. You just think of the present and the future. I think this is the big difference between professional golf and amateur golf, in that you never really think of stats like that at the highest level.
How much influence did you feel you could have on the players, both on and off the course?
I think the captain's job is pretty overrated. There's a big social aspect, which is making the players feel comfortable, overseeing team talks, having a nice week and bonding in the team room. When we practise, we practise together. We'd put some of the rookies with the experienced players so that they could help them through it.
I also insisted on foursome practice being proper foursome practice so that you get used to the pace of play. You can go three or four or so holes without having an important putt but you need to be ready for it if the situation arises. I think this is the advantage Europeans have had over the few years and the advantage the Americans had at Hazeltine in 2016.
Did you have to face any frustration about your captaincy from your team members?
I gave a team talk at the start of the week, and I made it clear to them that they would all play. They'd all played their way into the team, they deserved to play four singles and the match would be decided on the singles.
If a player hadn't played the first day or in the morning of the second day, he knew he'd play in the afternoon on Saturday, so it kept everybody on their toes. Also, I said to the players that they didn't need to support us as we had plenty of support out there. If they weren't playing, they could get on the course, play a few holes and find how the greens are putting. That has got more value than walking around with the team.
In the early 70's, we were criticised sometimes because players who weren't playing weren't going out supporting the team. This was a very unfair criticism because us captains wanted the players who weren't involved playing a few holes, so they felt good in the afternoon.
I also instructed my players to come and tell me if any player doesn't want to play with another player for whatever reason because you can confide in me. If they didn't tell me they had to allow me to put players together and make my own decision on that.
Other times, you would have to make big decisions on pairing players together. For instance, Nick Faldo wanted to play with Colin Montgomerie because they both play a very similar straight game, but one time I did have to change them as I felt that I could get more points by splitting them up. Actually, it turned out I didn't, so I made a mistake there at Oak Hill.
I said 'I want to split you guys because instead of getting one point I think I can get two points'. I put Nick Faldo with Bernard Langher and it was a great match. I put Colin Montgomerie with Sam Torrance and they played great, but they lost to Davis Love and Fred Couples. It backfired on me a lot, even though in theory it should've worked. That's why you have to keep a very open mind about things.
How would you evaluate your success as captain of Europe? If you could go back is there anything you would change?
The main thing I would change would probably be to enlist the help of a press officer. It took me two Ryder Cups to find out that I needed a press officer – Tony didn't have one so I just carried on where he'd left off. However, after the second Ryder Cup, I knew I needed one. As captain, you're put on the spot a lot and there's more and more media attention in every tournament.
In Tony's day, he knew the major journalists and had a good relationship with them, whereas today there are a lot of journalists who attach themselves to the Ryder Cup but aren't interested in back page stories. They want something for the front page, rather than a story on golf.
I got the European Tour press officer Mitchell Platts, who had previously been a journalist at The Times, to come with me to Oak Hill in 1995. Before I went to each press conference, I asked Mitchell what he thought would be the theme of the conversation. What's happened on and off the course that journalists will pick up on? By chatting this through with Mitchell, I was ready to give some of the answers – it made my job of facing the journalists so much easier.

More massive tar mats from BP oil spill discovered on Louisiana beaches
by Bob Marshall December 18, 2013 November 7, 2019
A caravan of loaders testifies to the size of the BP oil that has been uncovered near Fourchon Beach in recent weeks
Heavy equipment digs into Fourchon Beach searching for more of the massive oil mats left by the BP blowout in 2010.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster was just a month old and BP's crude oil was still gushing from the Gulf floor when state officials began to grasp the true scope of the insult to Louisiana's coast: Beaches, estuaries and wetlands would be under assault for decades.
"I've been told by the ocean experts this stuff could hang out there on the bottom of the Gulf for more than 100 years. And as long as it's out there, it can come ashore," said Robert Barham, Secretary of the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, in 2010.
"We might not see big black waves, but we may be seeing a smaller, but serious problem, for years and years to come."
The accuracy of that prediction is visible once again on the Lafourche Parish beach between Elmer's Island and Port Fourchon, where a line of mud haulers waits to collect BP oil being unearthed by giant excavators digging just yards from the Gulf waves.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, in the past few weeks this one spot has yielded 1.5 million pounds of "oily material" – a designation that includes oil products as well as associated shell, sand and water.
And that's in addition to 1.79 million pounds already collected from Fourchon, by far the largest share of the 8.9 million pounds recovered from all Louisiana beaches in the past two years.
The heavy ongoing cleanup is emblematic of the problems spill experts say Louisiana can expect due to the rapid erosion of its coastline, especially along the beaches between Grand Isle and Port Fourchon. The rapid shoreline retreat in this area has resulted in a silt-filled backwash in the nearshore shallows. Patches of Deepwater Horizon oil that reached this zone became embedded with sand, shells and mud particles in the water column, creating malleable tar balls, patties and mats, depending on their size.
These are more than mere eyesores. The weathered oil contains toxic hydrocarbon components than can remain a threat to fish, wildlife and human health for 50 years. So even small tar balls must be cleaned up.
Gunk not quickly collected by cleanup crews soon became covered with sand and submerged by the advancing Gulf. They disappeared from view – but only temporarily. Weather events that bring rough waves and high tides often uncover the pieces, sometimes picking them up and spreading them spread across the beach and into adjacent marshes.
That happened again in October, during Tropical Storm Karen, which limped across the southeast Louisiana coast as a tropical depression. The Coast Guard assessment team that searched the Fourchon Beach area hadn't expected to find much. That made the recent discovery of a large mat surprising, public information officer Michael Anderson said.
"That was a big mat – we collected 53,000 pounds from that one site," he said.
The size of the mat triggered another search.
During the spill the parish and state had used booms and other material to block four channels leading from the beach to the interior marsh in an effort to keep the oil from coating vegetation. It was a prudent decision; the beach area became one of the most heavily oiled in the entire Gulf.
"During the spill we collected a lot of oil that was building up against those structures," Anderson said.
But as time went on, storms and shoreline changes buried the structures. When the post-Karen mat was discovered in one of those channels, the search was on for the remaining three. It paid off.
One site, which is still under excavation, has yielded 780,000 pounds; another 53,000 pounds were found at the third site; the third contained 320 pounds, and the fourth was clean.
BP spokesman Jason Ryan said in an email that the only place where a "sizable deposit" of oily material was found after Tropical Storm Karen was at Fourchon Beach, "where the area's deep channel and breach structure, combined with previous storms, created an environment where sediment collected in a way that was unlike any other area in Louisiana."
He continued, "This is not new material that washed ashore; it was buried under 6 to 9 feet of sand deposited by tropical storms in 2010 and 2011. The oiled material is 85-90% sand, shells, silt, and water, and 10-15% heavily-weathered residual oil. However, in these breach areas it is difficult to separate this oiled material from the surrounding clean sand, which is reflected in the volume of material recovered."
Discovery of those buried deposits proved the wisdom of what's called the Louisiana Augering and Sequential Recovery Program, which involves boring holes through the beach layers about every 30 feet. Anderson said about 5,800 holes were bored over 5.8 miles of Fourchon Beach — 14,366 across Louisiana beaches in total.
The need for such thorough investigation was obvious after tar mats laid bare by storm action showed that BP's oil is so prevalent in some areas that the Coast Guard resorted to doing complete beach restorations. So far the program has led to removal of 4.7 million pounds of oily muck. Most of it was sand, but sand so laden with oil that removal was the only option.
"In some sections we've had to dig down to the clay and peat layer that supports the beach – about three to four feet deep – and just remove the sand and replace it with new, clean sand," Anderson said. "That was the only way to really get the job done."
But as Barham, the Wildlife and Fisheries chief, knew two years ago, the work in fact is far from complete.
"We do have new tar balls coming ashore on these new beaches," Anderson said. "This Fourchon area is really the most problematic place in the entire area of operation – the entire Gulf from Florida to Texas.
"We know after each storm we'll probably be finding something."
And in Louisiana, coastal storms aren't going to stop anytime soon.
This story was modified after publication to include a comment from BP and to remove the reference to how much the shoreline has retreated because The Lens has received conflicting information about the extent of the loss.
Day after boasting of Gulf's health, BP confirms 25,000-pound tar mat
A vital port for the nation's oil and gas industry is on its way to becoming an island.
Weasel words: BP 'cleanup' falls far short of 'coastal restoration'

This ancient grain of the Aztecs has been rediscovered by Westerners, although you'll probably need to visit a health-food store or check an on-line source to find it. It has a distinctive sweet but peppery taste -- one that many people prefer combined with other grains, for a more mellow flavor. Technically, it's not a grain; it's the fruit of a plant. And that's the reason it contains a more complete protein, and more of it, than other traditional grains.
Meeting your daily protein needs with complex carbohydrates, rather than animal protein, is both healthier for you and a boon to your weight-loss efforts. That's because animal protein often comes packaged with fat and cholesterol -- two dietary components that you want to consume less.
Protein foods also help to slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This in turn reduces hunger by reducing insulin levels and making it easier for the body to burn fat.
Health BenefitsEven when just a little is included in a recipe, the benefit is worth it. For anyone cutting down on meat, amaranth offers a bonanza of near-complete protein. It's not as low in the amino acid lysine, as many other grains are. It is also much richer in iron, magnesium, and calcium than most grains, so it can help keep anemia and osteoporosis at bay. It excels as a source of fiber, mostly insoluble, which is of help in reducing the risk of a variety of diseases, including heart disease, certain cancers and digestive-tract conditions.

Gravity Falls season 3 — release date and premiere
By Robert Sh
In Tv series
American series Gravity Falls from Disney Chanel has a huge number of fans from different countries. This is due to the fact that the plot of the animated film was so exciting that it attracted not only children, but also an older generation. The first two parts of the audience watched in one breath, and now they are waiting for the continuation with great impatience. When will Gravity Falls season 3 be released?
Storyline of the 1st and 2nd parts
In the title of the television series Gravity Falls – duplicates the name of a small town, which is located in Oregon. It is here that the events of the cartoon unfold. Storyline Gravity Falls 1 season – the boy Dipper and the girl Mabel, whose surname Pines, went on a visit to the Wall for the summer holidays. Their uncle is the manager of the agency "Hut of Miracles", which is a tourist service.
Parents of twelve-year-old twins decided that they were much better off from the dangers of a big city. But this turn of events did not make my brother and sister happy. They thought that they would have to "cook" in a dense provincial boredom. In fact, everything turned out quite differently. The main characters plunged into a whirlpool of unusual adventures, which could not have been dreamed of on the streets of a metropolis.
Children discover the secrets of the provincial town, which are especially liked by the fans of Gravity. Director John Aoshima introduces us to fantasy and magical creatures, the existence of which no one could even think about. The main attraction of the city is the museum "Hut of Miracles" – a famous place among visitors. Holds this mysterious corner of Uncle Mable and Dipper Gravity – Stanford Pines.
Why is this cartoon so unique?
Despite the fact that the exact release date of season 3 is still unknown, fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation, because the first 2 parts have become for them a real adventure. They have experienced the adventures of teenagers in a mysterious town. In the 3rd season of Gravity Falls there will be a continuation of their adventures in the vicinity of the city, where there are full of gloomy places in which dreadful creatures dwell.
Magnificent graphics and a sharp plot are the main advantages of the cartoon. According to the director, the sequel will be presented in a new format – as a comic. Fans were happy with this decision.
Separate attention worthy of drawing and characters. Each hero has its own uniqueness both external and internal. All of them have not only positive features, but also drawbacks. In this case, it is impossible not to single out the charismatic Mabel, which captivates the viewer with an inexhaustible sense of humor, positivity and immediacy.
The uniqueness of the cartoon is that the viewer not only observes the course of events, but also tries to find answers to the questions on his own, which makes the viewing as engrossing as possible. In each subsequent series, hints are hidden, which I direct to get the correct answer. The same approach is used when creating the Gravity Falls 3 season.
Announcement of the 3rd part
Gravity Falls will reveal to us the meaning invested in the first and second part. Finally, the behavior of the main and minor heroes becomes clear. The viewer can justify or criticize their actions.
The final of the second season was released on screens in 2016 in February. Broadcasting was carried out on the television channel Disney XD. The main characters are all the same enterprising and fearless twins. Released 40 series, which tells about the summer adventures of the younger generation of the Dipper family, look at one go.
The third season will reveal the riddle, which we were intrigued by the last series. All the fans of the animated series are looking forward to the release of new series not only 3, but also 4 release seasons. What will happen in the story line? The main characters are waiting for a fight with the otherworldly force and with unexplained paranormal phenomena.
Will there be a continuation of the Gravity Falls?
On the forums and in the comments to the cartoon there were many messages containing the question: "will there be season 3 or not?". The exact date of the release of the series, which are welcome, is not even known in Wikipedia. According to many "experts", the director will please us only 10 episodes and no 4 pieces will be.
Gravity Falls season 3 – release date
The exact release date of season 3 is still unknown. In the news, fans are comforted that they will be able to watch the continuation in the coming 2018. View the new issue will be the first lucky ones who will have time to buy tickets to the cinema. Many are indignant that the promised continuation was planned for September 2017, but the director has not kept his promise.
So will the continuation of the Gravity Falls? Why do many say that work on Part 3 of the Gravity Falls is closed? Script writer Alex Hirsh asserts that everything will be, it is only necessary to wait. Work on season 3 is already underway, you just have to be patient. Already very soon the trailer will appear on the screens of the animated series, which briefly narrates about the plot line of the long-awaited continuation of the Gravity Falls.

Make Your Life Better by Becoming Better: With Good Manners
If we ask ourselves how mannerly we are? What would be your answer? It's okay, don't share it with me but, think about it. A few days ago, my teacher spoke of a few words; Thanks, Sorry & Appreciate and that's it. It was a big reminder for me. Let's start with Thank You. I'll start with myself, I don't say Thank You as often as I should and the same is the case with most of us. Look around and hear to people, how many times you hear Thank You in conversations? Maybe, rarely. In fact, it's the most under-used phrase on the planet. There are many situations we could say Thank you instead of saying things that we shouldn't. And let's talk about them. We often receive compliments and ruin them almost all of the time by devaluing the statement or acting overly humble. Internally, we think this will prevent us from appearing arrogant or smug but it's not like this. It is the opposite at times, by deflecting the praise of genuine compliment, we don't acknowledge the person who was nic

And due to improving humidity levels, research also says that having indoor plants can minimize catching cold and stuffy nose by up to 30%. Ain't this Amazing? Yes? Then read more. I have also read that having indoor plants at home lower the risk of allergies in young children. They also filter the toxins
