The Coalition is made up of over 300 organizations (and engages many thousands more) who together represent all parts of society and span the global economy. Coalition organizations have united under a common vision of a world that conserves and enhances natural capital.
Coalition organizations fall into seven broad stakeholder groups or 'worlds': These seven worlds are conservation & civil society, science & academia, business, membership organizations, standard setters & disclosure, finance and government & policy.
Coalition organizations share a common belief that we can do more together than we can alone, and an understanding that it is only by bringing the many different parts of the system together as part of a purpose-led conversation that we can we affect real change. The Coalition's strength comes from this belief, and from the diversity it brings.

Andhra Pradesh Government Decided to Set Up 15 Marine Police Stations
General Knowledge » Current Affairs »
In a bid to beef up security along the 974-km long coastline of Andhra Pradesh, the State Government has decided to set up 15 marine Police Stations, in addition to the existing six ones and also appoint special Police Officers in coastal villages. "In order to strengthen the infrastructure for the coastline patrolling and surveillance, six Marine Police Stations had been established in 2006 in the first phase," Deputy Superintendent of Police ( DSP ) of Marine Police C M Naidu said.
"Now, the Government is in the process of setting up 15 more Marine Police Stations in the second phase, for which land had already been identified and acquired," he added. "Once these Police Stations start functioning, we can have a full – fledged coastal security," Naidu said.
Six Marine Police Stations, each headed by an inspector, have been functioning at Kalingapatnam in Srikakulam district, Rushikonda in Visakhapatnam, Vakalapudi in East Godavari, Gilakaladindi in Krishna district, Suryalanka in Guntur and Dugurajapatnam in Nellore district. "Though there is a shortage of marine staff, we are ready to tackle any situation on our coastline. Marine police is keeping a constant and strict vigil on the 974-km long coastline spread across nine districts of the state," the officer said.
To further strengthen the security, there is a proposal to appoint Special Police Officers ( SPOs ) in coastal villages. "There were 508 hamlets, known as 'Fishermen's Villages' along the State coastline and the proposal to appoint SPOs in each village has been pending with the Finance Department for approval," he said.
"Appointment of SPOs might begin in a month or two. They would act as our eyes and ears and would inform us if they find any suspicious movements along the coast," he said, adding that they would first be provided training. Marine Police conduct patrolling in deep sea within their jurisdiction in coordination with the Coast Guard, but SPOs will play a major role and keep a constant watch on the coastline activities in their villages, he added.
Application Form Submission 16 Dec 2020 to 16 Jan 2021.

Tales From the Road: Afghanistan, Thailand, Canada, Nigeria
Eva Holland
One of my favorite parts of the Best American Travel Writing anthology each year is series editor Jason Wilson's foreword. With each new edition he finds a seemingly unrelated anecdote that somehow, unexpectedly, illustrates the point he is trying to make about the value of good travel writing.
This year is no exception: he begins with a report about a shark attack in New Jersey, an exceedingly rare event that led to the almost-instantaneous publication of helpful sidebars and advice boxes on How To Survive A Shark Attack in the local papers.
This leads Wilson to a discussion of the "If You Go" boxes that accompany most travel content: "Presumably, this information is there in case you want to duplicate the writer's trip on your own."
But the stories in his anthology – and, I think, the stories I've selected here today – come without any practical sidebars, because they can't be replicated. And in Wilson's words,
"That's because, like all great travel writing, each of the stories collected here is born of a singular experience, point of view, and voice. Each of them is a rare achievement. Perhaps even rarer than a shark attack in New Jersey."
1) War Zones for Idiots, by Tom Bissell
Tom Bissell first caught my attention for some thoughtful stories about his travels in Vietnam with his father, a veteran of the war. In this World Hum dispatch he winds up in the middle of a present-day conflict, after walking across the Friendship Bridge from Uzbekistan and into Afghanistan in 2002, in the early days of the US-led invasion.
Bissell's brutal honesty about his unpreparedness for war-zone reporting, in contrast to the hard-drinking, hard-bitten correspondents he is surrounded by, is as fascinating as his observations about the time and place that he finds himself in.
2) Cowboys and Indians, Thai-style, by Rolf Potts
I won't go too far into the debate over eating fast food in foreign countries here, but I've always thought that an unexpected encounter with the familiar while traveling can be as eye-opening as any museum-going or "authentic" cultural excursion I might undertake.
I try to create those encounters with the familiar by stopping into a Burger King or a McDonalds, even if just to look, in almost every country I visit. In this story, Rolf Potts takes the idea much further – visiting a "cowboy resort" in Thailand to see their take on the American West. Hilarious and insightful as always.
3) Walking the Line, by Ryan Murdock
In this feature from Canada's own Outpost Magazine, Ryan Murdock takes on one of the toughest walking trails in the North West Territories – and as in all the best adventure stories, the trip doesn't turn out as he expected. Beautifully written, and mixing history in with the main narrative, the story also includes a spectacular shot of the Northern Lights as a bonus. Here's a quick excerpt:
"The beauty of the North is cold and unforgiving. It isn't malevolent, simply indifferent. The land is tolerating you and that's all. You realize how easy it would be to die out there. You feel dwarfed by the land and by time, and you come to understand the folly of the day-to-day with its shallow self-importance. In the bigger picture, your existence doesn't matter very much, nor do your hopes, dreams or schemes."
4) Things Come Together: A Journey Through Literary Lagos, by Frank Bures
A night out at an author's book reading might not strike most people as fodder for a good travel story, but this story by Frank Bures proves those people wrong. It is about a night in Lagos with some of Nigeria's new literary elite, and it mixes history, literature, and some great dialogue with the young authors. Not to mention one of the more enticing descriptions of a city that I have ever read:
"In Lagos, there is a story on every corner, a novella standing in every doorway. The wind blows poems across the city like the bits of trash cover it. Lagos is a huge Dickensian space full of heartbreak and humor and millions of souls putting themselves up against the hard edge of the world. The city is pulsing with stories that flow through its streets."
Hide your piggy banks, folks. If you're anything like me, writing like that will make you want to book a flight.
5) Thailand, by Jim Benning
In yet another unexpected encounter with the familiar, Jim Benning spends an evening at a Sizzler restaurant in southern Thailand.
I had the pleasure of hearing Benning read this essay this past summer at the Book Passage Travel Writers and Photographers Conference, and it's the best defence I've come across yet for my occasional forays into chain restaurants and fast food outlets around the world.
A thoughtful meditation on the familiar, the exotic, and the blurred lines between the two.

L776 built in 1896 as a stock locomotive and stored until released from Andrew Barclay's Kilmarnock works as Firefly to fulfil an order received in June 1899 from the Mellingriffith and Co. Ltd for their Tin Plate works at Whitchurch, Glamorgan.
No. 776 Firefly arrived in Whitechurch in November 1899 and remained until around 1925 when a sale to P. Baker Ltd of Cardiff occurred. P. Baker Ltd. renamed No. 776 Albion after the company's works.
After a rebuild in 1928, the locomotive was sold by P. Baker Ltd. in 1931 to the Oxford and Shipton Cement Ltd, latterly the Alpha Cement Company of Shipton-on-Cherwell, Oxon. The company later became part of Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers who transferred the engine to their Houghton Regis, Dunstable plant in 1952.
Whilst at Dunstable a second renaming occurred where the name Punch Hull was given in honour of one of the drivers. In 1966, No. 776 Punch Hall was replaced by a diesel locomotive and in March 1967 was presented to Quainton Railway Society. Arrival at Quainton Road Buckinghamshire was delayed until April 1969, after a period of temporary storage at the London Preservation Society's (QRS forerunner) Skimpot Lane, Luton, storage depot. The Quainton Road site currently forms part of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.
No. 776 Punch Hall subsequently relocated to the Rutland Railway Museum, Cottesmore (now known as Rocks by Rail) after a change of ownership in July 1987. A restoration started with a renaming back to the original Firefly name.
Whilst at Rutland Railway Museum, Cottesmore / Rocks on Rail several changes to the ownership of the locomotive occurred, with pauses in the restoration works occurring.
A move away from Cottesmore saw the locomotive based at the Pontypool & Blaenavon railway, prior to a further change in ownership and a move to the Northampton & Lamport Railway on 28th March 2017.
Research by the various owners has revealed that some of the original drawings are present and archived in the Andrew Barclay Archive, maintained by Glasgow University. Sadly, no official works photograph has been located.
No. 776 Firefly has its own Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/fireflyno776/, through which the owner can be contacted, if you would like to help restore & operate the locomotive.

Across the globe, soccer has long been a favorite pastime and exercise activity for millions of folks, young and old. However, most people don't understand the intricacies of the game. By going through the following article, you're going to learn all of the things that go into soccer.
Getting the right kind of cleats depends on what kind of ability you have in the game of soccer. People that are just starting out should stick with plastic or synthetic ones. Players that are more advanced need to work with ones that have screw in metal in them because they can be used just about anywhere.
Avoid assuming that you are no longer in play after passing the ball. Follow the recipient of your pass and look for an opportunity to help them. Soccer is all about teamwork and you will eventually get the ball back when you are in a better position.
TIP! In soccer, your success as a player is dependent upon your team's success. You must always keep this in mind.
Throw off a defender by dribbling opposite of your intended direction. Lead the defender away and then quickly cut back in your intended direction. This is a great way to get past an opponent.
Establish some strategies with your teammates. Let them know when you intent on crossing the ball, enabling them the opportunity to position themselves to receive it. Consider establishing a pattern within the team of crossing the ball in a specific direction at certain times, then switching to the other side.
Few players know how to control lofted balls. Pass low to ensure defenders can't interfere. Lofted balls are better for long passes through an empty area.
Even if you are at the midpoint of the field, keep aware of what is going on around you. Be prepared to receive a pass and advance the ball up the field. You have to know where opponents and open teammates are during the entire game.
Use a tennis ball when you want to improve how you dribble a soccer ball. By practicing with a small ball, you will become accustomed to making adjustments to your feet to keep control of the ball. Once you are comfortable with the small ball, the soccer ball can be dribbled with ease.
It is important that you use all the different parts of your foot while you are playing soccer. If you are quickly dribbling, then you are likely using the front of your foot at the instep. To be a skilled dribbler, the ability to use the outside and inside of your foot is a must. This allows you to cut the ball from defender pressure much easier, with more control.
Sometimes, it is funner to play soccer inside rather than outside. Playing indoors allows you to play on a much smaller field. This will force you to work on decision making and ball control. This will translate to better outdoor performance whenever you decide to play outdoors again.
TIP! You need to wear proper shoes when playing soccer. You should not be wearing football cleats or tennis shoes.
Make sure to wear the appropriate cleats when playing on a muddy field. Professional players often use removable cleats for these situations. Additionally, wide spaced cleats will help you maintain control in slippery conditions. A good setup is four cleats midsole and two cleats on the heel.
Many people around the world love soccer; it is a unique sport. You may not have known much about soccer, and you are seeking more information. Hopefully, you've just been given the information you needed to glean an understanding of this glorious game and all it has to offer.


Following from my last post, I just love this cemetery. Here are some more images - Hope you like it ... as much as I did!! St. Peter's Cemetery is enclosed by large and elegant wrought iron fence. The graves are primarily of the old wealthy families of Salzburg. My of the aristocratic families of Salzburg lie buried here along with a few notable figures as well. Most of the cemetery is obviously graves… more graves and a few chapels. The graves are lovingly attended to by Salzburg families and are decorated with flowers, candles, fir branches and also angels. I was told by an old lady that Pansies were the most common here coz their name means 'thoughts'. Look… here indeed are a lot of memories and thoughts.

Cardi B rejects court plea deal, but should still make her El Paso show in May
Maria Puente
Cardi B, charged with multiple counts of assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a brawl in a Queens strip club last summer, appeared in court in New York on Friday and rejected a plea deal that would have kept her out of jail.
The Queens District Attorney's Office said the platinum-selling and Grammy-winning rapper rejected a deal that would have allowed her to plead guilty to one misdemeanor count and be released under certain conditions instead of serving time in jail.
It was not clear why she rejected the deal. Her lawyer, Jeff Kerns, did not return calls from USA TODAY. Her next court date is May 31.
That is 10 days after she is scheduled to perform at the El Paso County Coliseum. Tickets for the show start at $80, plus fees, and are available at the El Paso County Coliseum Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone at 800-745- 3000 and online at ticketmaster.com.
On Friiday, she posted a picture of herself on Instagram in her go-to-court outfit, featuring a white tunic and palazzo pants with white sandals.
Belcalis Almanzar (her real name), 26, was arrested and charged last October with multiple misdemeanor counts stemming from an early morning melee at Angels Gentlemen's Club in Queens in August. Police said she instigated the fight and members of her entourage carried it out.
The police report says a fight broke out during which chairs, bottles and hookah water pipes were thrown, injuring two women, including the bartender.
Her rejection of the plea deal means the original charges against her remain. Also, she has been ordered not to have any contact with the two injured employees, including comments on social media.
If she is convicted, she could face up to one year in jail.


While I was prepping those ingredients, I also had some baked cod & spaghetti squash in the oven.
It was...OK. Not good, not bad but was missing something. What made it pop into something delicious was some wild rice and diced tomatoes...nice save!

Posted by Choya on April 29, 2019 April 29, 2019 Dororo / First Impressions
Kono Oto Tomare – 04
Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin – 04
「しらぬいの巻」 (Shiranui no Maki)
"The Tale of Shiranui"
Coming back from a tense cliffhanger where Dororo is abducted by Itachi, this episode follows her experience as she is forced to follow him until she gives him the second half of the map to her father's fortune. In the process, we get a general impression of Itachi's whereabouts after Dororo's mother passed that shed light on what kind of person he is. However, the revulsion that Dororo has for the twisted nature of Itachi's mindset has to be put on the backburner when Shiranui summons the demon sharks, Jiromaru and Saburomaru, to devour Itachi's men.
It's hard to discuss this episode without mentioning the shark attack that occurs throughout the mid-section of its run-time. Although the demonic shark rampage has got to be the most ridiculous moment in the Dororo remake yet, I have to say it was a treat to see. It was just the right amount of goofiness to see a massive shark straight up gobbling up half of Itachi's crew as their trek for Hibikuro's fortune turns into a scene from Jaws. In a moment where Dororo mirrors her father's spirit and tenacity, she comes up with a plan to use herself as bait to swim up to the boat so that Itachi's remaining men can harpoon Saburomaru with their swords. On top of Shiranui's deep love for his sharks that compelled him to feed them his arm, his attachment allows him to synch up with the sharks as well since he's able to summon them so that they can tear apart Itachi's crew. When he has the adequate time to mourn Saburomaru's death after Dororo pressures Itachi not to beat him to death, he riles up the surviving shark Jiromaru to take up arms to murder Itachi in vengeance. This also gives us the treat of seeing an angry shark with man-eyes roar a resounding battle cry in preparation for the second round of gobbling up Itachi's crew.
Outside of the shark antics, this was a difficult episode for Dororo as Itachi holds her captive. She is rightfully infuriated to hear that Irachi was shameless enough to dig up her mother's corpse to get the first half of Hibikuro's map but also has to cooperate with him to survive their fight against Saburomaru. And just because the situation put Itachi in a vulnerable enough spot to open up doesn't mean he's given up his awful treatment of her as he forces her to strip to reveal the map, finding out she's a girl at the same time. There were awkward moments like when she was pouting towards Itachi about being hungry when he had told her the night before about digging up his mother. But overall, it was a serious episode for Dororo where she has to carry herself without Hyakkimaru and prove to herself that she's as resilient and strong as her parents in the face of danger, adversity, and hatred.
And there's no better target for hatred than Itachi, who embodies every shameless scumbag trait imaginable. Here's a guy who betrays his best friend for temporary glory, bounces back-and-forth between people to take advantage of, mocks the family he betrayed while they're at their lowest points, and even dug up the grave of his former friend's wife for half of a treasure map. There are attempts to give him a small bit of pity as he knows full well that even the samurai he previously allied with saw him as subhuman for being a brigand and has remorse for desecrating Dororo's mother's grave. That goodwill is quickly dashed when he gets back on-shore, forcefully strips Dororo for the map, and upon finding out she's a girl, continues to hold her up until her map is visible in the light. It's as if the show is rooting for you to see Itachi get eaten by a shark. But, we may have to put this section of the story on hold for next week as Hyakkimaru rediscovers his father figure Jukai.
This episode covers part of the Shiranui/Itachi arc of Tezuka's source manga.
This is the 1st time this arc's been adapted to another medium; previous adaptations (the 60s anime, 2004 PS2 game, 2007 live movie) skipped it entirely.
https://randomc.net/image/Dororo/Dororo%20-%2016%20-%2014.jpg
The shark attack turn came direct from Tezuka's pen; MAPPA didn't make this up. Given some opinions that the arc was bizarre/cheaply written manga filler, it may make sense on why previous versions chose to ditch it wholly.
The episode is faithful to the story so far, with the exception of covering Itachi's motives and thoughts further, and Shiranui being one-armed (he had both in the manga).
Next week's episode will likely be anime-original, since Hyakki never reunites with Jukai in the manga. Manga Jukai was never mentioned again after Hyakki left on his quest.

I don't know about you but Itachi is really human to me, compared to Dororo's parents who would rather starve and risk their daughter than getting the money they stashed away to save themselves, just for the sake of some stupid dream (which might have been lost forever if Itachi didn't dig up the mom anyway).
Shiranui is also another psycho. I just hope Itachi doesn't die next ep cos I want him to stick around more.

A Pandan LGU employee's attempt to stave off her suspension failed after the Regional Trial Court threw out the petition for certiorari she filed against Mayor Raul Tabibara.
In a ruling issued recently, RTC Branch 42 Acting Presiding Judge Lelu P. Contreras found that the chief executive did not act without or in excess of his jurisdiction or with grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction when he issued the Notice of Suspension to petitioner Gina T. Pagal.
The mayor issued the notice to Pagal on April 19, 2018 after receiving a copy of the decision of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) finding her liable for Disgraceful and Immoral Conduct and suspending Pagal for six months and one day without entitlement to all monetary benefits including leave credits.
Judge Contreras noted that in issuing the notice of suspension to Pagal, Mayor Tabirara was duly advised by an officer of the CSC that he could be cited in contempt for willful refusal to implement an executor decision or charged administratively and criminally.
Tabirara told the Court that the petitioner discussed with him the CSC ruling, saying that she was even happy that it was only a suspension and not dismissal and that she would no longer appeal or move for reconsideration.
He also pointed out that Pagal failed to exhaust administrative remedies when she did not seek reconsideration of the Notice of Suspension.
The issuance by the respondent of the notice is pursuant to the Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RACCS) and was not done whimsically, capriciously or arbitrarily, out of malice, ill will or personal bias by the respondent against the petitioner.
Thus, the Court stressed, it could not find evidence of malice and bad faith on the mayor's part as basis for the award of damages as well as attorney's fees to Pagal.
The CSC complaint filed by former Councilor Bella Fernandez claimed that Pagal, who was still legally married to her husband with whom she has two children, became a live-in partner of police officer Dennis Olfindo, with the cohabitation producing a child.
Pagal, on the other hand, alleged that she only began the relationship with Olfindo after seven years of de facto separation from her husband who abandoned her in 1999. She said that Fernandez filed the complaint because she (Fernandez) was a political rival of her brother.
In finding her guilty, the Commission noted that Pagal filed a Petition for Declaration of Nullity of Marriage only after Fernandez filed her complaint with the CSC.
According to Tabirara's supporters, the case against the mayor is politically motivated, as the petitioner's brother is reportedly intent on running against the chief executive in 2019.
