2011-01-16 Early reports of unrest in Libya [UPDATE 1]
Posted on August 30, 2012 by Heather Marsh
EA World View is reporting protests in Darna on the northeast coast of Libya, in Beida, the third-largest city, and at the Press Syndicate in Cairo, supporting the rising in Tunisia and calling for a change in Egypt's politics: "Revolution, revolution until victory, revolution in Tunisia, and revolution in Egypt!"
More news is appearing under the hashtag #Libya including the following:
al-bab.com has some perspective. Colonel Gaddafi has been in power for almost 42 years, compared with a mere 23 for Ben Ali.
Contrary to what many people imagine, protests and even large-scale riots are not uncommon in the Arab countries. They occur mostly in marginalised regions or among marginalised sections of the population and, normally, they pose no great threat to the regime.
Last month – one day before the trouble started in Tunisia – there was a Sunni-versus-Shia riot in the Saudi city of Medina. Eight hundred people are said to have taken part; windows were smashed and dozens of cars damaged or destroyed. Outside the kingdom, hardly anyone noticed.
The tricky part is judging the significance of such protests when they occur. One test is whether they are outside the norm for the country concerned: ten dead in a tribal battle with the Yemeni army would be no big deal, but the same thing in Oman, next door, would be hugely significant.
Applying the "Tunisia test", the following are also useful pointers for distinguishing minor from major protests:
1. Disturbances sustained for more than a few days.
2. Disturbances steadily growing in strength and spreading to other areas, especially those areas not traditionally regarded as marginalised.
3. Focus of protests shifting strongly from the original grievances to a more generalised critique of the regime.
4. Regime starting to show signs of inability to reassert control.
UPDATE 1:
Al Jazeera (Arabic) reports people in several Libyan cities have broken into thousands of housing units after an interview in Sabha with Muammar Gaddafi. Thousands of citizens stormed a project containing 800 residential units in the city of Benghazi in Aguarcp. [Very bad translation: if anyone has a better, please post in the comments. Thank you.]

2011-04-10 Gadhafi accepts African Union ceasefire guidelines #Libya
Image from Reuters
A delegation of the African Union met today with Muammar Gadhafi and South African president Jacob Zuma announced "We have completed our mission with the brother leader, and the brother leader's delegation has accepted the road map as presented by us." The AU mission, is headed by Mauritanian president Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and also includes, according to Al Jazeera, "Amadou Toumani Toure, Denis Sassou Nguessou and Yoweri Museveni – respectively the presidents of Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda." Since Denis Sassou Nguessou is the president of the Republic of Congo and the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo is Joseph Kabila, and both are members of the AU, it is unclear who the fifth country is. As reported on WL Central on March 20, the same delegation had earlier condemned the violence in Libya, but at that point the AFP unhelpfully referred to the fifth country as "the Congo". The Guardian says it is the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), and further says Uganda's foreign minister attended, not the president.
The agreement apparently calls for: a ceasefire and protection of civilians, humanitarian aid for Libyans and foreign workers – "especially Africans", dialogue between the two sides, an inclusive transitional period, and political reforms which "meet the aspirations of the Libyan people". The delegation will meet the anti-Gaddafi forces tomorrow and if they also agree, it will remain to be seen whether this cease fire is obeyed more than the one imposed by the United Nations was.
Anti-Gadhafi forces do not seem able to win a revolution with only a no fly zone and they have been condemning the NATO intervention as insufficient, demanding heavy artillery and more air strikes against Gadhafi forces. NATO has instead accidentally attacked tanks and fighters from the anti-Gadhafi side, and brought down an attempt by anti-Gadhafi forces to use a plane themselves. In a statement from NATO: As an example of NATO impartiality, a fighter aircraft (MiG 23) flown by TNC forces was intercepted and forced to land within minutes of taking off from the Benina Airfield near Bengazi yesterday. Under the UN mandated No-Fly-Zone no unauthorized aircraft is permitted to fly in Libyan airspace.
Al Jazeera reported today: Gaddafi's soldiers occupied Ajdabiya for just 24 hours. In that time doctors here say 13 civilians were killed and more than a dozen injured. "We have no coordination. We have no organisation. We really have no strategy. We have no commander," Nasir Faraj, an irrigation engineer-turned fighter told Reuters. "Whenever Gaddafi starts bombarding us we just discuss what to do among ourselves and move. Some people run in one direction, and others go another way."

2011-04-07 African refugees murdered, drowned in the Mediterranean
The UK's Independent is reporting from an Eritrean priest who tracks migrants across the Mediterranean that the bodies of murdered African migrants have been washing ashore in Libya. Father Mussie Zerai, who is in Rome, says that his contacts in Tripoli have seen five bodies in a hospital that are thought to be part of a group of approximately 335 predominantly Eritrean and Ethiopian refugees who have been missing since a few hours after departing Tajura on March 22 in a boat driven by a smuggler. "There are five bodies in total, two women, two boys and an Egyptian who we believe was the boat's captain. Their bodies have gunshot wounds in them. Somebody shot them after they left Libya. … This is a murky affair which must be investigated." Father Zerai is quoted as saying.
A relative of two of the passengers reported them missing to Father's Zerai's organisation, Agenzia Habeshia, and human rights organization Everyone Group who say they immediately alerted the authorities to ask for patrols to be sent into international waters and requested the intervention of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. "This morning, after two weeks of inaction and indifference from the authorities and international institutions, we heard from Don Mussie Zerai that the bodies of those migrants, riddled with bullets, are being washed ashore," Roberto Malini, Matteo Pegoraro and Dario Picciau, co-presidents of the international humanitarian organization EveryOne Group reported. "It would appear that the boat carrying the refugees was attacked in the Mediterranean, and that the shots were so rapid that the migrants did not have time to sound the alarm with the satellite phone they'd taken on board."
EveryOne Group also criticizes Europe's failure to send personnel and vessels to patrol the international waters between Italy and Libya, especially after the tragedy last night when a boat capsized with 200 Somalis and Eritreans on board (of which only 47 were rescued). "These tragedies out at sea" continue Malini, Pegoraro and Picciau, "highlight the lack of rescue plans for refugees. We need to deploy resources – both boats and aircraft – and modern rescue equipment, seeing the great number of migrants who are setting sail as we write despite the adverse weather conditions. There is a lack of advanced monitoring and logistics able to act urgently and effectively when the engine failure of a vessel is reported or an SOS is launched. It would appear that Europe is more focused on actions that will prevent the flow of refugees and getting round the Geneva Convention than implementing the necessary humanitarian policies."
The plight of sub-Saharan Africans in Libya has been reported since the protests began on February 15, and yet very little has been done to evacuate them from the area. Father Zerai said "These were entirely preventable deaths. They could have been avoided if only Europe had heeded our pleas before the bombing began when we asked for the emergency evacuation of all refugees trapped on Libyan cities. So far only Italy has taken steps to evacuate around 110 refugees from Tripoli. Other European countries have preferred to take their time. As the refugees get more desperate they resort to making a dangerous journey across the Mediterranean on boats filled with desperate people hoping to rebuild their lives."
This morning Italy searched for survivors after a boat with an estimated 200 Eritrean, Somalian and Sudanese refugees capsized off the island of Lampedusa. Rescuers managed to save 53 of them. The United Nations earlier reported two boats which departed Libya on March 22 and 25, carrying 335 and 68 refugees, were missing according to relatives. Last weekaround 60 bodies were washed up on the Libyan coast.
In addition to the estimated 2.5 million sub-Saharan Africans who already live in Libya, Europe worries that Libya may now be acting as an open gate from Africa. In 2008, Libya signed a treaty with Italy which required the Libyan navy to patrol and intercept migrant Africans trying to reach Europe, but when the UN began bombing Libya, Moussa Ibrahim announced that Libya would no longer stop sub-Saharan and other refugees from trying to enter Europe by boat. Italy's Interior Minister Roberto Maroni has announced "The prime minister will today sign a decree giving those already in Italy… a temporary residence permit for humanitarian protection that will allow them to travel around the Schengen zone. The overwhelming majority of the migrants want to join friends and relatives in France or other European countries." France has already returned a large number of immigrants crossing the border from Italy and promises to continue doing so, despite no border controls within the 25-nation Schengen zone, which includes most members of the European Union as well as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.

2011-03-27 Anti Gaddafi forces claim Sirte, advance on Tripoli #Libya
The Libyan foreign intervention will pass from the US led force to NATO command, led by Canadian General Charles Bouchard, with the transition completing "within 48 hours".
The anti-Gaddafi forces are once more moving west at a rapid pace, currently claiming to control Sirte, the home of Muammar Gaddafi. Shamsi Abdul Molah, a spokesman for the opposition's National Council, told Al Jazeera that opposition forces had moved into the city at approximately 11.30pm Sunday night. Now AFP is reporting nine powerful explosions heard in Sirte.
Al Jazeera has reported that anti Gaddafi forces are now in control of Bin Jawad, Ras Lanuf, Uqayla, Brega and Ajdabiya, and they say Gaddafi forces are retreating and surrendering each town without a fight. Anti-Gaddafi forces expect a major battle in Tripoli, where Muammar Gaddafi was reported to be Sunday night, since they did not meet with one in Sirte. Fighting broke out again in Misurata, which has been heavily attacked from the air by French and British forces. Air strikes were also reported on Tripoli, Tarhunah, Sabha and Sirte.
UN / NATO air strikes continued in Tripoli Sunday night. Libyan officials said on Sundaythat nearly 100 civilians had been killed by foreign forces. "The terror people live in, the fear, the tension is everywhere. And these are civilians who are being terrorised every day," said Mussa Ibrahim, a Libyan government spokesman. "We believe the unnecessary continuation of the air strikes is a plan to put the Libyan government in a weak negotiating position. NATO is prepared to kill people, destroy army training camps and army checkpoints and other locations. … (Western nations) are starving the Libyan population, (they want) to put Libya on its knees, to beg for mercy. It's a very simple plan. We can see it happening in front of our eyes. They are not trying to protect civilians."
Al Jazeera has posted some extremely upsetting and graphic video from houses that were bombed.

Submitted by Heather Marsh on Sat, 03/05/2011 – 06:02
WL Central will be updating news on Libya, with new items added at the top. You can contact me on twitter @GeorgieBC or by email atadmin@wlcentral.org.
Current time and date in Tripoli:
11:00 PM The US Treasury has said that US$30 billion in Libyan assets have been blocked and US naval ships and planes are being moved closer to Libya, "planning and preparing" for missions, "whether humanitarian or otherwise". Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, would not discuss military options but said that the US would consider a range of responses against Gaddafi if he continued to attack his own people. David Cameron said the UK did not rule out the use of force against Muammar Gaddafi and he has asked colleagues to work on plans for a no-fly zone and would consider arming the Libyan opposition.
France is sending two planes with humanitarian aid, including medicine and doctors, to Benghazi – the first direct western aid to the uprising.
9:00 PM Muammar Gaddafi tells BBC that no one is protesting against him, no one is against him, all the Libyan people love him and would die for him. He says the people protesting are Al Qaeda.
8:20 PM Al Arabiya reports an interview with a Revolutionary Guards Corps colonel who said Iran has "several military bases" in Libya, mostly along Libya's borders with the African countries of Chad and Niger. He said that Iran and Libya have been collaborating on these bases since 2006, and "with the current unrest in Libya, over 500 Guards have been unable to evacuate and are under orders to destroy all documents".
Saif al Islam Gaddafi holding a machine gun and shouting slogans to supporters. Yesterday said in interviews that everything was calm, the Gaddafis were "in high spirits" and "laughing" at reports of unrest.
Carne Ross, a former British diplomat who resigned in 2004 after giving then-secret evidence to a British inquiry into the Iraq war, wrote on his blog about the UN recommendation to the ICC.
Paragraphs 22-23 invite states to nominate regime members (inc military, police etc) who are responsible for human rights abuses and attacks on civilians. These individuals will be added to the list of those subject – immediately – to the assets freeze and travel ban: the sanctions imposed in other paras of the resolution. I don't claim that this will bring about the immediate end of the Gadhaffi regime, but it's something, and may have some deterrent effect.
The invitation to states to nominate these criminals is all very well, but with no diplomats in situ I don't see how outside states can know who these people might be. Instead, how about providing a channel for Libyans on the ground observing the crimes of the regime to nominate people? Perhaps Human Rights Watch, Amnesty and others could think about this. Why don't they invite nominations? Why don't some right-thinking states including those who drafted and pushed this resolution do so too? I'm thinking perhaps of an email address where Libyans can nominate people for sanctions, or as others like Richard Robbins have suggested more imaginatively, what about a wiki which people on the ground could contribute evidence of crimes and abuses? Wouldn't it be great if the UN itself – and quickly -were to set up such a site? But it needs to happen fast!
The Telegraph reports that when the UN Security Council called Saturday night for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate the killings of demonstrators, the US insisted that the UN resolution was worded so that no one from an outside country that is not a member of the ICC could be prosecuted for their actions in Libya. Algeria, Ethiopia and Tunisia were all pointed out by the Telegraph as being states which were ported to have mercenaries in Libya, but were not members of the ICC.
The move was seen as an attempt to prevent a precedent that could see Americans prosecuted by the ICC for alleged crimes in other conflicts. While the US was once among the signatories to the court, George W. Bush withdrew from it in 2002 and declared that it did not have power over Washington.
The demonstrations in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan have both involved unidentified, possibly US, security forces shooting protesters.
More from Al Jazeera on the provisional Libyan government with the temporary capital to be in Benghazi until Tripoli is liberated. The interim president is Abud Ajleil, and the government will undertake the development of a new constitution, flag and anthem once all of Libya has been liberated. Former Libyan justice minister Mustafa Mohamed Abdel Jalil told Al Jazeera the provisional government "will lead for no more than three months – and then there will be fair elections and the people will choose their leader." About the provisional president, he said, "He is a very honest man. He was in charge of the justice issue in the eastern part of Libya when the regime asked him to hang an innocent Libyan citizen and he refused. I am sure he will gain support of all Libyans and of the international community." He repeated many times that the capital will be in Tripoli.
Al Jazeera reports 2000 Gaddafi troops have surrounded the city of Zawiyah where the protesters say more than 2000 police had defected and were now with the protesters. The protesters also say they have seized weapons and even tanks to defend themselves.

A good description of Benghazi's interim government headquarters from Al Jazeera includes more information on the underground prisoners of Benghazi. First reported as 2-300, the number swelled within hours to 1500 and stayed there, but according to Al Jazeera's interview "false reports spread that protesters in Benghazi had found hundreds of political prisoners held underground for decades (in fact, a dozen or so were released, and their internment was several times smaller than had been reported, Sanalla said.)"
From Al JazeeraThe UN Security Council has unanimously imposed travel bans and asset freezes on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, members of his family and inner circle.
A lawyer and member of a local committee told AFP "The towns of Rhibat, Kabaw, Jado, Rogban, Zentan, Yefren, Kekla, Gherien and Hawamed have also been free for days. In all these towns, Gaddafi's forces have gone and a revolutionary committee put in place. We have placed ourselves under the authority of the interim government in Benghazi." The reporter also found that in Nalut, 24km west of Tripoli, Gaddafi's security forces had entirely disappeared from the streets.

In Swift, Decisive Action, Security Council Imposes Tough Measures on Libyan Regime, Adopting Resolution 1970 in Wake of Crackdown on Protesters
Situation Referred to International Criminal Court;
Secretary-General Expresses Hope Message 'Heard and Heeded' in Libya
Deploring what it called "the gross and systematic violation of human rights" in strife-torn Libya, the Security Council this evening demanded an end to the violence and decided to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court while imposing an arms embargo on the country and a travel ban and assets freeze on the family of Muammar Al-Qadhafi and certain Government officials.
Unanimously adopting resolution 1970 (2011) under Article 41 of the Charter's Chapter VII, the Council authorized all Member States to seize and dispose of military-related materiel banned by the text and adopt "all measures necessary" to secure the prompt and safe delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need.
Through the text, the Council also decided to establish a new committee to monitor sanctions, to liaison with Member States on compliance and to respond to violations and to designate the individuals subject to the targeted measures. Individuals and entities immediately subjected to the targeted sanctions were listed in an Annex to the resolution.
Regarding its referral of the situation in Libya since 15 February 2011 to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, the Council recognized that States not party to the Rome Statute that established the Court had no obligations to it, but urged all States and concerned organizations to cooperate fully with the Court's Prosecutor.
The Council affirmed it would keep the actions of the Libyan authorities under continuous review and would be prepared to strengthen, modify, suspend or lift the prescribed measures in light of compliance or non-compliance with the resolution.
Following the adoption of the text, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the Council's "decisive" action. "While it cannot, by itself, end the violence and the repression, it is a vital step — a clear expression of the will of a united community of nations," he said.
He expressed hope that the message that "gross violations of basic human rights will not be tolerated and that those responsible for grave crimes will be held accountable" would be "heard and heeded" by the Libyan regime and that it would bring hope and relief to those still at risk. He looked for similar action from the General Assembly and the international community as a whole, and warned that even bolder steps might be necessary.
In their explanations of vote, Council members welcomed the unanimity of the action and expressed solidarity with the people of Libya, hoping that their "swift and decisive" intervention would help bring them relief. Many expressed hope that the resolution was a strong step in affirming the responsibility of States to protect their people as well as the legitimate role of the Council to step in when they failed to meet that responsibility.
With the referral of the situation to the International Criminal Court, France's representative hoped the vote would open a new era in commitment to the protection of populations. Further to that goal, Brazil's representative expressed strong reservations to the provision in the resolution allowing for exemptions from jurisdiction of nationals from non-States parties, saying those were not helpful to advance the cause of justice and accountability.
Noting that five Council members were not parties to the Rome Statute that set up the International Criminal Court, including India, that country's representative said he would have preferred a "calibrated approach" to the issue. However, he was convinced that the referral would help to bring about the end of violence and he heeded the call of the Secretary-General on the issue, while stressing the importance of the provisions in the resolution regarding non-States parties to the Statute.
Some speakers, such as the representatives of Lebanon and the Russian Federation, stressed the importance of affirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya. The Chinese representative said he had supported the resolution taking into account the special circumstances in Libya.
Speaking last, Libya's representative said that the Council's action represented moral support for his people and was a signal that an end must be put to the fascist regime in Tripoli. He launched an appeal to all the officers of the Libyan armed forces to support their own people, and welcomed the referral to the International Criminal Court, as well as the decision not to impose sanctions on those who might abandon Mr. Al-Qadhafi in the end.
Also speaking this evening were the representatives of the United Kingdom, South Africa, Nigeria, United States, Colombia, Portugal, Germany, and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Gabon.
The meeting was opened at 8:10 p.m. and closed at 8:55 p.m.
The full text of resolution 1970 (2011) reads as follows:
"Expressing grave concern at the situation in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and condemning the violence and use of force against civilians,
"Deploring the gross and systematic violation of human rights, including the repression of peaceful demonstrators, expressing deep concern at the deaths of civilians, and rejecting unequivocally the incitement to hostility and violence against the civilian population made from the highest level of the Libyan government,

"Considering that the widespread and systematic attacks currently taking place in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya against the civilian population may amount to crimes against humanity,
"Expressing concern at the plight of refugees forced to flee the violence in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,

5. Qadhafi, Mutassim

MARK LYALL GRANT (United Kingdom) welcomed the adoption, noting that his country was gravely concerned over the violence and had condemned the actions of the Libyan leadership. The text, he said, was a powerful signal of the determination of the international community to stand with the Libyan people as they charted their future.
HARDEEP SINGH PURI ( India) hoped that calm and stability were restored without further violence and called for measures to ensure the safety of the Indian population in Libya, as well as those attempting to leave. Noting that five Council members were not parties to the Rome Statute, including India, he said he would have preferred a "calibrated approach" to the issue. However, he was convinced that the referral of the situation to the International Criminal Court would help to bring about the end of violence, and he heeded the call of the Secretary-General on the issue. He, therefore, had voted in favour of the resolution, while stressing the importance of its provisions regarding non-States parties to the Rome Statute.
BASO SANGQU (South Africa) said his country was deeply concerned about the situation in Libya. The resolution adopted by the Security Council sent a clear and unambiguous message to Libya to stop the indiscriminate use of force in that country, and the measures it contained could contribute to the long-term objective of bringing peace and stability to the nation.
U. JOY OGWU (Nigeria) said that she was deeply concerned about the inflammatory rhetoric and loss of life occurring in Libya. As many had been calling for swift action, it was fitting that the Council had taken decisive action today. Nigeria supported the resolution and its "comprehensive" targeted sanctions. It was convinced that the text would deter individuals from supporting the regime and would provide for the protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian and human rights law. The delegation believed that the resolution would swiftly address the ongoing violence.
SUSAN RICE ( United States) welcomed the fact that the Council had spoken with one voice this evening, in a clear warning to the Libyan Government that it must stop the killing. Calling the text a strong resolution, she said that this was about people's ability to shape their own future. Their rights were not negotiable and could not be denied.
NAWAF SALAM (Lebanon), noting the denunciation by the League of Arab States of the crimes committed against Libyan civilians, said he concurred with its opinion, as well as its support for the right of Libyan citizens to express their opinion. That was why he had voted in favour of the resolution. He stressed the importance of reaffirming the territorial unity of Libya and expressed deep sorrow over the lives lost.
VITALY CHURKIN ( Russian Federation) said he supported the resolution because of his country's deep concern over the situation, its sorrow over the lives lost and its condemnation of the Libyan Government's actions. He opposed counterproductive interventions, but he said that the purpose of the resolution was to end the violence and to preserve the united sovereign State of Libya with its territorial integrity. Security for foreign citizens, including Russian citizens, must be ensured.
LI BAODONG ( China) said that China was very much concerned about the situation in Libya. The greatest urgency was to cease the violence, to end the bloodshed and civilian casualties, and to resolve the crisis through peaceful means, such as dialogue. The safety and interest of the foreign nationals in Libya must be assured. Taking into account the special circumstances in Libya, the Chinese delegation had voted in favour of the resolution.
NÉSTOR OSORIO (Colombia) said the Colombian Government was pleased with the resolution, which had emerged as a result of a "timely process of consultation", in tune with the sense of urgency demanded by the international community. The resolution sent the "direct and solid message" that the violence in Libya must cease and that those responsible for it must answer for their crimes. Moreover, the decision to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court was an appropriate one. Colombia clearly rejected the calls for violence from official sectors in Libya, and condemned the violation of basic rights and freedoms of that country's citizens, including the right to life and to peaceful assembly. Colombia had co-sponsored yesterday's Human Rights Council resolution on the situation. Libya must find a way to respond legitimately to its people's demands, and the international community must remain united to bring an end to the violence there.
JOSÉ FILIPE MORAES CABRAL (Portugal) welcomed the unanimous adoption of the resolution, which he said sent a clear, united message against the crimes being committed against civilians in Libya. He expressed deep concern over the plight of refugees and other humanitarian issues, including the safety of foreigners. Impunity would not be tolerated and serious crimes would be prosecuted.
GÉRARD ARAUD (France) welcomed the fact that the Council had unanimously answered yesterday's appeal by the Libyan representative. The referral of the matter to the International Criminal Court might ensure that those responsible for the crimes were brought to justice. The Court had once again showed the rationale for its existence. The resolution recalled the accountability of each State for the protection of its population and the role of the international community when that responsibility was not met. He hoped the vote would open a new era for the international community as a whole.
PETER WITTIG ( Germany) welcomed what he called the Council's swift, decisive, united and strong message that the violation of the rights of the Libyan people would not be tolerated. The referral to the International Criminal Court demonstrated the determination not to allow impunity. It should be clear to all that the Council would continue to follow the situation closely.
IVAN BARBALIĆ (Bosnia and Herzegovina) said that in the current situation time was of the essence, and that the Security Council had to react "unanimously and urgently" to end the violence and prevent further escalation of the situation in Libya. His delegation had closely followed the popular movement in Libya, and was appalled at the "unacceptable level of violence" targeted at civilians there. Bosnia and Herzegovina condemned in the strongest possible terms the violence and loss of life, and therefore fully supported the decision to refer those responsible to the International Criminal Court. He called for an immediate stop to the violence. Worried about the outflow of refugees and the high number of internally displaced persons there, he called on international organizations to provide humanitarian aid and services to those affected by the violence.
ALFRED ALEXIS MOUNGARA MOUSSOTSI (Gabon) said that the situation existing in Libya over the last two weeks required an answer and a "strong, clear message" from the Security Council. Gabon had decided to add its voice to the resolution, not only to end the violence, but also to advise the Libyan regime of the consequences of its actions. Gabon was also ready to support other measures that the Council might adopt in support of the Libyan people and their right to life and free speech.
MARIA LUIZA RIBEIRO VIOTTI ( Brazil) said that her delegation was deeply disturbed by the dramatic situation in Libya. The measures adopted today were meant to halt the violence, ensure the protection of civilians and promote respect for international law. The resolution was a "clear signal" of the Council's readiness to respond to the situation in a manner consistent with its responsibilities. Brazil was a long-standing supporter of the integrity and universalization of the Rome Statute, and opposed the exemption from jurisdiction of nationals of those countries not parties to it. Brazil, therefore, expressed its strong reservation to the resolution's operative paragraph 6, and reiterated its firm conviction that initiatives aimed at establishing those exemptions were not helpful to advance the cause of justice and accountability.
IBRAHIM DABBASHI ( Libya) expressed his condolences to the martyrs who had fallen under the repression of the Libyan regime, and thanked Council Members for their unanimous action, which represented moral support for his people, who were resisting the attacks. The resolution would be a signal that an end must be put to the fascist regime in Tripoli.
He launched an appeal to all the officers of the Libyan armed forces to support their own people and renounce their support for Muammar Al-Qadhafi, whom he called "criminal" and whom he said was prepared to go to extremes to keep up the repression. He appealed also to the Libyan people to keep up their struggle to restore the State to the people. He welcomed, in addition, the referral of the situation to the International Criminal Court and the fact that sanctions were not being imposed on those who might abandon Mr. Al-Qadhafi in the end.
BAN KI-MOON, United Nations Secretary-General, welcomed the resolution. "While it cannot, by itself, end the violence and the repression, it is a vital step — a clear expression of the will of a united community of nations," he said. Calling the events in Libya "clear-cut violations of all norms governing international behaviour and serious transgressions of international human rights and humanitarian law", he said it was of great importance that the Council was determined to reach consensus and uphold its responsibilities.
He hoped that the strong message that "gross violations of basic human rights will not be tolerated and that those responsible for grave crimes will be held accountable" would be heeded by the regime in Libya and that it would bring hope and relief to those still at risk. The sanctions were a necessary step to speed the transition to a new system of governance that had the people's consent and participation.
He pledged to monitor the situation closely and remain in touch with world and regional leaders to support swift and concrete action. Expressing solidarity with the Libyan people in coping with the humanitarian impacts, he hoped that the new future for which they yearned would soon be theirs. Commending the Council for its decisive action, he looked for similar determination from the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council.
"Today's measures are tough. In the coming days even bolder action may be necessary," he said.

Far from pitch perfect
It may be a platitude that's become a glaring generalisation, but the phrase 'the pitch process is broken' is as relevant now as it's ever been.
Agencies have been complaining that the pitch process is broken for years, and yet it remains intact; unchanged, unbowed, unshaken by the protestations of many.
For most agencies it remains the biggest cause of frustration. They lose talent and morale, only for some of their best work to end up in an ever-expanding graveyard of ideas.
Why has nothing changed, despite years of discontent? And why are clients continuing to abuse an industry that is supposedly there for their benefit?
"Agencies don't value the work they do. Giving it away for free is proof enough…" – Adil Khan, CEO Saatchi & Saatchi MENA
Adil Khan, chief executive of Saatchi & Saatchi Middle East and North Africa, lays the blame firmly at the feet of agencies themselves. "Agencies don't value the work they do," he says. "Giving it away for free is proof enough, and we will make insane investments to prove to a yet-to-be-valuable client that we are the right agency partners for them. Perhaps clients could be more surer of what they are shopping for – an idea, a partner or just injecting new energy to their brands, while these are all plausible reasons for calling a pitch they do demand different approaches from the agency."
Transparency, the absence of any limits, ill-prepared pitch invitations and exercises, disruption to current workloads, drawn out pitch processes, politically-motivated decisions, cost, and a potentially high level of subjectivity in the ultimate decision and outcome, are just a few of the causes for concern, according to Kamal Dimachkie, executive regional managing director at Leo Burnett.
"A creative pitch is an expensive endeavour and it has to be paid for."--Kamal Dimachkie, executive regional managing director Leo Burnett.
"The process is broken because it is mostly wasteful of time and energy, it lacks transparency, it fails to expose the areas that demonstrate capability, competence and fit to enable a properly informed decision, and it is not representative of a real-life model that can predict success," says Dimachkie. "The current model is akin to a couple making a lifelong impacting decision to wed after one or two conversations. Little wonder that the rate of divorce in adland is so high and rising. Strange, though, that we only see a repeat of the same process."
However, Tarek Haddad, managing director of J. Walter Thompson Beirut, argues that the pitch is not broken, just abused.
"Pitches have turned into an increasingly 'short-term' Tinder-like experience simply looking for the right work for a minimum price."--Tarek Haddad, MD J. Walter Thompson Beirut
"Ignoring the few pertinent reasons for a pitch, the majority of pitches are done at arms-length from the agency, with little to no consideration of team chemistry and an increased focus on a required shopping-list of deliverables, vis-à-vis an increasingly lowered remuneration," says Haddad. "This has turned what should be considered as a search for a 'long-term' partnership that drives value by solving business problems, into an increasingly 'short-term' Tinder-like experience simply looking for the right work for a minimum price."
Agency frustration is only likely to continue, or even get worse, as the increased frequency of pitches is spurred on by the pressures being felt by clients.
"As the advertising industry continues to move away from the retainer model and to a more fast-paced project-based model, pitches will have to be streamlined and look for increased operational and deployment expertise to answer all requirements, as well as work that works," insists Haddad. "The days of the old 'shopping-list' pitch requirements are unfortunately not behind us yet – the question 'how does the idea work on outdoor' should be a thing of the past today with an increased focus on solving business problems through data and media neutrality and buying work that works."
Agency frustration on its own, however, will not bring about change, although it has led to individual action. Some agencies, for example, have opted out altogether, refusing to respond to the majority of RFPs. Others have redirected their efforts towards the direct pursuit of clients, while others will only participate in reviews led by respected third party intermediaries.
"The advertising community needs to take action," insists Dimachkie. "Until such a time when we have put [up] behavioural roadblocks the current pitching practice will continue undeterred. To succeed, the communication industry needs either to take something away or introduce a new variable that can modify the current behaviour and, literally, force the behavioural change we all desperately desire.
"Today, the pitch process relatively involves no pain for the clients; there is no cost, there is no disruption and there is no downside. Admittedly, clients need to allocate time, and some will think through the requirements and preparations more than others. This is nothing compared to what an agency will go through, and it is nothing compared to the expense an agency will get through in the pursuit of potential growth. As a result, clients have no incentive to stop what they are currently doing because, for them, it is working. Why should a client modify the process when they can call any number of agencies, get them to work for free, then evaluate the output and judge it when the only response they get is a resounding 'yes' and almost full participation? If I were a client, I would change absolutely nothing."
Initiatives to bring some sense to the pitch process have been attempted in the past. The UAE chapter of the IAA launched a voluntary code of best practice back in 2012, encouraging the industry to adopt the code as a guidance tool to "better approach the often challenging and costly steps involved in the pitch process".
Yet nothing changed. A few maverick clients with a focus on finding the 'perfect creative solution partner' are exceptions that only prove the rule.
"We need to start seeing a change in the process itself," says Dimachkie. "A comprehensive creative shootout is not called for and not necessarily an indication of an agency's future ability to address challenges."
He believes an alternative process would begin with the conducting of an RFI exercise to gather information about the agency and its people, followed by: chemistry meetings to enable and facilitate a real conversation; the thorough checking of references; the construction of relationship frameworks that enable agencies to benefit from growth and to be affected by underperformance; the creation of two-way relationship evaluation mechanisms that encourage performance; and the identifying of areas of opportunity and the addressing of weaknesses and counter-productive behaviour to get real solutions.
"Beyond the above, we need to see a change in mindset and a change in actual behaviour," he adds. "The mindset change is a respect for creativity and ideas, and the value they add. Yes, creativity builds equity and puts money in the bank, and therefore should not be either commoditised nor obtained for free. Second, pitches ought to be paid for in recognition of the above, and as proof of the recognition that a creative pitch, as an ultimate resort, is an expensive endeavour and it has to be paid for.
"The last word has to be reserved for us – the agencies. We have to get our heads around creating a deterrent to the free-exchange that we are self-inflicting and perpetuating. What is it that we have to do as a body that collectively protects creativity. There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a transformation with all the opportunities and changes it will bring. Paid-for ideas needs to be central to whatever emerges from this journey."

Attorneys representing the state of Missouri announced Monday they will drop a felony invasion of privacy charge against Gov. Eric Greitens, after the attorney prosecuting the case was named as a witness in the trial.
However, the decision might only mark a temporary victory for Greitens. Prosecutors said they plan to name either a special prosecutor or one of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner's assistants to refile the charge and move forward with the case.
"The court's order leaves the Circuit Attorney no adequate means of proceeding with this trial," Gardner's office said in a statement. "Therefore, the court has left the circuit Attorney with no other legal option than to dismiss and refile this matter."
Greitens' team named Gardner as a possible defense witness, something her office's statement called a tactic "to distract people from the defendant's actions."
Greitens faced the invasion of privacy charge stemming from a photo he allegedly took of a woman with whom he had an affair, when she was bound and blindfolded. The governor has also been charged with felony computer tampering relating to his campaign's alleged use of a charity donor list.
As he has found himself in legal jeopardy, Greitens is confronting a fight for his political life, with Missouri House and Senate leaders set to convene a special legislative session Friday to consider impeaching the governor.
A Missouri House committee investigating Greitens is also moving ahead with its work, announcing in a brief meeting Monday that subpoenas have been issued for the Greitens for Missouri campaign, the pro-Greitens nonprofit group A New Missouri, and the governor's former campaign manager and top political adviser Austin Chambers. CNN has previously reached out to Chambers' attorney for comment but has not received a response.
Greitens has maintained his innocence of any crimes and panned the investigations into his conduct as a "political witch hunt." But a roster of Missouri Republican lawmakers have called on the governor to step down, including Attorney General Josh Hawley, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in the upcoming midterm elections.
Greitens celebrated the decision on Twitter.
"Today, the prosecutor dropped the false charges against me," he said. "This was a great victory and a long time coming. I've said from the beginning that I am innocent."
Today, the prosecutor dropped the false charges against me.
This was a great victory and a long time coming. I've said from the beginning that I am innocent.
— Eric Greitens (@EricGreitens) May 14, 2018
He added, "This experience has also been humbling, and I've emerged from it a changed man. I believe that in all of our lives, we have to deal with pain, and that if we deal with it in the right way, we can learn wisdom."
Missouri House Speaker Todd Richardson, House Speaker Pro Tem Elijah Haahr, and House Majority Leader Rob Vescovo issued a joint statement calling for the legislature's work investigating Greitens to continue.
"The legislature is a separate and a co-equal branch of government with a separate responsibility entrusted to it by our Constitution. We owe it to Missourians to have a fair and thorough investigation of the facts," the statement said.
"To date the committee's work has not only provided two reports on the facts to the General Assembly but, more importantly, it has also exposed additional concerns relating to the governor's conduct. This is why we remain committed to that process and await any recommendations it has for the House. Without the pending trial this week, it allows the Governor to take advantage of our open offer to share his side of the facts."
Republican Missouri Senate leaders similarly said the charge being dropped doesn't change the situation.
"The dismissal of the felony invasion of privacy charge does not change the facts that have been revealed to the Missouri House of Representative's Special Committee on Oversight," the statement aid. "The House's investigation and the Circuit Attorney's case are two separate paths. The members of the House committee have discovered a disturbing pattern of allegations, most of which are completely separate from the case dismissed today."
"They need time to finish their investigation. We now hope the governor and his staff are more forthcoming with the facts, and they decide to appear before the special investigative committee. The governor has lost the moral authority and the ability to lead the state going forward, and we reaffirm our call that he resign immediately."

Q: XmlSerializer does not deserialize a List The class I'm trying to serialize and deserialize (roughly):
class MyDto
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    private List<string> _uniqueNameStrings = new List<string>();

    [XmlArray("UniqueNames")]
    [XmlArrayItem("string")]
    public List<string> UniqueNameStrings
    {
       get => _uniqueNameStrings;
       set => _uniqueNameStrings = value ?? new List<string>();
    }
}

Previous version without null-checking, not working either:
class MyDto
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlArray("UniqueNames")]
    [XmlArrayItem("string")]
    public List<string> UniqueNameStrings { get; set; }
}

Schema generated for this class:
<xs:complexType name="MyDto">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Name" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="UniqueNames" type="ArrayOfString" />
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfString">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="string" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

And the effect of serialization:
<MyDto>
    <Name>MyDtoName</Name>
    <UniqueNames>
        <string>SomeName</string>
        <string>SomeOtherName</string>
        <!-- ... <-->
    </UniqueNames>
</MyDto>

So serialization looks to be working properly, the problem is that when deserializing, XML seems to ignore the string values altogether. This is the calling code:
using System.IO.Abstractions;

private IFileSystem _fileSystem;

public void SerializeDto(object dto, string filePath)
{
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(dto.GetType());

    using (var streamWriter = _fileSystem.FileStream.Create(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
    {
        serializer.Serialize(streamWriter, dto);
        streamWriter.Flush();
    }
}

public T DeserializeDto<T>(string filePath) where T : class
{
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

    using (var streamReader = _fileSystem.FileStream.Create(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
    {
        return (T) serializer.Deserialize(streamReader);
    }
}

The Name property (as well as all others that I have omitted for simplicity) are properly deserialized, while the UniqueNames are left empty. I've put a breakpoint at the set method and I can see that the deserializer invokes it with value equivalent to an empty List<string>, as if the <string> elements did not exist. Since I can't look into the XML code to see what's going on there, I'm stuck. Any ideas on why XmlSerializer ignores the values in the string array? Especially since it had itself serialized the values into this very format, and now can't handle reading it back...

A: Try this:
[XmlRoot]
public class MyDto
{
    [XMLElement]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlArray("UniqueNames"), XmlArrayItem("UniqueName")]
    public List<string> UniqueNameStrings { get; set; }

    public MyDto() { }
}

I can't tell from the example code, but it may be a missing empty class constructor.  Also I updated the XmlArrayItem thinking there might be a clash with calling it 'string'.
Give this Serializer a shot:
public static void Serialize<T>(T t, string filePath, bool overwrite = true)
{
    using (var fs = new FileStream(filePath, overwrite ? FileMode.Create : FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        var ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
        ns.Add("", ""); // Omits xmlns:xsi/xmlns:xsd

        try
        {
            serializer.Serialize(fs, t, ns);
        }
        catch (System.Exception)
        {
            if (File.Exists(filePath))
                File.Delete(filePath);

            throw;
        }
    }
}

A: Example:
XML:
<Names>
    <Names>John</Names>
    <Names>Doe</Names>
    <Names>Martin</Names>
    <Names>Looter</Names>
</Names>

C#:
public class Configuration
{
    [XmlArray("Names")]
    [XmlArrayItem("Names")]
    public List<string> Names { get; set; }

    public Load(Stream stream)
    {
        var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Configuration));
        var config = (Configuration)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(stream);
        return config;
    }

}

Justice delivered to two of humanity's monsters
Some events in world history make me question my opposition to capital punishment. Two individuals who took part in one of the 20th century's most grievous crimes against humanity provide the latest test to my commitment.
Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea — the last known survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime of Cambodia — have been given life sentences for their role in the genocide that killed roughly 2 million Cambodians in the 1970s under the despotic rule of the regime led by the late Pol Pot.
These individuals are old now. They likely will die soon in prison. When they do they should both rot in hell right along with Pol Pot and the other monsters who committed those atrocities against Cambodians.
Pol Pot was captured in the late 1990s and died in custody.
I have had the distinct honor of twice visiting the site of the Khmer Rouge's unspeakable brutality. The killing field at Choeung Ek and a prison camp at Tuol Sleng will last forever as the Khmer Rouge's legacy of murder, misery and mayhem. The monsters tortured and killed the intelligentsia of their country at Tuol Sleng — once the site of a school — and then buried their remains at places around the country such as Choeung Ek.
They sought to create a totally agrarian society. Learned professionals had no place in that society. Neither, shockingly, did their children.
In 1989 and again in 2004 I was privileged to see first-hand those sites. The sight of them and then hearing the testimony of those who survived that dark time filled me with immense grief, touched with a tinge of guilt. The Cambodians have built a memorial at the site and filled a "stupa" at Choeung Ek with skulls excavated from the mass graves that were discovered by Vietnamese troops during their years-long occupation of Cambodia, which ended in 1989, about a month before I arrived there with a group of journalists.
In 1989, after touring the killing field burial site, and after hearing from a woman who survived the mayhem that "If the Khmer Rouge return, we all will be soldiers" who will fight them to the death, I boarded a bus, waiting to depart.
I broke down and cried.
Justice has been delivered to two of the monsters who brought such heartache to a beautiful land. May they live the rest of their lives on Earth in abject misery.

Medical transcription is a term applied to the conversion of a doctor's notes to a written or electronic form. The notes typically are observations and instructions related to patients under the doctor's care. Transcription used to be done on manual typewriters from handwritten notes or from Dictaphone recordings. Modern transcription is done on computers from a doctor's recordings on a variety of devices.
Medical care nowadays is so organized that patient records should be available instantly on demand. There are several users of these records. The doctor and his staff need access to records for the care of the patient. For this, the records have to be up to date and thus the records have to be updated on a daily basis. The hospital will need access to the records for administrative purposes. Specialists to whom the patient is referred may need access to the records. Thus, the records need to be up to date and accurate. Medical transcription is an essential part of record keeping.
Having all patient records in a database and available on demand to a variety of users is a necessity in modern medical care. Having the records available in electronic format means that patient data can be pulled up as soon as a need arises. In life-threatening situations, immediate access to such data can be critical. Medical transcription fulfills this task of keeping the records current.
Medical transcription has progressed over the decades from manual typing from paper or recorded notes to transcribing from recordings on electronic devices to electronic documents on computers. Speech recognition software can do a first-pass conversion of speech to text which is checked for accuracy manually and then edited for correcting any errors. Transmission of such electronic files is instant, so timeliness is maintained.

Montel Vontavious Porter - a male celebrity - born on Sunday October 28th 1973, in Liberty City, Florida, United States.
Montel Vontavious Porter is practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. He is orderly, organized, systematic and controlled, and once committed - he employs decisive and methodical steps to problems solving, without giving up easily.
MVP seeks to establish a solid foundation, and would rather use hard work and long hours to build a business or career than search for "get rich quick" schemes. He has great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations he so often encounters. Courageous and a true survivor, he is a builder and the foundation of any enterprise, and his hard work and practical values pay off to provide Montel Vontavious Porter with the rewards he seeks and deserves.
Justice and honesty are sacred to Alvin Burke Jr., making him reliable and dependable, and quite often - a cornerstone in the community. Also, though not a typical idealist, Montel Vontavious Porter is willing to work for a better world in a realistic way.
Montel Vontavious Porter works well with others, but it is important that he would have his own responsibility and well-defined task, because he performs better when his responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others.
Due to the rare discipline and perseverance that Alvin Burke Jr. possesses, not everyone can keep up with him, and he has to be careful not to be bossy and rude. He can be also rigid in his ideas and get stuck in convention or too quick in judging his fellow man.
Montel Vontavious Porter is a person of thinking and planning.
It is natural for MVP to think before he acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
If MVP is over-organized, he should practice finding his way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray himself.
But if he ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view Alvin Burke Jr. as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate his great planning skills.
Montel Vontavious Porter is full of energy, always on the go, fidgety, and quite hyperactive. Life is in a constant motion for him and he devours it powerfully.
He has great ability to put thoughts into action, and there is no wait once he sets his mind on something. Where others tend to think or dream, MVP already takes action while radiating energy, enthusiasm, and livelihood around.
His physical stamina is strong, and he loves mental and physical exercise. Montel Vontavious Porter keep himself physically or mentally busy at all times, and he feels better spending time outdoors and eating natural foods.
Limited space is a major challenge for MVP, while exercise, proper diet, and rest are critical for his health. A good walk in the fresh air serves as an intellectual vehicle for him.
Tour MVP's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
For Montel Vontavious Porter, April 24th 2019 is a day best spent doing work around the house and investing time in family matters.
MVP is good at running serious conversations today, which may advance love and romance affairs at work.
Physically vulnerable, Alvin Burke Jr. should dress warm today, eat well, and absolutely avoid alcohol.

Enchanted Lake Residents Association, Board of Directors Zoom Meeting Minutes, Tuesday, July 13, 2021
Conducted via Zoom, Present: J. Bean, G. Colbert, G. Gustavson, S. Harding, L. Jenks, M. Novack, J. Fernie, D. Kroll, D. Medeiros, A. Richardson, C. Turner, and M. Spencer (Administrative Assistant)
Absent: D. Young, R. Castanha, M. Compton
The meeting was called to order by J. Bean, 1st Vice President, at 7:02 pm. A quorum was declared.
Minutes: Board-approved Minutes for the March, April, and May Meetings had been circulated earlier via email to enable a revision to them and a subsequent vote on the amended Minutes. The revision related to the deletion of a sentence in each of the Finance Reports. S. Harding moved and A. Richardson seconded the motion that the amended Minutes from March, April and May 2021 be approved. They were approved unanimously.
The draft Minutes for June 2021 had been circulated via email prior to the meeting. Following a brief discussion, G, Gustavson moved and S. Harding seconded the motion that the June 2021 Minutes be approved. They were approved unanimously.
Finance: G. Gustavson reported via email and restated for tonight's meeting that there have been no significant expenses in June 2021, and that ELRA had completed the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year very close to budget.
The total income projected by the budget was pretty close to actual for the FY. We budgeted for a Total Income of $47,306, including interest and investments. We received $49,794.
For expenses, the major difference between budget is in the area of lake maintenance. The Board budgeted $13,333 for operation of the Eco-Harvester and $1867 for a lake clean up contract. We expended $3382 for these expenses.
We did not expend any funds to Oceanit for dredging and engineering planning in June. When we receive an invoice from Oceanit, it will be paid from the QSF.
Assessment invoices for FY 2021-2022, as well as boat sticker forms, were printed and mailed. Received funds and forms are being processed.
Thanks to Alan Richardson and Adam Bookatz for their continued support of the ELRA finances, and to Melody for the annual assessment collation and mailing exercise.
G. Gustavson stated that as Treasurer, in the absence of President D. Young, he had completed the required documentation for renewal of the Board's D&O Liability Insurance. He has now authorized payment of the premium for the Policy, noting it is unchanged from last year. This is a budgeted item.
Gustavson also observed that the lengthy documentation phase linked to the Fisheries Grant is complete. He complimented D. Young for taking on much of the on-line forms process that is called US Gov't. Automated Applications for Payments (ASAP). The registration has cleared and the ELRA/Wetlands account is active.
A motion was made by M. Novack and seconded by J. Fernie that the June 2021 Finance Report be accepted. They were approved unanimously.
Administration: D. Young had shared his Communications Log prior to the Meeting.
Water Sampling Contract: J. Bean indicated that the contract had been fully executed and that D.Young had received word that sampling was completed on June 22, 2021. The data was not back from the lab yet to complete the report. Awaiting this first report.
Revised and Updated Lake Rules: J. Bean acknowledged that the New Lake Rules had been posted to the ELRA Website and announced on the ELRA Facebook site. The booklet version of the Lake Rules has been printed and is available. The Board discussed the best way or ways to distribute the booklet. It was agreed that the Annual Meeting could be a good way. Several members of the Board volunteered that they would distribute in their neighborhoods. Twenty copies will be provided to KCA for distribution. Bean emphasized that it was very important that each ELRA household get a copy and that therefore a careful record should be kept of the households that have received it.
As part of the Lake Rules discussion, Bean had previously emailed a draft of a possible Letter for Lake Rules Violations. She and M. Compton, Security, had toured the lakeshore by boat, noting possible conditions that were in violation of the new Rules. The majority seemed to be in the category of green waste and emergent mangroves. There were also a number of dilapidated barge/docks and a few unregistered boats. The intent of the draft letter was to provide a means of notifying owners of situations that needed to be resolved. It was agreed, but not voted on, that the President should sign the letter.
Report from the Kailua Neighborhood Board (KNB): J. Fernie attended the virtual meeting. July-1-2021-KNB-notes-Fernie
Fish Habitat Partnership Proposal: As noted in the Finance Report, the ELRA ASAP registration has cleared and the account is active. The Cooperative Agreement was submitted for sufficiency review in DC. Gordon Smith of Fisheries Partnership is very confident that the award will be fully executed in a few days with a start date of August 10th.
Annual Dinner & Elections: R. Castanha has reserved MidPac Country Club for the Annual Meeting on Friday, 22 Oct 2021. Yet to be done is selection of menu and determination of costs, to include what portion of the meal cost will be borne by ELRA.
As of this date, there will be five vacancies on the Board. It was agreed that the ELRA Community needs to be made aware of the dinner and elections, to include the invitation to nominate a potential Board Member.
C. Turner volunteered to create an e-newsletter. There followed a lengthy discussion about the use of email.
Committee Reports:
Dredging Committee: S. Harding stated that they are still waiting for the DOH attorneys to get back to him about permissions to use the land at the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility to deposit the dredged material. The Board agreed that steps needed to be taken to get an answer as quickly as possible. In the meantime, Harding stated that it is probably too late in the year for ELRA to begin dredging this year, as hoped.
Membership Committee: M. Compton was unavailable.
Operations Committee (Security): M. Compton was unavailable.
Environment Committee: D. Kroll provided a short report indicating his committee continued to take measurements for clarity, salinity, and others. He suggested that an additional collection point off Kukilakila would be very helpful.
New Business: G. Colbert, referring to the 11 May 2021 ELRA Board Meeting with Senator Chris Lee, stated he met with Lee on 1 Jul 2021 to continue the discussion summarized from Board Minutes below:
"ELRA Board Member C. Turner pointed out that there has been significant regrowth of Mangroves along the Hamakua Drive bridge over Hamakua Stream. C. Lee acknowledged this and stated his familiarity with the area because of proximity to the future dog park. Turner stated that she thought the contract was still in place from previous efforts, but needed to be reenergized. G. Colbert added that there was a major power line through this area and that Hawaiian Electric may be willing to eradicate the mangroves under the lines, if someone else would take care of the surrounding area. C. Lee indicated he would look to see what could be done."
Colbert has offered to continue discussions with Hawaiian Electric's (HECO) regarding possible willingness to eradicate said Mangroves. They might be willing, if all the work (that is, both under and outside of the High Power Lines) could be done either simultaneously or within just a few days so that reseeding would not take place. Hawaiian Electric would also need assurances that areas outside their vegetation management line would continue to be managed against re-seeding for some additional future period. Senator Lee will investigate potential mechanisms to provide for such future management and will re-connect with Colbert if those discussions prove fruitful. He may start by discussing with DLNR. There is no guarantee that there will be a follow-up eradication due to funding, but Senator Lee will examine State funding options through DLNR.
Next Meeting Date: The next Board meeting will take place by Zoom on Tuesday, Aug 10, 2021 at 7pm. The next KNB meeting will be August 5, 2021. M. Novack is scheduled to attend.
Adjournment: M. Novack moved adjournment, which was seconded by J. Bean. The affirmative vote was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.
