U.S. Forest Service offers Nestlé three-year water permit for the San Bernardino National Forest

Nestlé has 60 days to sign and accept a three-year permit to draw water from the San Bernardino National Forest for its lucrative bottled water business.
On Wednesday, June 27, less than a month after Nestlé's 30-year-old permit was terminated in a settlement between the company and three conservation groups, the U.S. Forest Service offered the bottled water giant a new permit for occupancy and use of the national forest land within the Strawberry Creek watershed.
According to a news release, the permit includes measures to improve the watershed's "impaired" health.
"Nestlé Waters North America appreciates the time and effort the U.S. Forest Service dedicated to this decision regarding the permit renewal process at Arrowhead Springs," Nestlé Waters spokeswoman Alix Dunn said in a statement. "We will carefully review the specifics of the decision, and will continue to comply with all permit requirements."
Three years ago, a trio of environmental groups sought to shut down Nestlé's water-bottling operations until their effect on the environment could be evaluated.
The Center for Biological Diversity, The Story of Stuff Project and The Courage Campaign claimed in a 2015 lawsuit that, for 28 years, Nestlé was maintaining pipelines, pumps and other structures in the San Bernardino National Forest under an expired permit.
Nestlé, whose operations in the area date back to 1929, disputed the allegations, and in 2016, a federal judge declared Nestlé's permit valid.
The environmental groups appealed the judge's decision.
In the interim, Nestlé conducted and provided the U.S. Forest Service with 70 separate environmental studies and reports, Dunn said in her statement.

Under its 1978 permit, for which it paid $524 a year to maintain, Nestlé reportedly drew up to 162 million gallons of water per year from Strawberry Creek, the Center for Biological Diversity contends. Nestlé reported drawing 36 million gallons in 2015, or 29 percent less than the annual average over the last 10 years.
While the State Water Resources Control Board evaluates Nestlé's water rights in the area, the environmental groups endeavor to protect Strawberry Creek, which has seen record low flow levels in recent years.
"We're disappointed, but not surprised, by the Forest Service's decision, particularly in light of the ongoing lack of clarity about the basis of right for Nestlé to remove water from public land," Michael O'Heaney, with The Story of Stuff Project, said by phone Wednesday. "The ongoing question of whether Nestlé has the right to the water under the national forest land remains unsolved with the state water board."
The proposed three-year permit allows Nestlé's current operations to continue and includes new mitigation measures to provide for national forest resources.
According to the news release, surface water diversions and groundwater extraction will be allowed when there is water available consistent with the forest's Land Management Plan.
Joe Rechsteiner, district ranger for the forest's Front Country Ranger District, said Tuesday's decision "ensures that the water withdrawal and conveyance infrastructure is under a current permit, and it provides for protection of forest resources, according to the Land Management Plan based upon the best available information at this time."
He added: "We are mandated by law to balance multiple uses of the land, however challenging that may be."
The new permit can be extended for two one-year periods and is not subject to administrative review or appeal.
The Forest Service's decision leaves any issue concerning the extent of Nestlé's water rights to the state water board, the release says.
"Californians are passionate about water and so are we," Dunn said. "We take our responsibility as a California water steward seriously and Arrowhead's successful operations for more than a century point to our commitment to long-term sustainability."

As I was sitting her working on two posts that I plan to post later this week I can hear Billy Ray going to the dryer with his support staff and the agitation because the clothes are not dry immediately.
It occurs to me that what we need in this world is immediate dryers. Parents have the same issues in some ways. Waiting to find out results from lab tests or to get the dreaded diagnosis is harder than bad news.
Last night my pastor, my husband and our friend, Dave were working on software which will enable us to share video of my presentations and basically talk to you from my website. Pastor did a sample file using video of the little girl who forgot the words from the National Anthem at the Portland Trailblazers game (you probably saw it all over the news a while ago). Here's the file so you can see how the little video boxes will eventually be on our parenting site http://users.gobigwest.com/prcco/richlite/UPLOAD3/player.html and share our excitement at learning all this technology. Let me know how it comes across for you (is it clear).
As we look at this technology and I listen to Billy Ray's difficulty with wait I am thinking. I wonder if we will have quick drying fabric and immediate dryers in my lifetime. Zap your clothes are dry.

An image of a small doorway on La Trobe Street to the former Magistrate's Court Building in Melbourne's CBD. The Former Magistrate's Court Building is a three-storey building of French Romanesque design. The doorway is in the neo-Romanesque, Romanesque Revival, or Norman Revival architecture style. It features a deep-set semi-circular arched door and doorway with stone decorated hood moulding. The door is flanked by two small columns with decorated capitals.
The Former Magistrate's Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It replaced a two-storey brick building on the site that previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrate's court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.

Jamie Jones, 28-Year-Old Rialto Resident, Killed by Freightliner on 210 Freeway
Simone Wilson April 27, 2011
A double accident on the 210 East in the wee hours this morning took the life of 28-year-old Jamie Angelina Jones, a Rialto resident who had been riding in the passenger seat of a 2008 Kia.
California Highway Patrol officers tell City News Service that, at about 2:35 a.m., the Kia crashed into a freeway guardrail just west of Irwindale Avenue. Right as Jones and the driver were climbing from the vehicle, which was jutting into both the No. 1 and No. 2 lanes, a giant semi plowed into the tail end of their car at 45 mph.
The unidentified Kia driver had been able to exit the vehicle quickly enough to escape, but Jones was still partly inside when the tractor-trailer made its fatal hit. She was thrown under the huge truck, and died soon after at the scene.
Jones' Facebook profile lists her hometown as Fontana and her high school as Fontana A. B. Miller High, named after the city's founder. She apparently graduated in 2001. Jones also reps the L.A. Dodgers and the Kings as her favorite sports teams.
The victim's sister, Jamisha, wrote "SHE WILL BE MISSED" on her own wall earlier today, and posted the above photo of Jamie.
Did you know Jamie, or witness the accident? Let us know.

I would like to welcome all of you to Washington, D.C. for the founding ceremony of the Youth Federation for World Peace. I know that many of you came from great distances to enrich today's event as a testimony of your love and commitment to world peace. I truly hope that through you unified efforts, we can inspire young people worldwide to take charge of their lives and apply energy and creativity for the purpose of creating a better world.
Throughout the ages, young people have often been called by God to provide leadership at crucial points in history. Thomas Jefferson, while in his twenties, drafted the Declaration of Independence and compelled his generation to strive for a just republic under God. Joan of Arc, a teenage in 15th century Europe, led her people into battle and won great victories for her country. Jesus Christ, at the age of thirty, began his ministry of love and forgiveness 2000 years ago. Today, his teachings continue to inspire and give new life to people all over the world. I myself have been deeply moved by the love of Jesus Christ. It was he who asked me to take up the task of creating a unified world of true love when I was only 16 years old. Since then, I have never wavered in my commitment to God and in my promise to Jesus on that Easter Sunday morning.
Washington, D.C. itself reverberates with the remembrance of thousands of young people who sacrificed themselves for a higher purpose. At the Arlington memorial Cemetery, we find the names of young men and women who gave up their lives defending freedom and peace. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial we recall Martin Luther King's stirring "I Have A Dream" Speech which captivated and inspired al of us to put an end to racial injustice and bigotry.
We have before us the responsibility of fulfilling that dream. Whether the coming future will bring war or peace depends largely upon our efforts today. We are facing the greatest spiritual and ideological void our world has ever known. Communism's attempt to implement its idealistic vision of the proletariat has resulted in failure and remains as a tragic page in human history. America, representing the democratic countries of the world, is facing an internal crisis. She is plagued by a collapse of moral and religious values, deepening racial divisions and ethnic conflicts, drug abuse, violence and sexual immorality. With such grave problems on our home front, how can America, or any other nation, provide a direction for the future?
We have to realize that the crisis of our global society stems from our neglect of God. Communism failed because it denied the existence of God. America, likewise, will suffer greatly if she does not reclaim her spiritual heritage. Even Christianity, when it loses sight of God, is powerless to stop the decline of our global community. Diverse fields such as philosophy, economics, politics, and the arts can only attains their true potential when they are applied in service to God. Thus, the key to solving today's problems is to find God. A keen awareness and a comprehensive understanding of God's Will provides the only real solutions to the crisis we are facing today.
Over the past two thousand years, human beings have been guided by three predominant worldviews or value perspectives. The first was a theocratic perspective, which emphasized unquestioning obedience to God. The second was the humanistic perspective which viewed man as the center of the universe. The third was the materialistic perspective, which placed materialism as the ultimate view of life. None of these perspectives, however, satisfied humanity's desire to experience true fulfillment and happiness, since there was no clear understanding of the relationship which was meant to exist between God and humankind.
My dear friends. The time is right for Godism. Since the ideological confrontation between the Left wing and the Right wing is now over, the future of humanity needs a new worldview centered on God. Godism, which is also called Headwing thought, seeks to substantiate the unity of God and humanity through the practice of unselfish living.
This is why my wife and I are founding a new organization based in a Godly perspective. Throughout the years, we have founded numerous organizations in an effort to realize world peace. The Federation for World Peace. The Women's Federation for World Peace. The Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles. The Inter- Religious Federation for World Peace. The Summit Council for World Peace. The International Conference on the Unity of Sciences. The Journalists Association for World Peace. And the Professors World Peace Academy. Today, we are founding the Youth Federation for World Peace so that the youth of the world can participate as the spearhead in the saving of humanity.
I will dedicate all my resources to educational programs designed to inspire young people to love God, to love their families and countries and to live by the highest moral standards. More specifically, I will create a high-tech, international educational superhighway by combining the academic resources of the Professors World Peace Academy with the most advanced telecommunications technology. This will provide the most advanced educational opportunities for the young people around the world. I urge the Youth Federation in each of the 164 member countries to accept the task of creating scholarship and educational programs designed to reverse the spiritual and moral decline of our youth.
On behalf of the Youth Federation for World Peace, let us all unite and direct our efforts in creating a world of love and peace. I am confident that with your support, we can welcome the third millennium as an era of God's eternal blessing on earth.
May God bless you and your families and the future of the Youth Federation for World Peace.


BODEGA FINCA EL CARPIO: By keeping the strength and long-lasting traditions of Castilla, Zumaya wine conveys the spirit of an old land packed with charm and wild beauty. This wine comes from carefully selected vines growing in the small plots situated on the slopes of the "Carpio" hill, which gives name to "Finca El Carpio" winery. This unique location at the Duero's riverbank reveals the rooted tradition of Ribera del Duero DO in winemaking and turns the wine into a vivid explosion of sensations.
Coming from the noble land of Castilla, Zumaya has named for centuries the Spanish bird bringing freedom to those who lived in the era of masters & servants. As 'Federico García Lorca' said in its popular poem 'Romance de la luna', seeing Zumaya crossing the sky is an invitation for day-dreaming.
Not only the environment but the spirit of the master cellars from Bodega Finca El Carpio, is present in every single drop of the wine. The small village of Fuentespina where it's located – near Aranda de Duero, can be proud of having one of the richest histories of the legendary province of Burgos. Being a great example of local cooperation, Fuentespina's settlers joined forces to raise the 'Hermita del Padre Eterno' in 1719. Far away from the expectations of those humble villagers, the hermitage is today a reference of the Spanish Baroque and meeting point for reconnecting with the nature essentials.
This magic 'wine' land means a complete experience worth to be lived, and for those with other destination on the map, Zumaya Tempranillo offers them the chance to get conveyed to the land where elegance is bottled.
DO RIBERA DEL DUERO: Spanish wines from the Ribera del Duero and Rioja regions, have become some of the most widely acclaimed and treasured wines in the world. The privileged weather conditions and contrasts of the region, boasting cold winters and very warm summers, plus the benefits of one of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, the Duero, helps the Tempranillo in the region to produce amazing wines, singular for their flavor and full body.
Vineyards: 81 ha (200 acres) of old Tempranillo vines growing in the small plots situated on the slopes of the "Carpio" hill – located at 800m (2624 feet) high.
Elaboration & style: Classic Ribera del Duero meets new market demands by getting smoother while keeping its distinctive oak character.

Police Squad: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
Review by Suzanne Lanoue 4/1/20
This is one of my all time favorite comedy shows, so I'm very glad to have it on Blu-Ray! I already have it on regular DVD. Sadly, there were only six episodes... but they were brilliant.
If you loved movies like "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun," then you will love this, too. The "Naked Gun" movies have the same characters, with just a few different actors. O.J. Simpson replaced Peter Lupus in the movies. Both actors were great in the roles (jail time not withstanding). Leslie Nielsen stars in both as Lt. Frank Drebbin.
The show is a great spoof of 60's and 70's cop shows. I don't know why it got such bad ratings. We loved it. It was long before "The Simpsons" and other spoofing shows. I read that it was just ahead of its time. That may be true, since the movies were very successful. Don't forget to check out our "Police Squad" page!
There are many wonderful features for any fan to enjoy. This would make a great gift to any comedy fan - especially one over 50.
Police Squad: The Complete Series
Street Date: April 14, 2020

Ioeltin (Russisch: Иультин; Tsjoektsjisch voor "lang stuk ijs") is een voormalige mijnwerkersplaats (nederzetting met stedelijk karakter) in het oosten van het district Ioeltinski in het noordoosten van de Russische autonome okroeg Tsjoekotka. De plaats telde 3.120 inwoners bij de volkstelling van 1989. In 1995 werd de plaats opgeheven.

Geografie
De plaats ligt in het Egvyvatapskigebergte, aan het gelijknamige riviertje Ioeltinka, die wat noordelijker uitstroomt in de Nelpynejvejem, die weer uitstroomt in de Kojvelvegyrgyn, een rivier die eindigt in de Tenkergykynmangkylagune (via de Straat Pilgyn verbonden met de Tsjoektsjenzee). Met droog weer konden er vaak 'stofstormen' ontstaan van kwartsresten die overbleven na ertsveredeling.

De plaats heeft een deels onverharde en deels winterwegverbinding met het honderden kilometers noordwestelijker gelegen Mys Sjmidta en een verharde wegverbinding (grotendeels in slechte staat) met het districtscentrum Egvekinot 207 kilometer zuidelijker aan de zuidkust van Tsjoekotka; deze Ioeltinskaja trassa is de langste verharde weg van Tsjoekotka. Ten zuiden van Ioeltin liggen aan de verharde weg naar Egvekinot achtereenvolgens de eveneens opgeheven kleinere nederzettingen Geologitsjeski en Tranzitny, het Tsjoektsjendorp Amgoeelma, de opgeheven plaats Dorozjny en de nederzetting Ozerny waar een elektriciteitscentrale staat. Op ongeveer 24 kilometer ten noordoosten van Ioeltin ligt de eveneens gesloten mijnbouwnederzetting Svetly.

Geschiedenis
De plaats ontstond in de tijd van de openstelling van de grondstoffen van Tsjoekotka. In 1937 werd een geologische expeditie uitgezonden onder leiding van J. L. Odinets die kristallijne cassiteriet aantrof in de bergen nabij het latere Ioeltin. In 1939 werden er delfstoffen (de ertslagen Nezametny en Nagorny) aangetroffen door een geologische expeditie onder leiding van B.N. Jerovejev in dit zeer afgelegen gebied in het binnenland van Tsjoekotka zonder enige infrastructuur. Daarop werd begonnen met de openstelling ervan. Daarop ontstond de plaats Smely bij de ertslagen (nu opgeheven). Voorraden werden in de begintijd aangeleverd per stoomschip op de landtong Dvoech Pilotov ("Twee Piloten" - twee eilanden die de afscheiding vormen van een deel van de Tenkergykynmangkylagune en de Amgoeëmalagune), vanwaar het verder het binnenland in werd vervoerd per slee of tractor. Ondertussen werd aan zuidzijde van Tsjoekotka Egvekinot gesticht en werden de ertslagen Solnetsjnoje, Torielskoje, Tsjaantalskoje, Kekoernoje en Dolinnoje (wolfraam en tin) blootgelegd, waarbij Ioeltin ontstond. In 1946 werd het bouwbedrijf Tsjoekotstroj opgericht, dat de opdracht kreeg om een mijnbouwbedrijf op te richten, een zeehaven aan te leggen en een machinedepot te bouwen bij Egvekinot, een mijnbouw- en ertsveredelingsbedrijf (GOK) te bouwen en een weg aan te leggen naar Ioeltin; een immense opdracht waarvoor hoofdzakelijk Goelagdwangarbeiders werden ingezet. Dit onderdeel van de Goelag werd onder het hervormingswerkkamp Tsjoekotstrojlag (ook Tsjoektsjen ITL genoemd) van de Sevvostlag (SVITL) geplaatst. In 1946 arriveerde het schip Sovjetskaja Latvia met de eerste 1500 wegenbouwers. Het ertsveredelingsbedrijf werd daarop in rap tempo gebouwd bij Ioeltin, dat in die tijd veelal werd bevoorraad met vrachtwagens die bij de wegenbouwersplaats Amgoeëma werden samengevoegd. In 1951 was de weg voltooid. In 1953 werd de plaats geopend, in hetzelfde jaar dat de Tsjoekotstrojlag werd opgeheven; tussen 1946 en 1957 hadden er ongeveer 40.000 gevangenen gewerkt. Vanaf 1955 werden de gevangenen langzamerhand vervangen door contractwerknemers (deels ex-gevangenen die nergens heen konden, deels nieuwe werkmigranten) en vanaf 1956 kwamen er ook vrijwilligers op de komsomolpas. De bouw van het mijnbouw- en ertsveredelingsbedrijf werd voltooid in 1959, toen de eerste ertsproductie werd geleverd door de mijn V.I. Lenin.

De plaats had een aantal basisvoorzieningen zoals een school en een huis van cultuur. Op 5 kilometer ten noordoosten van Ioeltin bevond zich de luchthaven Ioeltin.

Eind jaren 1980 waren de mijnen reeds grotendeels uitgeput en kampten met verliezen, maar door de toepassing van garantieprijzen kon de mijnbouw nog even voortduren. Met de val van de Sovjet-Unie, de perestrojka en de privatiseringen werd in 1993 besloten om de mijnbouw er op te geven. De plek lag simpelweg te afgelegen om rendabel te worden gemaakt. In 1994 stopte de plaatsvormende onderneming, het mijnbouw- en ertsveredelingsbedrijf, haar werkzaamheden en begon de bevolking de plaats en masse in chaos te verlaten. In 1995 werd de plaats opgeheven met een overheidsbesluit, maar pas in 2000 verliet de laatste inwoner de plaats.

This is the drawing that made us friends at the Frenchman Street bar Checkpoint Charlie's, in New Orleans. This skinny bearded singer was the first to take the stage. He kept beating his narrow little cowboy boots against the floor, and sang with an intense, Southern twang, but when I went to ask him to autograph my drawing, he was calm and demure. The bartender loved the little sketch, but added that he needed more hair. At one point she even wandered over with a bottle of White-Out, which she dabbed across the beard, insisting that I draw it darker and curlier. I did my best.

It is so easy to make homemade Garlic Butter! This recipe gives you the perfect balance of flavor and consistency.
Homemade garlic butter will quickly become a family favorite that you will want to put on everything! And it couldn't be easier to make.
We used salted butter in this recipe, but any spreadable butter or even margarine would work.
We kept our ingredients pretty simple, but the great thing about this recipe is that you can add just about any spices or flavors you'd like (like parmesan cheese).
Homemade Garlic Butter is a delicious topping to always keep on hand.
You will save money by not buying it at the store, and have peace of mind knowing exactly what is going into your butter.
We recently made used this garlic butter for our Roasted Garlic Butter Carrots and can't wait to try it on other vegetables.
It would be delicious with green beans, asparagus, or even on potatoes. My husband also loved it on his steak!
I think one thing we can agree on is that consistency makes or breaks a homemade butter.
Luckily this quick recipe doesn't actually require us to make the butter ourselves, but rather take our favorite ingredients and combine them together.
Using a spreadable butter in this recipe (such as Country Crock) allows you to keep that same consistency in your garlic butter.
We even used the same container to store our butter after it was made, keeping it fresh in the refrigerator.
Sticks of butter will also work for this recipe.
You will want to store your garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator and thaw to room temperature before use.
How Long will garlic butter keep?
This garlic butter can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 15 days, as long as it is kept in an airtight container.
If you are using hard butter that needs to be softened, we'd recommend only softening the amount you are planning to use, to avoid thawing and chilling your butter multiple times.
Hand Mixer: This will be a lot easier and faster if you don't have to mix it yourself. It also gives the butter a delicious whipped consistency when using a hand mixer.
Mixing Bowl: We love using glass mixing bowls, especially for recipes like this where you'll need to be scraping the sides.
Rubber Spatula: Speaking of scraping the sides, a rubber spatula will be your best friend when transferring your butter to the storage container. A regular mixing spoon will work fine, but a rubber spatula will help you get all of that butter out with ease.
Storage Container: If you don't eat all of your garlic butter in one day (which you just might!) you will want to store it in an airtight container. I love the containers like these with the twist on lids. Keeps it very fresh and they are so easy to open and close.
Please 6 pieces of french bread onto cookie sheet.
Spread garlic butter on each slice of bread.
Broil for 3 minutes, or until top of bread begins to be toasted.
A delicious way to make homemade garlic bread!
Using a hand mixer, combine garlic, parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil until finely chopped.
Add softened butter, salt and pepper continue mixing until combined.
Blend until mixed. You may need to scrap the sides and mix a little with a spoon.
Transfer butter from bowl to storage container.
Spread on your favorite bread or store in the fridge for up to 15 days.

An early issue of the Karaoke Club reviewed a set of games from the Belgian company, Flying Turtle, since bought up by the giant Ravensburger. About a year after that review, Flying Turtle released another game, Sindbad (by E. Duchatel, J.P. Postel, and J.H. Vanaise), which finally made its way to the States this year.
The game is set in the world of the seven voyages of Sindbad from A Thousand Nights and a Night (aka Tales of the Arabian Nights) and is very faithful to the original text. Each player plays one incarnation of Sindbad and must, through an amazing series of sea voyages, amass a fortune of one million miskhals by way of trade, treasure, and adventure and return safely to Basra. The sea voyages take you along one of three routes. The routes are of decreasing length, opportunity, and, in some cases, risk. The routes are made up of a series of Unknown Islands, stops in the Known Lands, and trade ports. Movement distance is determined by the roll of a die with the choice of the route going to each Sindbad.
Upon arriving on an Unknown Island a green card is drawn. All the cards in the game are wonderfully illustrated in full colour and the scenes are taken from the original voyages of Sindbad. The results of each draw are illustrated in a pictographic language invented for the game. Thus "move back to join the player just behind you" is illustrated by two feluccas (Sindbad's boat of choice) with an arrow circling back between them. The pictograms seem daunting at first but we've found it only takes about 10 minutes to explain them to new players. It also helps that each card is revealed as it is drawn so experienced players can help to interpret. Besides, its easier to learn than Flemish!
Green cards can present opportunities for wealth but at the risk of death! If a Sindbad is killed, all their accumulated wealth is lost and they have to begin again in Basra. This seems devastating but with careful play death only occurs in the early stages of the game and a second (or even third) generation Sindbad can go an to win the game. If Sindbad survives, the green card is retained and can be used later in place of certain dice rolls for movement, combat, or adventure.
A yellow card is drawn whenever your fellucah drops anchor in the Known Lands. Yellow cards are similar to green cards except the adventures tend to be of a more civilized, less dangerous sort and the cards are not retained in your band. No pain, no gain.
Finally, arriving in port allows Sindbad to stock up on trade goods. The prices in Basra are the highest in the world so anything acquired on voyage will net a nice profit back home. Sindbad can also acquire goods by telling the tale of wondrous adventures that have occurred during the voyages. This is accomplished by displaying appropriate green cards from your hand while docked at any of the ports in the Unknown Lands. Apparently, folks in the Known Lands are a bit jaded and don't believe a word of it when you tell them that your fellucah was carried off to the skull-shaped pirates' island by a giant, flying Roc.
Monsters and pirates can also be encountered. These can be overcome either by dice rolls or, if you have them and want to play them, melds of green cards. A dead pirate captain or the head of a terrible monster will fetch you 250,000 miskhals. But first you must get home with your cargo intact. The final twist to the game is that one Sindbad can turn pirate and raid another Sindbad's fellucah. A fellucah sailing by laden with pirate and monster trophies will bring out the worst in even the most honest and forthright sailor.
Whenever one Sindbad fellucah lands on the same Unknown Island or Known Land as another Sindbad (you're safe in port), they have the option of challenging them. Each Sindbad chooses one thing from the other's pot of treasures (all the diamonds, that pirate trophy, your miskhals, etc.) to serve as the prize and then they go at it. The challenger presents a meld of green cards (these are essentially poker hands using at most four cards) and the defender must present a better hand or lose. If a better hand is produced the challenger is now on the defensive and must present a still better hand or forfeit the chosen prize! This gets particularly cut throat near the end of the game when several players are sailing home with cargoes worth a half million miskhals or more. It also creates a tension about when to use your green cards. If they are used to defeat the pirates then how will you defend yourself from other Sindbads as you sail home?
The box, the map, and the cards are all top notch and beautifully illustrated. The fellucah playing pieces look nice but are a bit fragile. The bits for representing the various luxury items up for trade (diamonds, ivory, pearls, and amber) are a bit small and difficult to handle en masse. We've taken to providing each player with a small drink coaster in which to store their treasures. A virtual fellucah, if you will.
Sindbad has come under some criticism on the Internet for being too random and not worthy of any serious game player. I'd chalk that up to a dislike of chaos in games. At every stage of this game each Sindbad must play the odds and weigh in the balance risk vs. profit. In that sense the game is very much like a very colourful form of poker with all the same opportunities for bluff and luck. Sindbad is a wonderful game. So far we've tried it with ten different people, some gamers and some not, and they've all loved it and asked to come over and play again. Sindbad is from Flying Turtle but seems to be distributed by Mayfair Games in the U.S. for about $40.
On to the review of Around the World in Eighty Days or back to the review of Schatztaucher.


The high-end luxury market in Canada continues to defy the critics, according to new figures.
Despite expectations of a major slowdown in Canada's luxury-home market, sales in three key urban markets recorded double-digit gains last year.
Sales of homes worth $1 million or more were significantly higher in Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary in 2013 compared to the year before, according to the latest figures from Sotheby's International Realty Canada.
Vancouver's appeal to high-end investors shows no sign of abating with a 19 per cent increase in sales, albeit from a very sluggish 2012. The greatest gains were in the $4 million plus price segment, increasing by 48 per cent.
A total of 5,449 properties, including condominiums, attached and single family homes in the category sold in 2013.
Investors should calm down and carry on in 2014. That is the word from Scotiabank who are playing down the so-called risks that may affect market conditions next year.
The big risks – high household debt, affordability issues and muted wage growth – should not pose a serious threat to the Canadian housing market in 2014, despite what the naysayers say.
That is according to the new Global Real Estate Trends report by Scotiabank Economics. They say that improving global growth, attractive borrowing costs and population growth in key demographic segments should be enough to support housing demand next year.
Alberta, in particular, is tipped to outperform national housing markets.
Scotiabank is also expecting a moderately lower level of resale transactions next year with home prices also remaining relatively flat. "Downside price risk is greater in the more amply supplies high-rise segment than for single-family homes," the report says. Investor interest in renovation projects may also wane in 2014 as more people focus on their spending and general pricing environment.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on CTV's Question Period Sunday that he is monitoring the state of the housing market and is willing to intervene in the mortgage default insurance industry again if the need is felt.
However, in a bit of good news for brokers who fear the government setting up further roadblocks between their clients and potential mortgage approvals, the minister also intimated that he believes the past rule tampering has helped the market achieve a soft landing.
Concerning personal debt, Flaherty indicated a similarly improving outlook.
"When you look at the debt to net-worth: As long as the housing market remains relatively strong we don't really have a debt issue," the minister said. "I worried about it when it came to housing, certainly, because some of the house builders and condo builders were telling me about young people graduating and buying way more house than they needed and driving up in and Audi and all that general stuff … so that worried me but, as I say, that market is calming somewhat.
And homebuyers may continue to be driven to buy now rather than later, with Flaherty admitting there will be "pressure" for the central bank to raise interest rates.
(Surrey, BC) – Neither predictions of a huge crash or notable recovery came to pass in 2013 as Fraser Valley's real estate market stayed slow and steady, similar to 2012's market.
Fraser Valley's total sales volume last year was 13,663 a decrease of 1.5 per cent compared to 13,878 in 2012. Over the course of the year, Fraser Valley REALTORS® listed 29,338 properties on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), a 5.4 per cent decrease compared to 2012's 31,009 listings. The number of active listings at year's end finished at 7,541, 5 per cent higher compared to 7,187 active listings in December 2012.
Ron Todson, President of the Fraser Valley Board, says, "It wasn't the best of years, nor was it the worst. Generally speaking, 2013 overall was quiet. Earlier in the year, our market felt the impact of the tighter mortgage regulations, rebounded some in the summer and then flattened again come fall.
In December, the benchmark price of a detached home in the Fraser Valley was $549,500, an increase of 1.9 per cent compared to $539,000 in December 2012 and a decrease of -0.1 per cent compared to November.
For townhouses, the benchmark price in December was $293,300, a decrease of 1.0 per cent compared to the same month last year when it was $296,400 and up 0.3 per cent compared to November. The benchmark price of apartments in December was $192,600, a decrease of 3.7 per cent compared to December 2012 when it was $200,100 and a decrease of 1.8 per cent compared to November.
Annual average prices year over year show detached homes up 3 per cent – $615,852 in 2013 compared to $597,608 in 2012. Townhome average prices decreased by 0.7 per cent, going from $340,253 in 2012 to $337,811 in 2013 and the average price of apartments decreased by 0.4 per cent going from $220,033 in 2012 to $219,196 in 2013.
For the month of December, property sales were down compared to November, as is the seasonal norm – 890 compared to 986; however, they were a 34 per cent improvement over the 664 sales in December 2012.
The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is an association of 2,769 real estate professionals who live and work in the BC communities of North Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission. The FVREB marked its 90-year anniversary in 2011.


Walter Carr was all set to begin a new job with a moving company when his car broke down the night before.
But rather than call off, Carr began walking 20 miles, in the middle of the night, to get to work on time. He ended up being the first to arrive.
After Walter's story began making the rounds on Facebook, the CEO of the company traveled to Alabama and handed Carr the keys to a 2014 Ford Escape, which was the CEO's personal car.
Carr, a college student who moved to Alabama after losing his home in Hurricane Katrina, says he hopes his story inspires others.
He also admitted that "my shoes was really killing me that day."

Rear leg room 36.4 "
Fuel tank capacity 22.0 Gal.
Maximum towing capacity 3,800 Lbs.
The all-new 2005 Dodge Dakota represents yet another bold move into the truck market for Dodge. With sales of basic small trucks in steady decline, Dodge has redesigned the Dakota as a much larger, much edgier and more macho midsize pickup. The Dakota is now the largest and by far the most powerful pickup in the segment.
Dakota competes against Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, and Nissan Frontier. As with full-size pickups, competition for compact or mid-size trucks is hot. Though the Ranger is dated, Canyon, Colorado, Tacoma, and Frontier are totally new pickups for either 2004 or 2005. Dakota's biggest advantage, other than its larger size, is the availability V8 engines, not one, but two of them. Its towing capacity has been expanded to 7,150 pounds, by far the most in the class.
Built on a new frame, the new Dakota is substantially longer than the previous model with styling that complements the recently redesigned Durango SUV and Ram pickup. Getting in is easy and the redesigned interior is comfortable and convenient with controls that are easy to reach and operate.
Underway, the Dakota is smooth and quiet. The optional 4.7-liter V8 burbles subtly in the background when cruising, but really scoots when the throttle is mashed. Yet its fuel economy is rated within 1 mpg of the standard V6's. The steering is light for easy maneuverability in crowded parking lots. The Dakota responds quickly on mountain roads and tracks extremely well on the highway.
All Dakotas are Club Cab extended-cab versions or Quad Cab four-door crew cab models and are set up for five- or six-passenger seating. Standard-cab pickups have faded in popularity as families are increasingly using pickups for recreation and as a transportation alternative to a car. So Dodge doesn't even offer a regular cab Dakota.
Either body style and all three trim levels come standard with a 3.7-liter V6. A 4.7-liter Magnum V8 engine ($785) is available on all models. A high-output version of the 4.7-liter V8 is available for the SLT and Laramie trim levels. Each engine comes standard with a six-speed manual.
A four-speed automatic is optional with the V6 engine; a five-speed automatic is optional with either of the two V8 engines. Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available: A traditional part-time four-wheel drive system is standard on 4X4 models. Full-time four-wheel drive with part-time differential locking is optional.
With the Club Cab, you get a 6 1/2-foot bed length; with the Quad Cab you get a 5-foot 4-inch bed. Both bodies are built on the same wheelbase. Club Cabs now feature small doors to access the rear compartment, which the old model did not have.
Club Cab and Quad Cab are available in ST, SLT, or Lariat trim levels. The ST trim level comes standard with 16-inch wheels. SLT adds 16-inch aluminum wheels, fog lamps, tilt steering, dual rear seats, and power windows, locks and mirrors. Laramie comes loaded with leather seats, six way leather power driver's seat, an Infinity six-speaker 288-watt premium sound system with six-disc changer, cruise control, fog lamps, overhead console, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with remote audio controls.
Options include the premium audio system ($530), Sirius satellite radio ($195), four-wheel ABS ($495), front-seat side-curtain air bags ($495), towing packages ($455-$525), and 17-inch chrome wheels ($820). In addition, the MoPar aftermarket parts side of Chrysler will have dozens of appearance, performance and entertainment options that can be installed at the dealership before or after delivery. Among them: a chrome air deflector for the top of the grille, chrome accents, light bars, and roo bars.
Starting out with a truck that's almost four inches longer than the previous Dakota, with almost all the extra length devoted to front crush space and deeper bumpers to meet future crash standards, the new Dakota boats almost 56 cubic feet of interior space.
The new size goes hand in hand with an all-new look, with much sharper edges on the laid-back grille, roof, fenders, doors and bed, and fender lines deliberately extended halfway along the length of the door. The Dakota retains the look of the Dodge Ram and Durango, though it looks crisper and the grille is laid back, not vertical. The intersection of the front fender, multi-element, twin-lens headlamp and grille makes the whole design work beautifully.
Underneath, there is a completely new frame shared in part with the Durango SUV, a frame that is eight times as strong in twist resistance and twice as strong in bending resistance as the old frame, introduced in 1997. A new coil-over-shock independent front suspension is used on both two- and four-wheel-drive models, with conventional leaf springs at the rear. All models come with front and rear tow hooks and tie-downs in the bed.
New to the Dakota is an Enhanced Accident Response System or EARS, which automatically turns on interior lights and unlocks doors in the event of an air bag deployment, so that medical or response personnel can help faster and easier.
Just about everything on the inside of the Dakota is new. There are new black-on-white gauges with chrome rings, with the central speedometer about twice as large as the other two gauges. The angular center stack houses the sound system, climate controls and vents. The thick four-spoke steering wheel features audio and cruise controls.
The designers have added in more brushed sheetmetal accents around the cockpit, and the whole design works very well in terms of usability, convenience, and reach. The plastic materials looked good, but not great, and interior fits and finishes were good.
This truck has four huge doors that open out to nearly 90 degrees, so ingress and egress were very good, indeed. The rear seats are deliberately stepped up on their bases so that rear-seat occupants can see out more easily, and they are split into 40/20/40 folding sections with two rear cupholders.
The driver's seat, the only one we occupied for any length of time, looked good and felt good with its upper and lower support wings and good padding where it counts. Interior room, even for a tall, gangly driver like me, was excellent. It's the best in the class with this new cab size. The rear seat room in our Quad Cab test truck was more than generous for family-style use, with 33 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seat. A center console and lots of cubbyholes provide space to stash stuff.
New interior features for the 2005 Dakota include standard head restraints and shoulder belts for all seat positions, taller head restraints, optional Sirius Satellite Radio, and an optional hands-free communications system that uses Bluetooth technology to make a compatible cellphone work as part of the truck.
The test truck, which was configured for five with front bucket seats, was surprisingly quiet, smooth and civil in its behavior, more like a car than a truck inside. The glass is 20 percent thicker, mufflers are larger, and there's more sound insulation throughout the body and firewall than before. It drives bigger than it looks, with a hefty, Ram-like way about it, a nicely muscular street swagger.
The 4.7-liter Magnum V8 engine costs a little extra, but for us it was worth every penny, because fuel mileage barely takes a hit (EPA-estimated City/Highway 15/19 for the V6, 14/19 for the V8). The 3.7-liter Magnum V6 is rated 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter V8 generates 230 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter High Output V8 wasn't available at press time, but is expected to put out more than 250 horsepower and more than 300 pound-feet of torque.
Our Quad Cab with the standard 4.7-liter accelerated with uncommon vigor and a wonderful exhaust note. At highway speeds it settled down into a nice background burble in overdrive fifth gear. Its strong torque means plenty of low-down grunt for pulling payloads of up to 1,800 pounds or towing up to 7,150 pounds.
The transmission has perfectly spaced ratios for trucking, and worked without complaint, roughness or harshness, even in high-rpm full-throttle upshifts. With only two occupants and no load, it really scoots from the stoplight despite the nearly 4800 pound weight of the Quad Cab 4X4. For towing, there's a Tow/Haul setting that alters the shift pattern of the automatic transmission.
The new rack-and-pinion power steering is a bit over-assisted for our tastes but will probably be okay for most customers. The chunky steering wheel feels great in the hands. The truck tracks extremely well, responds quickly to inputs, and stays hunkered down during mountain road playtime. Its 265/70R16 BFGoodrich Wrangler tires were both grippy in corners and very quiet at highway speeds, adding a measure of plushness to the ride quality that we really appreciated. We'd rate the ride and handling very high, though like all pickup trucks, it can get a bit choppy over small, high-intensity bumps and ruts.
The Dakota offers only rear-wheel anti-lock brakes as standard safety equipment, but four-wheel ABS disc/drum brakes are optional. We deliberately tried the rear ABS on a straight, flat, dry road for several maximum-g stops with no load and no passengers, and it worked very well, keeping the unladen, light-in-the-rear pickup straight and coming to crisp stops four times in a row without locking the rear wheels.
Anyone in the market for a medium-sized truck that goes around acting like a full-size truck, but for a lot less money, should have a look at the new Dodge Dakota.
The Dakota is unique in the class, with its brawny style, generous size, powerful V8 engines for towing, and plenty of room for a typical family. And the Dakota starts below $20,000.

Observing World AIDS Day | Medicinezine.com - Reviews and articles in Wellness & Lifestyle, Child & Teen Health, Women's Health, Men's Health, Mental Health, Natural Medicine, Drugs and Medication, Sexual Health.
Today, December 1, we commemorate World AIDS Day. This has been a year of reflection as we marked the 30th anniversary of the first reported cases of AIDS on June 5, 1981. AIDS is still here, and it affects all of us in the U.S. and around the world. AIDS has been, and continues to be, an important issue for the disability community, which has worked diligently to end stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS and ensure that they have access to job skills training, employment services, housing and other supportive services.
This year has also been a year of hope; the result of key scientific and policy advances that now make it possible for us to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Now, it is time to look to the future.
In her November 8th speech, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued an historic call for U.S. government leadership of worldwide efforts to achieve an "AIDS-free generation" by building on successful investments in HIV prevention, care, treatment and research.
One of those key "investments" has been the development of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy(NHAS). It has been more than a year since the release of the Strategy, which sets ambitiousgoals for addressing HIV/AIDS in this country. Since then, there have been community implementation dialogues across the nation and federal agencies have prepared and are now implementing operational plans that detail how they are pursuing the NHAS goals. We encourage you to review those plans, especially those of the Department of Labor and the Social Security Administration.
For the first time in more than 20 years, the International AIDS Conference returns to the U.S. in July 2012. More than 25,000 people will come to Washington, D.C. from all over the world to share the latest HIV research and engage in dialogue about ending the epidemic. This is an opportunity for the disability community to share lessons learned about the HIV/AIDS epidemic with colleagues from around the world. This week, the U.S. government launched a dedicated webpage for information about the conference.
1. Participate in Facing AIDS. For the fourth year in a row, people all over the United States are sharing their messages to end the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. You can download a sign and write a message about why you are "facing AIDS," take a picture of yourself holding the sign and upload it to the Facing AIDS gallery.
2. Encourage someone to get an HIV test – and get one yourself. Testing is one of the primary ways to end the spread of HIV, because people who know their HIV status can take measures to protect themselves and their partners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that about 240,000 people in the U.S. who are living with HIV don't know they are infected. Use the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Service Provider Locator to find an HIV testing location near you.
3. Use new media. Follow our AIDS.gov blog – featuring posts from the CDC, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal partners – and tweets from AIDS.gov. Join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #WAD11 when sharing your thoughts about World AIDS Day on Twitter or Facebook.
We encourage you take time to reflect and take action on World AIDS Day.
As President Obama observed, realizing the vision of the NHAS "will require the commitment of governments at all levels, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV and others." This includes, of course, the disability community, which has been a solid ally in the response to HIV/AIDS for decades.
Miguel Gomez is the director of AIDS.gov , which directs visitors to federal domestic HIV/AIDS information and provides practical guidance on how HIV/AIDS programs can use new media tools. Miguel introduced podcasting as a regular feature on AIDS.gov and also hosts a blog that showcases the use of new media for HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. He has been working on HIV/AIDS issues since 1984 as an advocate at the Gay Rights National Lobby (GRNL), which provided services and support to some of the first AIDS service organizations in the nation. Miguel has since held positions with the National Council of LaRaza, national AIDS organizations and the federal government.
On the occasion of World AIDS Day. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser.

SD International Film Festival ends with a tribute to veterans
By Pauline H. Shaughnessy Last updated Oct 24, 2021
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – The San Diego International Film Festival wrapped up this weekend, but not before presenting a film that's different from the rest.
On board the USS Midway, attendees can not only see one of the many films this festival has to offer, but also help a charity that seeks to make a difference in the lives of Veterans.
"It's hard to express," Joshua Lee said.
Lee is the co-founder of RTAG, a nonprofit organization that strives to provide employment opportunities for veterans.
"To really bridge the gap between the military and the civilians and really work together to see what they can do in the community," Lee's message behind the organization explained. "It's really exciting."
The goal of Saturday night's event was to raise funds for RTAG, as well as the film festival. Dozens of people boarded the USS Midway to see the 2014 movie "The Hornet's Nest".
"You literally see two war journalists who fit into a troop and you see what they go through and you see what happens," said Tonya Mantooth, CEO and artistic director of the San Diego Film Festival.
The co-director and producer of "The Hornet's Nest" said the USS Midway was the perfect place to present his film.
"Especially in the last eighteen months where we haven't been able to be in theaters and as a group, it's really significant," said David Salzberg.
"It's really very valuable for the experience you have emotionally in an audience," Salzberg said.
The night paid tribute to the men and women who served in our armed forces.
"We really need to honor the men and women in uniform and the value they bring to the workforce," Mantooth said. "And we have to remember to hire them."
Salzberg said that on October 25, there will be a live cast for military veterans and VA nurses for a chance to feature in a future film set to air in 2022.
If you would like to participate in the casting, send an email to CEO@nurseheroes.org.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Reaffirming the Unbreakable U.S.-Japan Alliance
Reaffirming the Unbreakable U.S.-Japan Alliance
America's alliances are our greatest asset, and leading with diplomacy means standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies and key partners once again.
President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.February 4, 2021
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III will travel to Tokyo, Japan, March 15-17 to reaffirm the United States' commitment to strengthening our alliance and to highlight cooperation that promotes peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and around the world.
Secretary Blinken and Secretary of Defense Austin will attend the U.S.-Japan Security Consultative Committee ("2+2") meeting hosted by Japan's Minister for Foreign Affairs Toshimitsu Motegi and Minister of Defense Nobuo Kishi. Secretary Blinken will meet separately with Minister Motegi and other senior officials to discuss a range of bilateral and global issues.
Secretary Blinken will meet virtually with business leaders to highlight the importance of U.S.-Japan economic ties and shared priorities, such as addressing climate change, securing supply chains, promoting and protecting emerging technologies, fostering digital trade, and recovering from COVID-19. He will have a virtual discussion with women entrepreneurs on the challenges that women face in building successful businesses. Secretary Blinken will also host a virtual roundtable with emerging Japanese journalists to discuss the future of the U.S.-Japan Alliance, the role of a free press in promoting good governance, supporting human rights, and defending democracy, and the widespread benefits of advancing gender equity and opportunities for women worldwide.
A Strong Alliance Based on Shared Values
The U.S.-Japan Alliance has served as the cornerstone of peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and across the world for over six decades.
We are committed to working together on our shared challenges, including curbing the global COVID-19 pandemic, combatting climate change, strengthening democracy and human rights, promoting free and fair trade, and countering malign influences and PRC provocations in Asia and around the world.
The American and Japanese people share deeply rooted values of defending freedom, championing economic and social opportunity and inclusion, upholding human rights, respecting the rule of law, and treating every person with dignity.
The peoples of Japan and the United States support each other in times of need. Japan was one of the first countries to offer assistance following the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, and Americans are proud to have supported Japan in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, ten years ago this month, through Operation Tomodachi.
The Steadfast Friendship of the American and Japanese People
The strength of the U.S.-Japan relationship is due in part to the substantial reservoir of goodwill created by the close ties between the American and Japanese people at the grassroots level, often supported by the U.S. and Japanese governments.
There are more than 30,000 American alumni of the Japanese government-sponsored Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program, including nearly 200 JET program alumni working at the Department of State.
The Fulbright program has sent nearly 7,500 young Japanese on Fulbright scholarships to the United States since 1952. More than 3,800 Japanese are alumni of the International Visitor Leadership Program, the State Department's premier professional exchange initiative for emerging leaders. Japanese students comprise the 8th largest group of international students studying in the United States. There are 37 U.S.-based Japan-America Society chapters, and the United States and Japan also share more sister city relationships than any other two countries.
Many other non-governmental organizations, such as the U.S.-Japan Council, Mansfield Foundation, and Sasakawa Peace Foundation, utilize public-private partnerships and U.S. government grants to support people-to-people exchanges.
Economic Ties that Benefit the American and Japanese People
With over $300 billion worth of goods and services exchanged each year, the United States and Japan are top trading partners, and the U.S.-Japan bilateral economic relationship is one of strongest in the world.
Japan-affiliated firms employ or support more than 948,100 jobs in the United States.
The United States is Japan's top source of direct investment, and Japan is the top investor in the United States, with $644.7 billion invested in 2019 across all 50 states. Both countries acknowledge the important role of women as drivers of economic progress in all sectors.
The United States and Japan are working closely via whole-of-government initiatives, bilateral partnerships, cooperation with like-minded countries, and enhanced private-sector engagement to assist countries in the Indo-Pacific and across the globe to catalyze investment in infrastructure, energy, and the digital economy to promote connectivity and economic growth.
The United States and Japan are supporting open and competitive energy markets. We are strengthening energy security in the Indo-Pacific region through the Japan-United States Strategic Energy Partnership (JUSEP) and will continue to identify additional joint commercial engagements in the Indo-Pacific region.
Our economic cooperation has also led to close collaboration in science and technology and promoted shared values in research, including on COVID-19 response, the digital economy, national security-focused investment screening, quantum sciences, artificial intelligence, space exploration, biosciences, and a wide range of emerging technologies.
The United States and Japan have committed to building secure 5G networks using only trusted vendors. Innovative U.S. and Japanese businesses are at the forefront of open, interoperable approaches like Open RAN (radio access network) technologies that promise to increase vendor diversity and market competition, and have the potential to reduce costs and improve security
Strengthening U.S.-Japan-Republic of Korea Cooperation
The Biden-Harris Administration is working to strengthen America's relationships with our allies, and the relationships between those allies. No relationship is more important than that between Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK). The United States continues to promote expanded U.S.-Japan-ROK cooperation to tackle COVID-19 and combat climate change, as well as reinvigorate trilateral cooperation on a broad range of global issues, including the denuclearization of North Korea.
A robust and effective trilateral relationship between and among the United States, the ROK, and Japan is critical for our joint security and interests in defending freedom and democracy, upholding human rights, championing women's empowerment, combating climate change, promoting regional and global peace, security, and the rule of law in the Indo-Pacific and across the globe.
Security Cooperation that Promotes Peace and Stability
The United States' commitment to the defense of Japan is absolute. The United States affirms the Senkaku Islands fall within the scope of Article V of the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, and we remain opposed to any unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the East China Sea or undermine Japan's administration of these islands.
The United States invests significant military resources and capabilities to meet the Alliance's current and future security challenges. Through the U.S.-Japan Host Nation Support framework, the Government of Japan shares the costs of stationing U.S. forces in Japan. On February 24, the Governments of the United States and Japan signed an amendment to the current Special Measures Agreement, a key component of Japan's Host Nation Support framework, extending it through March 31, 2022. Negotiations for a new and expanded multi-year agreement are ongoing.
Japan hosts approximately 55,000 U.S. service members – the largest contingent of U.S. forces outside the United States – along with the thousands of Department of Defense civilians and family members who live and work alongside them.
Many of the United States' most capable and advanced military assets are hosted in Japan, including the USS Ronald Reagan and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. This demonstrates the importance of the U.S.-Japan Alliance and the goal of maintaining peace and security in the Indo-Pacific through effective deterrence and work with regional partners.

I was talking with a friend last weekend and he was a bit surprised to hear that we start the school year off at Camp. He jokingly asked, "Didn't they just get back from camp?" After admitting that students did just return from summer break, I had the opportunity to talk about the value experiential learning has in education.
During Upper School Camp "Embrace the Discomfort" was a running theme. At the beginning of Camp we discussed that every student and adult were going to be exposed to something that was not in their natural comfort zone and that created an opportunity to have a new experience. The discomfort may have included things such as overcoming a fear of heights on a Zipline, sleeping in a shared bunk, eating a meal with people you do not know well, or leading an activity for the entire school. The camp experience serves as a way for students to develop resiliency and to take risks by embracing the discomfort.
Collaboration. Communication. Critical Thinking. Empathy. Problem Solving. These skills were an essential part of the activities students participated in throughout the week. Whether it was finding a creative solution to the ropes course, working as a team during evening activities, or helping classmates overcome a fear, students were immersed in real opportunities to further develop the skills that will help them be successful in their academic classes this year.
Camp served as a living laboratory for Brimmer's Core Values, Guiding Principles, and leadership development. This was evident during our grade level meetings where students shared their experiences at Brimmer, goals for the year, and ways to strengthen our community. During these discussions it was clear that our students are living the values of Kindness, Responsibility, Respect, and Honesty. It was inspiring to hear our students talk so passionately about Brimmer and how they were going to explore new ideas, lead the school with compassion, and set new learning goals for themselves.
