Though born and raised in Hamilton, ON, Justin has always been drawn to the sea. This led him to complete a Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a Concentration in Marine Biology at the University of Victoria. Inspired by Marine Biologist Ed Ricketts, Justin's goal is to follow in his footsteps and head into the unknown with eyes wide open, an endless supply of curiosity and a passion for sharing knowledge.
Currently, Justin is fascinated by the abundant, but often overlooked, group of small, benthic, invertebrate animals classified as meiofauna. He aims to examine the relationship between the biodiversity of these ubiquitous animals and the health of an ecosystem as a whole. Such relationships will hopefully lead to improved ocean health monitoring techniques, as well as serving as baselines for current meiobenthic diversity. Everything in nature is connected, inspiring Justin to search for answers in the most unexpected of places.
Justin graduated from Mount Allison University in 2018, with an honours degree in Biology. His research focused on the behaviour and physiology of fish for his honours thesis, when he discovered his passion for aquatic life. Being given the opportunity to develop skills including quantitative data analysis and research communication through the scientific perspective, he needed to fulfil an entrepreneurial fascination. He became the first CEO of Enviroot Inc. during his undergraduate degree. Through this endeavor, he applied the skills that he was already developing to an enterprise. The company works to repurpose food waste into viable products, and incorporates a wide range of perspectives. Because of the diverse experiences that he is bringing to Dalhousie, he looks forward to the interdisciplinary nature of Marine Management. By participating in this program, he is able to merge his experiences into a career that protects marine life.
Sara graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours Bachelor of Science, majoring in Marine and Freshwater Biology and minoring in International Development. During her degree, Sara was awarded the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award, where she worked as a research assistant, and later undertook an Undergraduate Research Project, studying reproductive fitness in zebrafish. Additionally, Sara participated in a Marine Biology and Oceanography field course in Saint Andrews, NB, where she examined a nutrient-induced gradient along a wastewater discharge pipe and its effects on the local snail population.
Sara's research experience combined with her interest in development studies helped her realize the overarching connections between her fields of study and ignited her passion in interdisciplinary approaches to marine conservation. In the MMM program, Sara hopes to integrate development studies into marine conservation by studying the socioeconomic causes and effects of resource exploitation and develop tools to mitigate these threats using a community based co-management approach.
Emily VanIderstine grew up in PEI where she developed a passion for the environment through years of sailing and time outdoors. This led her to the University of Prince Edward Island where she graduated with a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and a specialization in Innovation and Change Management. After an internship with Prince Edward Island National Park's Outreach Education Program Emily gained employment in the Resource Conservation Field Unit. In this unit she worked on various conservation efforts such as the endangered piping plover monitoring program, forest restoration projects, and freshwater pond community surveys. Working for the National Park has given Emily a great opportunity to not only learn about the environmental issues her community faces but to also help communicate those issues to the public and raise awareness.
In the MMM program Emily hopes to gain an interdisciplinary perspective on integrating coastal zone management and conservation of marine wetlands and the development of Marine Protected Areas.
Priyanka graduated from Dalhousie University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Marine Biology. Being an ocean and animal lover, Marine Biology was her obvious field of choice. During her time as a student, she had the opportunity to spend two weeks working with the DFO and their Grey Seal program on Sable Island which was the highlight of her undergraduate experience. Her Honours thesis was on the Movement Patterns of Atlantic Cod.
Since then she has been working at Dalhousie in different advisory roles but is now ready to dive back into the marine world. She is keen to combine her life sciences knowledge with the management skills she hopes to develop through the MMM program. Priyanka looks forward to learning how to mitigate different marine related issues and is most interested in ocean conservation and marine protected areas.
Cassidy recently graduated from University of Waterloo, where she completed her Bachelor's of Environmental Studies in Environment, Resources, and Sustainability and a Diploma in Environmental Assessment. Cassidy's passion for marine conservation and scuba diving has attracted her to the ocean and the MMM program. Through field courses in Waterloo and Huntsville, Ontario, Cassidy became very interested in aquatic species and their uses as ecosystem indicators, particularly benthic invertebrates. Growing up in Ontario, Cassidy has always been drawn to the coast and is excited to continue her education at Dalhousie.
Cassidy spent much of her undergraduate degree researching the ecological importance of sharks and the consequences of climate change and human impacts on global shark populations. Cassidy is very interested in the management and conservation of sharks and other migratory species and is hoping to study these topics further during her MMM.
Magena grew up on Vancouver Island where she developed a passion for the marine environment. After travelling around Australia and visiting the Great Barrier Reef she began to have a further interest in marine protected area networks. This interest led to the University of British Columbia where she obtained a BSc in Global Resource Systems with a focus in environmental management. While there she completed directed studies assessing the efficacy of butterfly, parrot and rabbit fish as potential bio-indicators for Nosy Be, Madagascar. Following graduation she continued to be engaged in marine conservation initiatives through public outreach, oceanography cruises and working with the Noise Exposure to the Marine Environment from Ships (NEMES) at UVIC to increase her knowledge within marine conservation.
Magena is interested in the process of marine protected area development particularly, in the biological and social aspects of, the decision-making process regarding selection and design of MPAs and the monitoring approaches needed to support effective and adaptive management plans. She hopes to focus on Marine Protected Area establishment and effectiveness in Canada during her time at Dalhousie.

Q: Why are there cows on my spaceship? When returning to my reliable Unreliable, I went to go tinker on some weaponry and was greeted with this sight:

This is actually the second time this has happened and I went in and out of my ship at least a dozen times over the next 6 hours, but never saw these Wooly Cows again, nor could I find any trace of them anywhere on my ship. I'm incredibly baffled and have no idea where these are coming from nor why this is happening... what is going on?

A: This is an easter egg referencing the sci-fi show Firefly. This area can randomly show crew interacting with each other and one of these random scenes is the cows that reference Firefly.
As you play through The Outer Worlds you will be running into more Firefly references, it's likely that the show served as inspiration to the creators in the game.
Screenshot from the Firefly TV show featuring the cow scene:

And here's the clip from the show:

Justin Timberlake Reacts To Being Called Out During Kanye West's VMA Video Vanguard Speech
by Bradley Stern August 31, 2015 11:43 AM | PopCrush
Over the course of his 13-minute Video Vanguard acceptance speech last night, along with casually putting his name in the running early for the presidential election in 2020, Kanye West revealed that Justin Timberlake was in tears on the night of the Grammy Awards in 2007.
It happened while Yeezy was making a point about the idea of pitting talented artists against each other at award shows, and how arbitrary it is to determine that one person's art is 'better' than another. And in doing so, he specifically called out the FutureSex/LoveSounds singer as an example.
"I just…I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley [St. Elsewhere] and the FutureSex album…Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was thinking like, he deserves to win album of the year," he passionately explained to the crowd. (The Dixie Chicks ultimately won that year.)
Justin would later respond to being called out on Twitter — and at first, it seemed as though he might have taken offense, calling Kanye "real cute, y'all." But a few hours later, he returned to react after having watched the entire speech. "Btw… I JUST watched my man 'Ye's FULL speech… He always has a point. And I support it. #truth," he wrote. Evidently, JT didn't mind being called out in order to make a point about competition among pop stars.
While the media has made the most of his presidential run announcement in the last few seconds of the speech, there were plenty of points worthy of discussion. Do you think award shows still have value — especially the MTV Video Music Awards — in 2015? What do you think of Kanye's point about pitting artists against each other? Let's discuss.

War and Peace in the Space Age
Book Review: By Lieutenant General James M. Gavin: You were born to be free. You were also born with a responsibility to contribute to our common defense. For as long as a trace of avarice exists in the hearts of men, there will be a need for the defense of men and their established institutions. . . James M. Gavin[1]
The quote above showcases General Gavin's understanding of human nature: He from the perspective of war; Madison from the view of political theory. Though 170 years separates their writings, the concurrence of thought must be appreciated: That Man will always impress his fellow Man. Hence there will always be war. War is Man's outstanding locomotive for change. Or as Adolf Hitler once observed, State boundaries are made by man and changed by man. . . [2]
American airborne soldier extraordinaire, General James M. Gavin, author of War and Peace in the Space Age.
Gavin was a practitioner of mobility in war. And as he describes, "Of the many visionaries who had foreseen armored warfare, including Chaffee, Guderian, De Gaulle and J.F.C. Fuller, Fuller was by far and away my favorite. I had read his books avidly. He had described the evolution in warfare that would restore mobility to land battle. And he saw it with all of the attendant problems of communications, command and decision. But more important, he had fitted it into the pattern of history. And this was of the utmost importance, since far more important than 'what' was happening was 'why' it was happening."[3]
General Gavin shares with General Roy S. Geiger of the Marine Corps, that distinct appreciation of the game-changing nature of the Atomic Bomb on military thinking after 1945. The latter understood that amphibious warfare would never be the same; that in lieu of assaulting beaches in the standard fashion, light airplanes and helicopters would have to be developed so as to disperse assault forces when storming a hostile shore; then be able to concentrate them when the situation presented itself. This resulted in the Vertical Assault Concept.
Lieutenant General Roy S. Geiger, USMC, who with the advent of the Atomic Bomb, urged the Corps to use light aircraft and later helicopters to disperse assault troops during amphibious operations. This led to the Vertical Assault Concept.
Gavin, like Geiger, was a practitioner of light aircraft and helicopters for shuttling troops from battlefront to battlefront. He understood that both were superior to gliders and silk. With the former in World War II, wooden gliders were not always reusable, becoming damaged or write offs as a result of battlefront action; in addition, gliders were not self-propelled. Helicopters and light aircraft are self-propelled and are reusable. They are also more accurate in the delivery of troops than the parachute, as evidenced at Normandy with airborne troops dropped all over the French countryside. But Gavin's main message was "thinking." Understanding that Man's science and tools had changed war. That the war of yesterday may not be the war of tomorrow. And his example was France, as he writes:
"Contrary to popular opinion, the Germans did not have greater manpower nor did they have more tanks, nor was the French Army taken by surprise. The French had a military establishment that stopped thinking with the end of World War I, that assumed that the pattern of war would not change and that the great battles of France in the past would be repeated in the future. That the Maginot Line was a monument to this state of mind. I discussed this in Strasbourg in 1953 with a French officer who had just written an article, "Were We Betrayed by the Concrete?" He demonstrated that they were not, and of course they were not. They were betrayed by their own thinking."[4]
Such was Gavin's point: The atomic bomb, with its wide aspect of destruction, elicited fresh thinking for the conduct of ground warfare in the future. And for Gavin and Geiger, this required the development of light aircraft and helicopters to foster the mobility of ground troops so as to prosecute a ground war, even in the nuclear era.
Gavin criticized, as well, the post-1945 thinking on the preponderance of airpower of the strategic variety, based on nuclear deterrence. From 1945 to 1949, America held the monopoly until the Soviets blew a bomb in 1949. Yet the persistence of thinking that strategic airpower, mated with atomic ordnance and superior technology had reduced the importance of ground troops, according to some, to outright irrelevance. War on the Korean peninsula, as noted by Gavin, had proved otherwise, as put forth by the author:
"At first it was hoped that our air and naval power would bring the aggression to a halt. Many, in fact, were confident that it would. I was a member of the Weapons Systems Evaluation at the time, and the senior Air Force member, upon learning that General MacArthur had called for the use of ground troops remarked: 'The old man must be off his rocker. When the Fifth Air Force gets to work on them, there will not be a North Korean left in North Korea.' A boast as idle as it lacked foundation, as Gavin explains, . . .
"'For the Army, trading lives for time and space it was a bitter and costly experience. Six reinforced North Korean People's Army divisions came driving across the 38th Parallel toward Seoul. They were spearheaded by one hundred Russian-made T-34 tanks and amply supported by Russian-provided planes . . . Thus the great might of this industrial nation , five years after the defeat of the Axis powers, could do no better than to airlift two rifle companies and a battery of artillery to meet six aggressor divisions.'"[5] This, of course, was the ill-fated Task Force Smith.
Gavin continues his analysis with, "Of the United States' casualties, in excess of 96 percent were ground troops. Thus the "bigger bang for a buck' and 'we will use machines and save manpower' were brought to a paradoxical conclusion: our casualties were once again most in ground forces who were not expected to have to do much of the fighting. But from a technological point of view, the real tragedy of Korea was that this great nation, with its scientific resources and tremendous industrial capacity, had to accept combat on the terms laid down by a rather primitive Asiatic army. Neither our imagination nor vision in the years since World War II had given us a combat capability that would provide the technical margin of advantage that we needed on land warfare to win decisively and quickly. That we could have gained this margin of advantage is clear now; that we didn't is the real tragedy of Korea."[6]
Between pages 150 to 157, Gavin criticized the New Look defense posture with its reliance on strategic defense at the expense of the tactical nature of war. Such a posture favored the Air Force with "Massive Retaliation," the ability to bomb recalcitrant nations into the Stone Age with the nuclear deterrence via the strategic bomber. But as with Korea and the Revolutionary Nationalists in North Vietnam, the Communists would not attempt a large war as seen in World War II as opposed to engaging, by comparison, brushfire wars or conflicts of the limited variety, which in many instances, does not allow a differentiation between friend and foe. Thereby, negating the nuclear option. In addition to retarding such tactical necessities for ground troops such as VTOL, STOL, tactical missiles and even satellites, not to mention the reduction in ground troops. In other words, Gavin was bringing forth the same mistake made prior to the Korean War.
On page 155, he goes so far as to offer criticism of Secretary of Defense, Charles Wilson: "Mr. Wilson tended to deal with his Chiefs of Staff as though they were recalcitrant union bosses. . . . I have known General Ridgway, after weeks of painstaking preparation, to brief Mr. Wilson on a problem with lucidity and thoroughness. At the conclusion Mr. Wilson would gaze out the window and ask a question that had no relevance whatsoever to the subject of the briefing. Among his aides this was known as taking the briefer 'on a trip around the world.' It was a studied technique that he used when he had his mind already made up about what you were going to talk about. As I heard another Chief of Staff say, 'He was the most uninformed man, and the most determined to remain so, that has ever been Secretary.'"[7]
It is important for the reader to be cognizant of when this volume was published, 1958. The struggle of the ground forces to emerge from a position of inferiority in the defense establishment at this stage of the Cold War must be appreciated. And it is from this perspective that Gavin had written this volume . . . in other words, it is a window into a period of American history, in particular from 1945 to 1958, written not only by a participant of the era, but by a booster of an airmobile army. And not merely from the perspective of preserving the Ground Force in the attempt to justify its existence in an ever more technologically dominated world; but, to create that mobile Ground Force able to carry its responsibilities of defending the Nation's interests, not only on the tactical level, but the strategic as well. But to perform such necessary functions, the Army, as well as the Marine Corps, were of need of the proper tools. And among those proper tools, aerial assets ready at a moment's notice. And if the Air Force was not ready to perform such a function, then the Army required such assets, under the direct control of the Ground Forces, so as to perform the required functions. For in the end, inter-service rivalries that jeopardize the Nation's ability to defend itself, have no place.
At this writing, Gavin's book is more than six decades old. Yet, resonates with a clarity of events that make this volume required reading for Army Aviators; and not solely from the perspective of understanding how their chosen field became a branch of the Army, but also as a gold mine of history. Or as Thomas Jefferson noted, History by apprising them of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of earlier times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men. . . [8]
See page 2, 1. "The Most Significant Event in Our Time," War and Peace in the Space Age, by Lieutenant General James M. Gavin. The author's understanding of human nature is without question. In this he concurs with James Madison, who wrote in The Federalist No. 51: But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is no doubt the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. See page 349, Federalist No. 51: "To the People of the State of New York," February 6, 1788, by James Madison, The Federalist, featuring the political philosophy of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay.
See page 653, Chapter XIV, "Eastern Orientation or Eastern Policy: No Sentimentality in Foreign Policy," Volume Two: The National Socialist Movement, Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler.
See page 40, 2. "As the Twig is Bent," War and Peace in the Space Age, by Lieutenant General James M. Gavin. General Gavin is correct with his summation of J.F.C. Fuller. For Fuller was intelligent enough to grasp the horizontal aspects of history. Same is a study of history to which this writer subscribes, and believes the appreciation of same is lacking in this Nation today. Lends reality to the notion that history does repeat, not exactly, of course, but it does repeat; as such predictability seems endemic in the human condition. Hence the perpetual nature of war.

LONDON -- David Irving, Webmaster of the Focal Point Publications website, states today that an Australian correspondent has informed him that his Internet server, one.net.au, is blocking access to the entire site. Australians using this server are confronted with the word FORBIDDEN when attempting to access information from this Website.
"It appears," comments this Australian, "that the thought police are on the march."
Can you confirm that [you have installed] a commercial filtering software on your server, and identify the filter to us? E.g., Is it Cyberpatrol, Surfwatch, etc.? As a Website we are committed to freedom of speech, and we trust that you are too. If the FORBIDDEN message was generated erroneously, or as a technical fault, please inform us at once.
Mr Irving has made plain that he intends to use this Website as a channel of information to the Australian people about the reasons why he is banned from visiting the country for a third time (unlike Louis Farrakhan and other recent visitors). He reveals that the Australian Jewish community, fearful of free debate with an international historian, has applied pressure to the government, as its own documents reveal.

Mariah Carey Is Being Sued By Her Brother Over Her Memoir
Mariah Carey's Brother Sues Her For Emotional Distress Caused By Her Memoir
Laila Abuelhawa	March 4th, 2021
Mariah Carey - The fighting with these two apparently began after they dated for a short time, or as Mariah calls it, "hung out." Since then, they've referenced each other in many songs.
Morgan Carey, the estranged older brother of Mariah Carey, is suing the pop star for defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress resulting from the publication of Mariah's memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, according to Yahoo! Entertainment.
The lawsuit was filed in New York Supreme Court yesterday and alleges the memoir contains passages that are false and defamatory. Morgan says the book falsely suggests he was violent, including passages of an alleged "vicious fight" between Morgan and their father and him being institutionalized as a young boy.
In the court filing, Morgan also says it was "a betrayal and deep hurtful violation" that Carey disclosed that he was once sent to a kids psychiatric facility.
In one passage in her memoir, Mariah refers to him as her "sometimes drug dealing, been-in-the-system, drunk-a— brother," Yahoo! Entertainment reports.
As a result of the claims made against him in the memoir, Morgan has reportedly "suffered extreme mental anguish, outrage, severe anxiety about his future and his ability to support himself and his family, harm to his reputation and his earning capacity, embarrassment among his friends and associates, disruption of his personal life and loss of enjoyment of the ordinary pleasures of everyday life."
Mariah's older sister, Alison also sued her for abuse claims from her book, demanding $1.2 million just a month ago.
Mariah claims that while growing up, her sister did things like drugging her, putting her in vulnerable situations with older men, trying to sell her to a pimp, throwing boiling hot tea on her, and attempted sex trafficking.
The Meaning of Mariah Carey was released in September last year.
