C.K. Williams – The Trenton Times
by alchemist on Nov 1, 2012 • 12:15 am No Comments
'Singing' the body eclectic
By Lauren Otis
Published in the Trenton Times, February 15, 2004
It is a bucolic spring scene that any Princetonian would recognize: Walking home in the balmy air, from an errand perhaps, and passing under fragrant blossoming trees lining the street. Poet and Princeton resident Charles K. Williams was walking home on just such a day when he encountered a young black man rapping out loud to himself, "freestyling" as it is known, as they both walked along John Street in Princeton. Wiliams turned the encounter into a poem, "The Singing," a rumination on cultural differences and the subtleties of racism which became the title poem of his 2003 collection, a boom which won the National Book Award for poetry in November.
Williams, who goes by C.K. Williams professionally, has long been heralded as a gifted poet with the small and circumscribed world of American poetry. Now his name is becoming a familiar one to the wider world, thanks to his recent award as well as the Pulitzer Prize for poetry he received in 2000 for his collection "Repair."
Area residents will have a chance to experience Wiliams' gift in person this week when he reads from "The Singing" at the Princeton Universidy Book Store Saturday as part of Princeton Alumni Day. (He will also appear with the other three National Book Award winners in a Thursday evening program sponsored by the Princeton Public Library.)
The awards are "richly merited, the only thing that surprises me is they didn't come sooner," says Edmund White, who directs the Princeton University creative writing program, for which Williams teaches poetry composition and translation.
"He's a really great poet," says White. "What is unusual about his work is he writes very long lines thate are sometimes threatening to turn into prose. What is also unusual is his work is completely comprehensible. You feel as if someone has grabbed you by the sleeve and is telling you something very urgent."
"I feel very gratified to have won those things," says Williams of his awards. He maintains the accolades have not altered his life however, a life which for nearly half a century has been largely devoted to crafting poetry. "My life is exactly the same as it was," he says.
Every morning, when he is not teaching, Wiliams says he writes, "then in the afternoon I take time off and just sort of try to think about things."
On a recent frigid winter afternoon Williams, 67, folds his lanky 6-foot-5-inch frame onto a sofa in the modest, art-filled Leigh Avenue home he shares with his wife, Catherine Mauger, an art jeweler. Despite nursing a cold and recovering from knee surgery, Williams settles back and patiently begins to describe his work and the forces that shaped him as a poet.
Wearing comfortable clothing, with his swept-back gray hair framing a craggy face and round glasses, and with his calm, authoritative voice, Williams appears every bit the intellectual man of words and ideas that he is.
A Princeton resident for nearly nine years, he lives part of the year in France, where his wife is from, and plainly finds his current existence a congenial one.
"The intellectual community in Princeton is limitless….there is always someone I'm meeting who I haven't met before, you know, fascinating and brilliant. So I just love it here…I think that I sort of partake of Princeton almost more than live here, although certainly I do live here. This neighborhood, of course, is a very interesting old neighborhood that I am very attached to."
Williams may wear his poetic accomplishments and the accolades he has received with ease now, but the fact that he even chose the difficult path of a poet, and ultimately succeeded, is still something of a mystery to him. "There was absolutely nothing really in my character that indicated that I should be a poet," he says. "It just sort of arrived and it was very hard not to be suspicious myself, of what in heaven's name I was doing."
Williams was born in Newark in 1936, the oldest child of struggling Jewish parents. Although his father's salesmanship would cary him to success in the business world and his family to middle-class comfort, they were still poor when Williams was young.
"I didn't have much of an experience of privation as a kid although, I guess I knew we were poor," Williams recalls. "I guess my consciousness of it came from my mother always being obsessed by it. No matter what happended, her point of reference were those years when we were poor and her fear was always that we would end up like that again…
"I think that she gave me a basic sense of insecurity about the world that I don't thank her for although, she didn't do it on purpose."
The family moved to Philadelphia, and as their circumstances continued to improve, to the suburbs of Philadelphia. Williams went to the University of Pennsylvania and lived in the city until 1980. The urban landscape, particularly of Philadelphia, is readily apparent in much of his work, although rural images appear now with regularity too.
"For me, (Philadelphia) was at the same time reality and a laboratory. It was clearly where the things, the social matters that interested me, were happening. And so I basically wrote what I saw, or grounded my perceptions or my intuitions or my sentiments in what I saw," Williams says.
It was at the end of his sophomore year at Penn that Williams realized he wanted to be a poet. Although Williams' father provided financial support for many years, neither of his parents were particularly supportive of his efforts. Williams' relationship with his parents, particularly with his domineering father, was a difficult one until the end of their lives.
He recounted those difficulties, and how he ultimately made peace with his parents, in a 2000 memoir titled "Misgivings: My mother, my father, myself."
Williams draws on his relationship with his parents, as well as his own experience as a parent and grandparent in his poetry. Of the collection "The Singing" he says, "What pleases me most about it, is (its) range of theme and subject matter. How many different things the book talked about and deals with, how many different emotions and how many different perceptions."
Asked about his poetic influences, Williams reels off a list of more than a dozen poets ranging back to Homer and Milton "who I was just reading again this morning," through the English romantic poets, modernists such as T.S. Eliot, up to contemporaries such as Galway Kinnell and Czeslaw Milosz. He says he thinks more in terms of poems that have influenced him rather than individual poets and these poems number in the hundreds.
Williams has been politically and socially engaged since the 1960s Civil Rights era. Several poems included in "The Singing" deal with the events of Sept. 11 and the circumstances leading up to President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq, a war which Williams strongly opposed.
Living part of the year in France, Williams is plainly in tune with the antiwar attitude that prevailed there. His antipathy for the current administration is evident.
"With our president, I think what most passionately concerns me these days is the shame-faced, shameless lying that goes on," he says. "Essentially, anything is done and then it's lied about, and the media mostly just somehow reports it without exposing it. It's really becoming 1984ish."
Religion and its role in cultural aggression is a theme Williams also is interested in, pointing out how religious misunderstanding and conflict have shaped the post-Sept. 11 world.
"There is no question that religion gives the human race meaning—most people of the human race meaning. I'm not a believer at all anymore, if I ever was. K jst mostly these days see the destructive part of it—the divisive part of it—how it divides the world up into us and them, and sets up various systems of antagonism that leads sooner or later to violence," Williams says.
"It seems, most importantly, to be one of the ways the human race has of finding ways to fragment itself rather than to think of itself as this single sort of miraculous happening and existence that has to be cared for."

Linus is always ready for his close-up!
Co ba gave Mina a kazoo. We are still speaking to her – barely.
I'm kidding, of course. Actually I was really proud of how quickly Mina figured out how to use it!
It was Linus's birthday week. Speaking of Co Ba, she wasn't able to attend his party, so she brought over his presents a little early. He and Mina both love this book.
Mina's favorite animal game: stand all of the animals up as if they've assembled to hear her give a proclamation. Then her hand flicks out and knocks 'em all over. She's not always a benevolent ruler.
Any animals hiding in there?
This little monkey keeps climbing the outside of the staircase. I'm just so grateful the wall interrupts at about the 5-foot mark.
Linus's birthday party. All of the kids got together with Co Betty to watch Shaun the Sheep.
Then there was cake! I wasn't sure how Linus would handle being the center of attention, especially when we all sang to him. He actually loved it. He got a big delighted smile. I wish we'd thought to take a video!
In case you're wondering, it's a chocolate peanut butter icebox cake. It took some effort the night before, but the rave reviews were worth it.
Linus knew in theory how to blow the candles out, but I helped a bit.
And then he tucked in!
Presents afterward. It doesn't matter how sternly the invitation says "no gifts!" He still makes out like a bandit.
We bought a new car! It comes pre-installed with a Mina.
In case you're curious it's a Bolt. That's the little all-electric Chevy. We simply love it. No more gas!
Back at the Museum of Science. You get to go anywhere on your birthday week!
Another gift from Co Ba. He really loves this one.
I think Mina might have an idea of how cute she is. She poses like this from time to time, and when we get annoyed with her, she really turns on those huge eyes.
Hanging out on the deck. That spray bottle means he's up to no good!
Holding on for safety in the elevator.
And… back at the Museum of Science! Mina is starting to interact more with the exhibits. She used to just kind of wander around, but now she plays just like the big kids.
Sometimes even a little more!
This was another date with Linus's friend Ilse.

16 Things You Need to Know About Badass Jewish Lawyer Gloria Allred
By Arielle Kaplan	 Mar 13, 2019
Gloria Allred hasn't taken a vacation in nearly 40 years. People are often surprised when she returns emails on the weekends and holidays, to which the Jewish lawyer reasons: "Your problem doesn't wait for Monday."
At 77, Gloria is as fearless and badass as she was back in the '70s when she represented Jane Roe in the infamous Roe v. Wade case. (Yup, that one, in which the Supreme Court recognized a woman's right to an abortion.)
The case was a personal for Gloria — seven years prior, as she notes in her autobiography, Fight Back and Win, she had a back-alley abortion after being raped at gunpoint while on vacation in Mexico, where abortion was illegal. "The doctor [at the hospital] told me he didn't care if I lived or died," she told the LA Times. "The nurse told me this was my fault."
Revered as a "feminist lawyer," the defender of women and victims of sexual abuse has no plans of retiring. From paving the way for legalizing gay marriage in the United States to holding intense press conferences, Gloria has earned her title as one of the best attorneys in the country.
Currently, the Jewish grandmother is working on yet another high-profile case: Earlier this week, her client Gary Dennis turned in a tape to authorities that appeared to show R&B singer R. Kelly sexually abusing young girls. While Gloria acknowledges that she can't be "100 percent certain" that the man in the video is in fact Kelly — who is already facing 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse — if it is, the evidence would be incriminating.
Many of Gloria's cases create national news, but as she once told Harpers Bazaar, only about 10 percent are picked up by the media. But now that she's recaptured the spotlight, we thought you should know more about this incredible woman.
1. Gloria Allred — born Gloria Rachel Bloom — was raised in Philadelphia by her salesman father, Morris, and British-born housewife mom, Stella. When asked how they met, Gloria told The New Yorker her doting Jewish parents used to say "in Baltimore, on a streetcar named desire."
2. Since her father was busy working as a door-to-door salesman and her mother dabbled with all sorts of religions, Gloria would go to synagogue on her own, mostly to attend Sunday school. Her high-school best friend Fern Brown Caplan recalls Gloria being "the most popular girl at every synagogue dance." (Wait, synagogues have dances?)
3. She met her first husband, Peyton Bray, at a mixer at the University of Pennsylvania, and they married during her sophomore year in 1960. One year after having her daughter, Lisa Bloom, the couple divorced. Gloria was a single mom as she completed her senior year of college — no wonder she knows how to get shit done! Gloria married William Allred in 1968; they divorced in 1987.
4. Along with her law school friend Michael Maroko, in 1985 Gloria won a case against a group of Holocaust deniers who had promised $50,000 to anyone who could dig up evidence that Nazis gassed Jews in Auschwitz. Holocaust survivor Mel Mermelstein — who endured the horrors of Auschwitz — gave his testimony and even provided ashes from the death camp. The deniers accused him of lying, which prompted Mermelstein to sue them. In the end, he won a nearly $100,000 settlement, as well as a public apology from deniers.
5. She has a connection to everyone's favorite royal, the Duchess of Sussex (who, we all now know, is not Jewish — but her BFF is!). After watching a commercial that advertised soap exclusively to women, 11-year-old Meghan Markle wrote a letter to Proctor & Gamble, pleading them to halt their sexist marketing. They company paid no attention, until Markle sent a similar letter to Gloria, whose influence persuaded them to take down the commercial.
6. One of Gloria's earliest badass moves: In 1981, she sent Senator John G. Schmitz, a staunch anti-abortionist, a chastity belt. In response, Schmitz called her a "slick butch lawyeress" — which ended very poorly for him. Gloria sued the senator for libel, and pocketed a $20,000 settlement and an apology. Hell yeah!
7. Gloria is literally a matriarch of a family of legal minds: Daughter Lisa Bloom is also a feminist attorney — she represented Blac Chyna when her baby daddy Rob Kardashian shared her nude photos on Instagram, as well as and a myriad of women who accused Fox News host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment. (Fun fact: Rob's father, the late lawyer Robert Kardashian, was O.J. Simpson's friend and lawyer, and faced off with Gloria in the murder trial.) Gloria's granddaughter, Sarah, is also a lawyer, and her grandson, Sam, is a paralegal.
8. Gloria and her daughter once worked on opposing counsels: Lisa represented Harvey Weinstein after the first allegations of sexual harassment came out while Gloria represented the victims. "I only represent those who allege that they are victims of sexual harassment," Gloria told The Wrap.
9. A year after being admitted to the State Bar of California in 1975, Gloria founded the Allred, Maroko & Goldberg firm. The firm would later become the first to file a lawsuit in California that led to the right of same-sex couples to marry in the state, which paved the way for same-sex marriage across the country.
10. Barack Obama has called Gloria "one of the best attorneys in the country." Wow!
11. Gloria once sued a men-only club over membership discrimination policies. The Friars Club in New York didn't allow her or her male guest (who was not a member of the club) to have a business lunch, to which she told the New York Times that the club didn't consider "the fact that women such as myself also do business at lunch." After she was done with them, Gloria became their first female member.
12. Thanks to her work, pregnant actors were given rights to continue working while pregnant. She represented actress Hunter Tylo in a case against Aaron Spelling for firing her because she was pregnant — she was supposed to appear on Melrose Place — which led the jury to grant her $4.8 million in reparations. Yowza!
13. She's represented a slew of clients in high-profile celebrity cases, including Mel "Scary Spice" Brown, Britney Spears' bodyguard, the woman who accused Angel star David Boreanaz of sexual harassment, and 28 women who accused Bill Cosby of rape.
14. Gloria also represented a client in a defamation suit against President Donald Trump. Of course, Trump has denied allegations that he kissed and groped Apprentice star Summer Zervos. Citing "personal reasons," Gloria's firm withdrew from the case.
15. While she was kicking ass in the courtroom, she also managed to co-host a radio show on KABC Talk Radio in Los Angeles for 14 years. On top of that, she also hosted a nationally syndicated TV show, We the People, with Gloria Allred. Although it only ran for two years, it was nominated in 2012 for a Daytime Emmy Award.
16. Now that you know all these incredible facts about Gloria, it shouldn't surprise you that last year Netflix released Seeing Allred, a movie about her incredible road to success, and how she helped victims turn into survivors.

The Illuminated Books of William Blake, Volume 1
Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion
Edited by Morton D. Paley
David Bindman, General Editor
107 color plates
The nature of William Blake's genius and of his art is most completely expressed in his Illuminated books. In order to give full and free expression to his vision Blake invented a method of printing that enabled him to create works in which words and images combine to form pages uniquely rich in content and beautiful in form. It is only through the pages as originally conceived and published by the poet himself that Blake's meaning can be fully experienced.
David Bindman is Durning-Lawrence Professor of the History of Art at University College, London. Morton D. Paley is Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley.
Published in association with the William Blake Trust
"Jerusalem represents a publishing event. Because it was finished at the very end of his life, Blake colored only one copy; this is the first time a full-color reproduction is available to the general public.... Elaborate notes and commentary distinguish [the] volume, and the color printing is exceptional."--Lewis Segal, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A triumph. The exquisite images and a lucid text of each volume endow not just Blake's work, but the relationships between work and image with crystalline clarity.... To read, to study, or simply to admire, these books are invaluable."--Eric Gibson, The Washington Times
"The publication of this book is a scholarly event of great importance, for. . . the quality of this publication itself, and the matchless importance of the work. . . . [T]his remarkably good reproduction makes possible for the first time a widespread recognition of the distinctiveness of this work. . . . [Readers] now and in subsequent generations can open eyes into worlds of vision that had previously been closed to all but a few."--Terence Allan Hoagwood, Blake: An Illustrated Quarterly
"Of the four complete copies of Jerusalem printed by Blake himself, only one is fully coloured and, in Blake's chosen word, `finished'. . . . This is the copy reproduced here, and transcendently splendid work it is, too."--Grevel Lindop, Times Literary Supplement

The Global Farmland Rush
By Michael Kugelman
OVER the last decade, as populations have grown, capital has flowed across borders and crop yields have leveled off, food-importing nations and private investors have been securing land abroad to use for agriculture. Poor governments have embraced these deals, but their people are in danger of losing their patrimony, not to mention their sources of food.
According to Oxfam, land equivalent to eight times the size of Britain was sold or leased worldwide in the last 10 years. In northern Mozambique, a Brazilian-Japanese venture plans to farm more than 54,000 square miles — an area comparable to Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined — for food exports. In 2009, a Libyan firm leased 386 square miles of land from Mali without consulting local communities that had long used it. In the Philippines, the government is so enthusiastic to promote agribusiness that it lets foreigners register partnerships with local investors as domestic corporations.
The commoditization of global agriculture has aggravated the destabilizing effects of these large-scale land grabs. Investors typically promise to create local jobs and say that better farming technologies will produce higher crop yields and improve food security.
However, few of these benefits materialize. For example, as The Economist reported, a Swiss company promised local farmers 2,000 new jobs when it acquired a 50-year lease to grow biofuel crops on 154 square miles in Makeni, Sierra Leone; in the first three years, it produced only 50.
Many investors, in fact, use their own labor force, not local workers, and few share their technology and expertise. Moreover, about two-thirds of foreign investors in developing countries expect to sell their harvests elsewhere. These exports may not even be for human consumption. In 2008 in Sudan, the United Arab Emirates was growing sorghum, a staple of the Sudanese diet, to feed camels back home.
Much of the land being acquired is in conflict-prone countries. One of the largest deals — the acquisition by investors led by the Saudi Binladin Group of some 4,600 square miles in Indonesia — was put on hold because the area, in Papua, was torn by strife.

The prospects for conflict are heightened by legal uncertainties. Often, an absence of authoritative land registration and titles makes it easy for foreign investors, with the connivance of host governments, to secure land that local communities have long depended upon, even if they cannot demonstrate formal ownership. About 500 million sub-Saharan Africans rely on such communally held land, and land sales can be devastating, as in Mali. Access to food is often cut off, livelihoods are shattered and communities are uprooted.
Not surprisingly, the land sales provoke protests and then repression. Last year, in Cambodia, where 55 percent of arable land has been acquired by domestic and foreign agribusiness interests, the authorities killed an activist, a journalist and a teenage girl facing eviction; jailed other activists, and harassed politically active Buddhist monks.
To be sure, financiers have invested in farmland for centuries: Ancient Romans acquired assets in North Africa, just as American fruit companies secured plantations in Central America a century ago. But today's transactions are far bigger. Nearly 200 private equity firms are expected to have almost $30 billion in private capital invested by 2015.
Some speculators just sit on high-value land they have acquired without cultivating it. In many traditional communities, this feels like a desecration, a violation of land's purpose and meaning. That kind of capitalist disregard can set the stage for pitched battles over land that investors see as uninhabited, but that local communities cherish as a source of food, water and medicine, or venerate as ancestral burial grounds.
The chief drivers of the global farmland race — population growth, food and energy demand, volatile commodity prices, land and water shortages — won't slow anytime soon. Neither will extreme weather events and other effects of climate change on natural resources.
In theory, host countries could limit how much land can be acquired by foreigners, or require that a minimum portion of harvests be sold in local markets. Argentina and Brazil have announced measures to limit or ban new land concessions. But investors use their wealth and their own governments' power to impede regulation. Host governments should establish better land registration practices and enact safeguards against the displacement of their citizens. The World Bank and other international entities must ensure that their development projects are free from the taint of exploitative practices.
Of course, this will be difficult because so many host governments are riddled with corruption and prioritize profit-making land deals over the needs of their populations. Cambodia, Laos and Sudan — all sites of transnational land purchases — are among the world's 20 most corrupt nations, according to Transparency International.
"Buy land, they're not making it anymore," is a quotation often attributed to Mark Twain. These days, that advice is being heeded all too well.

Din Domacasse, Chief Ranger of the Bonaire National Marine Park, has recently completed his fifteenth year of employment and service with STINAPA Bonaire. Back in February, 1993, Din began his career with the marine park, and he has been working for the betterment of Bonaire's reefs every since.
Long-time visitors will remember when Din began his diving career as a popular divemaster at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino. After several years within the island's dive industry, Din moved to the marine park in order to assist with conservation and preservation efforts.
Divi Divi Air has been a favorite of Bonaire inter-island commuters for many years due to their friendly, customer-oriented service and on-time performance. The airline has just announced they have added a fifth aircraft to their fleet of planes.
The new aircraft is a Dornier 228, which landed on Bonaire recently. The plane originated its journey to Bonaire in New Zealand, and arrived on the island after more than fifty hours of flying time and with an intermediate stop in Ecuador.
In a continuing effort to streamline operations and contain costs, American Airlines/American Eagle today announced that effective May 1, 2009, they will cease flights from their San Juan hub to Bonaire.
Passengers holding reservations for American Eagle flights between San Juan and Bonaire for travel after April 30, 2009 should contact American Airlines or their travel provider as soon as possible to make alternate arrangements.
There are still a variety of easy, non-stop flights available to passengers originating in North America with flights from Newark, New Jersey, New York, New York (JFK), Houston, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. Connecting flights to these gateways are available with good schedules.
Delta offers their weekly non-stop flight each Saturday from Atlanta to Bonaire and return. Additionally, Delta operates a second weekly non-stop flight from New York's JFK to Bonaire, also on Saturdays, during periods of peak demand. For more information about Delta�s service to Bonaire, visit their web site at www.delta.com.
Continental Airlines offers two to three non-stop weekly flights. The first is a round-trip flight between Newark and Bonaire departing each Saturday evening. Continental Airlines also flies a weekly non-stop rotation, departing Friday evenings from its Houston hub, and, during the eight busiest months of the year, Continental also operates a second rotation from Houston each Saturday evening, arriving on Bonaire on Sunday morning. For more information about when the second rotation operates, visit the Continental web site at www.continental.com.
The annual Bonaire Rotarally, sponsored by Bonaire's Rotary Club, has become a fun-filled, much-anticipated event in which locals and tourists alike can participate for an extraordinary day. This year's Rotarally will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2009.
Those interested in participating should meet no later than 9:00 AM on Sunday, March 15, 2009 at the Sport Hall on Kaya Amsterdam. Tickets are available now, and are FL 50.00 (about USD $ 28.09) per car, and includes two free BBQs for the end of the rally.
Den Laman Condominiums is pleased to announce their May Sale: Pay for 5 nights and get 2 nights free.* This Bonaire ocean-front property features 16 fully air-conditioned apartments with modern kitchens, dining, and living areas.
Recently, a joint effort between sailboat cruisers and the Bonaire National Marine Park resulted in the removal of over 60 automotive tires from the shallows along the shoreline of Kralendijk.
Chief Ranger of the Marine Park, Din Domacasse, attended a meeting in which it was agreed that three park staff members--Juan, Apo, and Polina-- and a park boat would work together with the cruisers to pick up only those tires that had no coral or sponge growth on them.
A survey of the boaters resulted in 100 percent participation among them, as over forty people were organized into teams made up of divers, swimmers, and boat workers. Toucan Diving kindly provided free air fills for the divers. At the close of January, the group worked tirelessly (pun intended!) for three hours to retrieve over sixty tires, which eventually filled a garbage bin, provided by Bonaire's waste management company, Selibon.
In its continued efforts to become powered by 100 percent sustainable energy, Bonaire announced today that the Phase One Wind Farm should be completed this year and that full conversion is planned for 2012.
In 2007, the island government, which takes pride in the island�s beauty and nature preservation, agreed to a multi-faceted project to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel energy by developing an energy system comprised of an 11MW wind farm, 14MW biodiesel plant, and a 3MW backup battery. Ecopower Bonaire BV, a consortium consisting of Evelop, Enercon, and MAN, is spearheading this project that is expected to complete its first phase by the end of 2009.
The project developers have already completed the installation of a pilot 330KW wind turbine, whose current energy production exceeds any initial expectations. Accordingly, 12 additional 990 KW wind turbines are being installed on the north coast of the island, where wind and surf conditions are most ideal. By the end of 2009, these wind turbines should produce 44% of the island�s energy. The remaining 56% will be produced by the planned 14MW biodiesel generators, utilizing fuel derived from algae, which will enable the island to shift to 100% sustainable energy supply within five years.
CIEE Bonaire will host its next public talk at their new offices on Wednesday, February, 18, 2009, entitled The Potential of Green: Becoming New By Becoming Whole.
Those interested in attending should meet no later at 7:00 PM at the CIEE Building at Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot #26. The talk will be presented by J. Tedrowe Bonner, who has focused his lecture on investigating whether rapid technological innovation, which has allowed the development of "green" products, is positive. While often it is, technology in and of itself will not bring us to the point of sustainability. This talk explores the concept of "whole systems thinking" and how it is employed to regenerate the social and ecological health of regions. Ideas for Bonaire will be explored in light of a whole systems approach.
Written by owner/operator, Ann Phelan, Bonaire Bliss is a potpourri of news and information about Bonaire reflecting her experiences as a travel specialist for the island.
The new blog will feature travel deals, hotels, and tourism news, while spotlighting a restaurant twice each month.
Readers can view windsurf video clips that have been submitted to the blog, and diving customers of Caribbean Wind & Sun Vacations are able to submit their underwater images as well.
Cactus Blue Bar and Restaurant opened three short years ago, and, in that time, it has become a popular eatery for many return visitors to Bonaire. Recently, they celebrated their third anniversary with their customers, and they now begin their fourth year in business by augmenting their service to include a lunch menu.
The anniversary celebration began with the restaurant being festooned with balloons and paper streamers. Both Corinna and Hagen, together with their sons, Sebastian, Florian, and Christian, and members of the staff, enjoyed a frenetic, but enjoyable evening, as the restaurant was fully booked. Island musical legend, Moogie, played his familiar sounds of Caribbean jazz and entertained the diners right up to closing hours. During the evening, both Corinna and Chef Hagen found time to mingle with all the diners, as well as hand out some presents.
The long awaited "Book of Recipes" was also made available and a copy was donated to the Rotary Club of Bonaire as an auction item to help raise money for the "Breakfast in Schools" project enabling more than one hundred local children to enjoy a nutritious and healthy breakfast every day while at school.

"The child laughs: wisdom and love is my game! Young sings: game and my wisdom is love! Old mum: my game is love and wisdom!"
Child's first smile and first mother in tears ... It is joy, but an ancestral sadness, since ancient times. Getae crying in a baby, because a human being have to face hardships of life and laughing to death, because they went to their great god, the Zamolxis. Somewhere in the depths of our souls keep unsuspected, perhaps, sadness Dacians, but just keep watching it and joy. We come into the world wearing, without knowing, as we all feelings, dreams, hopes, sorrows and joys of our parents ... Nature helps us make the first gesture self-defense, hiding somewhere deep within us and let us find alone if I got Pandora's Box or Alladin's treasure. The child recognizes its mother, I feel the protecting arms, I hear your voice and warm acquainted with love ... The child looks at and moves his little hands: it is a big step in his evolution, but is the first game. The first game that loves him, which begins the first game to win experience, to pick wisely. Find out what new and wonderful things can happen and unless stretches little hands ... Separation of mother and child first learn what the word miss ... First broken toy and baby baby get acquainted with sadness ... Playing soul of human emotions found in his parents' heritage, enriches them and shape them. For him life is a game and the game is his life. Where and when childhood ends? Maybe when we first Meet the disappointment? Maybe when favorite toy is forgotten in a corner look for brown bloom? Can not hear when he says colleague mate in front of us to see not only the best smile in the world? Nobody really knows ... We wake up one morning and we realize that world has changed, as everything else around us, I am a happy and things people which, until yesterday, I did not even there. We believe we can achieve anything that we can be the most important people in the world, we think the world ends if scribble that I wrote will not answer you are dreaming. All up in May Days mean our lives are just childhood game because now we fascination is more serious and more deeply: first love. We do everything for first love: become strategists conceive almost perfect and every day that another strategy to conquer his beloved, but we want everything to look a play a simple game. We are somewhere in the depths of our soul, wisdom of build the most beautiful and unique dream of love, but to go further when we We must wake up and steel armor to not be crushed. A gentle breeze cools our cheeks and tears no leaf still not moving, everything is quiet around. It's just a hand of a parent or grandparent we delete the silent tears. Silence surrounds us and we are happy to have found that years shoulder days I could cry, arms who have protected and where we feel safe. I wonder when I looked last time, really, her eyes full of love? Did you I looked last time other than as Dniester elderly who do not understand anything youth turmoil? They have forgotten that they were young will only protect us, we just trust them we were afraid that something bad might happen, we understand not only would want to repeat their mistakes and have a life woven with gold and silver. In ancient times people jerfe materials brought to the temples to the gods find out what they meant gods or to ask for forgiveness. Temple life is jerfesc dreams and hopes, but never tells us what the oracle we are doomed. We learn, in turn, gave those around respect, joy, hope without expecting something in return.

// The Perfect Holiday Escape: Cage Diving with Sea Monsters
The Perfect Holiday Escape: Cage Diving with Sea Monsters
West Palm Beach, FL, Dec. 4, 2020—Looking for a safe, unique and affordable vacation the entire family will enjoy? How about a virtual trip to a remote island where you can visit the most advanced state-of-the-art aquarium complexes ever conceived, holding the most terrifying prehistoric sharks and sea monsters that ever lived!
Welcome to www.SeaMonsterCove.com, arguably one of the most original and ambitious entertainment venues ever imagined. The creative force that recruited an international team of 3D animators, 2D artists, engineers, actors, producers and an ancient shark museum curator is Steve Alten, author of the NY Times bestselling MEGseries, the source material for the 2018 summer blockbuster, The MEG, starring Jason Statham.
"The story that runs through every offering at Sea Monster Cove, from the virtual aquarium experiences to the TV series and video game came to me back in December of 2019," Alten recalls. "I remember waking up at 4 a.m. and lying in bed enjoying a rare moment of peace and calm — no rigidity or tremors. (Alten was diagnosed 15 years ago with young onset Parkinson's disease). It was as if my mind had found its way into the eye of the neurological storm. What happened next was totally unexpected — a wave of creativity came to me out of nowhere as beats in an entirely new giant shark story. It was so good and so detailed I knew I had to get it down on paper before I fell back asleep. So I dragged myself upstairs to my office and began searching for the key to the entire story — a remote island that somehow I knew was out there … and there it was — Maug."
Enter SeaMonsterCove.com and you are guided through a quick history of Maug, a remote (and very real) island located in the Northern Marianas. Five million years ago Maug's volcano erupted so violently that it blew the island apart, leaving behind three islets that had been the rim of the volcano and a lagoon where the magma chamber had flooded. Why place a virtual island resort here? That's where Alten's storytelling takes over. Eight years ago, a French marine biologist, Dr. Maxime Rostand, discovered superheated mineral water rising up through Maug's lagoon (all true). Returning from an exploratory dive, the scientist and his two colleagues realize they are not alone — a pirated fishing trawler has entered the lagoon and is listing badly beneath the weight of their catch — an enormous pregnant Basking shark. When the panicked creature drowns in the shallows, Rostand and his team perform an emergency C-section on the mother, releasing 15 pups — all female. Only two survive: Snowflake (an albino) and Layla (dark). Max and his team will discover the deceased mother to be a prehistoric Mako known as a Black Demon shark and the source of the lagoon's hot mineral water to be a primordial aquifer located 2 miles beneath the sea floor — its inhabitants dating back 380 million years.
Flash ahead eight years and you are now ready to meet the critters. "There are two major complexes on Maug Island," Alten explains. Sea Monster Cove holds six marine habitats that date back to different eras in our history, while the O-Quarium is home to our star attraction, Snowflake." The albino pup saved by Dr. Rostand is now a 63-foot, 25-ton monster that is best viewed via one of the suites at the Black Demon Inn, a 5-star hotel with suites that back up to the main tank. Snowflake is waiting for you there, circling outside your bedroom window.
At SeaMonsterCove.com, the special effects are motion picture-worthy, and the wildlife doesn't just swim around in benign circles; in fact, they seem quite aware that you are watching them, and some of them clearly do not like it, especially when you enter their domain to do a little "cage diving." In each of these heart-pounding, 360-degree experiences, the user controls the viewing angle, attempting to track the attacks as they happen (there are day and night versions available). The action is nonstop and the creatures so real that it is easy to lose yourself in a two-hour reprieve from reality.
Dr. Rostand's adventures are told in Alten's episodic TV series, Where Sea Monsters Roam. Most unique: what happens in the series also happens during your aquarium visits. Also in development and expected to launch soon is the Sea Monsters Roam video game where members will be able to experience what it's like to venture into the prehistoric aquifer to hunt and capture these monsters themselves. There's also an education center, and a private library offering enhanced versions of Alten's novels as well as teacher curriculum materials for distance learning. Perhaps the most surprising element is the cost to enter: less than $10 a month for the entire household.
And Alten isn't quite done with movies yet. The MEG sequel, MEG-2: The TRENCH, is in pre-production, as is The LOCH (a thriller about the Loch Ness Monster) along with one other underwater feature, which cannot be announced just yet (but the enhanced version of the novel is available in the website's private library). Steve Alten is also the founder and director of the nonprofit Adopt-an-Author teen reading program, considered by many educators to be the most effective tool to get reluctant readers to read.

We live in ceded territory
by Lynn Mizner
Lynn Mizner
Early in Minnesota's statehood, the United States government signed the 1837, 1854 and 1855 treaties with Ojibwe nations in the central and northern parts of the state, effectively taking possession of the majority of the land the people (Anishinaabeg) relied on for survival.
After having been pushed off the land and hampered in their annual rounds of hunting, fishing, harvesting and gathering, food preservation and sheltering for the winter, some Ojibwe signed treaties on behalf of the people that they understood would ensure them land on which to live undisturbed. In exchange for that and some government payments, they ceded territories to the state where colonists could live and conduct logging, mining and agriculture. The 1837 and 1854 treaties guaranteed the rights to hunt, fish, gather and pray in perpetuity (forever) in the ceded territories. The 1855 Treaty was less explicit, but because of the language negotiated in the earlier treaties the people assumed they would continue to have those rights. The 1855 Treaty created the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation and protected the right of Ojibwe who live outside the reservation to continue to do so.
Many Minnesota residents have either never heard about treaty rights in the ceded territory, or think they are too far in the past to be important today. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Article II, Clause II of the U.S. Constitution affirms treaties as different from legislation; they are agreements between sovereign nations.
Public schools have not done a good job educating Minnesotans about this part of their history, and the many immigrant Minnesotans may have never heard that they live on the land under agreements set forth in treaties, but that doesn't mean it is not important. Rights to live from the land are cherished by the Anishinaabeg, and are essential to the preservation of culture.
In 1997 the state was sued by Anishinaabeg who sought to affirm usufructory rights in the 1837 ceded territory around Mille Lacs and Knife lakes in north central Minnesota and in eastern Wisconsin. The state lost that case and as a result there is a treaty fisheries technical committee ensuring an equitable distribution of the harvest of fish in the ceded territory lakes.
Other rights to hunt for food and gather sacred items like bark and medicines also continue to exist. It is a continuous battle to ensure that they are not destroyed by construction, overuse of water, ecosystem damage and development. The state has historic preservation officers to ensure that activities respect those rights and do not destroy the ecosystems on which the Anishinaabeg depend for their health and physical and cultural survival.
Any activity that destroys native plant communities, impairs waters and prevents the use of traditional foods, medicines, building materials and sacred sites is a violation of the treaties, which continue to be the law of this land.
People who live in the ceded territories should take every opportunity to acknowledge that, and respect the agreements that allowed Minnesota to develop on Ojibwe lands in the early days of Minnesota statehood. Interpretation of the language of the treaties can be found online at the Minnesota Historical Society's searchable resource www.mnopedia.org/
