Mainstream Engineering Awarded Contract from the US Navy for Improved Magnetic Shielding
ROCKLEDGE, FL — February 16, 2017 — Mainstream Engineering Corporation, a 31-year-old Brevard County manufacturer with a history of leading-edge research and development that has resulted in advanced, lean-manufacturing, cost-competitive products, which are all made in the USA, has been awarded a contract from the U.S Navy for Multilayered Shielding of High Strength Magnetic Fields
Acceleration of a launch package from an electromagnetic launcher requires the generation of high magnetic fields which creates the challenge of protecting components within the launch package from damage due to these fields. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has awarded Mainstream the contract to develop improved magnetic shielding that will balance magnetic field shielding with weight, strength, and volume considerations. This improved shielding is necessary to protect components from the extreme magnetic fields generated during the acceleration of a launch package from an electromagnetic launcher.

A clipboard is a thin, rigid board with a clip at the top for holding paper in place. A clipboard is typically used to support paper with one hand while writing on it with the other, especially when other writing surfaces are not available.
Another use that was typical before the era of personal computers (which brought about word processing and computer graphics) was to hold pieces of text and art that had been clipped with scissors from one sheet of paper to be pasted with paste onto another sheet. This use provided the analogy and terminology for computer clipboards.

Is Cooked Meat Bad for Dogs?
Cooked properly, meat can be a healthy part of a dog's diet.
When commercial dog foods no longer appeal to you or your dog, an all-natural diet that is high in protein and nutrients is the obvious alternative, but you need to decide on a raw meat or cooked meat diet. Both diets have pros and cons that need to be considered before feeding your four-legged friend.
While the natural diet of dogs is raw meat and vegetables, raw meats may contain bacteria, such as salmonella and e. coli, and parasites that can make your pet sick. By thoroughly cooking meats, you rid the meat of these dangers and still provide your pet with the benefits of an all-natural diet. Make sure the meat is fresh and free of fat, gristle and bones that may splinter or get caught in your dog's throat. In other words, if the meat or meat byproducts are not good for a human, they are likely not good for your pet, either.
Avoid using seasonings in the cooked meat for your dog. Onion and garlic can cause anemia in your pet that can lead to vomiting and breathlessness. Other spices and seasonings, such as salt, can also cause problems. Too much salt in a pet's diet can cause sodium ion poisoning. Baking soda, baking powder and nutmeg are among some of the pantry items that could make your dog deathly ill.
An all-meat menu will not provide your pet with a balanced diet. Just like humans, canines need a healthy mix of fruits, vegetables and grains. Commercial dog food producers carefully gauge the amount of each nutrient that is needed for a pet. You will want to do that for your pooch, too, based on your veterinarian's recommendations. Specific health conditions, age, dog breed and size are all factors that play a role in determining the balanced diet needs of your pet.
Avoid drastic and sudden changes in your pet's diet from a commercial dog food to a cooked meat diet. The shock to your dog's system may cause him to get sick. Rather, begin by mixing a little cooked meat with his regular dog food and gradually -- over the course of a couple of weeks -- add more meat and vegetables as you decrease the amount of commericial dog food.

Société Pétrolière Expands Liquified Petroleum Gas Business
Société Pétrolière Ltd
KIGALI, Rwanda, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Société Pétrolière Ltd ("SP"), the East Africa mid and downstream oil company, has installed eight Liquified Petroleum Gas ("LPG") storage and cylinder filling plants across Rwanda. This doubles the country's LPG storage and filling capacity. Each of these facilities has a storage capacity of 20m3 and is capable of filling c.a 1,000 bottles per day.
The expansion is another step in the development of SP and marks the company's continued expansion into a wider range of petroleum products in Rwanda and neighbouring countries.
Egide Gatera, Founding Shareholder of SP Ltd. expands LPG operations
The plant will add to SP's fast-growing presence, training 19 new members of staff to fill and distribute the cylinders which are provided in sizes of 3kg, 6kgs 12kgs and 15kgs. The amount of LPG imported in Rwanda has doubled from 5,020,595 kilograms in 2016 to 18,278,617 kilograms in 2018* and is set to continue this trend.
The environmental benefits are also clear and supported by the World Health Organisation.
Egide Gatera, Founding Shareholder of SP Ltd said, "More Rwandans are using gas for cooking and industry. They realise that using gas is healthier and cleaner than using charcoal or fire wood. In line with our commitment to reach the wider population, SP is the first in Rwanda to have LPG storage and filling facilities outside of Kigali."
"After receiving ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification earlier this year, this is an exciting development for Rwanda and for SP. We look forward to helping more households and industrial users switch to better and cleaner gas as we continue to invest and operate to the highest possible standards in the region," added Yves Legrux, CEO for Société Petrolière Ltd.

Bill Soules, the chairman of the Senate Education Committee, took aim at state economists who warned that this year's surge in revenue may not last.
SANTA FE - As New Mexico enjoys a revenue boom — after a financial crisis just two years ago — legislators are struggling with how much they should set aside for the next rainy day.
The debate boiled over Wednesday as the chairman of the Senate Education Committee took aim at state economists who warned that this year's surge in revenue may not last.
Sen. William Soules, D-Las Cruces, questioned whether state officials are being too cautious by recommending the Legislature maintain reserves of 20 to 25 percent of state spending levels. He said he had reviewed a report from an international credit rating agency that recommended New Mexico keep about 17 percent in reserves.
Soules' comments came as lawmakers face pressure to sharply boost spending on schools — after a landmark court ruling that said New Mexico isn't providing at-risk students with an adequate education.
Economists working for the legislative and executive branches of government have repeatedly warned lawmakers this week about the potential for an economic recession sometime in the next few years and highlighted volatility in the oil industry — a critical source of state revenue. The price per barrel of oil has fallen from about $75 in October to closer to $51 this month, for example.
Soules suggested some of the economists' fears are unfounded.
"You all have been pretty lousy over the last few years at predicting the future," Soules said Wednesday during a meeting of the Legislative Education Study Committee.
Investing in the people of New Mexico — through spending on schools and education — would help the state grow in a sustainable way, less susceptible to wild swings in oil prices, he said.
The economists responded that they're simply trying to prepare lawmakers for the wide range of potential outcomes in the next budget year, not discourage them from making their own policy decisions about how much to spend.
Just a $1 change in oil prices can result in a $17 million change in annual state revenue, they said.
"The oil industry is prone to sudden shocks," said Dawn Iglesias, an economist for the Legislative Finance Committee. "It's up to you as lawmakers to decide what level of risk you want to protect against in the event of a downturn."
The state Department of Finance and Administration this week recommended reserves of at least 25 percent in the short term and higher reserves in future years. Legislative economists suggested at least 20 percent, in addition to other cautionary measures aimed at ensuring the state has enough cash in case of another budget crunch.
The back-and-forth came as New Mexico enjoys a massive bump in revenue, thanks largely to an oil boom in the Permian Basin. The state may run up a surplus of $950 million this year, unless more spending is authorized.
Altogether, the budget now authorizes about $6.3 billion in general-fund spending this fiscal year, which ends June 30.
For the next fiscal year, state economists are projecting about $7.4 billion will be available, though they've stressed that there's uncertainty over how much money will actually materialize.
Responding to Soules, some legislators pushed back on the idea that the state's economists are too cautious.
"We know due to global events totally out of our control, things can change overnight," Sen. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces, said.
Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, said he understands the difficulty in trying to project future revenue.
"I love the fact that we have all of this new money," he said. "Don't count on it being there in a year. Don't count on it being there in two years."
No one has offered a firm estimate on how much it will cost to boost school funding to satisfy the landmark court ruling. A judge gave the state until mid-April to assemble a funding plan that meets constitutional requirements.
Just two years ago, the state nearly depleted its cash reserves. Moody's Investor Service downgraded New Mexico's bond rating as recently as this summer — the state's second downgrade in two years — citing high pension liabilities and other factors.
Soules, meanwhile, said the state must walk a line between reasonable frugality and holding too much money back during a time when there are tremendous needs. He pointed to a "stress test" analysis conducted by Moody's.
In 2017, Moody's Analytics estimated that New Mexico needs 17 percent in reserves to withstand a severe recession.
But state economists said Wednesday that New Mexico is increasingly reliant on the oil sector — something that isn't captured by an analysis that examines past years.
About 80 percent of this year's revenue growth, for example, is directly related to the oil and gas industry, legislative economists said in a report this week.
New Mexico is on pace for a record year in oil production. And just last week, the U.S. Geological Survey said that New Mexico and Texas are home to the largest pool of oil and gas reserves ever announced by the USGS — a finding that prompted U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to say "Christmas came a few weeks early this year."
More: Carlsbad has high gas and oil activity, says the BLM. How do other oil states compare?


Having brought the individual back into consideration, the authors of Why Leaders Fight immediately attempt to make that resemble as closely as possible a mathematical equation. Was this national ruler someone who had been in the military, and was he or she in combat? What was their first experience with war? What is their education level? What is their age?

Unsung Heroes: Honouring the Merchant Navies of the Second World War
by Reverend Dr. Morar Murray-Hayes
Delmanor Glen Abbey Residence for Seniors held a Remembrance Service recently at which they honoured the men and women who served and lost their lives in the British and Canadian Merchant Navies in the Battle of the Atlantic.
The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign of World War II and the most essential to win. Britain required more than four million tons of imports a month to survive and to fight.
Winston Churchill knew the value of the Merchant Navies:
The Battle of the Atlantic was the dominating factor all through the war. Never for one moment could we forget that everything happening elsewhere, on land, at sea or in the air depended ultimately on its outcome.
One Man's Story
JBM Murray, a resident of Delmanor, was Second Radio Officer with the British Merchant Navy from Glasgow, Scotland. By 1941, he had made three voyages, one successful in reaching Canada and returning with goods, including trucks, ambulances, ammunition from Montreal and three tons of dynamite from Sorel Quebec. His second ship was attacked barely escaping destruction. His third trip -- on the Harlesden -- ended with a vicious storm at sea, significantly damaging the ship. After repairs, the Harlesden set sail again in early February, 1942. An excerpt from his memoirs follows, describing the sinking of the Harlesden.
"Saturday 22nd February, 1942 dawned bright and clear. The sea was calm and there were no other ships to be seen. We expected to arrive in North America in a few days time.
About 9.30 a.m. radio silence was suddenly shattered by an S.O.S. from one of the other ships which had been in our convoy. "RRRRR....." told us the attack was by a surface raider rather than S for submarine or A for aircraft. Half an hour later we received a similar message from another ship. The distress messages from the two ships were picked by Mackay Radio on the east coast of Canada and relayed as a warning to other shipping. We shut down our own radio in case emissions would disclose our position to the enemy raider."
They headed south, hoping to evade attack. At 2.30 in the afternoon they were strafed by a plane killing the Second Mate and injuring another.
Murray's memoir continues:
"At 8.30 that evening it was just getting dark. I was on watch in the radio room along with the Third Radio Officer, Bob Thomson a barber from Paisley on his first trip to sea. We could not use the radio but we were on duty in case we had to send out a distress message. We were both lying on the floor half asleep.
Without any warning a shell shattered the radio room carrying its equipment on into the wheelhouse killing the man at the wheel. The radio room was reduced to rubble and open to the air. What saved me was the miraculous fact that two pieces of rubble jammed on the floor in an inverted V shape over my head. If I had been sitting up or standing I would have had no chance of survival. I was wounded in the back, how seriously I did not know until much later.
There was no sign of Bob Thomson. My next thought was for my lifejacket which had been on top of a cupboard. I looked around and stared into a searchlight high up in the sky. There was no lifejacket. There was no cupboard. The guns went again, shelling the bridge and putting a row of shells from stem to stern on the starboard side of the Harlesden just under the waterline. Within minutes the ship started to list to starboard. Fires had started on deck.
I dropped down to the main deck in time to see the lifeboat on the port side being lowered, and I clambered in unrecognised, covered in cement dust from the concrete blocks erected around the radio room for protection.
Now we could see our attacker, a huge battleship - the Gneisenau - heaved to nearby, and up ahead of the Harlesden was her sister ship the Scharnhorst.
We were ordered alongside the Gneisenau and were hauled aboard. As we stood on deck we witnessed the last of the poor old Harlesden go down by the stern, the fires on deck being extinguished as she sank beneath the waves. The Germans pulled someone from the water but he was dead and they threw him back. I believe this might have been Bob Thomson.
We lost seven in the action out of our complement of 41, including John Harper, Greaser from Montreal.
The two destroyers sank 5 ships on that day, all from our convoy, including the A.D.Huff, Canadian."
Murray's memoirs go on to describe over four years of imprisonment at Marlag und Milag Nord, where the 5000 captured Merchant seamen were held. The Canadian Red Cross, along with the British Red Cross, kept the prisoners alive with regular packages.
By the end of the war, over 72 000 sailors and merchant seamen had been killed. 3 500 merchant vessels were sunk along with 175 warships. 30 000 Germans lost their lives.
1,600 Canadian merchant sailors were killed, including eight women.
The Battle of the Atlantic was the only battle of the Second World War to reach Canadian shores. U-boats disrupted coastal shipping from the Caribbean to Halifax, and even entered into battle in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Rear Admiral Leonard Murray, Commander-in-Chief Canadian North Atlantic, wrote:
"...the Battle of the Atlantic was not won by any Navy or Air Force, it was won by the courage, fortitude and determination of the British and Allied Merchant Navy."
While veterans of the British Merchant Navy received full benefits, Canadian Merchant mariners were not recognized as veterans until the 1990s. Murray, though a British veteran, travelled to Ottawa to speak on behalf of his Canadian colleagues.
The war work of the Canadian Red Cross was a factor in Murray's decision to emigrate after the war.

Akwa Utd's Adio eyeing winning start
by Our Reporter
Akwa United midfield ace, Yusuf Adio has sent a message to the fans of the Promise Keepers to forget the struggles of last season, as the team prepare to tackle the 2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) campaign.
"We were out of sorts at some stage last season. The team was eliminated in the CAF Confederations Cup and the Federation Cup but I can tell you that we have learnt lessons from that," Adio told Goal.
"The team actually grew during those trying period, and that showed in the closing stages.
"The positives gained from last season, plus the form we have showed in our preparation for the new campaign should tell everyone this is a different Akwa United. We plan to hit the ground running this time around."
The Uyo-based side failed to sparkle and finished in an unfashionable position at the end of the 2016 season.
Akwa United are on the road in the week one of the 2017 NPFL season against ABS FC at the Kwara Stadium on 15 January 2017.

Corporate Fear Drives Caribbean Vaccine COVID-19 Mandates
The private sector and some government agencies have demanded that staff vaccinate, especially in the tourism industry that drives many regional economies. Credit: Zadie Neufville/IPS
By Zadie Neufville
KINGSTON, Nov 22 2021 – When face-to-face Cabinet meetings resumed in Jamaica following more than a year of virtual meetings due to COVID-19, Ministers lined up to have their immunisation cards inspected.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness said the Government "has to lead the country towards normality".
"The way to do it is for every Jamaican to comply with the infection, prevention and control measures that have been established, which will eventually be relaxed the higher the level of vaccination," he said after the October 12 meeting.
In the current atmosphere, outbreaks, no-movement days that shut down commerce and vaccine hesitancy send ripples through the economy. So, while Jamaica has no national vaccine mandate, private sector companies and some government agencies are already demanding that staff vaccinate.
In addition to several vaccination drives that target employees, Jamaica Private Sector Organisation joined the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce and the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association to put their support solidly behind a campaign for a national mandate.
The groups say that with the low vaccination rates almost two years into the pandemic, Jamaica is being left behind in achieving population immunity, putting the country's recovery at risk. The groups contend that the social and economic impact will be devastating, and "the ripple effects will continue for years to come". But even with growing support for a mandate, opposition leader Mark Golding opposes one. Only about 17 percent of the Jamaican population is vaccinated.
Across the region, governments have already implemented mandates. In Guyana, nationals who want to enter any public buildings, including banks, restaurants, supermarkets and schools, must show proof of vaccination. In the twin-island state of Antigua Barbuda, opposition legislators accused House Speaker Sir Gerald Watt of acting beyond his powers after he prevented them from participating in the sitting of the Senate because they did not show proof of vaccination.
With each outbreak, concern for the tourism industry that drives many regional economies grows. Many countries now have vaccination policies for incoming adult travellers. These include Anguilla, Grenada, St. Barts, St. Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, and the Cayman Islands.
And even as governments ponder mandates, they are also bracing for civil unrest and legal challenges from workers. In a recent opinion, the Jamaican Bar Association said nothing was preventing the Government or employers from implementing mandates. The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States outlined its position in a 16-page document titled: "The Legal Dimensions of Mandatory/Compulsory Requirements for COVID-19 Vaccinations, August 2021".
According to the report, that countries could legally pursue mandatory vaccination laws.
"Having demonstrated … that mandatory vaccination is constitutionally appropriate given the leeway granted in favour of public health imperatives, it is submitted that employers could justify a requirement in a pandemic context, at minimum where the workplace is a high-risk environment, such as health-care, or essential services, or for workers more at risk at the workplace, such as frontline workers interacting with the public," the document said.
But while public health legislation specifically addresses restrictions in times of pandemic, those who oppose mandates argue that they are a breach of human rights.
President of the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions, Helene Davis-Whyte, is expecting a national mandate if efforts to boost vaccination numbers fail. She argued for a comprehensive public awareness programme with consultations before such a step is taken and cautioned that a "draconian approach" could discourage some people.
"We are not necessarily opposed, but what we are saying is that you have to do more work because we don't think that enough work has been done," she told journalists recently.
And so, armed with their individual legal opinions, governments have been implementing the rules they say will protect their countries. By October 2021, at least seven governments across the region had instituted COVID-19 mandates for government workers.
In August, in Guyana, police were called to evict staff members in the education ministry's head office who had entered the building without proof of vaccination. Earlier that month, there were mass protests in St. Vincent and Barbados. And in July, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves was hit on the head and injured by an angry protestor during anti-mandate demonstrations in St Vincent.
Barbados, like Jamaica, has not officially backed a vaccine mandate, but Holness acknowledges he may have to make the decision soon. But even with no national mandate in Jamaica increasingly, civil servants find they must be vaccinated to work.
The Ministry of Tourism has raced ahead to vaccinate the 170,000 people who work in the sector. Already workers who come in contact with cruise ship visitors must be fully inoculated.
And as the country eyes a return to full-time school, it's the turn of teachers and school staff. Medical workers have already been issued a mandate. In the private sector, more than 80 per cent of staff are vaccinated.
In the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector, where several companies became hotspots during the height of the first wave, vaccination is compulsory. In Jamaica, COVID-19 restrictions and 14-days of lockdown cost the sector US$42 million (J$5.88 billion) in revenue.
But it is in the region's tourism industry that mandates have become the norm. Hoteliers and other service providers seek to prevent lawsuits and shutdowns by demanding that staff be fully vaccinated. In the Bahamas, workers and visitors must be fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated visitors face a 14-day quarantine. Jamaica is aiming for a 100 per cent vaccinated workforce.
A growing number of countries have instituted vaccination policies for incoming adult travellers. These include Anguilla, Grenada, St. Barts, St. Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, and the Cayman Islands.
Meanwhile, the private sector's desire for a return to normalcy and increased economic activity could push many toward a vaccine faster than any government mandate could.

La sécheresse de 2022 en Europe est un épisode de sécheresse en Europe continentale et dans les îles Britanniques depuis début 2022.

Cette situation débute par un déficit hydrique dès l'hiver 2021-2022, marqué par de faibles pluies, et résulte en des restrictions d'usages d'eau à l'été ainsi qu'une série d'incendies dans plusieurs régions métropolitaines.

Selon l'Observatoire mondial de la sécheresse (GDO, ) du Centre commun de recherche de la Commission européenne, la sécheresse est la pire depuis 500 ans.

France

Chronologie
La sécheresse s'est installée dès l'hiver 2021-2022. L'hydrologue Emma Haziza constate que l'année 2022 est caractérisée par un manque de précipitation en hiver et au printemps.

Dès le , huit départements ont mis en œuvre des mesures de restriction des usages de l'eau.

Le comité d'anticipation et de suivi hydrologique du 18 mai identifie des risques de sécheresse. Le ministère de la Transition écologique publie une cartographie du risque de sécheresse par département pour l'ensemble de la France métropolitaine avec 3 niveaux de risques : très probable, probable et possible.

Au mois de juillet, seuls  de pluie sont tombés. C'est le mois de juillet le plus sec depuis le début des mesures en 1959. La sécheresse concerne la totalité du territoire de France métropolitaine. La sécheresse se manifeste notamment par le faible enneigement dans les Alpes, un niveau historiquement bas des rivières et un niveau très bas des lacs comme le lac de Serre-Ponçon ou le lac de Sainte-Croix.

Le mois de juillet arrive après un printemps déjà très sec. Le département de la Drôme, par exemple, est en alerte sécheresse depuis le .

Le , l'ensemble des 96 départements de France métropolitaine sont placés en vigilance sécheresse. Parmi ces départements, 60 départements sont considérés en crise sécheresse le .

Le , le ministre de la Transition écologique, Christophe Béchu, fait savoir que « plus d'une centaine de communes » sont privées d'eau potable, une situation qualifiée d'« historique ».

Le , la Première ministre Élisabeth Borne annonce la création d'une cellule interministérielle de crise.

Contexte

Mise en perspective historique

Au cours des 50 années précédentes, la France a connu d'autres épisodes de sécheresse notamment en 1976, en 1989-1990, en 2003, en 2011 et à l'automne 2018. La sécheresse de 2022 est comparable en intensité aux épisodes de 1976 et 2003 d'après le climatologue Jean-Michel Soubeyroux.

Situation météorologique
En parallèle de la sécheresse de 2022, la France métropolitaine est touchée comme la plupart des pays d'Europe par plusieurs épisodes de canicule.

La sécheresse renforce la crise énergétique en Europe liée à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022.

Causes et explications
À l'automne 2021, la situation des nappes phréatiques était globalement favorable. La période de recharge des nappes phréatiques 2021-2022 a été largement déficitaire. Cela s'explique largement par le déficit pluviométrique de l'hiver 2021-2022.

Localement, la situation hydrologique dépend du
type de nappe. Les nappes phréatiques inertielles conservent un niveau d'eau peu dégradé alors que les nappes phréatiques réactives sont directement affectées par le manque de pluie.

Conséquences

Incendies

La sécheresse a pour conséquence des feux de forêt, en particulier des mégafeux en Gironde et des restrictions d'eau. Le système européen d'information sur les feux de forêt recense plus de  de surfaces brûlées sur les sept premiers mois de l'année, dépassant déjà l'année 2019 où  avaient brûlé. À titre de comparaison, la forêt d'Orléans d'une surface de , dont  de forêt domaniale, est la plus grande de France dans ce registre.

Des régions habituellement épargnées de ces phénomènes de feux de forêt, comme la Bretagne, sont également concernées,  selon la préfecture du Morbihan .

Tensions sur les nappes phréatiques
En Haute-Corse, les réserves d'eau s'épuisent et début août le préfet appelle ses administrés à diminuer leur consommation d'eau.

À Seillans dans le Var, la nappe phréatique est asséchée et la commune est approvisionnée en eau par un camion-citerne. La commune a mis en place des mesures de restriction de la consommation d'eau par personne à hauteur de  par jour. Pour faire respecter la règle, la commune pose des dispositifs de restriction du débit sur les compteurs des habitations qui excèdent le seuil.

Conséquences sur le marché de l'électricité
La production hydroélectrique s'est effondrée à la suite de la sécheresse.

En parallèle, le faible niveau du Rhin diminue le tonnage net des bateaux transportant le charbon vers les centrales allemandes, ce qui augmente les coûts de production. Par conséquent, le prix du mégawattheure sur le marché européen a parfois atteint  en août.

La production d'électricité thermique est aussi menacée, car la faiblesse du débit des fleuves et la température élevée de l'eau de ceux-ci baisse l'efficacité des échangeurs thermiques constituant la source froide des turbines à vapeur. EDF a été contraint de réduire sa production d'électricité nucléaire.

Conséquences sur la faune sauvage
La sécheresse de 2022 en France et plus généralement en Europe de l'ouest a des conséquences dramatiques sur la faune sauvage.

Risques pour le bâti
La multiplication des sécheresses expose les bâtiments construits sur des sols argileux au phénomène de retrait-gonflement des argiles, ce qui peut conduire à des fissures et une fragilisation du bâtiment. Le ministère de la Transition écologique estime que près de 10,4 millions de maisons individuelles sont potentiellement très exposées.

Débat public

Questionnement sur la gestion de l'eau
Dans une tribune au Figaro, Hervé Mariton défend l'idée
que les capacités de stockage des eaux pluviales sont faibles, l'utilisation se faisant sur des stocks naturels fortement déficitaires.

I'm a little hoarse: trying Sacred Hard singing
Monday night I tried my hand at Sacred Harp singing. There are local groups that sing and I went to the one that meets weekly in Berkeley. I've written about Sacred Harp before here and more extensively over at the music blog.
They meet and sing in a small chapel in a theoligical seminary just north of the UC campus. Pews are moved around to make a square with a couple rows per side: basses are across from trebles, altos are across from tenors. Some started–the first person to lead got up in the center of the square and called out a number–28, I think it was. We all turned our books, the Sacred Harp, 9th Edition to that page. The leader–in this case, but sometimes it was another singer–sang the starting notes. We sang through the song once on "so la fa mi" then through with the words and then the cycle repeated. We repeated this process until the evening was up–perhaps 40 times in total.
I was a bit nervous about giving this a try. I haven't sung from music in a number of years and even then it was quite briefly, with a lot of voices to hide behind and with a lot of rehearsals. It turned out to be fine, of course. I still can't sight sing, but I could follow the strong singers in my section just fine. By the end I had even picked up the names of the shape notes. As it turns out, these help a lot–going from "fa" to "fa", for instance is always either a fifth or an octave.
When it came my time to lead, I said I'd pick one–one of my favorites, "Sherburne"–but didn't want to lead it. I got cajoled into leading that song with someone else.
Anyway, at this group at least, people sang. And loud. And without any pretensions or adornment in their voices. It was a lot of fun. Just letting your voice go and singing out. I was a bit hoarse the next day.

That song reminded me of Half-Handed Cloud, both in terms of style and subject.
I am all for fun and singing, but the motherly side of me feels compelled to point out that voices are like hearing or skin — once you damage it you can't undo the damage. Singing loud and free is fun, but just be careful. You have the whole Mr. Radio Voice thing going on, you don't want to hurt that voice!
But it sounds like a great way to enjoy singing. Wee!


It's necessary to have your own company website containing all the information people may wish to know about who you are, where you are and what you do. It's also necessary to employ SEO best practices on your website to make that information absolutely clear to the search engines. Without SEO, your pages may not rank highly and unless it ranks on the first page of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), potential customers are going to have a hard time finding your business' website.
Sometimes people are looking for more knowledge about your business. They may know the name, but want to find the phone number or address. Other times, they may know a certain type of enterprise, like a Yoga Studio for example, exists at a location, but need to discover the name. They may need to check operating hours, find driving directions, learn what brands are carried or discover what's on the menu or where to park. When people search for this kind of information, SEO helps the search engines provide it to them via the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
why local SEO will help attract new customers?

Protective and therapeutic effects of fucoxanthin against sunburn caused by UV irradiation.
Mild exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is also harmful and hazardous to the skin and often causes a photosensitivity disorder accompanied by sunburn. To understand the action of UV on the skin we performed a microarray analysis to isolate UV-sensitive genes. We show here that UV irradiation promoted sunburn and downregulated filaggrin (Flg); fucoxanthin (FX) exerted a protective effect. In vitro analysis showed that UV irradiation of human dermal fibroblasts caused production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) without cellular toxicity. ROS production was diminished by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or FX, but not by retinoic acid (RA). In vivo analysis showed that UV irradiation caused sunburn and Flg downregulation, and that FX, but not NAC, RA or clobetasol, exerted a protective effect. FX stimulated Flg promoter activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Flg promoter deletion and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that caudal type homeo box transcriptionfactor 1 (Cdx1) was a key factor for Flg induction. Cdx1 was also downregulated in UV-exposed skin. Therefore, our data suggested that the protective effects of FX against UV-induced sunburn might be exerted by promotion of skin barrier formation through induction of Flg, unrelated to quenching ofROS or an RA-like action.

If you are looking for a way to make your birthday party something a little more unique and fun for all who attend, consider adding birthday cake sparklers to the top of your cake.
One of the latest trends to take off over the past few years is replacing the tried and true candles on top of the cake with birthday cake sparklers. For many years, this simply wasn't possible as the sparklers were poorly made, unreliable, and made a lot of smoke. No one wants sparklers like this on top of their carefully baked and decorated cake.
Very few adults want their cake covered in candles, the older you get, the more likely you are to need the fire department to help put them all out. The worst part, you probably don't have enough cake to feed everyone, including the firefighters. Make this much simpler by using number sparklers to indicate the age of the person celebrating. Even kids will get a big kick out of seeing their 'New" age displayed on top of the cake using birthday cake sparklers.
This is only the beginning. Instead of using number sparklers, you could just as easily use our 6-inch bottle top birthday cake sparklers on top of the cake. These birthday sparklers are designed to burn for 50 seconds emitting a shower of golden sparks that won't hurt the cake or leave ash stains on your tablecloth.
Our cake sparklers are unlike the old-school sparklers designed exclusively for outdoor use that gave off huge amounts of smoke into the air. The last thing you want is to have a massive cloud of smoke floating around your home during your celebration; this is a fast way to bring an end to the party as everyone scrambles to get outside for a breath of fresh air.
Both bottle top birthday sparklers and number sparklers are made using steel wire stems that emit no smoke. Each package of bottle top sparklers contains six individual sparklers, so make sure you buy enough to get the job done. You may even want to pick up a few of our standard sparklers for your guests to enjoy during the party.
It takes more than a few candles, some streamers, and a cake to make the party memorable. At Wedding Sparklers Outlet, we carry 6-inch bottle top/birthday cake sparklers and number sparklers that can be used to indicate the person's age. Let us help you create a birthday party your friends and family are sure to remember for many years to come. Be sure to order plenty of birthday sparklers for everyone to enjoy on this special day.

Freedom of Information Center (FOICA) was founded by journalists and lawyers on July 1st, 2001 in Yerevan, Armenia.
The mission of FOICA is to promote application of the RA Freedom of Information Law, contribute to the transparency and openness of the Armenian government system and to stimulate civic society's involvement in the governance system.
The main directions of the FOICA activities are:
Open Government Partnership Initiative
Freedom of Information Center of Armenia is a pioneer in fostering Open Government Partnership objectives in Armenia by setting up a productive dialogue and cooperation between the Government and civil society. On June 14, 2013, the FOICA jointly with the Government of Armenia organized "Open Government Partnership-Armenia" the first international conference in Yerevan.
FOICA plays an active role in the development of the OGP Armenia Action Plans, implementation and monitoring of the implementation process against the commitments. Under 27 January, 2012 50-Ա decision of the RA Prime Minister about "Creating a workgroup in order to elaborate the Action Plan for Armenia's participation in the OGP", the FOICA was included in the working group. Taking into consideration the importance of the Action Plan and the necessity of actions ensuring its further implementation, the FOICA has developed more than 25 suggestions/recomendations, in order to include them in the Armenia's Action Plan. Most part of FOICA's suggestions has been included in the 1st Action Plan and in the 2nd Action Plan.
In 2013 FOICA launched OGP/Armenia web site www.ogp.am with USAID/Armenia funding to ensure access to OGP related information for the society, to provide regular updates on the progress of the Armenian government in meeting its commitments of Action Plan. The site provides information about ongoing projects and initiatives, as well as future plans of the government in promoting open governance, transparency and a greater degree of public engagement.
The FOICA has organized a series of public debates on the draft National Action plans thus ensuring public participation in the development process of this important document. The debates and public discussions organized by the FOICA provided a unique forum for a constructive dialogue between the NGOs and the Government, where they engage in a collaborative debate..
The FOICA pubilisizes monthly electronic newsletter on OGP/Armenia to regularly inform the public about international and local developments around OGP.
Freedom of Information Center, using freedom of information as a tool to fight against corruption, is actively involved in the anti-corruption struggle since 2001.
The organization is involved in various anti-corruption activities, including providing trainings for civil society groups and public officials, organizing public education campaigns, supporting development of anti-corruption national strategies as well as monitoring of their implementation, monitoring political parties campaign financing and public procurement. In 2014-2016 FOICA is fully involved in the anti-corruption struggle through its 3-year "Multi-Faceted Anti-Corruption Promotion" ongoing project funded by EU.
Beneficial ownership initiative
For ensuring a realistic fight against corruption and against money laundering, in 2018 the FOICA initiated public consultations on beneficial ownership and worked closely with the RA Government to adopt a new commitment on beneficial ownership field in the 4th National Action Plan of the Armenian Government in OGP. This commitment was approved by the government in November 2019 and became a part of the 4th NAP. The main idea of this commitment is to establish beneficial ownership public registry of company beneficial ownership information. The registry will contain and make publicly available information about who ultimately owns and controls Armenian companies. Here below are the main activities to reach this main goal:
To develop draft legislative and institutional framework for beneficial ownership transparency
To organize public discussions with all stakeholders on the draft package of legislative framework
To submit the legislative package to the National Assembly for final adoption.
Consultations with the stakeholders in order to develop the technical reference for developing the public register.
Development of the public register and upload data
Full functioning of the public BO register.
Wide public awareness campaign on BO register
Thus, a requirement will be placed on all companies to obtain and hold adequate, accurate and current information on their beneficial ownership – defined as the natural person(s) who ultimately owns or controls a legal person or arrangement. This reform may have advantages in terms of public scrutiny, building public trust and ensuring investors.
Legal counseling, Advocacy and Strategic Litigation
During its 18 years of operation FOICA has provided legal consultations on FOI-related issues to more than 7000 persons (citizens, media, CSOs, journalists and legal persons). The FOICA helps civil society groups to appeal unjustified information refusals in courts, hence making positive court precedents in the FOI field in Armenia. In 2006-2018 the FOICA brought 54 court cases with 80% positive outcome against national and municipal bodies for illegal refusals of information requests.
By organizing country-wide trainings for over 6914 people including 2843 civil and community servant on the implementation of the FOI legislation. Training modules developed by the FOICA team have been approved as mandatory by the RA State Civil Service and the Minister of Territorial Administration for ongoing trainings of civil and community servants.
Public Campaign
FOICA actively advertises the public's right to know and the Armenian "FOI Law". It exposes cases of violation of access rights through broadcast and print media, as well as Internet. Dozens of TV talk shows and programs, investigative articles, conferences, FOI Annual Award Ceremonies were organized. Since 2001 the center has been publishing the "You have the right to know" Bulletin which is the only Armenian periodical specialized in freedom of information. Each issue of the Bulletin contains a "black-list"of those officials who have violated the access to information right of citizens, journalists, NGOs and juridical persons. The FOICA's website www.foi.am is a professional resource for everyone to get knowledge and news on freedom of information, including local and international practice. As a substantial part of public campaign, since the adoption of the Armenian FOI law in 2003, each year on September 28 – the International Right to Know Day, the FOICA organizes the Golden Key FOI Annual Award Ceremony since 2003 to assess the openness and transparency of the government and to criticize closed and secret work style.
Legislation reforms
The FOICA has played an active role in the elaboration and adoption of the Armenian law on "Freedom of information". The FOICA has initiated the drafting and adoption process of the second generation of the freedom of information legislation reforms. The reform package was developed together with the Armenian Ministry of Justice; Member of the National Assembly Viktor Dallakyan and the civil society. At present the package is included in the agenda of the National Assembly's session.
Improvement of mechanisms for proactive publication of information by the central and local government bodies
In 2008-2009 FOICA established mechanisms for log-in, tracking and addressing FOI requests in 5 regional central government bodies and 5 municipalities. In 2008- 2012 FOICA has placed 270 information billboards in the most crowded places of 57 targeted communities of Armenia to help local government administrations proactively publish information to be widely available for the community people.
E-Government Reforms
The FOICA implements a number of activities aimed at establishing new electronic government mechanisms in the government system. In 2011 the Freedom of Information Center has fully modernized the official websites of the Armenian Ministry of Territorial Administration and the 10 regional administrations. The FOICA is also supporting the Government to effectively use "Mulberry" electronic documentation sharing system in the governance system. For this purpose a series of training sessions and working discussions were organized in 2009-2010. In addition to this, computers were provided to municipalities and regional administrations.
The FOICA carries out a constant monitoring of the implementation practice of FOI legislation in the state agencies and local self-government bodies. Every year the Freedom of Information Center of Armenia sends over 1000 information requests to state agencies and local self-government bodies, which makes the Centre one of the organizations that most actively use the Armenian Law on Freedom of Information. During past 17 years the FOICA carried out a number of monitoring projects to find out the state of freedom of information in Armenia.
In 2014 the Freedom of Information Centre developed and launched a Rating system to assess openness and transparency of information holders (particularly state and self governmental bodies) - the FOI Index. Based on the developed more than fifty criteria the Freedom of Information Center's experts will assess the level of transparency and freedom of information in state and self governmental bodies and every year will compile the annual FOI index.
FOICA is a member of:

How did your education at Redwood Christian Schools help prepare you for your calling in your role(s) today?
When I was in middle school my parents gave me the option to choose where I would attend High School. I choose RCS because I had never seen students and staff open a class time in prayer before – it blew my mind! My four years at RCS lived up to all of my expectations. It truly showed me how to keep Jesus at the center of my life, not just at church, but in my academics, sports, and even my social life. It laid a strong foundation for me to be in full-time ministry today.
What is your topic for Impact Week?
If there is only one thing you want students to walk away with after Impact Week, what would it be?
For young women to realize that they are ACCEPTED, SECURE and SIGNIFICANT in Christ.


This was the third year for the Swissvale Mile, a one mile race and walk that is a fundraiser for the Swissvale Police Department's K9 unit. I'm proud to say that we've been a sponsor since the race began.
This year the weather was very cooperative, and we had a great turnout for both the run and the walk. The first year there was only the one mile walk, and I took a little over 100 photos. Last year there was both a race and a walk. Unfortunately there was some serious rain and turnout was low. I shot around 200 photos. This year, with the good weather, and having a second photographer (my son), we ended up with almost 700 photos.
I did have one surprise that I wasn't expecting. After we were done, I discovered that the clocks in the two cameras were off by almost 30 seconds. As a result, the photos aren't exactly in chronological order. I thought they had been in sync a month earlier, and once they are set they shouldn't be off by that much. Moral of the story: I've added a "Check cameras clock sync" item to my preparations checklists.
The full set of images are here.
I've been a professional photographer since I was in college in the late 1970s, when coeds paid me to take their photos. I've been a "weekend warrior", doing weddings for the last 25 years, and shooting digital since 2004. At the beginning of 2006 I left my "Dilbert" job to pursue photography full time. I currently live in Pittsburgh.

Sexual Harassment Allegation Against Bowe Bergdahl Unfounded
A frame grab from the Taliban propaganda video released Dec. 25, 2009, purportedly showing U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl taken from a video made available by IntelCenter. IntelCenter via AP file
Posted By: Patrick James May 29, 2015
We've all heard the stories surrounding Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was charged with desertion after leaving his post in Afghanistan in 2009. Held captive by the Taliban for five years, Army officials are attempting to prevent "false reports" of sexual harassment, by announcing that he has not been accused of sexual harassment.
The officials announced to NBC News on Thursday that even though a female specialist at Fort Sam Houston in Texas made a unofficial complaint in February, indicating that Bergdahl harassed and stalked her, she never directly accursed him of sexual harassment.
During an informal inquiry, the two soldier's commanding officer decided the allegations were not true. The female soldier accepted the informal hearings decision and did not file a formal complaint.
The woman had also accused Bergdahl of "unwanted contact and stalking, including leaving origami at her barracks door, showing up at her front door in a gorilla suit and hanging around her while she was on staff duty."
During the informal inquiry, they found that Bergdahl often left origami for all of his fellow soldiers and that he often would often put on a gorilla suit and walk around the barracks.
The Army specialist claimed in one instance, that Bergdahl was stalking her one particular evening and watched her through the office window at Fort Sam Houston. Yet the inquiry found that Bergdahl was actually off-base having dinner with other soldiers who had been assigned as escorts when he left base.
Bergdahl had been assigned to administrative duties at "Fort Sam" in San Antonia, Texas last summer after a reintegration process following his release by the Taliban.
He is scheduled to appear for an Article 32 hearing at the base on charges of "deserting his post" in Afghanistan in June of 2009. He was captured and held hostage by the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network for five years before Obama worked out the negotiation which included exchanging five high-ranking Taliban prisoners housed at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for the release of Bergdahl, back in May 2014.
Army officials are now stating that they believe the "false reports" that are currently being circulated, regarding Bergdahl's behavior at Fort Sam are the direct result of his high-profile as well as the public's interest in his "desertion" case.

Waldgeist G1 headlines banner day for Galileo
Victory in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud for Waldgeist (4c Galileo-Waldlerche, by Monsun) headed a haul of three European Group-race wins for the incredible Galileo on Sunday.
The progressive four-year-old provided trainer Andre Fabre with an amazing eighth success in the Saint-Cloud showpiece when holding off the high-class Coronet to prevail in the colours of Gestut Ammerland.
"It was a great performance and, although he has taken time to mature, he is stronger now as a four-year-old," said Ammerland's Dietrich von Boetticher. "He has proved himself since the start of the season and was given a great ride by Pierre-Charles Boudot today.
"Ultimately, I imagine the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the main target and we will discuss plans in time, but it will be up to Andre Fabre to decide where and when he goes next."
Fabre added: "He is in the G1 King George at Ascot, but it was a big effort today so we will see how he comes out of it before committing. Waiting for the G2 Prix Foy (at Longchamp in September) is another option."
Meanwhile, also on Sunday, Aidan O'Brien sent out Flag Of Honour (3c Galileo-Hawala, by Warning) to win the G2 International Curragh Cup while stablemate Yucatan (4c Galileo-Six Perfections, by Celtic Swing) landed the G3 International Stakes, also at the Curragh.

Diplodus  è un genere di pesci ossei marini appartenente alla famiglia Sparidae, comunemente noti come saraghi.

Descrizione
Benché le dimensioni dei saraghi che si possono in genere osservare vicino alle coste frequentate dall'uomo siano piuttosto contenute, alcuni esemplari possono superare i 40 cm e i 2 kg di peso.

Tutte le specie di saraghi presentano un corpo tondeggiante e compresso, con livrea di colore grigio-argenteo e una  macchia nera poco prima della coda, ovvero sul peduncolo caudale.D. vulgaris si distingue facilmente dalle altre specie per la presenza di una vistosa banda nera nucale, che si estende  dal dorso alla inserzione delle pinne pettorali. Il muso appuntito è invece uno dei caratteri distintivi del D. puntazzo, assieme a 7-8 strie verticali scure sui fianchi. Anche il D. sargus presenta 8-9 striature verticali scure e può essere distinto per la presenza di una macchia scura alla base delle pinne pettorali. Il D. annularis, con sagoma leggermente più allungata e dimensioni massime inferiori rispetto ai precedenti, non presenta strie verticali pronunciate, ha una colorazione grigio-argentea con sfumature giallo-verdi e pinne ventrali gialle.

Distribuzione e habitat
Questi pesci sono diffusi nel Mar Mediterraneo e nell'Oceano Atlantico orientale, dove vivono in fondali rocciosi o misti, dalle acque costiere fino ad una profondità di 100 metri. Benché i saraghi, e in particolare il D. sargus, ambita preda dei cacciatori subacquei, trovino principalmente rifugio in tane poste ad una certa profondità, quando le condizioni di tranquillità ambientale lo consentono, nella ricerca di cibo (la principale risorsa sono i ricci che vengono triturati con un idoneo apparato dentario) frequentano la fascia prossima alla battigia, avvicinandosi notevolmente alla superficie. .

Tassonomia
Il genere comprende 15 specie e 8 sottospecie:

Diplodus annularis () Sparaglione, Sparlotto
Diplodus argenteus ()
Diplodus argenteus argenteus ()
Diplodus argenteus caudimacula ()
Diplodus bellottii ()
Diplodus bermudensis
Diplodus capensis  ()
Diplodus cervinus ()  Sarago reale, Sarago faraone
Diplodus fasciatus ()
Diplodus holbrookii ()
Diplodus hottentotus ()
Diplodus noct ()
Diplodus omanensis
Diplodus prayensis ()
Diplodus puntazzo () Sarago pizzuto
Diplodus sargus ()
Diplodus sargus ascensionis ()
Diplodus sargus cadenati
Diplodus sargus helenae ()
Diplodus sargus kotschyi ()
Diplodus sargus lineatus ()
Diplodus sargus sargus () Sarago maggiore, Sarago reale
Diplodus vulgaris () Sarago fasciato, Sarago testanera

Specie affini sono la tanuta (Spondyliosoma cantharus), detta anche sarago bastardo, e l'occhiata (Oblada melanura).

Pesca
È preda ambita dei pescatori in quanto la carne è deliziosa. Si pesca da terra e in barca con canna e mulinello, ma è anche preda, non sempre facile, dei pescatori in apnea.

Il sarago più grande mai registrato pesava 6,2 kg e fu catturato in Spagna. L'esemplare apparteneva alla specie Diplodus puntazzo e fu avvistato alla profondità di 8 metri.

ragons are mythical (?) creatures that appear in many different cultures and time periods. Dragons have been described as monsters, serpents, reptiles, or beasts.
The dragon is the great, great grandfather of all monsters.
Before the daemon, before the vampire, before the werewolf, before the giant. Before them all was the original uber-monster the dragon.
The dragon's image has crawled across cave paintings 25,000 years old, dwarfing mammoths. It has slithered across Chinese rock art in Shanxi province 8000 years before Christ.
There is something magical about dragons that has kept our intrigue over many centuries.
Almost all dragon stories portray the dragon as the villain from whom the hero must protect the city or the princess. But some dragons can take on the form of the protector. The biggest differences in dragons usually come from different cultures, especially the cultures of the East and the West. Each culture seems to have their own idea about dragons.
Dragons cannot be put all into one group, as there are so many dragons. Each culture seems to have their own type of dragon, and each of these dragons is usually very different. Some people have said that dragons once existed, maybe during the time of the dinosaurs. Others believe that dragons began around the same time the earth began. A few people even claim to have seen a dragon in their life time.
Dragons have often been used in art work. Pictures or sculptures of dragons seem mysterious and magical. Fashion has found style in these magical creatures, especially in the Eastern dragons.

TORONTO, June 21 /CNW/ – Vital Alert Communication Inc. has been awarded an Industrial Research Assistance Program ("I.R.A.P.") grant from the National Research Council of Canada. The grant will be used to fund research and prototype development for a portable version of Vital Alert's very low frequency, through-the-earth communications system, which is designed for use in mines, subways, tunnels, and other underground environments.
"Our system does not have cables or a complex mesh of communications nodes, so it is more likely to survive a significant explosion, earthquake, rockslide, or other natural or manmade disaster. First responders, mine managers, and safety regulators tell us that a portable, survivable communications system would be very valuable in the event of an emergency," said Heather Simmons, CEO.

The university continues to be a reflection of the world around it.
What is its impact on campus today?
When freshman Chantal Gainous first set foot on Loyola's campus, she instantly knew that diversity was more than just a buzzword for the university.
"It was almost a culture shock for me when I saw the campus makeup with all of the different nationalities," she says.
That reaction is one that Loyola is happy to hear, particularly because the university has continued to place emphasis on creating a diverse atmosphere—not for the sake of appearances, but for the benefits it provides to the educational experience.
Loyola is not alone in that thinking. Creating a diverse atmosphere on campus is not a new concept, but one that has continued to gain importance with universities over the years. What perhaps once began as an outgrowth of non-discrimination and affirmative action policies has evolved into a greater appreciation for what people of different genders, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds can bring to the table. This is especially true in higher education.
Students themselves can attest to that fact.
"Having a diverse campus takes you out of your framework and forces you to broaden your horizons," says senior Thomas Wise.
Loyola faculty members agree, in part because having a diverse mix of students, as well as faculty and staff, opens new avenues for conversation.
Of course, conversations can sometimes lead to disagreements, but that in itself teaches students to respect differences of opinions—a useful skill in the working world.
"Loyola is good preparation for social interaction in the real world. We learn how to respectfully disagree with someone," notes Wise.
"Different opinions are welcomed, and students are encouraged to make their cases for their arguments," adds senior Leta Davis.
But perhaps most importantly, diversity on campus allows students the freedom to be who they are without persecution.
"People aren't afraid to be themselves here," comments freshman Andrew Ketcham.
How a university achieves and maintains diversity can be as important as the issue itself. Some places might view students in terms of quotas to fill, but Loyola takes a different approach in its recruiting process.
Though the Office of Admissions makes a special effort to recruit from all over the United States and internationally to ensure geographic and cultural diversity, the focus on who the students are as individuals is never lost.
"When recruiting new students, we see people rather than check-boxes," notes Keith Gramling, director of Admissions.
That is an important distinction for a university to make. While touting impressive numbers in terms of diversity might earn you recognition, creating diversity simply for bragging rights, especially when there is no real interaction among students, doesn't fit in with Loyola's Jesuit mission and sense of an all-inclusive community.
And the truth is always revealed when coming to campus, which sometimes surprises visitors.
Indeed, once students arrive on campus, they quickly realize that diversity is simply a part of campus culture, due in part to the various student organizations that both embrace and promote our differences. Organizations such as the Black Student Union, International Student Association, Loyola Asian Student Organization, Muslim Students Association, Organization of Latin American Students, Queer Straight Student Alliance, and the Wolfpack Diversity Team actively sponsor events each semester to promote diversity on campus.
Diversity has become ingrained at Loyola on the academic level as well as the social. The Center for Intercultural Understanding was established several years ago "to create and maintain a campus environment where students, faculty, and staff will be able to recognize, respect, and celebrate our differences and commonalities" through programming, services, advocacy, research, and curriculum transformation.
Curriculum transformation is particularly important since there will be a diversity requirement as part of the new Common Curriculum that will be launching in fall 2013. However, rather than force diversity on students, courses will begin to increase students' awareness and understanding of the diverse world in which they live.
"We hope to open students to new worlds and cultures, especially from the Jesuit point of view," notes Quesada, who is part of the work group for the diversity requirement.
Loyola earned the distinction as the best university in the nation for "Lots of Race/Class Interaction" by The Princeton Review's 2012 edition of its annual college guide, The Best 376 Colleges. The university took the top spot in the "Lots of Race/Class Interaction" category after placing fourth in last year's guide.
Loyola's numbers also paint a welcoming picture. For undergraduate students, 42 percent are male, and 58 percent are female; ethnic minorities represent 35.3 percent of the student body; 45 percent are from out of state; 49 states (including Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) are represented; 4 percent are international students; and 47 countries are represented.
Obviously, the university is doing something right.
In addition to its appealing social and academic components, the fact that Loyola continues to attract such a diverse student body is not that surprising considering the city in which it resides. After all, New Orleans is a city known for its unique blend of cultures and influences.
Students often find New Orleans' diverse atmosphere contagious.
In fact, some students even use New Orleans food as an example of their feelings on the subject.
"I think of Loyola like a pot of gumbo. All of these different ingredients come together to make an amazing soup," says sophomore Sara Rodriguez.
But regardless of the reasons, all feel that Loyola is a place where they belong.
"The message we send is that you are welcome here," says Wise.
That's the impact diversity has.
