Chris Dombrowski talks with Sarah Aronson about 'Body of Water: A Sage, A Seeker, and the World's Most Alluring Fish,' which is part memoir, part reportage.
Chris Dombrowski was playing a numbers game: two passions — poetry and fly-fishing; one child, with another on the way; and an income hovering perilously close to zero. Enter, at this particularly challenging moment, a miraculous email: Can't go, it's all paid for, just book a flight to Miami. Thus began a journey that would lead to the Bahamas and to David Pinder, a legendary bonefishing guide.
Bonefish are prized for their elusiveness and their tenacity. And no one was better at hunting them than Pinder, a Bahamian whose accuracy and intuition were virtuosic. He knows what the fish think, said one fisherman, before they think it.
By the time Dombrowski meets Pinder, however, he has been abandoned by the industry he helped build. With cataracts from a lifetime of staring at the water and a tiny severance package after forty years of service, he watches as the world of his beloved bonefish is degraded by tourists he himself did so much to attract. But as Pinder's stories unfold, Dombrowski discovers a profound integrity and wisdom in the guide's life. Body of Water: A Sage, A Seeker, and the World's Most Alluring Fish relates that found integrity and wisdom in Dombrowski's poetic style.
Chris Dombrowski is the author of Body of Water: A Sage, A Seeker, and the World's Most Alluring Fish, as well as two acclaimed collections of poems. Also a fly-fishing guide, Dombrowski lives in Missoula, Montana.
Joe Wilkins talks about the poems in his collection 'When We Were Birds' and reads a few of the poems and an essay.
In When We Were Birds, Joe Wilkins wrests his attention away from the griefs, deprivations, and high prairies of his Montana childhood and turns toward "the bean-rusted fields & gutted factories of the Midwest," toward ordinary injustice and everyday sadness, toward the imminent birth of his son and his own confusions in taking up the mantle of fatherhood, toward faith and grace, legacy and luck.
The characters in Spells for Victory and Courage, winner of the Brighthorse Prize for Short Fiction, search for love and belonging in all the broken places. A teenage girl takes care of her ex-jockey father. A retired professor befriends the local shepherd. A carnival clown picks a fight with the wrong customer.
Poetry reminds me of beer. More specifically it reminds me of Cold Smoke, a favorite of Missoula brew enthusiasts. I always pick up the cold pint glass thinking this will be the time I finally gain appreciation for the dark ale that my friends consume generously on our nightly excursions. However, my response is found to be the same puckering of lips and slight crinkling of my nose in an unattractive grimace, immediately followed by a mouthful of my usual vodka-cran to wash down the taste of the dark ale.
At twenty years old, Pete Fromm heard of a job babysitting salmon eggs, seven winter months alone in a tent in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Leaping at this chance to be a mountain man, with no experience in the wilds, he left the world. Thirteen years later, he published his beloved memoir of that winter, "Indian Creek Chronicles" —"Into the Wild" with a twist.
Ken Ilgunas talks about his adventures while hiking nearly 2,000 miles along the proposed route of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
In September 2012, Ken Ilgunas stuck out his thumb in Denver, Colorado, and hitchhiked 1,500 miles north to the Alberta tar sands. After being duly appalled, he commenced to walk nearly 2,000 miles, (mostly) following the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast.

How Many People are On Facebook 2019
— Total Facebook Users
How Many People Are On Facebook - "We're reaching a size where it's worth really taking a mindful take a look at exactly what are all the things that we can do to earn social media one of the most favorable force for good feasible," Facebook Principal Item Policeman Chris Cox told TechCrunch regarding the company's brand-new milestone. Thirteen years after launching as well as less than five years after hitting 1 billion, Facebook currently has 2 billion regular monthly active customers.
How Many People Are On Facebook
Facebook wants people to celebrate with a personalized "Great Adds Up" video they could make and also share right here. At The Same Time, Mark Zuckerberg played it trendy with this short news message.
Two billion makes Facebook the biggest social application in terms of logged-in individuals, above YouTube's 1.5 billion, WeChat's 889 million, Twitter's 328 million as well as Snapchat's estimated 255 million (extrapolated from its December 2015 proportion when it had 110 million day-to-day as well as 170 million month-to-month customers). Beyond YouTube, only Facebook's various other apps have more than 1 billion, including WhatsApp and also Facebook Messenger, with 1.2 billion each. Instagram might soon join that club as it lately soared past 700 million.
Facebook's growth the last fifty percent decade has been sustained by the developing world. The firm has relentlessly optimized its application for economical Android smart devices as well as low-bandwidth connections. It's included 746 million individuals in Asia et cetera of World area since hitting 1 billion individuals complete. At the same time, it just added 41 million in the U.S. and also Canada.
Despite Facebook's dimension and age, at 17 percent its individual matter is expanding as rapid or quicker than any year because 2012. And people typically aren't using it less either. Actually, 66 percent of Facebook's month-to-month individuals return each day now compared to 55 percent when it hit 1 billion. If the teenaged social network isn't really as trendy to teens any more, it's disappointing in the large metrics.
However neither does the enormous influence Facebook has actually carried society, which it's now trying to bend toward positivity with its brand-new goal declaration to "Give individuals the power to build area and also bring the globe closer with each other."
"There's certainly a deep feeling of responsibility in every part of the firm," Cox informed TechCrunch. "We're getting to the scale where we have to get much better about comprehending how the item has actually been made use of." That's why he's been circumnavigating the globe doing customer research. And it's why Mark Zuckerberg has been crisscrossing the nation on a paying attention tour that lots of people cynically think is the start to a run for president, regardless of the Chief Executive Officer's denials.
Possibly stewarding a 2-billion-person community is duty sufficient to obtain out of Silicon Valley and also determine exactly how Facebook influences people's lives.
There are the large, newsy points like suicides on Facebook Live as well as is afraid that phony information obtained Donald Trump elected. Yet deeper down, there are a lot more complicated implications of a close to common social network. It can move internet addiction that pushes away people, as well as facilitate the filter bubbles that polarize society by reinforcing our viewpoints. Facebook has largely overcome its rivals, giving it the slack to lastly attend to the contemporary sociological difficulties that come from its appeal.
Cox claims a crucial pattern Facebook is adopting is "When you think of really complicated systems that are influencing humanity, simply being open regarding exactly what's occurring. And then as an example in the case of something like suicide or intimidation, going and working with topic experts, obtaining the study on what's the most effective possible thing that we can do, and then talking to the world regarding it." To earn the discussion about these tragic moments as easily accessible and also productive as possible, Facebook has actually taken to releasing openness reports as well as explainers about its plans and also procedures.
"I deal with the continuous objective of understanding, for each single thing that we do, how do we maximize all that benefits, and cut any way that it can be mistreated or become something depressing" Cox solemnly wraps up.
If getting to 1 billion was about building a product, as well as reaching 2 billion had to do with developing an individual base, Facebook's responsibility is to develop compassion between us as it reaches for 3 billion.

Robert Bresson's donkey show Au Hasard Balthazar is an exercise in abuse and humiliation. Unlike most donkey shows, though, there's plenty of beauty here, too. Telling the parallel stories of a teenage French girl and the donkey she raises from a foal, both animal and human protagonists are seemingly made to suffer, but through their suffering, they gain some semblance of grace.
At the outset, farm girl Marie (Anne Wiazemsky) is depicted as in love with an adorable baby donkey, which she names Balthazar. She even baptizes him as a full member of her family, which includes her father as a novice farmer. As Marie gets older, she's presented with two romantic options. Jacques (Walter Green) is an obsequious childhood friend, comforting but staid, while Gerard (Francois Lafarge) is the local ne'er do well and chief of a gang of toughs. A dispute between Marie's father and Jacques's parents over land rights pushes Marie towards the cruel Gerard, who is indifferent towards his new girlfriend, and abusive towards Balthazar, who he uses to carry bread in his job. As Marie falls in deeper with Gerard, her father is forced to sell the donkey, sending him on a series of mini-adventures while his original owner is left to fend for herself.
As an introduction to Bresson's work, the first thing that jumps out in Au Hasard Balthazar is how deeply Catholic its philosophy is. Neither Marie nor Balthazar can catch a break, with her playing the part of the prodigal daughter and he in the role of Job. Their suffering through neglect and abuse is depicted as their lot in life, and they must bear it before exaltation in the next, becoming completely debased in the process. Together, they're the embodiment of the parable of the poor man sitting in heaven, while the rich man is tormented in hell. This kind of dynamic, where suffering is the path to paradise, is ultimately unappealing, but Bresson's depiction of it is somehow uplifting. He's able to convey that a heaven exists in this world, one with room for humans and beasts of burden.
The downside to this approach is that Marie is left as a fairly blank character, passive and reacting to the whims of those around her for the bulk of the film. However, supporting characters are more lively, particularly Gerard, who jumps furthest out of the film. Lafarge's childishly cruel visage makes Gerard a hateful character from his introduction playing dangerous pranks on drivers. Coddled by a relative at his job who overlooks lateness and theft, he strides through the film with dull entitlement, the polar opposite of Marie's passivity. In his more despicable moments, he turns Marie's love for Balthazar against the animal, violently beating him after watching Marie tenderly place a crown of flowers on his head. A schoolyard bully in a man's body, he cannot let anyone enjoy a pleasant moment, and his presence lingers over the film. When he's eventually stuck in hell, Marie would be right to not give him a drop of water to wet his lips from her perch in heaven.
As animal performances go, the donkey or donkeys playing Balthazar turns in a memorable one. There seems to be inflection and intonation behind his well-timed (possible ADR'd) brays. Something's happening behind his eyes, which Bresson is sure to catch in close-up. An interlude at a circus stands out, as Bresson films Balthazar scanning the different animals, locking eyes with grander beasts in the same state of captivity that he is, sharing something in their misery. Other sequences seem to transcend filmmaking techniques, transporting the viewer directly into the world. While pulling a grain cart, Balthazar picks up speed, while Bresson adds more cuts between animal, driver, wheel, and axle. Suddenly, he's broken loose, galloping down the road and back to Marie. While the journey isn't depicted, it's easy to imagine Balthazar making it, stopping to eat some clover and being spooked by a car horn. While Bresson gives Balthazar something like an inner life, it's not an anthropomorphized portrayal, avoiding the cutesiness other filmmakers might indulge in.

Can bats 'tell us' when and where Ebola will strike next?
New research suggests that we might be able to foresee when and where the next Ebola outbreak will occur if we take a close look at the migratory patterns of bats.
Knowing when and where bats migrate might tell us where the next Ebola outbreak will occur.
Ebola is a highly fatal and highly infectious virus that was first discovered in West Africa in 1976. Fruit bats are thought to be the virus's natural host.
While most deadly outbreaks have originated in African countries, the last Ebola crisis — which occurred between 2014 and 2016 — spread to the rest of the world including the United States.
In the U.S., four cases were registered, one of which resulted in death.
In this context, predicting the time and location of the next Ebola outbreak may prove particularly useful for preventing it. This is why researchers set out to create a modeling framework that may help us to foresee such an event in the future.
The new study was carried out by Javier Buceta, an associate professor of bioengineering, Paolo Bocchini, who is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, and postdoctoral researcher Graziano Fiorillo — all of whom are affiliated with the Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.
They hypothesized that, since bats are the carriers of the virus, tracking down their migratory patterns may help to create a predictive framework.
The results of their research were published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Creating a mathematical model of Ebola
To create the framework, Buceta and team used satellite information and parameter sampling. The researchers fed this information into a computer algorithm, or model, which was created to predict the conditions in which the bats' behavior correlates with Ebola outbreaks.
The data fed into the algorithm included the bats' natality and mortality rates, the rate at which they got infected with the virus, and how long it took them to recover.
Also, to predict peaks of bat infections in a particular region, the model included information about when and where the bats migrated, seasonal changes, and food and shelter availability.
The researchers also had to factor in environmental information; to this end, they used the Google Earth Engine to retrieve information from one of NASA's databases.
Bocchini details the procedures they used, saying, "We needed to study the random fluctuations of available resources over the entire African continent at high resolution; it was a massive computational and probabilistic challenge."
"We recognized that from a mathematical point of view," he continues, "the problem is similar to the random propagation of seismic waves in a region subject to earthquakes, and we could adapt our tools."
After accounting for things such as humidity and temperature, the researchers were able to "then predict the concentration of infected bats one might expect to find given those particular conditions," explains Buceta.
Model accurately predicts Ebola outbreak
The 2014–2016 Ebola epidemic started with the case of a 2-year-old child in Meliandou, a village in Guinea, West Africa.
However, the strain of the virus that infected the child had its origins in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is thousands of miles away from Meliandou.
Using the framework designed by Buceta and team, the researchers were able to "retroactively" predict a "peak of infection at Meliandou […] during the months when the outbreak started." They deemed their findings "remarkable."
However, when the team applied similar data from a different location — which was 400 kilometers away from Meliandou and had a different climate — the results did not show an infection peak during that period.
"In our model," Buceta goes on to say, "the appearance of outbreaks is tightly linked to fluctuations in environmental conditions which have an impact on both bat migration patterns and infection rates."
"Such findings," he adds, "strongly suggest that environmental factors play a key role in the spread of the Ebola virus among bats."
The scientists hope that their model will help to predict and prevent not only Ebola outbreaks, but also those of other viruses that are transmitted from animals to humans.

"Baazaar" is a pioneering movie of its kind that blends Hindi film sensibilities with a crisp storytelling of intrigue and betrayals set against the arena of India's leading financial institution. (photo provided)
'Baazaar' Review: Gripping Thriller with Superb Performances
R.M. VIJAYAKAR, Special to India-West
Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Emmay Entertainment & Kyta Productions present "Baazaar"
Produced by: Dheeraj Wadhawan, Ajay Kapoor, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani & Nikkhil Advani
Directed by: Gauravv K. Chawla
Written by: Perveez Sheikh & Aseem Arora
Music: Yo Yo Honey Singh, Bilal Saeed, Kanika Kapoor, Tanishk Bagchi & Sohail Sen
Starring: Saif Ali Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Radhika Apte, Rohan Mehra, Sonia Balani, Pawan Chopra, Abhishek Gupta, Vikram Kapadia, Utkarsh Mazumdar, Danish Hussain, Sahil Sangha, Manish Chaudhari, Denzil Smith, Sai Gundewar, Sp. App.: Elli Avram & others
MUMBAI— A small-town and ambition-filled dude is raring to reach high in life. His name is Rizwan Ahmed (Rohan Mehra), and he will never settle for the mundane life his father (Pawan Chopra) has been leading as a loyal employee for 25 years. Against his dad's wishes, he comes to make it big in Mumbai, his ideal being Shakun Kothari (Saif Ali Khan), a semi-educated whizkid from Surat married to Mandira (Chitrangda Singh), who has made a mark with his rapid rise in the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) with his ingenious moves, fair or foul.
Rizwan first operates from a broking company, befriending the ambitious Priya (Radhika Apte) by default and impressing the boss (Denzil Smith). Beginner's luck helps and soon he meets his idol and faces a challenge from him. As he succeeds in meeting it, Shakun offers him a position.
Well-settled now, Rizwan, on Shakun's advice, goes back to visit his family and a marriage is arranged for his very affectionate and supportive sister Aamna (Sonia Balani). At Shakun's and Mandira's insistence, the ceremony will be held in Mumbai and co-hosted by them.
A parallel track sees SEBI (Stock Exchange Board of India) investigator Rana (Manish Chaudhuri) investigating the crooked deals of Shakun, fruitlessly for eight years. And being Shakun's associate now, Rizwan also comes in the line of fire.
The film is a taut thriller, and but for the complex discussions and mention of stocks, shares, and casual discussions of crores and market jargon, would have been a human-centric gripping story of greed, manipulation, and principles (or lack of them). Using Rizwan's unalloyed ambitiousness, and Shakun's daredevil unscrupulousness as a backdrop, the writers and new director Gauravv K. Chawla use the BSE milieu to spin a riveting story of how far one should go in fulfilling one's dreams, and whether the journey to that destination is finally worth what one loses on the way – from morals to relationships.
A lot of the film is told in flashback, after the opening sequence in which Rizwan is set to commit suicide by jumping off a high-rise in despair.
That "Baazaar" is a pioneering movie of its kind that blends Hindi film sensibilities with a crisp storytelling of intrigue and betrayals set against the arena of India's leading financial institution is obvious. Writers Sheikh and Arora (his lines are plain fabulous and crisp) and director Chawla create a deft and dangerous world, and then pull you, heavily involved, into it. The marriage sequence of Aamna, the initial scene at the Jain religious venue, the train sequence and the Shakun-Rizwan confrontation are where the writers and director score highest.
And is there a pure soul in this mélange of scruple-free investors, politicians and related characters? Apart from Rizwan's sister, father, and bro-in-law, that is, who are from Allahabad? To be sure, there is, and that person finally decides the future for both Shakun and Rizwan!
At 140 minutes, the film does not let go, though perhaps editors Maahir Zaveri and Arjun Srivastava do get a shade lax in parts of the second half. The technical side is above-average, and mention must be made of John Stewart Eduri's background score.
If there is one BIG grouse, it is the usual 'today' one: the music, other than "Kem Chho" that is. Think for a moment: Rizwan is from Allahabad, Shakun and his family from Gujarat, Priya is raised in Mumbai, also the place where it all happens. AND the music is Punjabi-heavy! Forget the fact that it is not memorable at all, why could not the score be at least authentic for the subject?
But "Baazaar" apart from his high-class production values, is powered by its performers. Saif Ali Khan, inarguably, delivers the finest performance of his career, which going by his past high standards, is indeed pretty colossal. We have never had a truly top hero after Sanjeev Kumar from Gujarat, but we do not think any other present Gujarati actor would have been as believable and completely into the Surat-Mumbai-BSE ethos as he is. His entry is magnificent, and so are his climactic and post-climactic sequences. Watch every aspect – his eyes, when they choose to meet, the perfect accent, the body language, that mischievous smile that can be full of foreboding too, those sudden bouts of temper, the chilled-out countenance in adversity: Saif is indeed "mindblowing" in his impact.
Giving him fitting company and contrast is Rohan Mehra: the late Vinod Mehra would have been proud of his son, who exudes a rare promise and much more for a debutant. His final scenes are even more special. Radhika Apte is charming again, with a longer and well fleshed-out role than in many of her recent outings. Chitrangda Singh's character is very downplayed, but the role demands that. She is, overall, effective, especially in the second half. Sonia Balani is fabulous as Rizwan's sister. From the support, every actor or actress is well-cast.
This may not be a film for the masses, but the filmmakers and its cast and crew deserve to be proud of themselves. Hopefully, in an era where good commercial cinema makes decent money, so will this film.

Massive fire causes interstate overpass to collapse in Atlanta
WGCL
<p>**Embargo: Atlanta, GA** A section of US Interstate 85 in north Atlanta collapsed Thursday after a massive fire, local officials confirmed.</p>
A massive fireball collapsed a portion of Interstate 85 in Atlanta, sending motorists driving through billowing black smoke before the city shut down that section of the highway indefinitely.
The fire started underneath part of the highway on Thursday evening. At about 7 p.m., an elevated section of the northbound interstate collapsed, forcing frantic motorists to seek alternative routes.
PHOTOS: Massive fire causes overpass to collapse on Atlanta interstate
An estimated 250,000 cars per day drive through that stretch of the interstate -- a major thoroughfare for traffic heading north and south through Atlanta.
While the highway is normally jammed with cars around that time, there were no fatalities, Mayor Kasim Reed said.

Surreal scenes
Social media users posted surreal images showing drivers vanishing into the black smoke on the highway as the fire burned beneath them.
CNN's Eliott C. McLaughlin was driving north on I-85 during evening rush hour when he saw smoke rising from underneath the elevated highway.
Many cars on the left side of the five-lane section barreled through the thick black smoke. They disappeared into the darkness as they drove, he said.
McLaughlin slowly followed the taillights of an SUV through the smoke.
Cortez Stafford, a spokesman with the Atlanta Fire Department, said the blaze was massive.
"There was a 40-feet or higher wall of fire. Power lines were falling and arcing heavily and falling in the streets," Stafford told CNN.
As concrete began falling from under the bridge, firefighters were asked to step back, Stafford said. "Not even two minutes later, the highway fell with a big 'kaboom.' (It) knocked our guys back."
Interstate traffic was stopped and turned around, creating jams that extended 5 miles or more. While that's not long by Atlanta standards, many drivers were stuck in the area for hours.
What caused the collapse?
As word of the incident spread, so did the speculation.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed did not provide details on what caused the collapse, but said it is not linked to terrorism and an investigation is underway.
"We've spoken to the special agent in charge of FBI, there is no evidence this is related to terrorism," he said Thursday night.
Gov. Nathan Deal said he heard speculation it was caused by some "PVC products that caught fire."
In an unusual move, two fire trucks from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in south Atlanta rushed to the scene and sprayed foam on the fallen section and flames.
'It's going to take some time'
Authorities worked through the night to access the bridge and ensure the risks from the collapse are contained.
"There is a possibility you could have a further collapse," Reed said. "We still have personnel at the sight making sure there is no hotspots. We won't know the area of vulnerability for the bridge until tomorrow."
All five lanes of the highway in each direction will be closed for the foreseeable future, officials said.
That prospect sent shudders through metro Atlanta commuters, who already contend with heavy traffic.
Officials scrambled to come up with alternate routes and encouraged commuters to use public transit.
Transportation authorities are trying to put together a traffic and detour plan for drivers.
Deal told reporters the company that originally built the elevated highway would assess the damage.
"It's going to take some time to get it repaired and to get it back in service," he said, without offering a time frame for reopening.
Not business as usual
MARTA, Atlanta's rail and bus system, will offer extended service through the weekend.
One school district, in nearby DeKalb County, canceled classes for Friday. Schools in Atlanta will be open, Reed said, and city and state offices won't open until 10 a.m.
The collapse happened at a crucial time. The Atlanta Braves will play the Yankees at a 7:35 p.m. home game, and next week is spring break for many schools in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Weeks of repair ahead
Reginald DesRoches, a professor at Georgia Tech, said most structural materials lose strength when subjected to high temperature, meaning the concrete could have been compromised by the heat.
He said it is too early to say how long it will take to repair the highway.
"It certainly can take anywhere from several weeks to several months," he said. "The surrounding sections of the highway will be evaluated to determine if any damage was sustained from the heat. It is probably prudent to check both sides of the adjacent sections (northbound and south bound)."

South Africa : Covid deaths remain low in South Africa as positivity rate spikes
South Africa has reported a rapid increase in new Covid-19 cases over the last week – however, the number of reported deaths remains relatively low.
South Africa's daily coronavirus test positivity rate neared a record on Saturday (7 May), rising above 30% for the first time in almost five months as two sublineages of the omicron variant spread rapidly ahead of the nation's winter season.
On Sunday, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) reported 5,486 new cases with 21,692 tests conducted. This increase represents a 25.3% positivity rate. However, only seven deaths were reported, five of which occurred in the past 24 – 48 hours. This is in line with other reporting this week where deaths have remained below double-digits.
Despite this rapid increase in cases the country will not need to reintroduce lockdown restrictions, health and social security expert Professor Alex van den Heever told the City Press.
He pointed to the fact that South Africa follows a clear trend of increasing cases around July and December, with a combination of prior infections and vaccinations providing sufficient immunity for the population.
"The waves consistently peak at the national level in July and December. Only the provincial starting point varies. There will be no need for going into a lockdown. Prior infections and vaccinations appear sufficient to prevent severe illness at a population level. This is likely to be the pattern indefinitely."
This was echoed by Professor Mosa Moshabela, associate professor and deputy vice-chancellor of research and innovation at UKZN.
"I think the biggest burden is gonna be on us as South Africans. Most people are going to have infections that won't end up in hospital but they could have long covid, making it difficult for people to go to work and it may end up spreading to people with vulnerabilities," he told eNCA.
"I think we have to take it upon ourselves to protect those among us who are vulnerable and avoid the burden of long covid and other complications of Covid."

The limits come in response to viral hemorrhagic septicemia outbreaks.
The USDA's Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service announced an emergency order Tuesday banning the import of certain species of live fish from Ontario and Quebec and the interstate movement of those same fish in the Great Lakes region. The order comes in response to viral hemorrhagic septicemia outbreaks.
VHS is spreading rapidly in the Great Lakes region and poses a potentially serious problem for a growing number of species of fish. Several outbreaks of the disease occurred in the Great Lakes in 2006, killing many Yellow Perch, Walleye, Freshwater Drum, and other species. VHS is a viral disease that can cause internal hemorrhaging and death in fish.
The APHIS measure prohibits the movement of certain live fish species out of any states bordering the Great Lakes and the import of the same species from Ontario and Quebec.
As more species of fish become potentially susceptible, the list of affected species will be updated. For a list of fish included in the order and more information about VHS, see www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/aqua.

The first wave of migrants from the Central American caravan has arrived in the Mexican city of Tijuana — about 80 members of the LGBT community, some of whom were seen scaling a fence along the coastal border community.
They split off from the larger group of more than 3,600 migrants in Mexico City after what Honduran migrant Cesar Mejia told reporters was weeks of discriminatory treatment by locals and other travelers, according to NPR.
Several people jumped or crawled through openings in the fence onto US soil Sunday but quickly ran back when Border Patrol agents approached, Fox 5 San Diego reported.
Whenever we arrived at a stopping point, the LGBT community was the last to be taken into account in every way. So our goal was to change that and say, 'This time we are going to be first,' " Mejia said.
The group in Tijuana included Hondurans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans and Salvadorans, including transgender men and women, and also several children.
Most plan to use their status as members of a persecuted class to request asylum in the United States as early as Thursday, the news outlet reported.

An institutional investor was diluting the Company's shares after its July 12, 2021 update to investors detailing the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Camber, investors suffered damages.

Karabela (Cairabela, Caravela) ist eine osttimoresische Siedlung im Suco Vemasse (Verwaltungsamt Vemasse, Gemeinde Baucau).

Geographie und Einrichtungen
Das Dorf Karabela liegt in einer Meereshöhe von  in der Nordostecke der Aldeia Lor, an der Straße von Wetar. Die nördliche Küstenstraße, einer der wichtigsten Verkehrswege des Landes, führt an dem Ort vorbei. Westlich des Ortes überquert sie mit der Brücke Ponte Karabela den Fluss Manuleiden in Richtung Vemasse und die Landeshauptstadt Dili. Nach Osten führt sie etwas landeinwärts in den Nachbarort Uailacama (Aldeia Raha) und weiter in die Gemeindehauptstadt Baucau, während eine kleinere Straße entlang der Küste zum Ort Uaicuha (Suco Bucoli) geht.

Karabela verfügt über eine Grundschule, eine katholische Kirche, einen Friedhof und ein Wassertank. Der Pier mit Anlegestelle für Fähren wird vor allem von Fischerbooten verwendet. Man plant hier den Fährverkehr mit Dili und Baucau wieder aufzunehmen und einen Stützpunkt der Marinepolizei zu errichten. Der Pier steht unter der Aufsicht der Administrasaun Autoridade Porturiu Timor-Leste (APORTIL).

Geschichte

Nachdem Gerüchte aufkamen, dass die indonesischen Invasoren am 11. Dezember 1975 zehn Zivilisten in Karabela ermordet hätten, floh die Bevölkerung aus Vemasse zunächst zum Berg Lame, am Südrand des Ortes, wo man einfache Baracken errichtete. Dort schlossen sich ihnen Einwohner von Karabela und Bucoli an. Die Bevölkerung konnte zu ihren Ackerflächen zur Ernte zurückkehren, da die Indonesier keine Besatzungstruppen in Vemasse zurückgelassen hatten. So konnten sich die Flüchtlinge mit genügend Nahrungsmittel versorgen, doch in der Mitte vom März 1976 griffen die Indonesier das Flüchtlingslager mit Panzerfäusten und Mörsern an und zerstörten sowohl die Hütten als auch das Nahrungsmittellager. Die Einwohner flohen entlang des Rio Vemasse acht Kilometer weiter nach Süden, nach Uaigae, wo sie wieder Gärten zur Selbstversorgung anlegten. Doch als die Kämpfe näher kamen, mussten sie erneut fliehen, bis sie schließlich in Uai-Mori (heute Suco Bibileo, 20 km südlich von Vemasse), im Schutz der FRETILIN, erneut Zuflucht fanden. Hier entstand eine base de apoio, eine Widerstandsbasis. Zusammen mit Flüchtlingen aus Dili, Viqueque und anderen Landesteilen lebten sie zwei Jahre hier. Mit der Zeit kam es immer mehr zur Nahrungsmittelknappheit, da immer mehr Menschen eintrafen. 1978 wurde auch Uai-Mori von indonesischen Streitkräften angegriffen. Die meisten Einwohner flohen, einige wurden von den Indonesiern gefangen genommen und in das Sammellager von Bucoli gebracht.

Am 26. September 1999 landeten US-amerikanische und neuseeländische Soldaten der Internationalen Streitkräfte Osttimor (INTERFET) mit Hubschraubern in Karabela, um die Hafenanlagen für mögliche Hilfslieferungen zu prüfen. Kurz nach der Ankunft tauchten etwa 15 Einheimische auf, die mit Macheten bewaffnet waren. Sie zogen sich aber schnell wieder zurück. Die damaligen Gebäude und der Pier wurden als geeignet bewertet. Später zerfielen die Gebäude weitgehend.

Livedrive Axial Direct-Drive Motor
Livedrive Radial Direct-Drive Motor
Reflex Gear System
Genesis at iREX 2019
Genesis Robotics and Motion Technologies attended iREX 2019, from 18-23 Dec in Tokyo, Japan, presenting the company's latest advances in direct drive motor technology and gearing solutions for real-world robotic applications.
The Genesis booth made a deliberate approach to demonstrate how their technology can benefit potential customer's designs and processes, making them more efficient and profitable.
LiveDrive® Motors are designed to provide extremely high torque in a compact and light weight form factor. They specialize in high acceleration and deceleration with increased peak torque capacity and low inertia. This enhanced performance equips LiveDrive® motors to provide direct drive solutions, removing the need for traditional gear and belt transmissions, simplifying actuator designs, while dramatically improving reliability, productivity and reducing the total cost of ownership.
In addition, the revolutionary Genesis Reflex Torque Amplifier Gearbox was displayed – a unique design that can deliver the same torque as conventional gearboxes at a fraction of the weight. Made of injection moldable high-performance plastic, the Reflex reduces the weight of robot joints and delivers backdriveable solutions for applications such as workplace robots that can be utilized in smaller businesses and commercial enterprises.
We are seeing the coming of age of our technologies.
Chris Di Lello, CEO Genesis Robotics and Motion Technologies
"Reducing the size and weight of key components within a robot is key to realizing a wide range of benefits," said James Klassen, CTO at Genesis Robotics. "The Reflex gearbox, for example, has no planet carrier and no bearings, is extremely lightweight and low inertia. Because it's made of injection moldable high-performance plastic, this allows for the development of high-performance robots that are lightweight and manufacturable."
Chris DiLello, CEO at Genesis Robotics added, "We are seeing the coming of age of our technologies, moving closer and closer, in collaboration with our partners, to commercial applications that will revolutionize the way robots are deployed in both the industrial and domestic environments."
Visitors to the booth also experienced firsthand the Genesis Double Helix, a completely different approach to gearing that demonstrates the forward thinking nature of Genesis' approach. The prototype highlights the potential to deliver higher speeds, increased stiffness and smooth backdriveability – adding up to a much more productive robot.
Genesis thanks all its guests and industry partners for their strong interest and presence at iREX 2019.
