Conservative pundit Michelle Malkin appeared on SiriusXM Patriot's Breitbart News Daily, where she exposed a "secret" program run by the Federal Reserve that helps illegal aliens wire money back home.
Malkin disclosed that while she was working on a section of her new book called, "Banking on Illegals," she uncovered a program run by the Federal Reserve that helps illegal aliens send remittances (payments) back to Mexico or other home base countries.

Malkin went on to say that the program is "specifically marketed to illegal aliens in America."
Yes, the government is actually marketing services to criminals – and in doing this, the Federal Reserve is aiding and abetting illegal aliens and should be shut down immediately.
Malkin is calling on President Trump to keep his promise to either tax remittances sky high, or end the practice all together.
According to Malkin, Judicial Watch has been suing to obtain information on the Federal Reserve program, that goes under name "Directo a Mexico."
The Feds are reportedly using our tax dollars to market this program to illegal aliens.

This is treason.
Columnist Michelle Malkin is calling on President Trump to "shut down" a Federal Reserve program that profits off remittances sent to foreign countries by illegal aliens.
During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot's Breitbart News Daily, Malkin detailed how the Federal Reserve actually aids illegal aliens living in the United States through a federal remittance program, included in her latest book, Open Borders, Inc: Who's Funding America's Destruction?
"I was working on a section in Chapter One which is on the caravan cartel called 'Banking on Illegals' and I'd reported on this all the way back from the late 1990s on Bank of America and Wells Fargo and private institutions that were profiting," Malkin said. "And in the middle of that research, I discovered the Federal Reserve, itself, was trying to hone in on this segment of the market with its own program to have a remittance program that is specifically marketed to illegal aliens in America."
"This program still exists, it doesn't make a lot of money, but the idea that the federal government itself is breaking the laws of aiding and abetting illegal aliens and that it hasn't been shut down," Malkin continued. "I mean not only should President Trump fulfill the promise that he made many, many, many months ago to tax remittances but he should shut down this Federal Reserve program as well." [Breitbart]

Hi Friends!
It's that time of year again for me! August marks the month I decided to go vegan, and that was now 13 years ago.
Strictly speaking, I didn't move to a total, never-going-back vegan diet until about a year later, due to the fact that my food addiction was such that occasionally I would say yes to a free brownie that had milk in it. However, after August 2005 I never again had meat or fish, never bought eggs or dairy again, and knew in my heart my desire was to be all vegan.
Once I sorted some of that intense compulsive eating out, I was able to say no even to the free non-vegan baked goods and after that point everything was history.
I love being vegan. I'm so grateful to have found the information that I did as young as I did and it has only enhanced my life in so many ways. I also love teaching other people about a vegan lifestyle: why it's important and how to go about it. I love everything about being vegan. I love learning and talking about how it prevents further environmental damage, I love gushing over happy cows on farm animal sanctuaries and I love teaching about all the ways you can make a chia parfait.
For several of my "veganniversaries", I have created a blog or video answering questions from my readers, and this will continue this year too. I'm in some transition at the moment and video filming will have to wait a bit longer, but videos will come back eventually, in case you were wondering! So this year we have a good 'ole blog to answer your questions.
At the bottom of this post, I'll link you to the last few years' posts along with the questions I answer in each one, so in case you are curious about those questions you can also check out my answers to them. There are many answered there that you may be wondering about.
I hope my suggestions and thoughts are helpful in some way for your plant-iful vegan journey!
Question from Amanda: "There are lots of different forms of healthy vegan eating guides out there – no oil, low salt etc do you feel they are healthy?"
Indeed, there are so many ways to do a vegan diet, and even many ways to do a healthy vegan diet! In my 13 years experience personally and seeing thousands of people embark on vegan diets, I have observed that there isn't one way of being vegan that is best across the board for everyone. I don't believe in any regimens which strictly exclude or limit foods which, to me, are foods that are pretty objectively healthy. For the average person, I feel a diet that calls for no oil ever, or no grains ever, or no fruit ever, etc. is unnecessarily strict.
I have seen people thrive on low-fat diets and high-fat diets (healthy fats), on low-carb diets and high-carb diets (healthy carbs), on no-fruit diets and lots-of-fruit diets.
In terms of health, I have also seen people with varying vegan diets be physically healthy. My belief is that the human body is meant to be vegan and get everything it needs from plants without there needing to be great concern about becoming deficient in anything.
I recommend experimenting with various ways of eating, and various amounts and frequencies of any particular foods. Experimentation is the best way to individualize your own diet and find the "right" vegan diet.
It is also important to do research and gain an education about vegan nutrition wherein you can come to learn things like where to get protein and calcium and how to feel balanced physically. Certainly you want to have some knowledge so you can do it properly and so you can feel good.
For example, in my case, I don't feel good if I eat lots of oil, but I am fine with some. Same with lots of other foods: I don't feel great if I eat too much quinoa or dates or salt, so I just don't eat excessive amounts of them. I don't feel good if I eat late at night when it's close to bed time, but I don't have a strict end time for my eating that I pressure myself to always keep.
In my vegan diet, there are zero rules (the only "rule", if you could call it that, is being completely vegan). However, I have no foods which are off-limit, "bad, "I-can-never" foods. I am still working on developing a fully healthy relationship with food having come from years of dieting and binge eating, but in my recovery it has seemed that moving completely out of the diet mentality, and rather focusing on the "why's" of why I would go overboard on oil or bread or sugar, is the best priority.
I know for many people not having strict guidelines of how many grams of carbs per day or how many teaspoons of oil etc. can be scary. Many of us feel we need strict rules, we need the dieting mentality in order to be healthy or achieve and maintain our ideal weight. But I have come to believe this is a false belief stemming from a remaining fear of ourselves. We get scared of what we will do without guidelines because we still have within us emotionally the root causes of why we use food excessively and compulsively. The more we work through these root causes, as well as experiment with different ways of eating a vegan diet and pay attention to how we feel, the easier it will be to develop our own personalized diet we can maintain for the next 10, 30, or 70 years.
Question from Bill: "What are your thoughts on tofu? Good, not too much? Fermented or non fermented? Too much phytoestrogens?"
When I first went vegan, I was told tofu and soy were definitively bad and I should avoid them at all costs. Without actually looking at research, I went along with this and avoided it almost completely for my first 5 or 6 years being vegan. However, in the 7 or 8 years since then, I have regularly eaten soy products and personally I have had no problems whatsoever from that. I have soy milk often in tea or decaf, I average a couple blocks of tofu a month and tempeh is one of my favorite things.
However, it should be said that I have always had very strong digestion, and I know some people cannot digest soy as easily. If this is this case for you, then tempeh (fermented soy) will be easier to digest than tofu (non-fermented soy) or any highly processed soy products. I believe fermented anything is always better than its non-fermented counterpart, so try out tempeh, which is a great source of protein! Additionally, edamame is a less processed form of soy that some people do well with.
I have also known many men who eat soy regularly who have not had issues with it either.
To research more about soy, I recommend reading the book The China Study by T. Colin Campbell.
Also, an acquaintance of mine named Kris Carr wrote a fantastic article called "Understanding How Soy Foods Impact Your Health" which I totally agree with, and she cites many academic studies you can read into as well.
As always, I recommend experimenting with your diet and how you feel as a result of your experiments, in order to determine if any food is right for you. You can also easily have a vegan diet without ever eating soy products; I did this for 5 or 6 years and also did not have any issues with not eating soy. Other sources of protein can be found in spirulina, chia seeds, other beans and legumes, and just your regular veggies and fruits.
Question from Sheryl: "My problem is that I want to be able to make some fast food type choices not involving meat as an ingredient because I sometimes work 13 hour days driving for two companies. I have no time and fast food chains are a temptation. I carry nuts, seeds, nutty granola bars, apples sliced thin like chips, dried fruit and fresh fruits and veggies. But I would like other things that I can make fast and take on the go."
First off, great job on what you're already doing for preparation! All those items mentioned: nuts, seeds, granola bars (especially ones that are more meal bars than dessert bars!), apples and other fresh produce, and dried fruit are all great options for on-the-go eating.
For days where you are outside the home for a very long time, I recommend having a transportable cooler/ice chest with you to keep food fresh. In addition to the above items you mentioned, other suggestions for quick meals and snacks are veggie sticks with hummus, and celery or apples with peanut butter. You could also make a green smoothie in the morning before you go, and if it is kept chilled, then it would last for later on, especially if you shake it up. Chia pudding made the night before is also a great on-the-go option.
For those with busy work lives outside the home, I also recommend doing a lot of planning ahead with your shopping meal preparation. You are likely going to want to have more substantial meals also, instead of just feeling like you're eating nuts and apples all week, and so I can understand the temptation for fast food that may feels more like a "real meal".
To remedy this issue, I recommend choosing at least one day per week which you dedicate to be your shopping and/or cooking day for the week. In preparation for this day, go online or search your recipe books to find a few recipes which you could make ahead of time, keep in your fridge and then bring along with you in your cooler during the week. These kinds of meals could include wraps, sandwiches, or anything you can put into a sealable container and eat with a fork or spoon, such as salads, macro bowls, or meals with grains or beans as the base. Then, shop for this cooking day according to recipes, and do a few hours of meal prep to get you prepared for the week.
This way you can open your fridge when the 13-hour days come and pop what you've already made into your travel cooler.
The craving for hot meals is probably the remaining challenge. I'd say first of all that the most healthy foods are raw and so you're probably on a healthy track if most of what you eat is actually not cooked. However, you may want to enjoy your cooked meals mainly on days off when it is more practical and you are near a stove, oven etc.
I hope these tips and answers are helpful! Here are questions and answers from recent years, and the links you can go to in order to watch or read them.

On Sunday, MLS fans were treated to a battle featuring two of MLS' most exciting teams. An unbeaten New York City FC took a trip down south to play Atlanta United in front of a loud Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd.
NYCFC had to do it without David Villa in the starting lineup though he made an early substitute appearance. Despite Hector Villalba's absence for ATL, Five Stripes fans were excited to finally see MLS' most expensive import make the 18-man squad for the first time. That player, of course, being Ezequiel Barco, eventually came on as a substitute for his MLS debut.
First Half
The game started with a lot of excitement. No real chances until the 13th minute when Jo Inge Berget cut the ball onto his right foot and blasted a shot at Brad Guzan. The experienced goalkeeper made the save giving NYCFC their first corner kick of the match. Atlanta displayed good counter-attacking play straight after that with Miguel Almiron getting in behind. Luckily, Alex Ring caught up the #10 and ended the danger.
Around the quarter of an hour mark was when NYCFC began to grow into the game a bit. Despite that, the next good chance came in the form of a free kick for Atlanta United in the 27th minute.A clever set-piece play saw the Jeff Larentowiz's go narrowly wide of the goal.
A few moments later, in the 29th minute, Almiron continued to provide trouble for the NYCFC defense. Picking the ball up at around midfield on the left flank, Almiron saw his pass to Josef Martinez cut out by Alexander Callens. Almiron picked up the ball and cut it onto his left foot. His 20-year shot was stopped by Sean Johnson, but his rebound control was not good enough and Greg Garza pounced on it for the opener.
The Boys in Blue also showed they were capable of counter-attacking football as well when Maxi Moralez lead the charge playing the ball into the path of Berget. The Norwegian darted into the box before cutting the ball onto his right foot resulted in being brought down by a recovering Michael Parkhurst. The penalty kick was awarded, and the recently introduced David Villa made no mistake from the spot giving his side the equalizer.
That scoreline didn't last long as Atlanta regained the lead in the 41st minute. Darlington Nagbe's first in a Five Stripes kit.. or was it? Nagbe's goal was reviewed by VAR and after taking a look, Josef Martinez interfered with Sean Johnson and the goal was called back. The pair of teams went into the break tied at 1 goal apiece.
Second Half
The second half started similarly to the first with the game growing in intensity pretty fast. In the 57th minute, we saw a goal. After dominating most of the opening moments of the half, Chris McCann found the go-ahead goal. Almiron found the ball on the wing and chipped it into the middle finding a wide open McCann who put in his first career MLS goal.
With 20 minutes left to play, MLS fans were treated to Ezequiel Barco. MLS' most expensive player came on just in time to see the opposition score a world-class equalizer. David Villa worked hard to get the ball to Alex Ring who lasered in a shot from about 20 yards out. Certainly a contender for Goal of the Week, Ring will always remember his first MLS goal.
Atlanta pinned NYCFC in their half for most of the remainder of the game, but nothing came of it. One of the most exciting games in this young MLS season came to an end as a draw. NYCFC remain four points ahead of Atlanta in the Eastern Conference and their unbeaten start to the season continues.
What's Next?
For NYCFC, they'll look to keep their unbeaten streak alive at Providence Park when they play the Portland Timbers a visit. Then, they'll return home to host FC Dallas before the first Hudson River Derby of the season vs the New York Red Bulls.
Sunday's host will turn their attention to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the LA Galaxy following Sunday's game. After their visit to Los Angeles, they'll host the Montreal Impact before going back on the road to face the Chicago Fire.

Qiu Minye's ethereal light figures
'My God' is right. At his second solo show at the OFOTO gallery in Shanghai, Chinese photographer Qiu Minye exhibits a new way of recording time by removing the identity of an image and leaving us with only the silhouette. The shapes appear to be floating, illuminated by ethereal strands of light. Minye manipulates the recognizable and leaves us with delicate, transparent shapes of animals, humans, and other detached objects. The photos are so gorgeous we almost feel like writing haikus about them.
Check out the lovely images for yourself. They'll be on display at OFOTO until December 6.

"Yaba, please help me post this, don't twist my words and keep my identity a secret please..
I'm in a relationship with this wonderful guy, our introduction has been fixed, to hold on December 30th, he's everything I want in a guy, over caring, understanding, loving, just name it..
His family are wonderful, with his mum always doting on me, and my family See's him as a perfect saint…
until recently I had no reason not to trust him, and i easily pick up fight with people that thinks "all guys are thesame".
I have his fb account email and password, he's also with mine and we keep no secret from each other as I thought…
Now the issue, I was less busy today and I went into his Facebook account, I regret doing that and I wish I could reverse that action, but its been done. so, back to the story, I went to his inbox and I came across this conversation he has been exchanging with this white lady for the past 3months.. its more like sexting with words like "I'd fck you hard when we see" then other messages like, "I love you baby", " I'd come visiting soon to hit the right spots, I'd ask you to marry me and I hope you won't say no".
I'm confused yaba, he acts too normal, even though I went through the conversation myself, I still can't believe he can do such, right now, I don't know what to feel or believe again, this will probably ruin my trust in men. Help me please.
– loyal fan.

Lawsuit Filed Against DIRECTV
Posted: Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 11:54 am
DIRECTV is being sued by a law firm over claims that it has been failing to tell customers that they have to return their set top boxes upon cancellation of contract. The class action lawsuit claims that the company does not make it clear to customers that they need to return their boxes – and this is the case even if they have purchased them from a retailer and paid for them.
The Chicago based Wexler Toriseva Wallace LLP filed the lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles. The lawsuit also includes retailer Best Buy. The lawsuit alleges that DIRECTV does not 'adequate disclose' that the receivers have to be returned even if they have been paid for by the customer.
An official from DIRECTV stated: "DIRECTV disputes allegations regarding its lease program and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. We do not believe the claims have merit."
However, the law firm has stated: "The lawsuit was filed on behalf of consumers nationwide, further alleging that consumers instead believe that they own the receivers they purchase from DIRECTV or its retailers, like Best Buy and Circuit City. Only later, according to the suit, do they discover that they must pay lease fees, and return their receivers if they cancel their DIRECTV subscription,"

Entitlement: What It Means For the Next Generation of Employees
When a person is entitled or behaves in an entitled manner, they believe that he/she deserves certain privileges or special treatment (often in an arrogant way). The term "Culture of Entitlement" suggests that a rising number of youths today have a highly unreasonable expectation about what they are entitled to and deserve in the workplace.
Entitlement is one of the biggest issues and challenges faced by employers and parents of youth that fall into the Generation Y age bracket: They can be unmotivated, unhelpful and self-absorbed. When it comes to work, entitled youth don't think they should start on low/apprentice wages, they typically don't want to work with fast food or other undesirable positions, and are often wanting more despite everything they are given.
Does this sound like anyone you know?
In the Employment First Aid (EFA) program, there is a distinct separation of two typical types of clients: Entitled Gen Y youth and extremely disadvantaged youth. The former generally do not know how to keep a job because up until now have had a relatively "easy" home life, education and childhood. After having everything given to them without having to work for it and receiving constant parental reassurance that they are "special" or "above the average", they typically lack resilience and do not take well to criticism. This causes them to give up easily and outwardly blame other circumstances for their failures. Meanwhile, the disadvantaged youth tend to come from a child safety background, in and out of foster care, with little to no family support, and numerous mental health issues.
The wants and needs of these two types of youth are on two completely different wave lengths. While the disadvantaged youth are happy just to have bare necessities (food, a birth certificate and a roof over their heads), their entitled job competitors are rarely satisfied with the many things they already have. Most of the time, entitled youth have trouble differentiating "want" with "need", alleging they "need" the latest technology or unnecessary item to feel fulfilled.
Entitled youth are becoming more and more common with our Gen Y youth due to changes in parenting over the years. As having two working parents in the household has increased, there has been a significant change in parenting direction and priorities. When both parents work, they tend to become very busy and "time-poor", and are buying their child's love instead of earning it (often out of guilt or to bypass real duties of parenting).
There are nine major areas that have changed in parenting priorities over the years thus leading to youth developing entitlement issues. As a result, this affects youth's resilience and coping strategies, and can lead to multiple employment issues (falling in and out of employment, unrealistic expectations of pay, etc).
Parents of entitled youth tend to;
- Reward bad behaviour
- Empower a bad attitude in youth
- Rescue their youth (don't let them learn from their mistakes)
- Confuse necessities with privileges
- Don't set or enforce boundaries
- Don't encourage positive change
- Don't offer new opportunities
- Be inconsistent with punishments, attention, time and rewards
- Have little to no consequences for actions (blame everyone else when something goes wrong)
These problems with entitled youth can make it difficult for them further down the line as entitlement is not accepted in the workforce. Entitled Gen Y youth often have not developed coping strategies and they expect to be rewarded for everything they do in their job.
EFA has implemented the Tuckman's tool, a team development model that brings awareness of the stages in the workforce; forming, storming, norming, and performing. It is important for youth to be able to identify when a certain stage is happening in their workforce team and build certain strategies to cope with it. Not everything at work is going to be sunshine and rainbows, there are different stages with different situations and personality types.
The team at EFA have also helped youth with identifying the distinct difference in what is a "want" and what is a "need" in life. It brings the youth back down to earth and helps them see that you must work for what you have, it is not given to you. Entitlement in youth is going to be an ongoing battle in society and the workplace but with programs like EFA adding extra support, hopefully the entitled youth will learn to be grateful and that not everything comes easy.

Patron+ Good Ole Days – Ladies' Visiting cards
(Excerpt from The Courtland Enterprise, Courtland, Alabama, February 15, 1894)
Ladies' cards are governed by the following rules: A married woman in society, especially with daughters, should always use the prefix "Mrs." Widows and maiden ladies often prefer to use the simple name without prefix; fashion dictates otherwise. A young lady in society, having passed her first season, should, if the eldest daughter, use simply, for instance, "Miss Bothwell."
If a younger daughter, she should use her Christian name in full. In her first season, a debutante should engrave her name below that of her brother, her individual card not appearing till the second season. On visiting with her mother the name of a daughter may be engraved below that of her mother; if separate, her card should always be left with her mother's card. The same applies to a plurality of daughters, the names being grouped.

History Of The USS Saratoga
Saratoga V
Displacement: 33,000 tons
Length: 888 feet
Beam: 106 feet
Draft: 24 feet 1½ inches
Speed: 33.91 knots
Complement: 2,111 crew
Armament: 8 eight -inch and 12 five-inch guns, and 4 six-pounders
Aircraft: 81
Class: Lexington
The fifth Saratoga (CV-3) was laid down on 25 September 1920 as Battle Cruiser #3 by the New York Shipbuilding Co., Camden, N.J.; ordered converted to an aircraft carrier and reclassified CV-3 on 1 July 1922 in accordance with the Washington Treaty limiting naval armaments; launched on 7 April 1925; sponsored by Mrs. Curtis D. Wilbur, wife of the Secretary of the Navy; and commissioned on 16 November 1927, Capt. Harry E. Yarnell in command.
Saratoga, the first fast carrier in the United States Navy, quickly proved the value of her type. She sailed from Philadelphia on 6 January 1928 for shakedown; and, on 11 January, her air officer, the future World Was II hero, Marc A. Mischer, landed the first aircraft on board. In an experiment on 27 January, the rigid airship Los Angeles (ZR-3) moored to Saratoga's stern and took on fuel and stores. The same day, Saratoga sailed for the Pacific via the Panama Canal. She was diverted briefly between 14 and 16 February to carry marines to Corinto, Nicaragua, and finally joined the Battle Fleet at San Pedro, California, on 21 February. The rest of the year was spent in training and final machinery shakedown.
On 15 January 1929, Saratoga sailed from San Diego with the Battle Fleet to participate in her first fleet exercise, Fleet Problem IX. In a daring move, Saratoga was detached from the fleet with only a single cruiser as escort to make a wide sweep to the south and "attack" the Panama Canal, which was defended by the Scouting Fleet and Saratoga's sister ship, Lexington. She successfully launched her strike on 26 January, and despite being "sunk" three times later in the day, proved the versatility of a fast task force centered around a carrier. The idea was incorporated into fleet doctrine and reused the following year in Fleet Problem X in the Caribbean. This time, however, Saratoga and carrier, Langley, were "disabled" by a surprise attack from Lexington, showing how quickly air power could swing the balance in a naval action. Following the fleet concentration in the Caribbean, Saratoga took part in the Presidential Review at Norfolk in May and returned to San Pedro on 21 June 1930.
During the remaining decade before World War II, Saratoga exercised in the San Diego-San Pedro area, except for the annual fleet problems and regular overhauls at the Bremerton Navy Yard. In the fleet problems, Saratoga continued to assist in the development of fast carrier tactics, and her importance was recognized by the fact that she was always a high priority target for the opposing forces. The fleet problem for 1932 was planned for Hawaii, and, by coincidence, occurred during the peak of the furor following the "Manchurian incident" in which Japan started on the road to World War II. Saratoga exercised in the Hawaii area from 31 January to 19 March and returned to Hawaii for fleet exercises the following year between 23 January and 28 February 1933. On the return trip to the west coast, she launched a successful air "attack" on the Long Beach area.
Exercises in 1934 took Saratoga to the Caribbean and the Atlantic for an extended period, from 9 April to 9 November, and were followed by equally extensive operations with the United States Fleet in the Pacific the following year. Between 27 April and 6 June 1936, she participated in a fleet problem in the Canal Zone, and she then returned with the fleet to Hawaii for exercises from 16 April to 28 May 1937. On 15 March 1938, Saratoga sailed from San Diego to Fleet Problem XIX, again conducted off Hawaii. During the second phase of the problem, Saratoga launched a surprise air attack on Pearl Harbor from a point 100 miles off Oahu, setting a pattern that the Japanese copied in December 1941. During the return to the west coast, Saratoga and Lexington followed this feat with "strikes" on Mare Island and Alameda. Saratoga was under overhaul during the 1939 fleet concentration; but, between 2 April and 21 June 1940, she participated in Fleet Problem XXI, the last to be held due to the deepening world crisis.
Between 14 and 29 October 1940, Saratoga transported a draft of military personnel from San Pedro to Hawaii; and, on 6 January 1941, she entered the Bremerton Navy Yard for a long deferred modernization, including widening her flight deck forward and fitting a blister on her starboard side and additional small antiaircraft guns. Departing Bremerton on 28 April 1941, the carrier participated in a landing force exercise in May and made two trips to Hawaii between June and October as the diplomatic crisis with Japan came to head.
When the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, Saratoga was just entering San Diego after an interim dry-docking at Bremerton. She hurriedly got underway the following day as the nucleus of a third carrier force (Lexington and Enterprise were already at sea); carrying Marine aircraft intended to reinforce the vulnerable garrison on Wake Island. Presence of these aircraft on board made Saratoga the logical choice for the actual relief effort. She reached Pearl Harbor on 15 December and stopped only long enough to fuel. She then rendezvoused with Tangier (AV-8), which had relief troops and supplies on board, while Lexington and Enterprise provided distant cover for the operation. However, the Saratoga force was delayed by the low speed of its oiler and by a decision to refuel destroyers on 21 December. After receiving reports of Japanese carrier aircraft over the island and Japanese landings on it, the relief force was recalled on 22 December. Wake fell the next day.
Saratoga continued operations in the Hawaiian Island region; but, on 11 January 1942, when heading towards a rendezvous with Enterprise, 500 miles southwest of Oahu, she was hit without warning by a deep running torpedo fired by Japanese submarine, I-16. Although six men were killed and three firerooms were flooded, the carrier reached Oahu under her own power. There, her 8-inch guns, useless against aircraft, were removed for installation in shore defenses, and the carrier proceeded to the Bremerton Navy Yard for permanent repairs and installation of a modern antiaircraft battery.
Saratoga departed Puget Sound on 22 May for San Diego. She arrived there on 25 May and was training her air group when intelligence was received of an impending Japanese assault on Midway. Due to the need to load planes and stores and to collect escorts, the carrier was unable to sail until 1 June and arrived at Pearl Harbor on the 6th after the Battle of Midway had ended. She departed Pearl Harbor on 7 June after fueling; and, on 11 June, transferred 34 aircraft to Hornet and Enterprise to replenish their depleted air groups. The three carriers then turned north to counter Japanese activity reported in the Aleutians, but the operation was cancelled and Saratoga returned to Pearl Harbor on 13 June.
Between 22 and 29 June, Saratoga ferried Marine and Army aircraft to the garrison on Midway. On 7 July, she sailed for the southwest Pacific; and, from 28 to 30 July, she provided air cover for landing rehearsals in the Fiji Islands in preparation for landings on Guadalcanal. As flagship of Rear Admiral F. J. Fletcher, Saratoga opened the Guadalcanal assault early on 7 August when she turned into the wind to launch aircraft. She provided air cover for the landings for the next two days. On the first day, a Japanese air attack was repelled before it reached the carriers; but since further attacks were expected, the carrier force withdrew on the afternoon of 8 August towards a refueling rendezvous. As a result, it was too far away to retaliate after four Allied cruisers were sunk that night in the Battle of Savo Island. The carrier force continued to operate east of the Solomon's, protecting the sea lanes to the beachhead and awaiting a Japanese naval counterattack.
The counterattack began to materialize when a Japanese transport force was detected on 23 August, and Saratoga launched a strike against it. The aircraft were unable to find the enemy, however, and spent the night on Guadalcanal. As they were returning on board the next day, the first contact report on enemy carriers was received. Two hours later, Saratoga launched a strike which sent Japanese carrier Ryujo to the bottom. Later in the afternoon, as an enemy strike from other carriers was detected, Saratoga hastily launched the aircraft on her deck, and these found and damaged seaplane tender Chitose. Meanwhile, due to cloud cover, Saratoga escaped detection by the Japanese aircraft, which concentrated their attack on, and damaged, Enterprise. The American force fought back fiercely and weakened enemy air strength so severely that the Japanese recalled their transports before they reached Guadalcanal.
After landing her returning aircraft at night on 24 August, Saratoga refueled on the 25th and resumed her patrols east of the Solomon's. A week later, a destroyer reported torpedo wakes heading toward the carrier, but the 888-foot flattop could not turn quickly enough. A minute later, a torpedo from I-26 slammed into the blister of her starboard side. The torpedo killed no one and only flooded one fire room, but the impact caused short circuits which damaged Saratoga's turbo-electric propulsion system and left her dead in the water. Cruiser Minneapolis took the carrier under tow while she flew her aircraft off to shore bases. By early afternoon, Saratoga's engineers had improvised a circuit out of the burned wreckage of her main control board and had given her a speed of 10 knots. After repairs at Tonga Abu from 6 to 12 September, Saratoga arrived at Pearl Harbor on 21 September for permanent repairs.
Saratoga sailed from Pearl Harbor on 10 November and proceeded, via Fiji, to Noumea which she reached on 5 December. She operated in the vicinity of Noumea for the next twelve months, providing air cover for minor operations and protecting American forces in the Eastern Solomons. Between 17 May and 31 July 1943, she was reinforced by the British carrier, Victorious; and, on 20 October, she was joined by Princeton (CVL-23). As troops stormed ashore on Bougainville on 1 November, Saratoga's aircraft neutralized nearby Japanese airfields on Baku. Then, on 5 November, in response to reports of Japanese cruisers concentrating at Rabaul to counterattack the Allied landing forces, Saratoga conducted perhaps her most brilliant strike of the war. Her aircraft penetrated the heavily defended port and disabled most of the Japanese cruisers, ending the surface threat to Bougainville. Saratoga, herself, escaped unscathed and returned to raid Rabaul again on 11 November.
Saratoga and Princeton were then designated the Relief Carrier Group for the offensive in the Gilberts; and, after striking Nauru on 19 November, they rendezvoused on 23 November while the transports carrying garrison troops to Makin and Tarawa. The carriers provide air cover until the transports reached their destinations, and then maintained air patrols over Tarawa. By this time, Saratoga had steamed over a year without repairs, and she was detached on 30 November to return to the United States. She underwent overhaul at San Francisco from 9 December 1943 to 3 January 1944, and her antiaircraft battery augmented for the last time, receiving 60 40-millimeter guns in place of 36 20-millimeter guns.
The carrier arrived at Pearl Harbor on 7 January, and, after a brief period of training, sailed from Pearl Harbor on 19 January with light carriers, Langley and Princeton, to support the drive in the Marshalls. Her aircraft struck Wotje and Taroa for three days, from 29 to 31 January, and then pounded Engebi, the main island at Eniwetok, the 3d to the 6th and from the 10th to the 12th of February. Her planes delivered final blows to Japanese defenses on the 16th, the day before landings, and provided close air support and CAP over the island until 28 February.
Saratoga then took leave of the main theaters of the Pacific war for almost a year, to carry out important but less spectacular assignments elsewhere. Her first task was to help the British initiate their carrier offensive in the Far East. On 4 March, Saratoga departed Majuro with an escort of three destroyers, and sailed via Espiritu Santo; Hobart, Tasmania; and Fremantle, Australia; to join the British Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean. She rendezvoused at sea on 27 March with the British force, composed of carrier Illustrious, and four battleships with escorts, and arrived with them at Trincomalee, Ceylon, on 31 March. On 12 April, the French battleship, Richelieu, arrived, adding to the international flavor of the force. During the next two days, the carriers conducted intensive training at sea during which Saratoga's fliers tried to impart some of their experience to the British pilots. On 16 April, the Eastern Fleet, with Saratoga, sailed from Trincomalee; and, on the 19th, the aircraft from the two carriers struck the port of Sabang, off the northwest tip of Sumatra. The Japanese were caught by surprise by the new offensive, and much damage was done to port facilities and oil reserves. The raid was so successful that Saratoga delayed her departure in order to carry out a second. Sailing again from Ceylon on 6 May, the force struck at Soerabaja, Java, on 17 May with equally successful results. Saratoga was detached the following day, and passed down the columns of the Eastern Fleet as the Allied ships rendered honors to and cheered each other.
Saratoga arrived at Bremerton, Washington, on 10 June 1944 and was under repair there through the summer. On 24 September, she arrived at Pearl Harbor and commenced her second special assignment, training night fighter squadrons. Saratoga had experimented with night flying as early as 1931, and many carriers had been forced to land returning aircraft at night during the war; but, only in August 1944, did a carrier, Independence, receive an air group specially equipped to operate at night. At the same time, Carrier Division 11, composed of Saratoga and Ranger (CV-4), was commissioned at Pearl Harbor to train night pilots and develop night flying doctrine. Saratoga continued this important training duty for almost four months, but as early as October, her division commander was warned that "while employed primarily for training, Saratoga is of great value for combat and is to be kept potentially available for combat duty." The call came in January 1945. Light carriers like Independence had proved too small for safe night operations, and Saratoga was rushed out of Pearl Harbor on 29 January 1945 to form a night fighter task group with Enterprise for the Iwo Jima operation.
Saratoga arrived at Ulithi on 7 February and sailed, three days later, with Enterprise and four other carrier task groups. After landing rehearsals with marines at Tinian on 12 February, the carrier force carried out diversionary strikes on the Japanese home islands on the night of 16 and 17 February before the landings on Iwo Jima. Saratoga was assigned to provide fighter cover while the remaining carriers launched the strikes on Japan; but, in the process, her fighters raided two Japanese airfields. The force fueled on 18 and 19 February; and, on 21 February, Saratoga was detached with an escort of three destroyers to join the amphibious forces and carry out night patrols over Iwo Jima and night heckler missions over nearby Chichi Jima. However, as she approached her operating area at 1700 on the 21st, an air attack developed; and, taking advantage of low cloud cover and Saratoga's insufficient escort, six Japanese planes scored five hits on the carrier in three minutes. Saratoga's flight deck forward was wrecked, her starboard side was holed twice and large fires were started in her hanger deck, while she lost 123 of her crew dead and missing. Another attack at 1900 scored an additional bomb hit. By 2015, the fires were under control and the carrier was able to recover aircraft, but she was ordered to Eniwetok and then to the west coast for repairs, and arrived at Bremerton on 16 March.
On 22 May, Saratoga departed Puget Sound fully repaired, and she resumed training pilots at Pearl Harbor on 3 June. She ceased training duty on 6 September, after the Japanese surrender, and sailed from Hawaii on 9 September transporting 3,712 returning naval veterans home to the United States under Operation "magic Carpet." By the end of her "Magic Carpet" service, Saratoga had brought home 29,204 Pacific war veterans, more than any other individual ship. At the time, she also held the record for the greatest number of aircraft landed on a carrier, with a lifetime total of 98,549 landings in 17 years.
With the arrival of large numbers of Essex-class carriers, Saratoga was surplus to postwar requirements, and she was assigned to Operation "Crossroads" at Bikini Atoll to test the effect of the atomic bomb on naval vessels. She survived the first blast; an air burst on 1 July, with only minor damage, but was mortally wounded by the second on 25 July, an underwater blast which was detonated under a landing craft 500 yards from the carrier. Salvage efforts were prevented by radioactivity, and seven and one-half hours after the blast, with her funnel collapsed across her deck, Saratoga slipped beneath the surface of the lagoon. She was struck from the Navy list on 15 August 1946.
Saratoga received seven battle stars for her World War II service.
In 1925 the U.S.S. Saratoga (CV3) became the first United States vessel to be launched as an aircraft carrier. Two years later she was commissioned. She was one of only three pre-war United States aircraft carriers to survive WWII and was the oldest aircraft carrier in service, until she was sunk in the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll.
In 1941, when the fleet was crippled at Pearl Harbor by the sudden Japanese attack, the SARA became the backbone of the American defenses in the Pacific. During WWII, her planes flew thousands of air strikes against shore installations in the Solomon Islands, Bougainville, Munda airfield, Vella Lavella, Rabaul, Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Eniwetok, Kwajelein, Sumatra, Java, Iwo Jima and the Tokyo area of Japan. In addition, her planes are known to have sunk one carrier, two cruisers and several destroyers. Heavy damage was inflicted on eight enemy cruisers, one battleship, several destroyers and numerous merchant ships. Hundreds of enemy aircraft were shot down, and many more were destroyed on the ground.
She did not escape unharmed. Twice, she was struck by torpedoes fired by enemy submarines and forced to retire for repairs. Her heaviest damage was suffered near Iwo Jima when she was struck by seven bombs and five Kamikaze planes. Fires and explosions ripped the ship as her gunners fought back and her repair crews struggled to control the damage. The SARATOGA survived, but 123 shipmates gave their lives and over 300 were injured.
After the end of the war, SARA was placed on the "Magic Carpet" run and, in eight trips, returned 30,000 war weary veterans to the United States.
She now rests quietly on the bottom of Bikini Lagoon.
Subsequently (CVA-60) was launched, and then commissioned at New York in April 1956. During her illustrious thirty eight (38) year career was decommissioned on 20 August 1994 at Mayport, FL. Her memory will live in the hearts of thousands who so proudly served aboard her.
Her history speaks for itself. LONG LIVE HER MEMORY!!

Soybean Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/16/2018 -- The global soybean market is driven by the increasing awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits of soybean and therefore it's increased number of applications. Today soybean is also used in animal feed. Since soybean helps in improving the metabolism, people can gain weight in a healthy manner and also have better digestive health, thus driving its demand.
Soybean can help defend against cancer, reduce the impact of menopause, enhance the health of bones, protect the heart, and protect against birth defects. It also decreases the risk of diabetes and increases circulation. All these factors are anticipated to fuel the demand for soybeans in the next few years. On the other hand, daily protein ingredients are increasingly gaining consumer acceptance which will threaten the demand for soya bean. Manufacturers are increasingly finding it difficult to maintain the final price of the product on account of the volatility in terms of raw material supply and demand.

As per Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global soybean Market is anticipated to rise from US$146.23 bn in 2017 to US$215.746 bn by 2025, expanding at a 5% CAGR between 2017 and 2025.
There are two types of soybean sources, organic and conventional. Of these, it is expected that the organic segment will expand at a faster pace as consumers are now preferring products which are natural and devoid of any additives. It is most likely that the organic segment will expand at an 8.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2025. By end use, the global soybean market is segmented into dietary supplements, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and animal feed. Of these, the highest revenue was generated from the animal feed segment. The animal feed segment accounted for 75.1% of the total market and is expected to continue to expand at a healthy pace in the years to come. Oil, protein, milk, tofu, fiber, soy milk are key products of soya bean. Of these it is anticipated that the soybean meal segment will dominate in the market, accounting for 72.9% of the total market.
Read Report Overview @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/soybean-market.html
On the basis of geography the global soybean market is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the Rest of the World. Among these, Asia Pacific is leading in terms of highest demand. The high population, increasing number of people in emerging nations who have developed a strong inclination for healthy food, and rising awareness about the protein content of soybean among consumers will drive the Asia Pacific soybean market. The demand for soybean from nutraceuticals sector will also help the market to grow in this region. In addition to this, the animal feed industry is also stoking the growth of this market.
Latin America is expected to be the second leading segment, region wise for the soybean market followed by North America. Latin American and Asia Pacific are expected to collectively account for a whopping 78.1% of the total market by 2025. Increasing consumption of soybean in place of dairy proteins and as a alternative to meat will fuel the growth of this market in these two regions. Soybean is also used as an active ingredient in clean label products and sports nutrition products.
Players within the soybean market are attempting to develop innovative soybean based foods which have improved functionality. Players are also experimenting with newer blends in order to enhance the application areas of soybean. Some of the prominent players within the market include: Fuji Oil Group, Kerry Inc., House Foods Group Inc, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., The WhiteWave Foods Company, CHS Inc., The Scoular Company, Cargill Inc, and Archer-Daniels Midland Co.

Organic Spectroscopy
This introduction to the application of spectroscopic techniques in organic chemistry presupposes very little foreknowledge in the reader and begins at a level suitable for the early student. The main body of each chapter is supplemented by work on more recondite and recent work in the field.;Chapter 1 takes a look at the electromagnetic spectrum, and introduces the unifying relationship between energy and the main absorption techniques.;The next four chapters deal with the four mainstream spectroscopic methods - methods which together have completely altered the face of organic chemistry in little over a decade and a half. Most students will use infra-red spectroscopy first, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy will follow. Electronic spectroscopy is more limited in scope, and mass spectroscopy is the most recent and , in general, the most expensive. The final chapter provides both worked and problem examples in the application of these techniques, both singly and jointly.;An ELBS/LPBB edition is available

Green Lantern Corps #8
What the hell? My Blogger thingie is all...different. New things confuse me! I'm old and set in my ways! Nevertheless, I will persevere and just hope and pray that this actually works. So...on to Green Lantern Corps. My. My oh my. There is a heckuva lot of food for thought in the latest issue. Turns out that the Alpha Lanterns are onto John, and his little difference of opinion with Lantern Krrrt, while they were being tortured by the Keepers. Krrrt was about to crack, and give them the codes to the Main Power Battery on Oa, which would possibly have lead to the defeat of the Guardians and the entire Corps. Or maybe not, but John felt that he couldn't take that chance, and promptly broke Krrrt's neck. But the Alphas aren't happy about this, and feel that it is up to THEM to dispense Justice...so they are bound and determined to bring John in for questioning, and presumably a trial. Meanwhile, on Oa, John and Guy and most of the rest of the Corps are busy digging a nice big hole for the giant Fear Battery that Sinestro dumped there a little while back. In his usual fashion, Guy is grousing about even having the damned thing on Oa, while John is just trying to get the job done. But Guy has had enough, and decides that the only Battery that should be standing is the GREEN one, and gives it a big smack and dumps it on its side in the hole. Guy is VERY pleased with himself, but the other lanterns,who were sweating trying to get the thing done properly are VERY pissed. As usual. Salaak comes over and he and Guy start yelling at each other. Also as usual. Guy is not happy about Sinestro being a Green Lantern again, and really, who can blame him? I doubt that any of them are particularly ecstatic about it, but Sinestro always does what the Guardians want. Guy also isn't happy about all of the comatose Sinestro Corps members still cooling their jets in the Sciencells, but there isn't anything that he can do about it at the moment, and besides, the Guadians themselves want to see him. Salaak assumes that it is for a reprimand. Heck everyone assumes it is for a reprimand. Guy shows up at the Citadel, and says he's ready for whatever punishment they want to meet out, and is quite startled to learn that he's not there to be punished...in fact, they want to REWARD him...for simply being so fabulous. They think that he's been overlooked for too long, and that his service to the Corps demands recognition. There is a moment of stunned silence on Guy's part...and then he bursts into a hearty "Bwhahahahahahaha!" He's still laughing as he tells them to stop screwing with him...what is REALLY going on. They swear that they aren't screwing with him...in exactly those words, and that unlike Hal Jordan, he's only been good for the Corps. Guy is pretty much flabgerghasted. He's always been the bad boy...working his ass off, but never getting any recognition for it. And to be perfectly honest, I have to agree with the Guardians o this point. Guy Gardner IS the Greatest Green Lantern...at least in my humble opinion. And his own. So anyway, they want to reward him with a new position, even classier than being first in the Honor Guard. A Proactive Command Position, where he would be answerable only to them, and could pretty much do whatever he wants out in the field. In fact, Salaak would be serving UNDER him! Needless to say...Guy is IN! In fact, he's beside himself with glee. And again...who can blame him? So next, we find Guy and John chilling out at Warriors, drinking beer, while John makes little bridges and stuff out of toothpicks, because he's an architect, and as Guy notes, he actually likes to build stuff instead of just blowing it up. Guy is pretty happy, but John is his usual morose self, and Guy is wondering if there is anything that he can do to help. John refuses his help, and Guy is just about to tell him what the Guardians have offered him,when a bunch of aliens get cranky because they have to check their weapons at the door, and none of the Lanterns have to, and it's just not fair. I'm a bit bemused to even find out that people other than Lanterns can even get to Oa and walk into a bar...I always thought that Oa was off limits for the most part. But apparently, Warriors is open to everyone, and Guy does his best to defuse the situation. It lasts for a minute or two and then the cool Bar Fight Is On! Everyone is enjoying themselves immensely. No rings allowed, just a good old-fashioned brawl, when all of a sudden the Alpha Lanterns show up and decide that this is the perfect time to arrest John. For Murder. Oops. Well, I guess it had to happen sometime. John doesn't even look all that surprised. I have my suspicions about the Guardians latest move. I approve completely of their recognizing that Guy is one helluva Lantern, but I question their motives. I think they are trying to pit the Lanterns against each other, and have chosen Guy to be their pit bull in the upcoming war, assuming that he'll chose their approval over that of his fellow Lanterns. I think that they will turn out to be mistaken, but the Guardians just are behaving so strangely lately, that their actions cannot be trusted in the least. Good story, good dialogue, good art. And Guy. Lots and lots of Guy. I'm so happy.

71,18 l/s for Padang Pidada sub-district and 71,18 l/s for Padang Cermin sub-district.
The availability of water must meet the size of the high demand for water in order to

Gloria Eden, known as 'Glory', is a semi-literate, middle-aged woman living on the edge – a bag-lady. Her world is that of urban dereliction and social vermin – drop-outs, misfits, the homeless.Her redeeming feature is the abundant energy with which she confronts a seemingly hopeless situation, often turning what might appear to be suffering and misery into comedy. Then, unexpectedly, she comes to the rescue of a young boy who has run away from home, Darren, and soon they are both on the run from the powers-that-be. In her debut novel, Adrienne Silcock enters the mind of this enterprising anarchic survivor and gives her a voice forged from vernacular speech at its most vigorous. Although written in a more conventional idiom, the six short stories that complete the volume are thematically related to Vermin and continue Adrienne Silcock's exploration of loners and social outsiders.

If you need a reprieve from life's pressures, grab your yoga pants and head to the Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale. This incredible conservatory will offer special yoga and tai chi classes throughout May and June. With its beautiful rainforest setting and direct connection to nature, there really is no better place to relax away the stress.
The hour-long classes will take place Tuesday evenings at 5:30, and a certified instructor teaches each session. The focus for these disciplines is connecting movement with steady breathing, so you'll immediately feel at peace. Combined with the lovely tropical backdrop, the practice almost feels otherworldly. The natural surroundings provide a special kind of tranquility.
During the class, you'll be shown a series of postures varying in difficulty. The instructor allows and encourages modifications, which means you can keep a steady flow from start to finish. This will ultimately produce better results. Different techniques will be covered, including breathing, stretching and meditating. Not only will you strengthen your body, you'll strengthen your mind and soul.
Before class begins, you'll be able to take a look around the conservatory. It's a remarkably well-kept atrium, and the image of thousands of vibrant, fluttering wings is difficult to forget. Once you've felt the magic of this wonderland, you'll be inspired to radiate positivity and develop your spirituality, which coincides with the philosophies of these Eastern disciplines.
The tai chi and yoga classes cost just $20 each, and they're geared toward adults. If you want to bring your children along, consider having another adult show them the sights while you attend class. This unique experience is the ideal way to beat the outdoor desert heat while still remaining active and being able to witness the magnificence and splendor of nature.

Gene Slaughter, 77, passed away Wednesday, July 31 from pneumonia.
Gene loved his family and his friends that he considered family. He loved New Mexico, Colorado, mountains and rivers. He loved cats and all small animals. He will be remembered as a quiet soul, who could always be depended on to be there and to help when needed.
Gene was born to Willie "Buck" Slaughter and Dorothy Wells in Shiloh, Texas. While Texas-born, Gene grew up mostly in New Mexico and called Aztec, NM his home. After serving proudly in the U.S. Air Force, Gene moved to Plano, Tx. Gene and Nannette Daly married in 1969 and happily bickered daily for almost 40 years until she predeceased him in 2009.
Gene spent almost his entire career at LTV/E-Systems/Raytheon where he was an electrical engineer. After retirement, he and Nannette moved back to Aztec, NM where they loved gardening, traveling through the Colorado mountains, and watching wildlife. After 15 happy years in New Mexico, the lure of Texas and grandkids called and Gene and Nannette moved back to Kaufman, Tx where they both resided until their passings.
Gene was a founding member of the North Texas Antique Tractor and Engine Club. He was also a long-time member of the E-Systems Retirees Club.
Gene was predeceased by his parents and his sister Bette Perry. He is survived by his sisters Ginger Taylor and Kathy Ellison and his brother Bob Sheppard. He is also survived by two daughters, Bonita Doyle and Judge Gena Slaughter and her husband, Richard Faulkner; grandchildren Beau, Mason, Evangeline and Grayson; and great-grandchildren Jackson and Harrison. Gene is also survived by his family of choice, including Richard and Brenda Gray, Tanya Truitt, Michael Truitt and the entire Truitt family.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 11, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. at the Kaufman County Cowboy Church, 5970 State Hwy 243, Kaufman, Texas. Please dress comfortably – jeans and boots, if you have them. Gene never wore a suit and tie unless forced to, so he wouldn't want his friends and family to either. As he wished, Gene was cremated; part of his ashes will be interred with his wife Nannette in a private service and the remainder will be scattered at a later time over two of his favorite places – Wolf Creek Pass and Engineer Pass in the mountains of southern Colorado.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Dallas Cat Lady rescue group, dallascatlady.org or his place of worship, the Kaufman County Cowboy Church, kaufmancountycowboychurch.org.

MONITORING GRIZZLY BEARS IN SOUTHWESTERN ALBERTACategory: 2013, Completed, Grant, Land Use
Waterton Biosphere Reserve Association
Ben Thibault
Biosphere reserves strive to find a balance between healthy ecosystems and sustainable communities. Grizzly-human conflicts in the Waterton Biosphere Reserve (WBR) challenge both conservation of biodiversity and maintenance of ranching as a sustainable economic activity. This project will provide the data necessary to form a solid basis for management of grizzly bears in this landscape, supported by both wildlife managers and local landowners. It will help to fine tune actions landowners can take to reduce conflict. This in turn will support the overall aim of the WBR's Carnivores and Communities program to "achieve a balance between large carnivore conservation and agriculture."
Many conflict reduction projects have been implemented in the area, such as electric fencing, grain bin modifications, etc. between 2008 and 2012. While ad-hoc monitoring of these projects has occurred, it has become apparent that a more deliberate, targeted monitoring program is necessary to determine design effectiveness, the response of grizzly bears to attractant management projects, and /or identify necessary changes or improvements.
This project expands monitoring efforts of grizzly bears in the area to include monitoring of conflict mitigation projects. This work will include both non-invasive DNA and remote trail camera monitoring. This will ensure projects are designed appropriately and modified based on bear behaviour if needed. A complete and thorough monitoring effort capable of filling both knowledge gaps is critical to ensuring that future management and conservation actions are effective, appropriately targeted, scientifically defensible, and locally supported. Simply put, without a monitoring framework it is not possible to effectively measure the success or failings of grizzly bear conservation and management actions in this critical southwest region of Alberta. Only in this way can we hope to effectively decrease conflict and find a balance between grizzlies and ranching in southwestern Alberta.
