The Auke Lake system has endemic populations of pink, chum, sockeye and coho salmon, and supports populations of Dolly Varden char and cutthroat and steelhead trout. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and its predecessor agency, U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, began salmon research at Auke Creek, near Juneau, Alaska, in 1961. There are emigrant and immigrant counts of several species over nearly five decades (Appendices 1 and 2). Pink salmon fry populations at Auke Creek were estimated annually, 1972-79, and counted at the weir since 1980. Fyke nets were used capture sockeye salmon smolts leaving Auke Lake, and estimates are available for some years between 1961 and 1979. Total sockeye smolt counts are available since 1980. Chum salmon fry were counted annually since 1985. Coho salmon smolt estimates were made in 1976, 1977, and 1979, and the total coho smolt emigration was counted since 1980. Dolly Varden char and cutthroat trout were counted in 1970 and since 1980. Steelhead emigrants were counted since 1990. Weir counts of sockeye salmon adults at Auke Creek began in 1963; pink and chum salmon were counted 1967-68, and all salmon were counted since 1971. Chinook salmon entered Auke Creek since 1987 as a result of releases of juveniles from other hatcheries. Immigrant Dolly Varden and cutthroat and steelhead trout were counted from 1997-2006.
Auke Creek is the site of many research projects on wild and hatchery salmonids. The present weir at Auke Creek was constructed in 1980, and provided the capability to capture all emigrant and immigrant salmonids. Annual operations and maintenance costs associated with Auke Creek Research Station are provided by NMFS through the salmon research program of Auke Bay Laboratory. Projects at Auke Creek between 1971 and 1983 operated under several cooperative agreements. An interagency cooperative agreement relating to Auke Creek weir was established in 1983 between the NMFS, University of Alaska-Fairbanks (UAF), and Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG). The agreement provided the authority to jointly fund a full-time person to assist with the operation of the fish counting weir at Auke Creek. The primary objective is to operate the weir on a daily basis and maintain the long-term data collections on migrant salmonids. Auke Creek weir usually operates from early March through late October. A report of fish counts from daily weir operations and other information related to salmonid research involving the facilities at the weir is prepared each year. The annual fish count data are available in the Auke Creek data file at the NMFS Auke Bay Laboratory. Data collected on specific projects outside the scope of the cooperative agreements are usually not included in the annual report. Those data may be available from project investigators or their respective agencies.

Giant grenadiers Albatrossia pectoralis are caught as bycatch in deep-sea commercial fisheries in relatively large numbers. The population appears to be stable, although there is no directed fishery, catch limits, or reporting requirements. The purpose of our study was to describe and quantify the reproductive life history characteristics and natural mortality of female giant grenadiers. During the summers of 2004 and 2006, a total of 338 specimens were collected from the Gulf of Alaska. Every phase of reproductive development was found, suggesting a protracted annual spawning season. An ovarian wall thickness technique was used to successfully place 31% (n 24) of the fish with an unknown maturity status into a known category. Female age at 50% maturity was 22.9 years, and preanal fin length at 50% maturity was 26 cm. Total fecundity ranged from 35,000 to 231,000 oocytes (mean106,761), with a mean mature oocyte diameter of 1.26 mm. We developed a new technique for preparing otoliths for age determination by grinding off the distal surface to elucidate the growth zones; age ranged from 14 to 58 years. Estimates of natural female mortality ranged from 0.052 to 0.079 and estimates of total female mortality from 0.061 to 0.149. This life history information will be essential for future management of giant grenadier populations in the North Pacific Ocean.

An experimental bottom longline survey was conducted at depths >1,000 m in the western Gulf of Alaska in August 2008. The objective was to investigate the abundance and biological characteristics of giant grenadier (Albatrossia pectoralis) and sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) in deep waters of the Gulf of Alaska that have not been previously sampled in fishery surveys. Several difficulties were encountered during the fishing operations which indicate special problems may occur when fishing longlines at these depths, including substantial gear drift after setting and hang-ups on the bottom that caused the longline to part. Although results were not conclusive because only stations in the western Gulf of Alaska were sampled, there was consistency in the results which provides an indication of fish abundance and distribution in depths >1,000 m. Catch rates of giant grenadier were relatively high, although not as large as those in nearby longline survey stations in depths <1,000 m. Female giant grenadier were much larger in size at the deep-water stations, and their weight averaged 69% greater than females at depths <1,000 m. Males, which comprise a low percentage of the catch in shallower water, were caught in much higher numbers at the deep-water stations. Catch rates for sablefish at the deep-water stations were extremely low, and it appears abundance of sablefish is negligible in the western Gulf of Alaska at depths >1,000 m. Besides giant grenadier, Pacific grenadier (Coryphaenoides acrolepis) was the only other species caught in substantial numbers. At one deep-water station, Pacific grenadier were extremely abundant and were caught on 56% of the longlines hooks.

Chum salmon populations from across their geographic distribution have been analyzed with a set of SNP and microsatellite markers. As is typical for chum salmon populations, more genetic divergence was observed on larger geographic scales than on smaller regional scales. Strong divergence exists within and among the three regions of Asia, western Alaska, and the northeast Pacific. However, separation of coastal western Alaskan summer-run chum salmon populations, from Norton Sound to northern Bristol Bay remains problematic. The degree of divergence determines the spatial scale to which stock proportions of mixtures of chum salmon can be resolved. The baseline developed in this project will be used for mixture analyses to study the marine distribution of chum salmon populations in the Bering Sea. Scale and fin samples collected in the eastern Bering Sea will be used to determine whether the stock composition of chum salmon aggregations differ across areas, seasonally, and annually. Determining the stock distributions of these mixtures will provide information on the migratory pathways of chum salmon in the Bering Sea and the potential impact of bycatch of coastal western Alaskan chum salmon in the Bering Sea pollock fishery.

Colonies of the gorgonian coral Calcigorgia spiculifera were tagged at three sites in Southeast Alaska, Little Port Walter, Tenakee Inlet, and Kelp Bay. The corals were videoed in situ. Growth of individual coral branches was determined from video observations. Average annual branch growth was greatest at Kelp Bay (8.8 mm) and lowest at Tenakee Inlet (3.0 mm). Branch growth was positively correlated with colony size.

Capelin are important forage fish in Alaska for marine mammals, birds, and predatory fish. Capelin prefer cold water and are very sensitive to changing environmental conditions. Population studies in the Arctic suggest that capelin migrate with temperature changes. During warm historical periods, capelin migrated through the Arctic Ocean to move between Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Strong preference for specific temperature regimes may cause some populations to become trapped in local refugia such as glacier fiords, if sea temperatures fluctuate. Preliminary data in our laboratory suggests that the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska capelin populations are genetically isolated. Based on their histories, we predict that capelin populations have strongly diverged in local refugia. Understanding the genetic structure of Alaska capelin populations will allow us to estimate whether these populations are isolated and how they might respond to warming environmental conditions. Results will provide crucial information to Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea ecosystem models.

Rougheye rockfish (Sebastes aleutianus) and shortraker rockfish (Sebastes borealis) were collected from the Washington coast, the Gulf of Alaska, the southern Bering Sea, and the eastern Kamchatka coast of Russia (areas encompassing most of their geographic distribution) for population genetic analyses. Using starch gel electrophoresis, we analyzed 1027 rougheye rockfish and 615 shortraker rockfish for variation at 29 protein coding loci. No genetic heterogeneity was found among shortraker rockfish throughout the sampled regions, although shortraker in the Aleutian Islands region, captured at deeper depths, were found to be significantly smaller in size than the shortraker caught in shallower waters from Southeast Alaska. Genetic analysis of the rougheye rockfish revealed two evolutionary lineages that exist in sympatry with little or no gene flow between them. When analyzed as two distinct species, neither lineage exhibited heterogeneity among regions. Sebastes aleutianus seems to inhabit waters throughout the Gulf of Alaska and more southern waters, whereas S. sp. cf. aleutianus inhabits waters throughout the Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Asia. The distribution of the two rougheye rockfish lineages may be related to depth where they are sympatric. The paler color morph, S. aleutianus, is found more abundantly in shallower waters and the darker color morph, Sebastes sp. cf. aleutianus, inhabits deeper waters. Sebastes sp. cf. aleutianus, also exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of two parasites, N. robusta and T. trituba, than did Sebastes aleutianus, in the 2001 samples, indicating a possible difference in habitat and (or) resource use between the two lineages.

We studied young of the year sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria to collect basic life history information on their abundance, growth, and diet and to determine whether forecasting year class abundance based on young of the year surveys was practical. Surface gillnet surveys were conducted annually from 1995 to 2004 along the seaward edge of the continental shelf of Alaska. Otoliths were extracted from a random subset of juvenile sablefish sampled by gillnet. This data set includes voucher otoliths from these studies.

How Did You Afford This, Emily & Denton T.?
We've all seen it: a Facebook or Instagram photo of someone we know showing off a big purchase. Sometimes we're happy for them, sometimes we're resentful, but one thing is usually true — we don't know the whole story. In "How Did You Afford This", we ask readers to let us know how they were able to afford big purchases in their lives. In this installment of the series, we are starting with one of the biggest investments any of us will ever make: home ownership.
- Location: Suburban in Denver, CO
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 3.5
- Type of Residence: Single Family Home
- Down payment percentage of home cost: 50%
CH: How old were you when you bought/when did you buy?
ET: I was 28, Denton was 32.
CH: If you have a domestic partner, are you both on the deed/loan? If not, why?
ET: Yes, we both are on our title and loan.
CH: Why did you decide to buy?
ET: We both owned homes before we got engaged because we knew that we want to live in Denver for the rest of our lives and it felt like the right time to invest. Denton's house was far away from our jobs and friends and my house was too small for us both to fit (one car garage, built in the 1940s, low ceilings- Denton is 6'5″) as we began our married life. So we agreed that neither of our homes would work for our future and began to decide what was important in a home to us and look.
CH: How long did you save until you started your home search and what percentage of the value of the home was your down payment? If you have a partner, did you split the down payment?
ET: We decided to sell my house as it had a higher value than Denton's and used that sale for our down payment on a new house. It was really hard getting my house ready to sell. We had to get it repainted, staged and maintain that high level while we had showings. We have kept Denton's house and are renting it out. We make a small profit off of it that we have put into a savings account for maintenance on both of our houses.
CH: Did anyone else contribute to the down payment? If so, what percentage of the down payment?
ET: No.

(reviewed at the HighTide Festival, Aldeburgh on 12 September)
This new play by Anders Lustgarten is a searing indictment of two contemporary evils, one national and the other international. It is a piece for two voices, one that of Stefano, a Sicilian fisherman whose work has degenerated from catching fish to feed people to pulling the bodies of dead migrants from the Mediterranean – that sea around whose shores western civilisation first took root.
The other character is Denise, who works for a pay-day loan company collecting overdue repayments. In its way, it is equally soul-destroying, but she has an invalid mother to support (much as the DWP would like to declare her fit for work, and thus save paying disability benefits). Anyway, her employers reckon that a woman has a better chance of success in collecting money than a man.
Because the writing is strong and committed, I kept on feeling – in spite of Steven Atkinson's production and the excellent performances by Steven Elder (Stefano) and Louise Mai Newberry (Denise) – that this would work much better on radio without the visual distractions furnished by a theatre-in-the-round production.
At the end, both characters are offered a glimpse of hope – Stefano through finding alive the wife of a distraught migrant, Denise through the kindness of a Portuguese woman client. But Lustgarten makes us aware that these are mere firefly glimmers in an increasingly dark world. We are never far from decay, even on the seashore.
Lampedusa continues in repertoire at the HighTide Dome until 19 September.

We've developed the perfect truly all-season duvet! No longer will you need to change your duvet for the seasons ..... natural breathable materials to keep you cool in the warmer months and cozy in the cooler months.
"Sleeping with the Séviere Mulberry Silk duvet is like sleeping in the clouds"
A luxurious and sensuous material, our mulberry silk is the finest available making the Séviere duvet quite the provocative experience as it drapes over the body. The shell is soft and lustrous at 383 thread-count made with 100% pure, combed and mercerized cotton.
Silk performs as it would in nature ......
Using 100% natural, organic and sustainable materials and filled with AAA Mulberry Silk the duvet is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial - completely suitable for asthmatics. It will resist dust-mites, bacteria, body odor, mold and mildew and is certified free from harmful substances by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 "Confidence in Textiles".
PLUS - for the wanderers .... our bedding comes in it's own cotton travel bag.
King sizes are 264cm x 230cm (104" x 90") suitable for both European and Californian King beds
Queen sizes are 230cm x 230cm (90" x 90")
The most effective way to care for your duvet is to use a duvet cover. The duvet cover is much easier to clean than your duvet. Ideally, hang your duvet outside for a few hours twice a year allowing the UV light and gentle breeze to freshen it up.
If the duvet becomes badly soiled, we recommend only using a reputable Dry Cleaner that is experienced in handling delicate and precious garments like high-end duvets and bridal gowns. They should ONLY be using safe, non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning solutions that are 'perc free'.
Séviere Duvets come with a 5-year defect Warranty against faulty manufacturing. A duvet cover MUST be used in this warranty period.
As we are dealing with natural products, it is not possible to provide a warranty for issues such as: shrinkage, pilling of fabric, stains/discoloring, soiling, burns, any odors from other fabrics and raw materials, damage due to abuse or moving, placed in washing machines or tumble dryers. Simply care for your duvet as per label instructions and your investment will adore you for many, many years.
A small amount of fill fiber 'drilling' through the fabric shell or stitching is considered normal and not a warranty issue.
**Warranty voided if any of the labels have been removed.
Séviere Designs will stand by our creations with a 30-day money back Guarantee. If the product is not as physically described herein, the UNUSED duvet and cotton bag can be returned and money will be refunded minus all shipping costs. For health reasons, the duvet must NOT have been used.

Question 1 - Is it possible to share the same WorkSets between MicroStation CONNECT, PowerDraft CONNECT, OpenRoads Designer, etc. without corrupting the .dgnws file?
That is have all of these CONNECT applications use the same _USTN_WORKSETSROOT location?
Question 2 - If a consultant creates Link Sets and Sheet Indexes in a WorkSet, can they send their .dgnws file along with the dgn's back to the client to retain the links and idexes?
2. Don't know, will have to discuss with colleagues.
Marc -
Did you ever get an answer on this? I'm trying to set up OpenRoads Designer and MicroStation CONNECT and keep getting prompted to change workset depending on which program I use (ORD workset names are different than CONNECT names).
Tom F.
Is there a reason you don't share the same worksets between ORD and MSTN? We have ours setup to do this and aren't seeing any noticeable issues. We actually share all of the configuration.
Thanks John, that's good to know. I'm in the early stages of configuring CONNECT and ORD and wasn't sure if sharing worksets\workspaces was an option. All the info I've found shows the setup for either ORD or CONNECT, never mentioning a mixed environment.
Tom F.
It was setup this way prior to me and I believe by Bentley so I am thinking its a legit way to configure the applications together.
For reference this really doesn't answer the second question by Rod. I forget how the pathing is stored for a sheet index. It may store the path as both Full and Relative. If it stores relative then it should be portable.
Any news on Question 2?
Hi Dominic,
Thanks for the reminder.
LinkSets are stored in DGNLIBs defined by MS_DGNLIBLIST_LINKS, they are portable.
A complete set of folders/files including a DGNWS should also be portable. I know I have moved projects from drive to drive and the DGNWS information has been retained, I have not tested sending a DGNWS and files as described.

"On Sunday, October 6th around 4:20 a.m., troopers from the State Police Danvers Barracks responded to a crash where a vehicle struck a utility pole on Route 1 in Saugus.
The crash caused a widespread power outage. When troopers arrived on scene, witnesses reported that the lone occupant and operator had fled on foot. Troopers requested K9 assistance and Trooper Dan Purtell of the K9 Unit responded.
On arrival, Trooper Purtell deployed K9 Neko using the vehicle's driver's side floor mat as a scent article. K9 Neko quickly acquired a scent and tracked for approximately a quarter-mile along Route 1 when he located the suspect lying prone and hiding in high grass along the highway.
The suspect was detained and after a brief investigation was placed under arrest by Trooper Louis Williams of the Danvers Barracks. The suspect was transported to the Danvers Barracks where he was booked for OUI alcohol and leaving the scene of a property damage crash. Troopers on scene were also assisted by Saugus Fire and Saugus Police Department."

The All Progressives Congress has vowed to reel out appropriate punishment against Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun for sponsoring thugs to throw stones and other objects at President Muhammadu Buhari and others guests at the APC rally on Monday.
The party spokesperson, Mallam Isa Lanre-Onilu who stated this in a statement on Tuesday established that the party is convinced that Amosun premeditated the attacks.
"The All Progressives Congress (APC) regrets Monday's premeditated attacks sponsored by Governor Ibikunle Amosun on President Muhammadu Buhari and other senior party leaders at the venue of the presidential campaign rally in Ogun state. "This is one act of indiscipline too many. The APC will not condone acts of indiscipline, indiscretion and anti-party activities from any party member no matter how highly placed.
"The party will review this gross misconduct of deliberately positioning thugs to attack and embarrass the President and the party's leadership. The party will take a decision on this matter immediately after the elections.
"It must be stated that party supremacy and discipline according to our constitution are not matters of choice but binding principles which must be adhered to by ALL party members.
"The APC is a party known for discipline, justice, fairness and equality hence any plan to destroy what this party stands for would be rejected. No single person will be allowed to put his personal and selfish interests ahead of the wishes of the people of Ogun state and elsewhere.
"Post primaries, the decision of the National Working Committee to uphold the wishes of party members is unbendable. Therefore, whatever means being presently deployed by persons intending to undermine the wishes of the people for personal gains will not be tolerated.
"We urge our teeming party supporters and members not to be disturbed by Monday's condemnable incident. We urge all to continue trooping out enmasse for our remaining campaigns and vote massively for ALL and ONLY APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections."

B.C. Premier Christy Clark should consider squeezing in "a little democracy" into her government, according to journalist Evan Solomon.
Mr. Solomon, the host of CBC's flagship politics show Power and Politics, delivered the critique in an open letter to the premier.
House Leader Mike de Jong announced last week the B.C. legislature wouldn't be sitting until next February, when it delivers the budget. That could mean MLAs are on an eight-month break from sessions, as they haven't sat since May.
That's just too long without facing the accountability of opposition parties in Question Period, Mr. Solomon wrote.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to ask you [Ms. Clark] about your planned wage freeze for public sector managers, including those at schools, universities and health organizations," he wrote.
"And what about those pipeline opponents and their planned mass sit-in at the B.C. legislature in October? Well, too bad the legislature won't be sitting then."
The B.C. Liberals have not been having a good month. They trail the NDP in the polls and many high-profile members of the party have announced they're stepping down, including the finance and education ministers.
Given the province's looming budget hole, though, maybe you can't blame Mr. de Jong for wanting a bit of focus.

- It has the same old black and silver body design, of course nothing impressive about it.
- It feels durable in hand.
- There are two buttons for the Menu and Back functions below the screen.
- There's also a fragile D-button which is used to return to the home screen, long-press takes you to the task manager which allows you to see recently used apps.

…Dismisses petitions against 12 judges, warns 3 judges against misconduct
Toyin Akinfolajimi
The National Judicial Council NJC on Friday ordered Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Justice Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court and four others to resume their judicial duties with effect from June 7.
Other judges billed to resume on Wednesday are Justice Uwani Abba Aji of the Court of Appeal; Justice Hydiazira A. Nganjiwa of the Federal High Court, Justice Musa H. Kurya of the Federal High Court and Justice Agbadu James Fishim of National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
The Council had earlier on November 2, 2016 asked the judges to recuse themselves from duties on the request of the Attorney-General of the Federation pending the outcome of investigations against them.
The judges were arrested by the DSS on October 7 and 8, 2016 after a raid on their respective official apartment.
Out of all the judges arrested, only three have been charged to Court, namely; Justice N. S. Ngwuta, of the Supreme Court of Nigeria;Justice A. F. A. Ademola of the Federal High Court; and
Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, also of the Federal High Court.
The rest judges were not charged before any court till date.
However, out of the three judges charged before the court, only Justice Ademola was discharged and acquitted. The trials of Justices Ngwuta and Ajumogobia are still on going.
Justice Jude Okeke of an Abuja High Court had discharged and acquitted of the corruption charge slammed against the Justice Ademola, his wife,Olubowale and his family lawyer, Joe Agi SAN.
According to a statement issued by the spokesperson of the Council, Soji Oye, the counil recalled the judges at its 82nd meeting held in Abuja.
According to the statement, touncil also at the meeting, decided to warn Justice M. N. Esowe of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Justice Adolphus Enebeli of the High Court of Justice, Rivers State and Justice Bassey Frank Etuk of the Akwa-Ibom State High Court for different offences and place two of them on the "Watch List" of the Council.
The council's decision to give Justice Esowe a serious warning and put her on its "Watch List" for one year, was sequel to a petition written against her by Mr. Jimmy Dirisu Aliu, alleging injustice for failing to deliver ruling in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/394/2013, until eight (8) months after the final address of counsel on Notice of Preliminary objection to his Suit.
The Council also decided to giveJustice Adolphus Enebeli serious warning and place him on its "Watch-List" for three years following its 'findings' that Justice Enebeli violated the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by granting ex-parte order in Suit No. PHC/983/2016, preventing the swearing-in of Victoria Wodo Nyeche as a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, when the claim in the Suit did not border on qualification or pre-election matter.
The Judge was said to have granted the ex-parte order on 19th April, 2016, three days to the swearing-in ceremony and adjourned the case to 21st April, 2016 when the ceremony had been concluded.
Justice Bassey Frank Etuk was warned following a petition written against him by Oro Youth Movement for failure to deliver judgment in Suit No. HOR/FHC/97/2014, a Fundamental Human Right case, after hearing it to conclusion and adjourned same for judgment to the 8th June, 2015.
The Judge then proceeded on National assignment as an Election Petition Tribunal member and did not deliver the judgment even after his return in November, 2015, when he transferred the case file to the Chief Judge for it to start de-novo.
The Suit was filed by two officers of the Movement to prevent the police from arresting them after they were reported for embezzling the sum of N20, 000.000.00 (Twenty Million Naira) from the account of the movement.
The Council also considered and dismissed petitions written against twelve other Judicial Officers.
The Council dismissed the petitions because three of the Petitioners withdrew their petitions against Justice T. U. Uzokwe, Chief Judge, Abia State, Justice Okoroafor of the Abia State High Court and Justice Judge Okeke of the FCT High Court of Justice.
Another petition written against Justice H. A. Nganjiwa of the Federal High Court was also dismissed for subjudice.
Other petitions written against Justices Adamu Abdu-Kafarati and O. E. Abang, both of the Federal High Court, Justices Mobolaji Ojo, and E. O. Osinuga, both of the Ogun State High Court, Justice B. A. Oke-Lawal of Lagos State High Court, HJustice A. A. Aderemi of Oyo State, Ntong F. Ntong of Akwa-Ibom State High Court and the second petition written against Justice Bassey Frank Etuk of Akwa-Ibom State High Court of Justice were found unmeritorious.

Johnny Kahakaloha -- water life on Maui, enduring Molokai 2 Oahu
In episode 87 I speak with Johnny Kahakaloha, a man who has found his calling on land and the water of Maui. Johhny talks story of moving to Maui and immersing himself in local Hawaiian culture within the town of Kahakuloa where he learned how to live off of the land and be in harmony with the natural world around him, all while remotely running a highly successful record label company. Johnny tells the story of his entry into the world of paddling starting with the outrigger canoe and moving to the SUP where today Johnny is a regular in the waves and downwind courses on Maui. We hear of the strong community of Maui board paddlers and people who have influenced Johnny to take on one of the biggest paddle challenges on the planet, Molokai 2 Oahu. Johnny shares his story of deciding to paddle M2O in 2019 three weeks before the race and his intense training he went through to prepare. Johnny then shares a super heavy story of being stuck in 30-knot wind less than 2-miles from the M2O finish line and having to dig deep to persevere and finish the race. Throughout, we hear a great perspective from Johnny on finding and pursuing passion in life.
Thanks for sharing Johnny's ocean life with us. Be sure to check out photos and videos of Johnny on Instagram.

The idea of planning for your own death can be frightening for many people. However, it's a reality that everyone must deal with. That's why estate planning is such an important task for us. We want our families to be set up when we pass on and help them deal with the grieving process without having to deal with a bunch of legal and financial work. A great estate planning attorney can help your last wishes come true and ensure that your family is provided for in the event of your untimely demise. The benefits of an estate plan are numerous. Let's take a look at why you need an estate plan below.
1. Help Provide for Your Family
We want the best for our families, and an estate plan can certainly help us provide for them after we are gone. If you don't have an estate plan, your family will get fewer assets and it will take much longer for them to receive them. This can add stress to your family members and even cause them to quarrel with other family members. Instead, you should work with an estate planning attorney to set your family up for when you are gone.
2. Reduce Your Taxes
Would you rather pay the government or have your family receive the money when you pass away? With a great estate plan, you can minimize your tax burden and help your family members receive the maximum amount of money. Working with an estate planning lawyer can help to get more money to your family instead of paying taxes, which is a great reason to pursue estate planning.
3. Help Your Family Avoid Difficult Decisions
Imagine what it would be like for your family members to have to decide whether or not to keep you in a coma or to let you pass on? If you create an estate plan, you can provide details in your will about what to do in those types of decisions so that your family doesn't have to make those burdensome choices on their own. It's your life, so why not put down how you want to proceed in life or death situation in a legal manner?
4. Send Money to Charity
If you want to outline philanthropic intentions for your assets, you need to have an estate plan that details everything clearly. The sooner you start to plan, the better. You can tell your family and estate planning lawyer which causes you would like to support and how much you want to support them. You can set up a charitable trust or a family foundation to create a positive legacy long after you are gone.
Creating an estate plan is absolutely essential if you care about your family and want to make sure all of your wishes are upheld after you pass away. Remember that you can always reach out to Derryberry & Associates LLP for help with all of your estate planning needs.

Hardly known despite the band's historical importance, Los Pepes from Valencia released an LP in 1966 with totally new material (there wasn't a single cover version on it; they wrote all their own songs), which back in the Spanish rock scene in the 60s was an extraordinary feat. Everything about Los Pepes is surprising. The five-piece band fell into the hands of the tiny Madrid-based label Hit, then headed off from Valencia to Barcelona in order to record an album under the name of Los Singals (the name the group started off with, combining the words singer and cymbal) and returned with an LP recorded under the new name of Los Pepes. In the studio, the producers (Ernesto Duarte, the great Cuban musician, who was based in Madrid and owned the small independent label, and Pepe Palau, the radio DJ who would go on to present the memorable Ritmo 70 show on TVE with José María Iñigo) had decided the band members would all be called Pepe from then on.
Green, inexperienced and dazzled by the adventure before them, I'd like to think that, buoyed up by the confidence of their backers and lacking the safety net that cover versions gave garage-beat groups, the new Pepes ended up triumphing in the recording studio laying down a dozen new tracks (which was truly exceptional at the time, Los Brincos being the only other group to record just their own material) and illuminating us with an excellent album full of songs delivering scope, meaningful lyrics and carefully crafted arrangements, some of which would go down rightfully in the annals of garage music in Spain.
Los Pepes produced one excellent song after another: the ferocious "Ríndete", a textbook nugget, wins people over every time it plays; "Por favour" is definitely one of the highlights of the LP, each time you listen to it you discover unexpected nuances thanks to the tremendous energy compressed into two very intense minutes and the triumphant guitar solo, which is raw, lyrical and unlike anything else heard in Spain before. Other tracks such as "Quiero amar", "Rojo" (which was later released as a single) or "Tú tienes que volver" offer a contrasting folk rock vein with psychedelic touches; gentle medium tempo songs with swaying crystalline guitars.
After completing the hard part (recording an LP), the record failed to get half decent distribution and languished in the shadows. In the mid-90s the mysterious bankruptcy and disappearance of the inappropriately named Hit label became clearer when stock started to appear, rescued from an old warehouse, the barely one hundred copies of the LP that had been saved began flooding record fairs and the memory of the band from Valencia slowly started to be restored.
It is surprising to come across such an extraordinary record with such an unfortunate trajectory, evoking an austere musical venture, created far from the centres of the Spanish record industry. Nonetheless, it's a bold proposition, which after suffering all manner of setbacks, has had to wait half a century to be reissued. At last, the high standards Los Pepes set can now exceed the expectations of even the most knowledgeable fans.

Sony is certainly no stranger to the mid-range market, and over the years they've released a number of different devices, mostly in order to stimulate sales in emerging markets and the Far East. Devices like the recently launched Xperia E4 are designed to offer a taste of what Sony has to offer in higher-end devices like the Xperia Z line, but in a more affordable package. Starting last year, Sony started to offer a selfie-focused smartphone, the Xperia C3, in order to capture some of the buzz surrounding the selfie in the Far East. Now, we're seeing leaks of what could be a successor of sorts to the Xperia C3, the Xperia Cosmos.
That name, Xperia Cosmos, certainly doesn't sound like something Sony would go with, after all the Japanese firm is more fond of using letters and numbers to differentiate between different models. However, a recent leak that shows off the Bluetooth pane of the settings on the upcoming device clearly shows the name "Xperia Cosmos". If I do the same on my Xperia Z2, right in the same place is the name "Xperia Z2" in the Bluetooth settings. Still, this could just be a codename as the final hardware has yet to have a final name, be it an Xperia E, Xperia C or something else entirely.
The latest leak of the device shows off what appears to be a pretty large front-facing camera, as well as a flash to the side of it. These aren't immediately all that easy to make out, but they are there. This would suggest that this is a successor to the Xperia C3, itself a 5.5-inch device powered a Snapdragon 400 with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. An update to the Xperia C3 could sell well in the Far East, where the selfie is practically a way of life for young people. Sony has already released the Xperia E4 this year, and as the company has said that the Xperia Z line is not moving to a yearly release cycle then a launch of the Xperia Z4 can't be too far away, and the Xperia Cosmos might be coming along for the ride.

hi warren,
great job you have done for evaluation all signal providers. are there any good signal providers please advise.
thank you.
sebastian Nai (Singapore )
Forex GDP is among the most popular signal providers on the web. Being that they are popular and are serving a big number of audience across the globe, there's a huge chance that this signal provider is controversial as well.
The website can be found on this domain Forexgdp.com. When you look at it the first time, you will think that it's a blog because the overall theme of that website is that of a blog, not a typical signal provider.
Also, part from selling Forex signals, Forex GDP sells trading strategies at various prices. The least amount of money that one can use to buy a Forex trading strategy from them is $60. The highest we've seen people spending on this service is $3800, although they also have an option to purchase strategies as a bundle. If you purchase trading strategy as a bundle, you'll supposedly save some some money.
The basic pack or bundle of trading strategies, which often consists of short term scalping Forex strategies costs $1500. The most expensive product in this category costs $4,600.
As you can see, this is not the cheapest service one can use on the internet when it comes to buying Forex signals or strategies.
So, the big question is this: can you pay this much to use their signal service? Is it even worth using the services of Forex GDP?
👉 Want to make money automatically with Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies without the risk of trading yourself? Are you ready for self-custody of your investment funds?

Forex GDP claims that they have a team of expert professional Forex traders and market analysts who have between 15 to 20 years of experience. Some of them allegedly work with big financial institutions around the world, while others have at least worked with a financial institution.
However, we can't confirm if this is true since the names of the so-called professional traders haven't been mentioned anywhere. Instead, they are introduced as ghost traders with up to 20 years of experience in the Forex market. It's just too difficult to believe these claims because they are unverifiable.
Well, Forex GDP could be speaking the truth. But at the same time, they could be speaking a lie. What makes it entirely impossible for the owner of this service to lie about their qualifications, especially now that their traders haven't been introduced by name?
We spent a few minutes familiarizing ourselves with their website. At first, we thought it was just a personal blog. But then it turned out that they were selling signals and trading strategies as well.
Forex GDP offers a mix of both free and paid Forex education service. When we looked at their free education, we found that the content was thin, and only suitable for a beginner who was looking to learn simple definitions such as "what is Forex?"
As mentioned before, their paid education service comes at a cost — and it's not a small cost.
They claim that this service was started by a group of traders from the US, Singapore, Thailand, India, Dubai and UK. On the other hand, some users have accused them for being cheap Indian operators who know nothing about Forex other than ripping off unsuspecting subscribers. Whether or not this is true can't be confirmed. But the mere fact that Forex GDP has done nothing to address these accusations means that there is some truth in these complaints.
These anonymous traders are introduced as people who have worked with Financial Institutions, Forex brokers, MT4 dealers, you name it. There is nowhere in the world that these "expert Forex traders" who operate Forex GDP have not worked at.
This definitely begs the question of why these people haven't been introduced in a professional way. If indeed Forex GDP was being run by the top Fund managers with 20 years of experience, they would have introduced them by name and their work history. It would have been much easier to verify their professional records from companies which they claim to have worked at. Unfortunately, the owner of Forex GDP is too cautious not to go in this direction. To us, this is a big red flag.
First off, signals are delivered in the email and through Whatsapp. When you subscribe for a premium price (and depending on your plan), you should be able to receive your Forex signals through email or on whatsapp.
The risk to reward ratio of these signals is 1 : 1 to 1 : 8. The website even boasts that this ration can even be more favorable than this depending on market conditions and trade setups.
SL ranges from 10 to 100 pips. On the other hand, take profit ranges from 30 to 600 pips per trade.
According to their FAQ section, it's impossible to lose with their signals because they work with many professional market analysts and Forex traders. When a "professional market analysts" losses a trader, they are not allowed to continue with that trade. Instead, a new analyst is ushered on board to continue with that trade. This is allegedly the best way to deal with psychological issues that affect the decision-making process of professional traders.
We like this explanation very much. But how do you explain it when many users keep saying that this service loses money all the time? Did Forex GDP suddenly stop replacing their "professional Forex traders?"
Forex GDP is on the forefront of warning investors not to waste money with websites that can't prove their track records. In fact, they warn users not to trust any website that shows supposed live trade performance.
Now, it is widely accepted that anyone who claims to trade Forex must have a myfxbook account where they can showcase their trading activities to those who doubt their track records. It's the only convenient way for professional traders to prove what they are capable of doing.
Do screenshots play the role of a verified myfxbook account? Absolutely not. Anyone who wants to use screenshots to show you just how successful they've been trading the Forex market is definitely having an ill motive.
Forex GDP has been accused of not posting their lost trades on their website. Instead, they only post trades that became successful.
There are a lot of nasty customer
on forums like Forex Peace Army.
At the same time, positive customer reviews exist. But those who complain against Forex GDP website claim that the positive reviews are from fake users. This could be true given that Forex GDP doesn't have any verifiable track record or trading performance.
Some users even claim that they received signals that lost trades in a row. When they complained, they were totally ignored. This is after they had paid $147 in subscription fees.
Many users also complain that Forex GDP does not reply to whatsapp messages especially if a customer appears to be very inquisitive about their reluctance to post their losing trades.
It's surprising that despite all the complaints out there, no one from Forex GDP has come out to address these clients. It's not professional at all. In fact, it points to the fact that this might be a scam.
Also, since they lack a trade record, we cannot recommend them to our readers here. It would be a major disaster to do so. Stick with these trading products/services instead.
hi warren,

sebastian Nai (Singapore )
Hi warren,
i tried their free forex signals, it's good. i am thinking to subscribe for their supreme membership. if i ask how can i trust your service, they replied me "You can try our free service until you satisfied, later you can join in paid signal plan" So, i feel they are genuine. Their technical a***ysis charts is very clear.
Forexgdp signals are ok, i tried their free service, it is fine. But i'm expecting more trading signals per day.
Their signals are good, but need more signals. if i need more, i need to join in their premium or supreme signal service. i understand they focus on quality trade signal. So far, in free membership, the signals are going fine.

text: Ahead of Farnborough's annual Air Show running July 14-20, Colin Cieszynski looks at the expectations of this year and what this could mean for the aerospace industry. Within the report Colin discusses: • How aircraft manufacturers use the air show to announce new orders and programmes • The expectations of this year's air show looking at Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier • Whether Boeing's shares are vulnerable to a correction The Farnborough Air Show, which alternates with Paris as the aerospace industry's main event of the year, is fast approaching, running July 14-20 this year. Historically, the trade show element of the event which runs for the first four days is a key showcase for the industry. Aircraft manufacturers tend to use the event to announce large orders, launch new aircraft programs and debut new aircraft when ready to fly. This year, there aren't any major new aircraft programs expected to be launched, so the struggles of aircraft in testing may be a dominant theme of the shows both Airbus (with the A350) and Bombardier (with the CSeries) are looking for a turnaround from recent problems. Boeing comes into this year's show with the best momentum, having 499 net orders for aircraft after accounting for 54 cancellations. It appears to have put the teething pains of its 787 Dreamliner program behind it and is bringing its new 787-9 aircraft to the show. Airbus, meanwhile, has only booked 290 net orders after being knocked down by 225 cancellations, including the loss of a $16 billion order for 70 A350 planes from Emirates. For Airbus, the road to catching up to Boeing in order flow starts at Farnborough. Bombardier heads into the show looking to bounce back from recent struggles following an engine fire during CSeries testing and the loss of the Air Canada contract, considered a potentially large customer. Success in the regional jet, business jet or turboprop markets, or an indication of when flight testing on the CSeries may resume could attract attention. With the potential for major announcements, the days running up to and following the Farnborough and Paris Air shows tend to be active for trading in aerospace stocks. The table below shows that over the last ten years, aerospace stocks have seen a bounce during and after the shows. Aircraft and engine producers have tended to show similar performance while European companies have outperformed their American counterparts in recent years. Looking at individual stocks, there has been a significant difference in trading action between Boeing and EADS, with Boeing tending to outperform ahead of the show and EADS outperforming on average once the show actually starts. This could be due to EADS having greater success in exceeding street order expectations at some of the shows, and perhaps also due to a home field advantage. There also is a significant difference in regional jet producers. Bombardier and Embraer have historically performed similarly ahead of the show but after the start Embraer has then outperformed Bombardier by a wide margin. This could be related to Bombardier's continuing struggles in attracting CSeries orders overshadowing successes in other programs. Stock in Focus: Boeing Although Boeing appears to have strong business momentum heading into Farnborough, its stock appears to have stalled after a big run in 2013. In recent months, the shares have been trading in the $120-$145 range. A recent correction appears to have run its course with the RSI bouncing up off oversold levels indicating selling pressure has started to ease heading into the show, potentially setting the stage for a rebound within its established trading range.

The Trinity -- By: H. B. Smith
Journal: Bibliotheca Sacra
Volume: BSAC 003:12 (Nov 1846)
Article: The Trinity
Author: H. B. Smith
BSac 3:12 (Nov 1846) p. 760
The Trinity
Introductory Note
[There are several reasons which might be urged, for presenting in the pages of this Review such a discussion of the doctrine of the Trinity as is contained in this article. In the first place, the article is of interest in connection with the present condition of German theology. Since the times when a negative Rationalism prevailed in that country, it is the first elaborate attempt to uphold this doctrine in its orthodox form. These lectures of Dr. Twesten awakened a new interest in this subject among the Germans; and in the more recent discussions, they are uniformly referred to with respect, and as an authority. In the second place, it is of value for the historical materials with which it is filled. While it does not profess to contain a history of the doctrine, it shows on every page the thorough study which the author has bestowed upon the works of the ablest theologians. The subsequent sections are especially valuable, as exhibiting the force and pertinency of many of the distinctions of the Scholastics. No treatise by English or American theologians with which we are acquainted, contains so much of valuable material from like sources. It might be urged, again, that every thorough and fair-minded disquisition upon a doctrine of so much importance, should be received with candor, and may be read with profit, because it may disclose some new aspects and relations of an inexhaustible truth. No doctrine presents itself to every mind in the same relations; and the more important the doctrine, and the more thorough the study of it, the greater variety will there be in the modes of its application and illustration. The more we love a doctrine, the more shall we think about it: and the more we think about it, the more shall we see its connection with other truths; and every one who reverences and loves and thinks about the truth, may aid us in our own studies, even though we do not think all his speculations sound. In the fourth place, in respect to this particular doctrine, it is well known, that the most ortho-
BSac 3:12 (Nov 1846) p. 761
dox divines, while assenting to the fundamental formula, have differed in the way in which they have explained and defended it; and this fact should keep us from arguing that an exposition which is new to us, is therefore an unwarrantable speculation and a hazardous tampering with the faith. The doctrine is contained in the Bible, and it rests upon the authority of the Bible; and this is what Dr. Twesten maintains. But the formula is not in the Bible; and the business of the theologian who embraces this formula is, to show that it best expresses the true sense of the Scriptures, and to defend it against philosophical and other objections. We who hold the same formula, may p...

Sentence of alleged crime boss in extortion case takes effect
MOSCOW, November 28 (RAPSI) – The Moscow City Court on Wednesday upheld prison sentence given to the alleged criminal lord Zachary Kalashov, also known as Shakro Molodoy, as part of a criminal case over extortion of 8 million rubles (about $120,000), RAPSI correspondent reports from the courtroom.
The sentence therefore became effective.
In March, the Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow sentenced Kalashov, to 9 years and 10 months in a high security penal colony.
His accomplice Andrey Kotchuykov received 8 years and 10 months while other defendants were sentenced to jail terms varying from 7 years and 4 months to 9 years and 4 months. They were found guilty of an extortion committed on an especially large scale by an organized group.
Their terms were also upheld Wednesday.
The alleged gang leader is believed to be involved in a shootout near the Elements restaurant in Moscow that left two persons dead. Investigators believe that Kalashov has organized an extortion of 8 million rubles from the restaurant owner.
Kalashov is also related to a bribery case against high-ranking investigators Denis Nikandrov and Mikhail Maksimenko. On March 19, he denied his connection to either of them.
According to prosecutors, in 2016, Maksimenko and his accomplice received $500,000 bribe for help with one of criminal cases. Maksimenko is also charged with taking $50,000 bribe in 2015 for organizing unlawful criminal prosecution of law enforcement officers in the interests of a bribe-giver. He has been arrested along with other high-ranking investigators, his deputy Alexander Lamonov and the First Deputy Head of the Investigative Committee's Moscow Directorate, General Denis Nikandrov.
In addition, investigators believe that they extorted 10 million rubles (about $150,000) from a head of a large joint-stock company. The defendants denied their connections to Kalashov.

text: In the past we have written about the informal farming group of which we are a part. The group was started over a year ago following an annual conference, to provide communal work days at each of the four farms. It has become a steadfast support system of shared knowledge, skilled hands, willing labor and emotional "scaffolding". These are the "Fairy Weeders" that came to our rescue early in the season this year as our lives reeled out of control. We have been so lucky to count these folks among our friends, and even more so when we were joined by a journalist who thought our group was interesting. After a year of joining in our adventures our talented writer-friend summed up each of our farming operations and our shared reliance on one another. You can read Joshua Doležal's article which appears in the current issue of The Iowan Magazine.

The Benefits of Geranium Essential Oil - An Ancient, Natural Remedy
Geranium History and Classification
The name Geranium refers to a genus of approximately 422 species of flowering plants that are primarily found in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, despite being found in other tropical regions the world over.
The cranesbill, as it's more commonly known has symmetrical flowers, with seed heads that have the same shape as a crane! In fact, the genus name is derived from the Greek word geranos which literally means crane. That said, within the genus itself there has historically been some confusion between the Geranium and the Pelargonium.
The "true" Geranium and Pelargonium plants were initially classified under the same genus in the 18th century, and although later 19th century classifications separated the two, true Geraniums and Pelargoniums are often confused. We can visually observe the difference in the two below.
The majority of "Geranium" essential oil is actually made from plants of the Pelargonium genus, not the Geranium genus. Because the plants quickly hybridize, the individual species used to produce the oil is of lesser importance.
The Pelargonium itself is a short and hardy perennial shrub, which is today mainly grown in Eygpt and China, despite hailing from South Africa, where it was introduced to European monarchies in the late 16th century.[1]
Top 3 Benefits of Geranium Essential Oil:
Helps Reduce Anxiety
There's a reason we chose Geranium Essential oil to headline MOXE Peace. Around a quarter of the United States population admits to suffering from a combination of stress and anxiety, and more than likely this number is significantly beneath the actual number due to the stigma attatched to both of these conditions.
Aromatherapy is one of the many solutions being researched to treat this epidemic, and we want you to have the evidence. When inhaled, Geranium Essential Oil was demonstrated to significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels when compared to a test group.[2] These findings confirm that many ancient cultures, including the Eygptians, were spot on in their choice to use Geranium essential oil to reduce stress. There have also been numerous studies indicating that Geranium Essential oil may be used as a compliment for treating mild depression, including a study by the Japanese in 2005.[3]
May Help Lower Blood Pressure
According to the American Heart Association 1 in 3 adults in the United States suffer from high blood pressure, with the prevalance expected to increase by 7.3% from the 2013 estimates presented.
While there are a number of ways to treat this condition, Aromatherapy is entering the discussion as a possible way to help manage this condition. Consider that, according to a 2006 study of 58 women, which used Geranium oil as part of a aromatic therapy, the experimental group produced "significant differences in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure" after an 8 week treatment.[4] While more research into this area needs to be done, this is an exciting development into a potentially lifechanging remedy for the millions suffering from hypertension.
May Help Reduce Menstrual Symptoms
Each woman is different, but we can all agree that PMS and menstrual cramping suck. There are a number of different ways to address the hormonal causes of both of these issues, from changes in your diet and exercise to reducing stress. However, recent studies have also supported the idea that aromatherapy can help as well.
A 2011 study assessed high school girls and asked them to rate their menstrual pain prior to recieving aromatic therapy. The treatment group reported significantly higher reductions in menstrual pain than the control group.[5] While additional scientific study into this conclusion is worthwhile, this is a positive and noteworthy development to consider.
How to Best Use Geranium Essential Oil
There's a number of different ways to use Geranium Essential Oil, but the most important part of it is understanding that undiluted essential oils are powerful, and should be used with caution if not using a pre-made blend. The first step is diluting the oil in a carrier oil. In our experience, you should use dilute 1 drop of Geranium oil in 4ml of a carrier oil like almond oil. If you plan on using it topically, test it on a small area of your skin and wait 24 hours to make sure you do not experience any adverse effects.
At MOXE, we personally love putting a drop on a steaming hot towel, and then enjoying the therapedic steam effect. Geranium also is great to use with aromatherapy bracelets and necklaces, as it's calming properties can be useful for those of us under a lot of stress. If you need a quick fix to help relieve an anxiety attack or mounting stress, you can simply rub a drop of diluted oil between your hands and cup them to your nose.
Geranium also works great in a standard aromatherapy diffuser. Combine it with sweeter smelling oils like blood orange, or something a little bit more powerful like cinnamon. Or, if you want to enjoy the benefits of Geranium on the go, a nasal inhaler can be a convient way to take aromatherapy with you.

I said hey brown girl I seen tears through the window of the junk shop
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the promise land let you down?
I said hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me
Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from
Sometimes I feel like a stranger, I feel like a stranger
I'm just another face in a faceless crowd, I'm just another king in a headless
I'm so alone. y'know I live here in this city, but this place it just ain't
Nobody's home
Now how many times do I got to tell you?
There's no such thing as a man made world
Now how many times do I got to tell you?
There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl
Sometimes I feel like stranger, and I feel even stranger
I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had another chance
You see, I got a happy family, but that's oh so far away
You see, I've got it all here inside me, but I just can't seem to get it out
But I know with a little imagination we can work this whole goddamn thing out
Oh don't make me feel so strange, and I feel even stranger

Don't complain too much! (?)
dougkSunday, 20 January 2019 - 10:01am
There are occasions where the actions or inaction of a council can be totally frustrating. Their decisions can appear dictatorial and their service levels lamentable. When we feel we have been badly wronged by council it can be so tempting to let off steam and to harangue council staff or even councillors. But we must constrain ourselves from that temptation.
Council staff are entitled to a workplace free from harassment and bullying. Those in the front-line in particular are usually the ones who cop the main onslaught from an angry ratepayer. Their capacity to respond is limited by the instructions and policies emanating from senior staff. They may not even be permitted to escalate our issue; to put us through or forward our concern to staff with any decision-making power. We need to treat them with courtesy and respect.
To address how to deal with complaining ratepayers, MidCoast Council has developed a 31-page Draft Unreasonable Complainant Conduct Policy. Download it and have a read.
Personally I think the policy misses its mark by a mile. It comes across as heavy-handed - with the council, the subject of the complaint, acting as prosecutor, judge, executioner and appeals court. It is not going ameliorate any real or imagined grievance. Its overly bureaucratic mechanisms are likely to exacerbate tensions rather than reduce them.
What council perceives as a vexatious complainant may be someone with a genuine grievance perhaps without the ability to articulate it clearly. Perhaps their grievance is based on a misunderstanding. Maybe they are just wrong. But sending them to the naughty corner is not a solution.
The first step to resolving any grievance is to have someone properly listen to the aggrieved party. It is best if that someone is independent, not part of the same "system" to which the grievance relates. Often, once the heat is taken out, an acceptable way forward can be negotiated. The proposed policy actually reduces the opportunity for an aggrieved ratepayer to be heard.
If a council is encountering so many complaints that it feels it needs a policy as detailed and heavy-handed as this then it may be time for that council to do a bit of genuine introspection. Undertake some analysis of the complaints received. That will give some clues.
Are there fundamental problems with management style, delegations or organisational structure? Are council policies and decision-making practices not well-aligned with community needs? Is council perceived as in-opposition-to rather than in-partnership-with the community it serves? Is council's focus and accessibility not seen as equitable across the whole region? Can council improve the way it communicates and explains the decisions it makes?
If there are many unresolved complaints then that is symptomatic of some underlying systemic problems with the council itself. A healthy, responsive council will receive fewer complaints.
But hey. That's just my view. What do you think? Make a submission.
