Q: Why my Heroku app is not loading any data while opening in other devices even though my database is connected? I recently deployed my NodeJS application on heroku from git, it deployed successfully and running on my local machine without any fail. But when opening on other devices, the data stored in Database is not loading up. I also allowed my atlas IP whitelist to access from all devices. I couldn't able to find the mistake.
Here is my App.js file,

    require("dotenv").config();

    const mongoose = require("mongoose");
    const express = require("express");
    const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
    const cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
    const cors = require("cors");
    const path = require("path");

    const app = express();

    const authRoutes = require("./routes/auth");
    const userRoutes = require("./routes/user");
    const categoryRoutes = require("./routes/category");
    const productRoutes = require("./routes/product");
    const orderRoutes = require("./routes/order");
    const stripeRoutes = require("./routes/stripepayment");

    //Middle wares
    app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: "50mb" }));
    app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: "50mb", extended: true }));
    app.use(cookieParser());
    app.use(cors());

    // Database connection
    mongoose
      .connect(process.env.DATABASE_URL, {
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true,
        useCreateIndex: true,
      })
      .then(() => {
        console.log("DB CONNECTED");
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log("ERROR", err);
      });

    //Routes
    app.use("/api", authRoutes);
    app.use("/api", userRoutes);
    app.use("/api", categoryRoutes);
    app.use("/api", productRoutes);
    app.use("/api", orderRoutes);
    app.use("/api", stripeRoutes);

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
      //Set static folder
      app.use(express.static("client/build"));

      app.get("*", (req, res) => {
        res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "client", "build", "index.html"));
      });
    }

    //server
    app.listen(process.env.PORT || 7000, "0.0.0.0", () => {
      console.log(`App is running at 7000`);
    });

Kevin Phillips has 2 media appearances.
Kevin Phillips discusses The Politics of Rich and Poor: Wealth and the American Electorate in the Reagan Aftermath.
In 1775, iconoclastic historian and bestselling author Kevin Phillips punctures the myth that 1776 was the watershed year of the American Revolution. He suggests that the great events and confrontations of 1775—Congress's belligerent economic ultimatums to Britain, New England's rage militaire, the exodus of British troops and expulsion of royal governors up and down the seaboard, and the new provincial congresses and hundreds of local committees that quickly reconstituted local authority in Patriot hands—achieved a sweeping Patriot control of territory and local government that Britain was never able to overcome. These each added to the Revolution's essential momentum so when the British finally attacked in great strength the following year, they could not regain the control they had lost in 1775.
Analyzing the political climate, economic structures, and military preparations, as well as the roles of ethnicity, religion, and class, Phillips tackles the eighteenth century with the same skill and insights he has shown in analyzing contemporary politics and economics. The result is a dramatic narrative brimming with original insights. 1775 revolutionizes our understanding of America's origins.

This collection contains 28 folders, housed in 2 hollinger boxes. The collection is approximately 1500 pages long. This collection is a compilation of letters that Arrington wrote to his children once they were all out of the house. His secretary, Chris Croft, typed and xeroxed a large portion of the letters. However, later most of the letters were typed out by Arrington. The letters also contain a few diary excerpts and newspaper clippings that Arrington sent to his children. The letters begin in 1972 and extend to 1999, shortly before his death.
Access Restrictions: Open for public research. No photocopying. Researcher must be referred to Utah State University Library, owners of the Leonard J. Arrington papers.

I met my good friend Dr. Raul Ramirez several years ago while training with Billy Robinson. Also a Licensed Acupuncturist based in Culver City, Los Angeles, Dr. Ramirez translated most of the oldest Acupuncture textbooks in existence, the Huang Di Nei Jing. Later he wrote a dissertation on the treatment of inflammatory disorders using the protocols described therein. This work earned him a Ph.D. in Eastern Medicine.
In addition to his work in Traditional Eastern Medicine, Dr. Ramirez has devoted a great deal of his life to martial arts. He has studied Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing and Wrestling) in Bejing, China and Bangau Putih Silat in Bali, Indonesia. He is also well studied in the internal martial arts of Ying Yang Palm and Liu He Ba Fa. Additionally he has experience in Sumo Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Catch Wrestling.
Not only has Dr. Ramirez come down to train with me at my private studio in San Diego many times, but he's been nice enough to teach both myself and my private clients some awesome techniques from Sanda (Chinese Wrestling and Kickboxing).
I recorded the following interview one evening when Dr. Ramirez and I sat down for several hours and talked Martial Arts, Catch Wrestling, Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and a host of other awesome topics. I got the full story of Raul's experiences while training abroad, and some real expert insights on the Huang Di Nei Jing the oldest Acupuncture textbook written around the end of the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). Without any more introduction here is the first installment of my interview with Dr. Raul Ramirez.
Sam: To start out, how about if you fill us in a little bit on your martial arts background. How you got involved in training? What interested you in it?
Dr. Ramirez: Ok I guess probably just from watching movies as a kid I got interested. I grew up in the Palm Springs area, there wasn't much training out there so when I moved to L.A. I started in Karate. My sisters friend was a black belt in it so I started a little training there. In my university, while pursuing my undergraduate degree, I had to take a class in Tai Chi from there I just got really into the Kung Fu stuff, Chinese Kickboxing and Wrestling mostly. Then around 1999, with my teacher at that time, I had an opportunity to go to China and study at the sports university in Bejing for a month.
Sam: What was the training like in China and what did you do there?
Dr. Ramirez: It was really awesome, at the University in China you can actually major in any sport. It's where all the olympians go so not just martial arts, but swimming or anything can be made a full-time study. I was there as the 2000 olympics were approaching so all the students there were very high level. Basically the training was 6 hours a day 6 days a week.
Sam: What would a typical day be?
Dr. Ramirez: Up in the morning and a morning training session, in between or before the next training session would be a strength and conditioning session, then an afternoon training session, in the evening they would usually do pad work or sparring.
Sam: Sounds like a brutal schedule?
Dr. Ramirez: I was having so much fun and excited about everything I was learning I really didn't mind it much. I did wrestling in the morning for 3 hours and kickboxing in the afternoon for another 3 hours.
Sam: So is this how you started studying the language?
Dr. Ramirez: Yes at that time I really didn't know any Chinese, I had a friend translating but he would get tired and so I decided I would really have to learn it.
Sam: What's the correct names for the martial arts you studied in Bejing?
Dr. Ramirez: Kung Fu has a really old Wrestling Style call "Shui Jiao" it's basically their wrestling sport. It has a gi top but it's short sleeve, so it's kind of like Judo but you are not wearing a full gi. It's also sometimes called Kuai Shuai which literally means "fast wrestling", the kickboxing is Sanda some people will also call it San Shou and it also employs the use of takedowns and the wrestling techniques so in many ways the wrestling is just a component of Sanda.
Dr. Ramirez with his Wrestling Coach in China
Sam: I think a lot of people probably aren't too familiar with this because usually over here in the West whenever someone mentions Kung Fu and Chinese martial arts we always think about the traditional arts that involve practicing forms, breathing and other similar exercises. I don't think a lot of people realize that over in China there also exists a very alive, athletic, sport-based martial arts.
Dr. Ramirez: I definitely agree with that. Most people just think of forms or Jet Li movies and they don't understand or realize that the history of Kung Fu goes back over 3,000 years. People will try to claim a Buddhist relationship because of the Shaolin temple and say that all Chinese martial arts came from India, but even with Chinese wrestling it has a long heritage that has nothing to do with Shaolin. From what I've studied, that style used to be more like MMA and involved punches and kicks but over thousands of years it became more centered as a sport and focused on your ability to take someone down. But that's the root of Fast Wrestling; it was at one time more wrestling mixed with striking. You have to understand over in China, even if a style isn't that great, if the teacher knows it really well they will still reject students. They'll say, "you're not a good person I don't want to teach you," it happens a lot.
Sam: That's the opposite of here the goal in most martial arts schools is to teach everyone, to pack-out every class and get the enrollment numbers up.
Dr. Ramirez: The attitude of my teachers is they'd rather let the style die than pass it onto someone who's a bad guy.
Sam: It's like they wanted to know you're a well adjusted / balanced person before they'd even teach you?
Dr. Ramirez: Yes a lot of them feel what they have is a treasure. They know the value of it and will be selective rather than teach someone who they don't respect or who won't respect the style.
Sam: That's something missing in modern martial arts, the true value isn't fully understood. I have people call up often who want to train in Catch Wrestling but just on the basis of dropping in on a class when they can. I'll soon learn that most of them only have the intention of finding a technique no one knows to take back to some other gym that they are committed to and beat everyone with it. I always turn these people away because they are telling me they don't respect or really value what I have to share. Additionally, their reasons for coming to me are insincere. They don't want to learn so they themselves can become better, but because they want help in beating someone else.
Dr. Ramirez: Yes, people often don't realize the sacrifices we have made to learn. They think they can just come and take from us as it's convenient for them. They don't know there's more to this and to martial arts than just fighting; that it can help you develop yourself more as a person than anything.
Sam: What's the Chinese Kickboxing like?
Dr. Ramirez: The Chinese Kickboxing "Sanda" is what it's called, is similar to Muay Thai but a lot more kicks like Ax Kicks, Spinning Kicks, plus they have all the grappling techniques and use them for defending kicks and punches.
Sam: After training China then what did you do?
Dr. Ramirez: I went to Indonesia a couple years later. Primarily for a cultural studies program, but while I was there I learned a martial art style developed as a guerrilla style of fighting that was used to fight off the Dutch. At least that's what I was told by the students of it there. They said it was so successful it became a standardized style. It was really different from what I learned in China. Flexibility was still emphasized but everything had to be done on hard cement like concrete. So you had to practice different ways of falling, but on concrete.
Sam: Similar to breakfalling in Judo or like the rolling one would learn in Aikido?
Dr. Ramirez: Yes, but it's all modified because you have to do it on cement so they will still do the basic jump and roll drills but even the falling they teach you it's done a little different. After learning for a while they'll have a bunch of people line up kneeling and you have to jump over them and roll out of it all on cement. This is all done at the beginning of class as part of the warm-up.
Sam: It sounds like this would really condition the body for impact?
Dr. Ramirez: Yes, they always talk about body harding conditioning the shins and wrists.
Sam: How long did you do this for?
Dr. Ramirez: Everyday for a month. It did help a lot that I already learned and had been practicing the Chinese wrestling and kickboxing for several years, I was able to learn a little more quickly than if I had just started without any prior martial arts experience at all.
Sam: After Indonesia what what did you do?
Raul after winning his first national Sanda gold medal
Dr. Ramirez: I continued to practice the wrestling, the kickboxing, and everything else I had learned with anyone and everyone I could. I ended up competing in a few tournaments for the Chinese Kickboxing and won my weight class here in America two years in a row. At that time, I felt very confident in what the Chinese call the external martial arts, the wrestling and kickboxing.
Shortly after that I found the best Kung Fu teacher I've ever met. He had moved here from China and I started training with him in 2002. His style is all internal. His Kung Fu is the most authentic I've ever seen from anyone. Even my wrestling and kickboxing coaches in China were very good, they had lineage, their grandfathers passed it down to them and so on. With my Kung Fu teacher the intention behind all the joint locks and striking is far more devastating and not oriented towards sports, but completely for self-defense.
Sam: How would you explain an internal martial art, is what you do more like Qi Gong or Tai Chi?
Dr. Ramirez: Not exactly. Its more like Hsing Yi which is also a more popular well known internal Chinese martial arts style, but the style I practice is a lot more obscure and not mainstream. People who are really into the internal martial arts will know it but otherwise it's still out of the limelight.
Sam: What is this style of Kung Fu called?
Dr. Ramirez: The primary style is called Lui Hu Ba Fa, Six United and Eight Methods. Often called water boxing. The main thing I learned from my teacher is Yin Yang Palm or in Chinese it's called "western cool palm." It goes back to some of their famous stories about the 3 kingdoms period in China. You learn it as a form, but the application of everything is eye gouging, elbows strikes, attacks to the neck throat and so forth.
Sam: So you learn the martial art as a form and then later you are also taught the application of all these techniques in a realistic manner?
Dr. Ramirez: Yes.
Sam: Is this your favorite martial art or what you enjoy the most?
Dr. Ramirez: In some ways…there's more wrist and finger locks, a lot of small joint manipulation, they are very easy to do and can cause pain very quickly. Think of the traditional joint locks you would learn in Jiu-Jitsu or like an outer wrist lock or a goose neck, most of these would be considered very rudimentary wrist locks, the wrist locks go much deeper.. Most of the basic wrist locks commonly taught in martial arts can be very easy to get out of and you can quickly reverse them on someone.
Dr. Ramirez with his advanced Kung Fu teacher
Sam: With all this Training in Eastern Martial Arts how is it that you became interested and involved in Catch Wrestling? I find it interesting because Catch is such a Western style.
Dr. Ramirez: I did some Sumo Wrestling at UCLA and I taught a Chinese kickboxing class. We had several very good martial arts classes with very good teachers there, including a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Brazil. We also had some very good Muay Thai teachers who had competition experience in Thailand. One day a three-time international champion from Bulgaria moved to L.A. and started teaching Sumo wrestling at the school. It was very similar to the Chinese Wrestling I had learned. I competed in a USA sumo open tournament in 2002 and I placed 2nd. I was able to compete against a guy from Japan, Georgia, and a few other places.
Sam: Really? Wow that's awesome!
Dr. Ramirez: I didn't fully understand the rules and made a mistake in the final stepping outside the line losing the match. But at UCLA I was able to spar a lot of different martial art styles. I found that being able to control the takedown was very advantageous. I wanted to find something that had more on the ground work and mat grappling in it, but still emphasized good takedown skills. With the background I had in Chinese wrestling I was looking for something different than what has become the mainstream Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu oriented style of grappling. That's how I found Catch Wrestling.
Dr. Ramirez center and some college level Sumo Wrestlers at the US Sumo Open
Sam: I can understand that. I always felt something was missing coming up through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I really like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it's a lot of fun but there were a lot of take downs, neck locks and cranks, leg locks, rides and other positions I really wanted to develop.
Dr. Ramirez: Also I feel that if Catch Wrestling is your base you can easily integrate striking. That's how the Chinese wrestling I did was oriented. If you wanted to do kick boxing it plugged right into the Wrestling style they taught. That's how I feel about Catch Wrestling, it's very easy to add the striking to it.
Sam: I've felt that way. For quite a long time in the martial arts world there was an emphasis on striking vs. grappling to promote Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Today I see mainstream Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has having really grown into it's own sport which has been exciting to watch, but on the other side of the coin it has headed even further away from it's self-defense application and from being taught in conjunction with striking.
Dr. Ramirez: Yes even Billy Robinson mentions how with the stance in Catch Wrestling all you have to do is turn your shoulder a little, turn the hip and you are ready to box or strike.
Sam: That's right! The stance in Catch Wrestling isn't the same as what you see in high school and college. In Catch Wrestling you learn wrestling from a more upright position that plugs right into striking. So tell me about how you learned of Billy Robinson and came to train with him?
Dr. Ramirez: Just doing research I found Scientific Wrestling, and that he was teaching camps through that organization. So finally I just pulled the trigger and did it… I went out to the next camp and just trained.
Sam: Yes I remember the first camp you came to it was quite a while ago now. How many times have you been back out now to train with Billy?
Legendary Catch Wrestler Billy Robinson and Dr. Raul Ramirez
Dr. Ramirez: I believe three times and I'm looking forward to attending the next camp.
Sam: Thats great! A lot of people may not realize this but every time you go out to train with Billy in one of his weekend camps you put in around 8 hrs a day of time with him on the mat, it's a lot of work. He's very particular about how he wants things done. If Billy's watching you, nothing gets past him. Billy really wants the best performance out of everyone he works with.
Dr. Ramirez: Yes definitely, it's a lot of fun, even as much work as it is I wish we could do more.
End of part one… Stay tuned as I will be posting part two of my interview with Dr. Raul Ramirez soon until then make sure to check out Dr. Ramirez's blog and website just click on the banner above and if you are in the Los Angeles area I would highly recommend contacting Dr. Ramirez for learning authentic Chinese Wrestling, Kickboxing, Catch Wrestling and more…

So kinda unbelievably (or predictably… depending on your viewpoint), I haven't recorded a Video of the Week in 6 weeks!
This week… I'm back, and sharing with you the reasons for the long absence, the trap of consistency (and a better way to motivate yourself), and a quick head's up that Ignite is coming veeeerrrry soon!
It feels so great to be sharing a video of the week again as life settles back to normal.
Love this, I strugggle with consistency all my life and other things as well. I am a very creative person and not born organized and have had to learn how to even keep my home clean and some-what organized. I am now planning to teach others like me (I know there are many) how to do this and be creative by being inconsistently consistent.
I love the idea of inconsistently consistent… that sounds like me! 🙂 I also struggle SO much with my home, it's barely contained chaos most of the time.
I SO resonated with this Niamh! Thank you for helping me reframe the focus. I love seeing the value of what I'm doing as THE thing to focus on, rather than the idea of consistency. I've had many times of being "on a roll," only to hit a wall and then feel incapacitated and unmotivated. Thanks for this!
Thanks Kim, it's such an awful feeling trying to force things. It's so much better to find the way that works for you!


Volcanoes National Park, which runs along the border with the DRC and Uganda, is home to the Rwandan section of the Virungas. Comprising five volcanoes, the Virungas are utterly spellbinding and few would argue that this is not one of the most exciting national parks in Africa. We probably needn't remind you, but of all the extraordinary sights and attractions around the Virungas, the one that really draws people here are the famous mountain gorillas.
While most tourists to the park are understandably driven by the desire to have a face-to-face encounter with real gorillas in the mist, there is good reason to stay in the area once you've finished tracking: the gorillas share the park with rare golden monkeys, a troop of which has also been habituated to human contact. The Virungas, which tower over Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC, also present a variety of rewarding climbing and trekking options. To get the most from the Virungas give yourself as much time as you possibly can as this is absolutely a park that rewards those who linger.

Danske Bank cuts 50 jobs in FX, fixed income business
By Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen
Reuters 21 November 2019
FILE PHOTO: A Danske bank sign is seen on a bank's headquarters in Copenhagen
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danske Bank <DANSKE.CO> said on Thursday it has cut about 50 jobs in its foreign exchange and fixed income business as part of a broader exercise to cut costs.
Danske Bank's new chief executive Chris Vogelzang said earlier this month that the bank needed to cut up to 15% of staff-related costs in FX and fixed income in the short term.
Denmark's biggest bank has lost customers and warned of lower than expected earnings since reports emerged in 2017 of its involvement in one of the world's biggest money-laundering scandals via its Estonia branch.
The cost reduction, which is part of a wider restructuring of the bank's FX, equity and fixed income units, was mainly achieved through job cuts, Jakob Groot, head of Corporate & Institutions, said.
"Unfortunately this has meant that we said goodbye to several good colleagues today," he told Reuters, adding that his division had achieved the targeted cost savings with Thursday's staff reductions.
"This has nothing to do with the Estonia case," Groot said.
The cost cuts are the result of a combination of very low interest rates, lower market volatility and digitalisation in the financial industry, he said.
The staff cuts included Danske's global head of foreign exchange Niklas Karlsson.
"This is part of the restructuring at the bank, and I was unfortunately left out," Karlsson told Reuters.
"The management sets the team. I have been very, very happy working at Danske and have absolutely nothing bad to say about the bank," said Karlsson, who had spent 19 years at the bank.
Danske introduced a hiring freeze last month to cope with rising compliance costs and a tough business environment, which has also prompted three cuts to its annual outlook this year.

As well as providing Khmer voice-over artists, our Khmer voice-over service also includes transcription, translation, proofreading, recording, editing and audio syncing. We have Khmer voice artists and talents offering a variety of styles, including Khmer-accented English. Adelphi is a full-service Khmer voice-over agency. Through our transcription service, we can transcribe the source audio to provide time-coded scripts ready for translation; our in-house translation project managers then arrange the script translation with our team of specialist linguists working into their native tongue.
Also enhancing Adelphi's Khmer voice-over services is our ability to localize motion graphics and animations, printed materials, Articulate Storyline projects, subtitles and any on-screen text, all in-house without the need to outsource any of the work.
Our Khmer voice artists have been carefully selected to give a range of styles suitable for drama, commercials, corporate, films, IVR's (Interactive voice response), narrations etc., for you to choose from. Their voices also cover a variety of ages, from children to the elderly, plus character acting too.

A recent voice-over project for Best Western was recorded in Danish, Dutch, English UK, Finnish, French, Japanese, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Russian, Chinese, and Khmer.
Adelphi Studio is a full-service translation agency producing not only Khmer voice-overs and translations but also Khmer typesetting and Khmer subtitling.
We also provide transcription services in any language, to provide time-coded scripts for translation. The length of many languages will expand when compared to original English and care must be taken in the translation to keep the true meaning of the English, while staying within the time frame allowed. For voice-overs and depending on the language, we sometimes have to edit the English to make a more concise version of the original, this is because the spoken version of many languages is much longer than the English and would not fit in the allocated time-slot. Of course, the edited English is approved by the client before translation into Khmer.
Standard Khmer is spoken by more educated people in larger cities like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. For Cambodian (Khmer) voice-overs, we recommend that voice artists from these cities are used. The vast majority of Khmer speakers speak Central Khmer, the dialect of the central plain where the Khmer are most heavily concentrated.
Khmer is spoken by some 13 million people in Cambodia, where it is the official language.

US closes diplomatic facilities in response to al Qaeda threat
by The Long War Journal | Aug 2, 2013 | Monitor |
The US government has ordered 21 diplomatic facilities closed this weekend in response to an al Qaeda threat.
"The Department of State alerts US citizens to the continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula," a worldwide travel alert reads.
The alert continues: "Current information suggests that al Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August."
The State Department has released a list of the diplomatic facilities to be closed. They are located in North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Ordinarily, these facilities would be closed for part of the weekend. But the facilities would also normally be open on Sunday for business, as is custom in Muslim countries.
"The Department of State has instructed certain US embassies and consulates to remain closed or to suspend operations on Sunday, August 4th," Marie Harf, the State Department's deputy spokeswoman, explained to reporters. This was a "precautionary" step taken "out of an abundance of caution."
Some facilities may remain closed past Aug. 4, depending on the results of a security analysis, Harf added.
Multiple US embassy websites, such as the one for Cairo, have posted statements concerning the closures.
The US government has not provided any specific details concerning the threat at this time.
Citing US officials, the New York Times reports that there is "credible" intelligence indicating "that an al Qaeda regional affiliate might be plotting an attack sometime in the coming days."
CBS News reports that US intelligence officials have "picked up signs of an al Qaeda plot against American diplomatic posts in the Middle East and other Muslim countries," but the "intelligence does not mention a specific location, which is why all embassies that would normally be open on Sunday have been ordered to close."
September 2012: Al Qaeda-linked jihadists assault US diplomatic facilities
AQAP's tenth edition of Inspire magazine featured the September 2012 assaults on US diplomatic facilities.
The embassy and consulate closures come nearly one year after al Qaeda-linked jihadists assaulted multiple US diplomatic facilities.
On Sept. 11, 2012, jihadists with known al Qaeda ties, including Mohammed al Zawahiri, the brother of al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri, orchestrated a protest outside of the US Embassy in Cairo. The embassy's walls were breached and an al Qaeda flag was hoisted in place of the stars and stripes. The Cairo protest was infused with al Qaeda symbolism, with protesters chanting, "Obama, Obama, we are all Osama!" That same chant was heard at other protests in the following days as well. [See LWJ report, Al Qaeda-linked jihadists helped incite 9/11 Cairo protest.]
Later that same day, jihadists from several al Qaeda-linked groups attacked the US Mission in Benghazi, Libya, killing a US Ambassador and three other Americans. The terrorists responsible reportedly had ties to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), as well as other al Qaeda-associated groups and Ansar al Sharia in Libya.
A group of Egyptians who took part in the Benghazi attack had been trained in camps run by Muhammad Jamal al Kashef, a longtime subordinate to Ayman al Zawahiri. Al Kashef was in contact with Zawahiri during the months leading up the attack, and also has extensive, longstanding ties to the jihadists who incited the Cairo protest. [See LWJ reports, Old school Egyptian jihadists linked to 9/11 Cairo protest, Benghazi suspect and Communications with Ayman al Zawahiri highlighted in 'Nasr City cell' case.]
Two days after the attacks in Cairo and Benghazi, still another al Qaeda-linked jihadist played a role in an anti-American protest, in Sana'a, Yemen. The US embassy there was stormed on Sept. 13, 2012, after Sheikh Abdul Majeed al Zindani called for protests, according to The New York Times. Zindani is a known al Qaeda supporter.
The US Treasury Department had added Zindani to its list of designated terrorist supporters in 2004, calling him an Osama bin Laden "loyalist." Zindani "has a long history of working with bin Laden, notably serving as one of his spiritual leaders," Treasury explained. Zindani "has been able to influence and support many terrorist causes, including actively recruiting for al Qaeda training camps" and "played a key role in the purchase of weapons on behalf of al Qaeda and other terrorists."
On Sept. 14, 2012, the US Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia was ransacked by Ansar al Sharia Tunisia and other Salafi jihadists. Seifallah ben Hassine (a.k.a. Abu Iyad al Tunisi) is the head of Ansar al Sharia Tunisia and the co-founder of the Tunisian Combatant Group, which has been listed by the United Nations "as being associated with al Qaeda." In its annual Country Reports on Terrorism, published in May, the State Department noted that ben Hassine "was implicated as the mastermind behind the September 14 attack on the US Embassy," which involved "a mob of 2,000 – 3,000" people, "including individuals affiliated with the militant organization Ansar al Sharia."
In early November 2012, Ayman al Zawahiri issued a message saying that the September raids on American diplomatic facilities were "defeats" for the US. Zawahiri specifically mentioned the killing of the US Ambassador in Benghazi, as well as the raising of al Qaeda-style flags over US Embassies elsewhere. [See LWJ report, Zawahiri says raids on diplomatic facilities were 'defeats' for US.]
Earlier this year, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's 10th edition of its Inspire magazine featured the September 2012 assaults on US diplomatic facilities. The cover picture showed a black flag commonly used by al Qaeda being raised in front of one of the embassies. The feature article was titled, "We Are All Usama," a reference to the chant heard in Egypt, Tunisia, and elsewhere.

Multiple dead in mass shooting at gaming tournament in Jacksonville, Florida
By Justin Carissimo CBS News August 26, 2018, 6:43 PM Multiple dead in mass shooting at gaming tournament in Jacksonville, Florida — live updates
Multiple people, including one suspect, were killed in a shooting at a popular waterfront mall in Jacksonville, Florida, where a video game tournament was being held. Graphic recordings from the scene captured gunshots ringing out and the screams of terrified patrons taking cover.
Preliminary reports say four people were killed and at least nine wounded in the shooting, a law enforcement source told CBS News. It is unclear if the four fatalities includes the shooting suspect.
Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said one suspect, a white male, was killed at The Jacksonville Landing in the city's downtown area. In a brief press conference, Williams said police had cleared the scene and were not looking for other suspects. He did not say how many people were killed or injured in the shooting.
The sheriff's office had earlier said there were "multiple fatalities" and that many people had been transported to local hospitals. FBI agents are at the scene to assist the sheriff's office, which is leading the investigation, a law enforcement official told CBS News.
Doctors at UF Health Jacksonville said they were treating six victims. Five were listed in good condition. Another victim, who suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, was listed in critical but stable condition. Memorial Hospital said it was treating three patients, who were in stable condition.
The tournament for "Madden NFL 19" players was being held at the GLHF Game Bar. Apparent gunshots can be heard in recordings from the tournament on the bar's Twitch account, which was streaming the competition.
In a Facebook message, the bar told CBS News that all staff members and the owner were able to escape "untouched."

Drini Gjoka, who was competing in the event, tweeted about the shooting in the immediate aftermath. "The tourney just got shot up. Im leavinng and never coming back," he wrote at 1:37 p.m. Four minutes later, he added that a bullet struck him in the thumb, and later called Sunday the "worst day of my life."
"I will never take anything for granted ever again. Life can be cut short in a second," he said.
There were 150 people involved in the two-day event, including players and spectators. Players were competing for a chance to play in the final round in Las Vegas. "This is your chance to earn your spot in the first Major's Live Finals happening in October 2018," the Facebook page for the event reads. "Don't hesitate to secure your spot!"
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who was traveling to Jacksonville, tweeted that he offered state resources to the local law enforcement. His office said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Florida Highway Patrol were assisting in the investigation.
Police gather at Jacksonville Landing in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018.
EA Sports said it was aware of the shooting and is working with authorities to gather information. "This is a horrible situation, and our deepest sympathies go out to all involved," the company said.
The NFL issued a statement saying it was "shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific tragedy" in Jacksonville. "We support our partners at EA Sports and will continue to monitor developments with local law enforcement."

National Domestic Workers Alliance
This is the 2019 fellowship description for this organization. This fellowship has been awarded to Consuelo Amezcua from University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.
The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and improved labor standards. NDWA is committed to mentoring and offering opportunities to law students who are committed to social/labor justice.
Our current projects where the Peggy Browning Fellow would be involved include: creating and passing state and municipal Domestic Worker Bills of Rights; shaping federal legislation and regulatory reform in line with the priorities of our membership, especially in the areas of employment and collective bargaining protections; engaging in policy analysis and advocacy around immigrant rights and labor trafficking in collaboration with trafficking survivors; creating guidelines for tech companies around respecting workers in the on-demand economy; and identifying new means, including budgeting analysis and new state and federal legislation to generate revenue for improved, government-funded childcare and direct care systems while improving those systems for our members and for consumers.
Because we are a national policy/advocacy organization which does not engage in direct legal services, the Peggy Browning Fellow will not be assigned individual cases. Rather, he/she will be assigned individual policy projects related to the numerous policy/legislative campaigns that will be under way in the summer of 2019. At any time, the Fellow may work on discrete or collaborative assignments for one of our three state legislative campaigns (CA, GA and NY) along with municipal campaigns (in Seattle and others), all of which will be addressing labor reforms and/or immigrant rights policy and organizing campaigns on behalf of domestic workers and/or care workers.
The Fellow will also be assigned projects that involve creating and implementing "Know Your Rights" community outreach materials, whereby he/she will be charged with doing community presentations and reaching many people from the public.
The position will involve legal research, writing and participation in community events and coalition and legislative meetings. The Fellow will be assisgned a portfolio of work based on the needs of the organization. Areas of focus are likely to include:
Review and analysis of proposed federal anti-poverty and anti-trafficking bills;
Legal research in support of the drafting of municipal and state policy platforms;
Production of research memos to assist NDWA and local affiliates to assess possibilities for local legislative innovation;
Creation of guides and toolkits for worker organizations;
Research on the domestic work industry and related issues;
Assistance with legislative visits; and
Research on state and federal legislative and budgeting processes.
We will try to tailor work to the Fellow's interests.
The Fellow will be able to participate in a series of Bay Area summer brown bag lunches hosted by legal services organizations in San Francisco, including the Employment Law Center and the Asian Law Caucus. In addition, the Fellow will be invited to participate in legislative advocacy efforts to Sacramento, CA related to our policy work, but also to community events sponsored by our affiliate member organizations in Oakalnd and San Francisco. There are also numerous events that are sponsored by the SF and Alameda Bar Associations, as well as the Public Interest Clearinghouse.

Presidents of both Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of using a maritime clash Sunday to bolster their leadership images.
MOSCOW — Ukraine's president signed off Wednesday on orders for limited martial law amid a showdown with Moscow over the seizure of Ukrainian naval vessels and crew, but the next moves by Kiev appeared caught up in internal political wrangling.
The crisis – triggered Sunday by the maritime clash in the Black Sea – has brought widespread denunciations of Russia and calls by some leaders in Europe for deeper sanctions on Moscow.
But the political fortunes of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko have become part of the tensions. The deeply unpopular Poroshenko faces an election next year, and some critics – especially Russian President Vladimir Putin – question whether he is trying use the standoff as a way boost his standing.
The martial-law process suggests how political concerns have spilled over into Ukraine's response to Russia.
Lawmakers and government leaders haggled over the length of the martial law – cutting down Poroshenko's original 60-day proposal to 30 days to prevent possible interference in elections March 31.
Earlier Wednesday, Ukraine passed a resolution to schedule next year's vote as previously planned, seeking to cement a promise Poroshenko had made to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg when appealing for assistance.
Still, it was unclear when the martial law would take effect in 10 of Ukraine's 27 regions, where the country has a sea or land border with Russia.
By law, the order must be published by the Ukrainian government's newspaper, which could happen Thursday.
It would mark the first time Ukraine has imposed martial law in its ongoing conflict with Russia, which began in 2014 when Moscow annexed Crimea and supported pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine. More than 10,300 people have been killed in the fight against militias in the breakaway regions.
"People wanted martial law four years ago, and Poroshenko was against it," said John Herbst, who was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2003 to 2006.
In Moscow, Putin took direct aim at Poroshenko, claiming he is trying to find some political gain.
"The incident in the Black Sea was a provocation organized by the authorities and maybe the president himself," Putin said.

IDF Reservists Protest Lebanon Action
Editor-in-ChiefBio | Follow
A couple of years ago, Gershom Gorenberg wrote a great piece
for Mother Jones about the Israel Defense Force reservists known as "refusniks" because they refused participate in the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Now various groups of IDF reservists are protesting the war in Lebanon as well, as the New York Times reports:
[One] group of Israeli reservist soldiers who served during the recent fighting in Lebanon, angry about the conduct of the war, on Monday demanded the resignations of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and the army chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz.
The reservists, most of whom have gone back to civilian life, say that their training was inadequate and that they were sent into Lebanon with unclear missions, inadequate supplies, outdated equipment and a lack of basics, like drinking water. They called for a national inquiry into how the war was waged.

The artist's studio is a private, intimate and fruitful space – as French photographer Vincent Ferrané's new series Visitor demonstrates with charm and nuance. Over the course of a year, he photographed 17 emerging female artists in their ateliers in Paris, working across the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Now, the resulting series comprises a book, set to be published by Libraryman on September 22.
Gender has its part to play in Visitor, but it feels secondary to the work Ferrané's lens trains upon, which is in various stages of being made. Instead, the photographer documents process, gesture, tools, and the relationship between the bodies of his subjects and the work they are creating. He describes himself as an "active spectactor", or a "studio guest" – he is engaged yet distanced, opening up an honest dialogue and capturing "the energy, the tension and the commitment" of his subjects.
The art world has long been under scrutiny for its underrepresentation of women: women artists constitute only three to five percent of major permanent collections in the US and Europe, and just 30 percent of artists represented by commercial galleries are women, according to the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Ahead of the book launch, we speak to Ferrané to find out more about this significant and alluring series.
Visitor is available for pre-order now at Libraryman. The publication will launch in New York on September 22, 2018, at The NY Art Book Fair, and in Paris on the September 27, 2018, at Yvon Lambert bookshop.


Prohibited IRA Transactions: Follow IRS Code To Avoid An Audit acceptable, so long as you are not doing business with a disqualified party. A simple definition of a disqualified party is yourself, your spouse, any lineal family members, and their spouses.
Here is what the IRS says about Prohibited Transactions.

Prohibited transactions can quietly sneak up on you if you don't know the IRA rules.
I received a call from a client today that I thought would make a great example for the blog as to what a prohibited IRA transaction looks like.
The client has an IRA LLC and is investing in homes that are being sold in auctions. The auction would not accept a bid from his LLC because it was registered in a different state. However, the auction would accept the bid in his own name.
His question to me was whether or not he could make the initial offer in his own name, make the purchase in his own name and then quit claim the property over to his retirement account?
Quite simply the answer is NO! You cannot sell anything that you already own personally to your IRA, as that would be considered providing benefit to your IRA and violates an IRS rule known as self-dealing. If the client were to purchase the property in his own name, then sell it to his IRA, it would be considered a prohibited transaction according to the IRS guidelines. You also cannot make any contributions to your IRA in anything other than cash. This means that the client could not buy the property in his own name and then assign or quit claim the real estate to his IRA because this would be a contribution of an asset other than cash, so again this investor's strategy fails to align with the rules for what is considered allowable inside an IRA. Also, what this story teaches us is to make sure that before you purchase an alternative asset that you complete your own before you decide to commit to an investment.
Through your self directed IRA with Sunwest Trust, we allow you to invest in any type of investment other than what is not specifically prohibited by the IRS. Prohibited investments include life insurance and collectibles, etc. Anything other than life insurance and collectibles is generally acceptable, so long as you are not doing business with a disqualified party. A simple definition of a disqualified party is yourself, your spouse, any lineal family members, and their spouses.

Soviet-Era Chemical Weapon Used To Poison Putin Critic Alexey Navalny
Navalny, who is an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin fell ill on a flight back to Moscow and the German government has now confirmed that he's been poisoned with the potent, Soviet-era chemical agent, Novichok.

A German military laboratory has found traces of the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok in prominent Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny. The attempted murder of Alexey Navalny has been compared to the poisoning of former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter in the United Kingdom.
Navalny is a 44-year-old politician and corruption investigator who is one of the most outspoken against the Putin regime. He fell ill on a flight back to Moscow from Siberia on 20 August, after which the plane made an emergency landing in order to take him to an emergency hospital in Omsk, Siberia. He was later transferred to Charite hospital in Berlin, where doctors indicated that he had been poisoned. Steffen Seibert, Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesperson has now confirmed that a military laboratory has "proof without doubt of a chemical nerve agent from the Novichok group," according to Al Jazeera.
"It is a dismaying event that Alexey Navalny was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent in Russia," Seibert said. "The German government condemns this attack in the strongest terms. The Russian government is urgently requested to provide clarifications over the incident."
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that the Kremlin was not informed about the findings, as reported by the TASS news agency. Merkel confirmed her spokesperson's statement, without any caveats.
"This is disturbing information about the attempted murder through poisoning against a leading Russian opposition figure," Merkel told a news conference. "Alexey Navalny was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent of the Novichok group."
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has called upon Moscow to conduct an investigation.
"This makes it all the more urgent that those responsible in Russia be identified and held accountable," he told reporters. "We condemn this attack in the strongest terms."
Charite hospital has reported that there has been some improvement" in Navalny's condition.
Novichok agent is a series of binary chemical weapons developed by the Soviet Union and Russia between 1971 and 1993, which Russian scientists claim are the deadliest ever made and is claimed to be five to eight times more potent than VX, which was used by Saddam Hussein in 1988.

Understanding Privileged Account Security
Privileged Account Security Solution
Previously, we have focused on the security issues raised by privileged users. As the people who can access the administrative back ends of critical systems, privileged users represent a potential threat vector. After all, they can get into confidential data, account settings, and system configurations. Equally or even more important to security than privileged users, however, is the concept of the privileged account. A privileged account is an actual mechanism by which a privileged user gains access to administrative controls. Having a privileged account security solution in place is thus an essential practice for the maintenance of a robust security posture.
Privileged users have unrestricted access to everything, so having a privileged account security solution in place is critical in ensuring a robust security posture.
What is Privileged Account Security?
A privileged account is a special user account on a system. The privileged account entitles the user to perform certain administrative tasks. However, it's far more than that. A privileged account represents the totality of rules, controls, roles, and permissions that apply to it. For example, an email server might have a privileged account called "administrator" that allows anyone with the right credentials to set up, modify, or delete other user accounts. Rules give the role of "administrator" the privilege to change the system settings.
In this way, a privileged account is a bit like a car key. The key itself is neither good nor bad; the driver makes all the difference. He can use the car to save a life or take one. Privileged account security prevents bad outcomes from either deliberate or accidental misuse of privileged accounts. It comprises the practices and tools that stop unauthorized users from accessing privileged accounts.
Securing privileged accounts requires a multi-layered approach. It incorporates identity management and access control. Both physical and logical security are essential to its success. Privileged account security solutions must encompass the complete spectrum of controls, rules, roles, and permissions that define privileged accounts at their core.
The Risks of Deficient Privileged Account Security
Privileged account misuse is a serious security concern and a major problem for many organizations. For example, the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Report points to privileged account misuse as the second leading cause of security incidents and the third leading cause of data breaches.
Privileged account misuse doesn't have to be sophisticated. Some of the most egregious breaches involved simply sharing privileged account passwords. This was the case with the Société Générale scandal, arguably the most extreme abuse of privileged account access ever —where one of the world's largest banks lost $7 billion when a currency trader improperly accessed his manager's privileged account and deleted transactions.
Privileged account misuse is the second leading cause of security incidents.
Other examples of privileged account misuse include:
Privilege escalation – In this scenario, a malicious actor attains one level of privilege, but then uses the administrative system itself to "promote" himself into a more privileged position. The Edward Snowden affair offers one of the most infamous examples of privilege escalation. By taking advantage of lax oversight, Snowden was able to manufacture digital keys that let him past authentication gateways. He could then tap into data resources at a much higher level in the NSA than were permitted to him. He stole 1.7 million top-secret documents.
Third-party privilege misuse – Privileged users may work for outside entities like IT contractors. Without an effective privileged account security solution in place, third parties can abuse privileged access. This was the case in the second, lesser-known breach at Anthem Health Insurance company. In June of 2017, an employee of one of Anthem's vendors used a privileged account to steal over 18,000 patient records, including social security numbers.
Improper access due to administrative errors – Also in 2017, it was revealed that employees at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) had improperly viewed thousands of patient records due to mistakes in setting up privilege account access rules. The employees, whose main job was to transport patients around the hospital, did nothing other than look at patients' private information. This episode was relatively benign, in cybersecurity terms, but it could have been far worse if this information had been sold on the black market.
Using PAM as a Privileged Account Security Solution
A Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution makes it possible to secure privileged accounts. The WALLIX Bastion, for instance, offers a streamlined, centralized system for privileged account security. It includes the following functional modules:
Access Manager—Governing access to privileged accounts with a single point of policy definition and policy enforcement for privileged account management. A super admin can add/modify/delete privileged user accounts. This way, the organization can keep careful tabs on privileged accounts and make sure they are aligned with rules, roles, policies, and controls.
Session Manager—Tracking and monitoring all actions taken during a privileged account session for future review and auditing. Some session managers can even prevent malicious or unauthorized actions and/or alert Super Admins if suspicious activity is detected.
Password Vault—Keeping passwords in a secure and certified "vault." This helps avoid the Société Générale scenario. All system access is via the password vault. End users never have direct access to root passwords. This capability mitigates the risk of local overrides on physical devices.
Secure your strategic and critical assets to protect yourself from cyber risks.

Risen Energy starts construction of first large-sale ground-mounted PV station in Nepal
Risen Energy Co., Ltd., a Chinese A-share market-listed PV module producer, officially commenced the build-out of a facility under an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract in Nuwakot, Nepal on April 27. Risen Energy is the general contractor for the 25MW solar PV power station. The project represents one of the Chinese solar panel maker's efforts in compliance with the Chinese government's One Belt, One Road initiative by exporting products, brands and technologies abroad, as well as a milestone demonstrating how an efficient and professional solar PV solution from China solves the electricity shortage in Nepal. Upon completion, the power station is expected to become the first large-scale ground-mounted PV station.
Nepal energy minister Barshaman Pun, Nepal Electricity Authority executive Nutan Bhattrai, Risen Energy president Wang Hong jointly witnessed the initiation of a significant partnership between China and Nepal in terms of environmentally-friendly energy during the opening ceremony.
In addition to EPC and the follow-up adjustment and calibration upon completion of the project, Risen Energy will contribute high-efficiency 275W solar modules, which are both reliable and cost-efficient, to the project. The facility is scheduled to be put into operation by the end of this year, at which point it will be connected to the state grid and provide clean electricity to Kathmandu Valley during the daytime.
The Chinese provider has accelerated its expansion plans outside the home market, plans that have been in the making for years, by actively bidding on and participating in projects worldwide. In addition to enhancing its presence in Europe, the Americas and Australia, Risen Energy has expanded into countries along the One Belt, One Road route including Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and the ASEAN countries. The PV provider has also been a key player in facilitating close partnerships in terms of clean energy between countries. To date, the company has 1,000 projects either under development or being delivered across the globe. The company is well on track to see the sum of its installations outside of China exceed 800MW by the end of this year.
Mr. Wang said: "In line with the One Belt, One Road initiative, we have made significant progress in the global market, thanks to our advanced PV manufacturing technologies and rich experience in overseas projects. As one of the key parts of the initiative, Nepal is an attractive market for us. Over the next seven years, Nepal, a country boasting abundant water resources, aims to achieve the goal of 17,000 megawatts of electricity generation, which is unlikely to be met via hydropower alone. Renewable energy methods including PV have become important supplements and Nepal is on the right track. Looking forward, we plan to invest in and develop more EPC projects in Nepal and across South Asia in a move to contribute to solving the local energy crisis and boosting China-Nepal cooperation in connection with new energy."

UGA study finds high marine debris, need for standardized reporting along Georgia coast
By Molly Kate Berg
University of Georgia researchers are hoping to find a consistent way to record the marine debris—particularly pieces of plastic—crowding Georgia's beaches as part of an effort to find a solution for the growing problem.
Marine debris has been washing up on Georgia beaches and uninhabited islands for years. Combating the issue starts with figuring out how big it is, and a new two-part study from the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and Marine Extension published online in the Marine Pollution Bulletin finds that marine debris reporting can improve if it becomes standardized.
A sample of marine debris collected along the Georgia coast sits on a table at the
UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium.
The problem right now is this: A volunteer group goes out and records the weight or volume of the marine debris collected. However, volunteers don't often record the specific square feet measured or the contents of the debris. Due to a lack of report standardization, researchers often can't compare the marine debris, especially plastic fragments, reported by different groups.
"We've seen plastic usage go up dramatically," said study co-author Dodie Sanders, a marine educator and outreach coordinator for UGA Marine Extension, a unit of the Office of Public Service and Outreach. "It's an important 21st century global issue. We need to learn more to better understand the issues of marine debris."
The study's lead author Richard F. Lee, professor emeritus with the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, agrees.
"Plastic debris is created on land and then it goes into rivers, flows into the ocean and washes up on land," he said. "We've found that plastic debris ends up not only on populated beaches, but on inaccessible islands as well. We've found plastic everywhere on the coast."
The first part of the study gathered debris from 20 sites along Georgia's coast, including Tybee, Cumberland and Ossabaw islands. The debris was reported from volunteer organizations like Clean Coast, which hold monthly beach and marsh cleanups in Georgia.
"The volunteer groups reported the weight of the debris, though we didn't know the exact amount of plastic," Lee said. "Based off the volunteer information we received, we did a follow-up study to more precisely measure the marine debris in a fixed location and period of time."
The total collected debris ranged from 180 to 1,000 kilograms. The levels of plastic debris differed at each site over the course of the study, though plastic was consistently among the mix. Found plastic included bottles, wrappers, food utensils and fragments of fishing gear.
Sanders spearheaded the second part of the study, where she and students collected plastic debris from Skidaway and Wassaw islands over a period of two years.
"While Dr. Lee did data analysis, I did some of the field work," Sanders said. "We picked the two islands in the second part of the study because they were accessible sites where Marine Extension often takes students for marine education."
For the fieldwork, Sanders and students visited the islands each month. They took inventory of what kinds of plastics were on specific areas of the coast.
"On about a monthly basis, I would take students to learn about debris and tally all the items on the islands," Sanders said. "We took areas of 200 meters by 40 meters and recorded the items found. We also used GPS units to mark what areas we had done."
The students, many of them in middle and high school, came from all over Georgia to assist. As part of Marine Extension, Sanders regularly teaches visiting students about marine life. When students volunteered to clean up, she tried to emphasize the issues surrounding debris.
"The bulk of the plastic comes from land," Sanders said. "When people think of marine debris, they think of the ocean. I try to emphasize watershed concepts—what happens upstream ultimately gets downstream."
"It can take years for plastic to degrade," Lee said, adding, "80 percent of the plastic found at Wassaw turned out to be fragments. The fragments then spread and can have a number of environmental effects."
Participants in a July 2014 teacher's workshop focusing on marine debris sift
through the sands of Tybee Island in search of microplastic particles.
Sanders says that since plastic debris is everywhere on the coast, it has to be addressed and reported efficiently to reduce its effects.
"There are proactive and reactive approaches to the issues of marine debris, and both are important," she said. "We've been reactive so far by picking up debris. The proactive approach is our role in educating the public and researching the negative impacts of marine debris."
The study was supported by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Coastal Incentive Grant, NOAA Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative and the NOAA Marine Debris Program.
