Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer, James Sutherland, said a stream of AIS scholars who have trained at the Centre of Excellence (COE) had helped Australian cricket maintain its place as the number one team, however other nations are now catching up with the development of their own cricket programs.
"We need major redevelopment at the Centre of Excellence to keep Australian cricket ahead of the pack and welcome the Federal Government's contribution of $17.5 million of what will be a $35million project," Mr Sutherland said.
Senator George Brandis made the announcement along side some of the country's cricketers, past, present and future, including Matthew Hayden, Shane Watson and Belinda Clark, who is now the COE Manager.
"This funding commitment by the government will be a major boost to the redevelopment plans and will ensure we can provide access to world-class facilities, for cricketers and the community in general," Mr Sutherland said.
"The Cricket Centre of Excellence through the AIS programs has produced some of Australia's greatest male and female cricketers over the last 20 years and its continued development is an important part of our strategy to keep our number one ranking in the world.
Centre of Excellence Manager and former Australian Women's captain, Belinda Clark, said the funding was much needed to ensure the program can stay ahead of the other cricketing nations.
"The Centre of Excellence, supported by the Australian Institute of Sport, provides a wide range of leading-edge training and development initiatives for Australia's top players, coaches and umpires," Clark said.
Over 20 years, the AIS Centre of Excellence has helped to train and develop more than 265 male players with 43 going on to represent Australia in one day internationals, test matches and twenty 20 games.
In addition, 44 female scholarship holders have progressed through the AIS women's cricket program with 33 representing Australia in test, one-day matches and Twenty20 matches.
The likes of Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Karen Rolton and Belinda Clark are among 76 international cricketers who have benefited from the coaching, training and sports medicine facilities provided by the Centre of Excellence at various stages of their careers.

Father Flips Car, Runs Half A Mile To Save Children From Burning Home
Receiving an alert that his house was on fire, a panicking Maryland father flipped his car in an accident, then ran a half-a-mile to save his children from the burning residence.
WCHS-TV reports that after Carlos Pettigrew got the distressing call, on the way to the townhouse he accidentally drove his car into a ditch. He then freed himself and dashed on foot the rest of the way.
"I was going to lose my children, and I wasn't ready for that," Pettigrew told NBC Washington.
Fortunately, the kids, ages 7, 9 and 13 — as well as their 15-year-old cousin — had already exited the home and were safe when Pettigrew arrived. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the flames and save the family dog, who was in the basement. The house was left "blackened and full of debris," however.

The dad was also taken to the hospital for minor injuries sustained in the car crash. The family is currently displaced and receiving assistance. The cause of the fire is unknown. Pettigrew's wife calls the whole thing "a miracle."

Shelling Near Ukraine Nuclear Plant Fuels Disaster Fears; Russia Pounds Donbas
By Pavel Polityuk and Max Hunder
A Ukrainian man checks damage in houses following recent Russian shelling, as Russia's attack in Ukraine continues, in the city of Slovyansk, in Donetsk region, Ukraine August 28,2022.
Russian forces have pounded Ukrainian towns across the river from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, officials said, while reports of shelling around the facility fuelled fears of a radiation disaster.
Captured by Russian troops in March but run by Ukrainian staff, Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, has been a major hotspot in the six-month conflict with both sides trading blame for recent shelling near the plant.
Russian forces fired at Enerhodar, the city where the plant is located, the chief of staff of Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said late on Sunday on his Telegram channel alongside a video of fire fighters dousing burning cars.
"They provoke and try to blackmail the world," chief of staff Andriy Yermak said.
Russian forces also kept up their shelling in the Donbas, Ukraine's industrial heartland in the east, officials there said.
Zelenskiy, in his nightly address on Sunday, vowed "the occupiers will feel their consequences - in the further actions of our defenders".
"No terrorist will be left without an answer for attacks on our cities. Zaporizhzhia, Orykhiv, Kharkiv, Donbas - they will receive an answer for all of them," he said.
Since Russian troops poured over the Ukrainian border in February in what Russian President Vladimir Putin termed a "special military operation," the conflict has settled into a war of attrition fought primarily in the east and south of Ukraine.
'RADIATION NORMAL'
The U.S. State Department said on Sunday that Russia did not want to acknowledge the grave radiological risk at the south Ukraine plant and had blocked a draft agreement on nuclear non-proliferation because it mentioned such risk.
The United Nations and Ukraine have called for a withdrawal of military equipment and personnel from the plant to ensure it is not a target.
However, Russia's defence ministry reported more Ukrainian shelling at the plant over the weekend.
Nine shells fired by the Ukrainian artillery landed in the plant's grounds, Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
"At present, full-time technical personnel are monitoring the technical condition of the nuclear plant and ensuring its operation. The radiation situation in the area of the nuclear power plant remains normal," he said in a statement.
As fears mount of a nuclear accident in a country still haunted by the Chernobyl disaster, Zaporizhzhia authorities are handing out iodine tablets and teaching residents how to use them in case of a radiation leak.
Ukrainian nuclear company Energoatom said it had no new information about attacks on the plant and Reuters could not verify the accounts.
Regional governor Oleksandr Starukh said on Telegram on Sunday that Russian forces struck residential buildings in the main city of Zaporizhzhia, about a two-hour drive from the plant, and the town of Orikhiv further east.
Ukraine's military reported shelling of nine more towns in the area on the opposite side of the Dnipro river, while the Russian state news agency cited authorities as saying they had downed a Ukrainian drone which planned to attack the nuclear-waste storage facility at the plant.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is waiting for clearance for its officials to visit the plant, which the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog has said should be "very, very close". Two of the plant's reactors were cut off from the electrical grid last week due to shelling.
PUSH FOR SANCTIONS
Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine touched off Europe's most devastating conflict since World War Two.
Thousands of people have been killed, millions displaced and cities blasted to ruins. The war has also threatened the global economy with an energy and food supply crisis.
Russian shelling has displaced more civilians in the east, where three quarters of the population has fled the front-line region of Donetsk, the regional governor has said.
Ukrainian police said Russian forces shelled five areas in Donetsk on Sunday.
The United States and its allies have imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its invasion and sent billions of dollars in security assistance to the Ukrainian government.
Russia has said sanctions will never make it change its position on Ukraine and Western arms supplies only drag out the conflict.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba will travel to Sweden and Czech Republic this week and push for more sanctions on Russia, including an EU-wide visa ban for Russians.
European Union foreign ministers meeting this week are unlikely to unanimously back a visa ban on all Russians, EU foreign policy chief told Austria's ORF TV.

Em is waiting for the train to London Bridge, with only these for company: the CCTV camera and a baby in its carrier. With a captive audience, both in the real audience and the infant, she has the freedom to express what's been plaguing her, perhaps for a very long time, and very deep down.
As she mines her experience as a reluctant wife, we learn she has settled for someone she was unlikely to love unconditionally. She has to label his contact information with a song that makes her happy to overcome her natural instincts.
The very nature of 'natural instincts' is unnerving for Em- she recounts off the top of her head several factoids about motherhood in the animal kingdom, from eating one's young to the less grisly. Along with expressing Em's intelligence and anxieties in equal measure, this elucidates the risk in maternity; that for many parents what is natural comes with deep fear of ones own power as a parent. For Em, her relationship with her parents as a child multiplies these worries.
Jemma Gross's direction coupled with Harper's presence intermingle to keep the pace– often the downfall on one- handers — by racing between Em's frenetic state of mind and her quieter reflections. It is never too static, save the baby in the carrier, who serves as a constant reminder either that motherhood is imminent or already arrived for Em. This paranoia serves the story incredibly well, coupled with some details grounded in reality (i.e. phone calls from Em's husband) and others that maintain a nightmarish quality. Harper has been nominated for an Offie for her performance and quite rightfully so. She is engaging and present, alongside manifesting a relatable narrative through specific characterisation.
Missmanaged Theatre, in their first London offering, explore childhood trauma and adulthood disappointment in this affecting piece, commanded excellently by writer/performer Rachel Harper.

Crocodiles in Sri Lanka
Nimal
Post subject: Crocodiles in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has two species of crocodiles. One is the Mugger or Marsh crocodile known specifically as Crocodylus palustris. It is known as the Geta kimbula in Sinhala and Chaanakan in Tamil. The other is the Saltwater or Estuarine crocodile with the specific name Crocodylus porosus. In Sinhala it is known as the Hela kimbula and Semmookan in Tamil.
Jayantha JAYAWARDENE
@ CDN / 20MAR2006
There are 23 species of crocodiles in the world today. The history of the crocodilians dates back to the Triassic period, some 230 million years ago. Alligators and their kin are modern dinosaurs, having existed virtually unchanged for the past 65 million years.
The crocodilians can be broken into four main groups, the alligators, caimans, crocodiles and gharials. Alligators are found only in the South-Eastern United States and in China. Alligators have a short, blunt and rounded snout.
The Chinese alligator is quite small, being about 130 centimeters in length. Caimans are found primarily in Central and South America. There are many types of Caimans. Caimans are normally small and squat reptiles with an extremely toothy grin.
Crocodiles are characterized by a long and tapered snout. They tend to be a light tan to a brownish in colour. There are many species of crocodiles, which are found all over the world. Two species of crocodiles are considered man-eaters the - Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) and the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus).
The Saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile and its hide is the most sought after crocodile skin in the commercial world.
The Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is a large crocodilian which inhabits India, Burma and Pakistan. It is also a rare animal found mainly in the Ganges River. The Gharial has an extremely long and slender snout with a ball like protrusion at the end of it.
Sri Lanka has two species of crocodiles. One is the Mugger or Marsh crocodile known specifically as Crocodylus palustris. It is known as the Geta kimbula in Sinhala and Chaanakan in Tamil.
The other is the Saltwater or Estuarine crocodile with the specific name Crocodylus porosus. In Sinhala it is known as the Hela kimbula and Semmookan in Tamil.
Though the status of the marsh crocodile in Sri Lanka seems to be secure in the sense that there probably are a few thousand spread throughout various water bodies in the island, the status of the saltwater crocodile is doubtful.
This may be for a number of reasons, not the least being that no formal long-term study has been made on either species in Sri Lanka. It is known however that crocodiles have been extirpated from a number of their habitats in the island.
A paradoxical situation exists in respect of these two species of crocodiles in Sri Lanka. There are large numbers of the marsh crocodile spread all over the lowlands of the country whereas the numbers of the marsh crocodile in other countries has decreased greatly and it is considered a threatened species.
On the other hand the number of saltwater crocodiles in Sri Lanka is small whereas they abound in other Asian countries, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Crocodiles are carnivorous reptiles and are generally at the top of the predators in their ecosystem. They feed on fish and keep all species under control not allowing the larger and invasive species to dominate the ecosystem.
They also feed on the weak and sick fish and help to keep the fish populations and water clean and uncontaminated by their scavenging. The presence of crocodiles is an indication of a clean aquatic environment.
Sri Lanka posses three hectares of inland lentic waters for every square kilometer of land. Lentic waters have no movement (as in reservoirs, ponds etc.) whereas waters that flow (like streams, rivers etc.) are called lotic waters.
There are about 12,000 of these man made lakes, known as tanks, located mainly in the dry zone of this country. This is one of the highest densities of inland lakes, tanks, ponds, and other still waters in the world.
Research and surveys carried out earlier show that, both species of crocodiles were widely distributed in suitable habitats throughout much of the country.
The habitats of the Saltwater crocodile are generally confined to the coastal region but sometimes they travel far up rivers having ascended the Kaluganga up to Ratnapura. It occurs in the estuaries of the larger rivers, appearing to prefer water that is only faintly brackish to that which is more saline.
Other habitats include coastal mangroves, marshes, swamps and some inland water bodies. The Marsh crocodile is found widely in tanks, streams, rivers and other suitable inland water bodies. Even though earlier the two species shared habitats in many locations, they now coexist in only a few places.
The Saltwater crocodile had a wider distribution in Sri Lanka than the Marsh species. The Marsh species is mainly restricted to the lowland dry zone of the island. Neither of these two species has been found higher than 150 meters above sea level.
Though there is mention of saltwater crocodiles occurring in the Yala National Park, these are confined to the mangrove marshland area in Kumana.
Recently the Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWLC) has released one large man-eating saltwater crocodile, from the Nilwala Ganga in Matara, into the Bundala National Park.
They have also released another a man-eater that was brought to the Dehiwela Zoo, in the Yala NP. Recently a crocodile took the driver of a group of visitors camping at Bundala.
The body covering that vertebrate animals have is called a skin, which is made of two layers; the outer epidermis and the inner dermis.
In a reptile the outer layer is hardened, dry and tough. The skin of a crocodile consists of epidermal scales modified into plate-like structures called scutes. On the dorsal (top) side of the body bony plates lie beneath the epidermal scutes. These are called osteoderms (bone and skin).
The two species are easily distinguished by their pattern of dorsal osteoderms. The osteoderms of the marsh crocodile are rectangular and aligned to form transverse rows. Its snout is relatively short, wide and has four post occipital scutes where the cranium joins the spine.
The saltwater crocodile has ellipsoid osteoderms, which are separated from one another by epidermis. It has an elongate snout. The place where the head joins the body is covered with small, granular scales. It has no big scutes.
The adult marsh crocodile is dorsally a dark olive green in colour shading into brown, with black or dark brown bars and spots.
Ventrally it is white with faint traces of dark gray transverse bands interrupted mesially. None of the black markings extend beyond two rows of scales and are relatively constant in size.
The saltwater crocodile is dorsally a brassy yellow colour spotted and blotched with black in four or five irregular transverse rows, ventrally it is pale yellow with dark spots under the hind limbs and subcaudals.
Once the animal grows to about three meters long, the dorsal colour is almost a uniform black, the head and jaws yellow, and densely speckled with black.
Different individuals of the marsh crocodile have been known to vary in their temperament. Animals from one locality might be ferocious, while others from the neighbouring swamps or reservoirs will permit people to bathe or fish in their abodes with impunity.
On the other hand the Saltwater crocodile is usually a man-eater and even today claims many human victims.
Crocodiles spend most of the time in the water but are not comfortable in waters that are deeper than about 10 meters. During times of drought crocodiles which have been harassed by man leave the water when it reaches a certain level but which is seemingly still ample for their safety.
Other individuals in jungle swamps remote from villages continue in them so long as any moisture remains.
Young crocodiles emit croaks whilst adults croak and also emit a bellowing grunt, which can be heard for a great distance.
Crocodiles are seen regularly on the banks of rivers, tanks etc., sometimes with their mouths open. This basking is to regulate the temperature of their bodies through heat dispersal.
In the 1970s fishermen netted many crocodiles to make 'jerky' (dried meat) or to get rid of them because they were considered a nuisance to their bathing, fishing etc.
The destruction of the mangrove and marsh habitats of the saltwater crocodile has resulted in the depletion of its numbers. This destruction is due mainly to increasing urbanization and wanton destruction.
Some of the breeding habits of the two species differ. The marsh crocodile buries its eggs in soft sandy soil and decaying leaf matter mainly on riverbanks and tanks whilst the saltwater crocodile builds a mound-like nest often using the flag plant (Lagenthera toxicaria), but any reeds, pandanus, palms, thick grass etc will also do. The vegetation with which the nest is built decomposes as time goes on and generates heat necessary for incubation.
Romulus Whittaker tells me that the females start to breed from about 6 to 8 years of age in the marsh crocodile and 10 to 12 years in the saltwater crocodile. The males mature when they are older.
The marsh species usually breeds once a year but at his Madras Crocodile Bank, they have bred twice a year. The saltwater crocodile breeds only once a year. It is likely that the two monsoons that occur annually in the island have a bearing on the breeding regimes of the two species.
Most females remain near their nest during incubation and protect it from predators. On hatching, vocalizations made by the hatchlings induce the female to assist the hatchlings to emerge from the egg. In some cases the mother carries the tiny babies to the water in her mouth.
The sex of the hatchlings is determined by temperature. More males are born during periods of high temperatures. The hatchlings remain together near the mother for several months, deriving a certain amount of protection from her.
As they grow and become more widely dispersed and independent, the majority of the offspring perish due to predation by monitor lizards, wild pigs, feral dogs etc. - some are even eaten by other larger crocodiles.
In earlier times the local communities used to construct special 'crocodile proof' enclosures along most of the rivers that drain out into the sea in the southwest coast of the island.
These enclosures were used by them to bathe in comparative safety. The fences were constructed with railway sleepers planted in the water with two opposite sides coming well up the bank. However now with the decrease in the Saltwater crocodiles less and less of these enclosures are seen.
Charles Santiapillai who carried out a preliminary survey has confirmed the presence of crocodiles in the Jaffna peninsula. Both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles are present. For a long time it was believed that crocodiles had been extirpated from the Jaffna peninsula.
Though globally secure as a species, the saltwater species is in extreme danger of extirpation from Sri Lanka due to the reasons given above and the attitude of the local communities towards this crocodile. The reputation it has as a man-eater being the main reason for this dislike.
Both species of crocodiles in the island are threatened by many human activities. The destruction or alteration of their natural habitat is one.
The destruction and clearing of wetland crocodile habitats can take many forms. The most obvious being drainage and infilling, deforestation and conversion to agricultural use.
Commercial overexploitation, to a lesser extent, and indiscriminate killing also has a bearing on crocodile populations. In many areas crocodile meat is dried and sold as items purported to be of medicinal value or as dried shark fish. Dried crocodile meat is supposed to be a cure for asthma.
The removal of the important shelter plant (Lagenandra toxicaria), which the Saltwater crocodile uses for nest material along the west coast has affected its breeding.
Crocodile nests face egg and hatchling predation from land monitors (Varanus salvator), stray dogs, crows and egrets. This predation if unchecked could lead to rapid decrease in crocodile populations.
The conservation of crocodiles is dependent upon good management practices, maintenance of habitats in as undisturbed state as possible and the successful coexistence between crocodiles and humans.
Successful crocodile management and conservation poses many problems. Many who have to live near crocodiles usually regard them as dangerous and perceive a need to destroy them.
Both species on the island require complete protection through legal means in protected areas and also preservation in captivity. Fishing, which is an important source of income to local communities, is hampered by the presence of crocodiles.
However, conservation measures should also consider a more creative approach that provides incentives to people living with crocodiles to offset their real and perceived losses and costs. Many countries have crocodile farms, which not only cater to the trade demand for crocodile skins but also assist in the conservation of the species.
Crocodile skins are used for the manufacture of ladies handbags, shoes, belts and other products. It is difficult to start such ventures in this country due to its Buddhist background, which abhors killing.
Conservation programmes need to start now. The development of a policy for crocodiles is the first step that the Sri Lankan Government has to take. Based on this policy a strategy has to be worked out.
A management and conservation plan which should also include a budget and time scale should be developed. Trained and dedicated personnel should implement this plan if it is to help successfully save the crocodile populations in Sri Lanka.

Poser 11: Model damaged / looks weird after export to collada.
my models (tested with Ryan and James) are looking weird after export them to collada.
If "include rigging" is disabled in the export options the models are fine.
Since i am very new to Poser maybe i forgot something. I also tried different export options but nothing worked for me.
This is most likely an issue with the limits of preview. Try figures Paul or Andy and they will work in preview.


CP Dental is pleased to provide patients with the option of in-chair IV Sedation. This procedure is ideal for patients who struggle with anxiety about undergoing dental treatment and some special needs patients. A consultation is required for all patients considering IV Sedation. Throughout an IV Sedation the patient is awake but extremely relaxed and can rarely recall the procedure afterwards. IV Sedation is currently only offered at CP Dental Coopers Plains.
CP Dental is pleased to provide extractions and some implant surgery under general anaesthesia at Sunnybank Private Hospital and Emerald Hospital. In most cases restorative procedures such as fillings are performed under IV Sedation rather than general anaesthesia. All patients considering general anaesthesia will require a consultation by a CP Dental practitioner.

The mission of the Sonoma County Grape Growers Foundation is for Sonoma County grape growers to be agriculture leaders in social sustainability through partnerships and programs that support the skilled agricultural workforce and their families who sustain farming in Sonoma County.
Role in Community
The Sonoma County Grape Growers Foundation convenes and collaborates with community-based organizations and government agencies to identify resources, leverage support and design programs that improve the lives and support of local agricultural employees and their families.
A lack of support for agricultural employees in the way of affordable housing, childcare, education, healthcare and workforce development is not new, but our approach to providing these services is new.
Our partnerships and collaboration in the community accelerate change by connecting resources to the community in need.
We leverage ideas, people, networks and dollars as creatively and efficiently as possible.
Our success is measured by impact, not by spending.
SCGGF is dedicated to help make affordable, high quality childcare available to agricultural employees and their children. We are advocates of creating a new affordable childcare model that offers flexible timers and financial credits to ag employees who work hours fluctuate depending throughout the year. We are currently working with established childcare resources and providers to determine the best solution to this dilemma.
Our vision for education is to increase, inspire and develop the next generation of farmers and ag employees in Sonoma County. To achieve this goal, we aim to provide ag education support and resources for teachers and their students.
Teacher Externship Program: In partnership with the Sonoma County Office of Education and the Sonoma County Career Technical Education Foundation, we recently piloted a Teacher Externship program. Teachers from two Sonoma County high schools participated in ag education outside the classroom for a week long deep dive into Sonoma County agriculture. The overall goal of the program was to give the teachers a broad overview of Sonoma County agriculture, immerse them in the history, value and challenges of ag so they have a deeper understanding and appreciation. From this, they will develop an ag based curriculum and one of the schools plans on planting a vineyard. This experience will help them write the curriculum their students will learn from. This program is a wonderful opportunity for us to highlight Sonoma County agriculture and educate teachers in hopes of developing the next generation of Sonoma County farmers.
Little Library Project: In collaboration with United Way of Wine Country and the Sonoma County Career Technical Education Foundation, we funded Little Free Libraries in Sonoma County. Little Free Libraries provide 24/7 access to books where books are scarce. Especially during the summer months, Little Free Libraries are an excellent resource for local families and children. These libraries were placed in targeted agricultural worker family communities (Ortiz Plaza in Larkfield and La Luz in Sonoma Valley) to support family literacy and education."
We worked with key partners to better understand and address the health disparities that Sonoma County ag employees and their families face. After hosting a series of roundtable discussions with vineyard employees over the summer, we also learned directly from them on issues that are of most importance to them and their community. This helped us ensure the Foundation's strategic priorities match the needs most important to our agricultural workforce. From this, we identified that we can help by connecting them with existing programs and resources that can assist with health and dental preventative care and children's wellness.
Sonoma County provides many opportunities for agricultural workers to advance their education, skill development and careers. By collaborating with partners on educational programs, our goal is to increase the skill set of ag employees and create leaders in the ag community.
ESL Programs: Provided funding for an English as a Second Language (ESL) program for adults. This program also provided childcare/homework time for the children and a network and education for the parents.
Vineyard Employee Sustainability Recognition Program: Sustaining a family farm requires love, commitment and hard work. We are proud to recognize the people who help us grow the worlds highest quality grapes. For more information or to nominate an employee, please click here.
SCGGF is committed to being part of the solution for the affordable housing crisis in Sonoma County. Our goal is for ag employees and their families to have adequate and affordable housing available for both temporary and permanent residents.
Wildfire Relief Fund: After the wildfires ravaged Sonoma County in October 2017, SCGGF acted quickly to establish a Wildfire Housing Support Fund, which raised more than $1 million dollars to support Sonoma County agricultural workers impacted by the fires. Donors from across the United States made investments to this fund which allowed SCGGF to help more than 280 agricultural workers and their families impacted by the fires. SCGGF provided immediate support to 433 adults and 137 children by assisting with new and/or temporary housing and providing gift cards to supplement lost wages, purchase new household items, food, supplies and help with utility bills. We remain committed to providing this support and addressing the long-term need for affordable housing for ag workers in Sonoma County.
The October wildfires that began in Sonoma County on October 8th left more than 100,000 residents county-wide displaced from their homes—many of whom permanently lost those homes. At final count, 5,100 homes across Sonoma County were destroyed, and of that total, 5% of all Santa Rosa homes were lost.
SCGGF Application for Wildfire Housing Support Fund for Ag Employees and Their Families: If you are an ag employee who or whose family has been impacted or displaced by the Sonoma County wildfires and are seeking assistance, please click the buttons below to apply in English or Spanish. Once you have completed the form, email it to [email protected] For questions, please call 707-522-5868.
Ortiz Family Plaza: We raised over $100,000 in critical funding needed to support the construction of Ortiz Family Plaza in Santa Rosa. The rent for this 30-unit affordable housing complex for farmer worker families is capped at 30% of the total family income lessening the burden to afford essentials such as food, health care and transportation. Construction for Ortiz Family Plaza has been completed and is currently now accepting applications. To apply, please call 707.526.1155 x4743.

Et tu, Brute? Haiti's betrayal by Latin America
Without Haiti's help, there would not have been any independent country in Latin America. On January 1, 1816, when Simon Bolivar arrived in Haiti, downtrodden and desperate for help to fight the Spanish, the only two republics in the Western Hemisphere were the United States, where slave ownership was in force, and Haiti, which had fought for and earned its independence in what is still the only successful slave rebellion ever in the world.
Child refugees: When children are 'the enemy'
I've been watching for days now as media reports display the growing hatred at the arrival of Central American children across the Mexican-U.S. border. American voices crackle with bile as they begin the drumbeat for their immediate deportation. They are refugees from want and war, almost all the result of U.S. interventions in Central America in support of murderous military governments and the mindless drug war.
What is happening in Venezuela?
On Feb. 12, Venezuelan Youth Day and the commemoration of the independence battle of La Victoria, some university students and traditional conservative opposition groups took to the streets in Venezuela. It quickly became obvious that the principal purpose of the protests was to destabilize the government and seek the ouster of the democratically elected president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.
So much is at stake in Venezuela's presidential election
In tomorrow's special election for president of Venezuela, it's not just the revolution in Venezuela that's at stake, but also the fate of the socialist and revolutionary movements currently flourishing throughout Latin America. The Bolivarian Revolution is just that important. Nicolas Maduro understands that his challenge will be to live up to the legacy of President Hugo Chavez. Tomorrow, Venezuelan voters will almost certainly give him the opportunity.
Chavez' legacy, African solidarity and the African American people
President Comandante Hugo Chavez Frias will be remembered for his efforts in the transformation of Venezuela and Latin America away from the dominance of United States imperialism. Chavez championed socialism, national liberation and international solidarity. He reaffirmed the indigenous and African roots of Venezuelan and Latin American culture and society.
Hugo Chávez knew that his revolution depended on women
The funeral of President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela took place on International Women's Day – a fitting day of departure. Chávez was not the first movement leader who went on to head the government, to have understood women's centrality to creating the new society they were striving to build. Presidents of Tanzania and Haiti have also benefited from making women central to progress.
Victory for Chávez is a victory for Latin America
With 54.42 percent of a record-turnout vote, Hugo Chávez has won a fourth term as president of Venezuela, in a race widely recognized as a crucial struggle between the progressive forces of the "Bolivarian Revolution" and the right-wing opposition of U.S.-backed Henrique Capriles.
Bye-bye, MINUSTAH!
As one of his first measures in office, Brazilian Defense Minister Celso Amorim plans to conclude Brazil's participation in the notorious United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Various sectors of the Brazilian government, including Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, agree with Mr. Amorim, who says that the important thing now is to formulate an exit strategy. This story has now been translated into French and Spanish; the translations follow the English version.
Massive land grabs in Africa by U.S. hedge funds and universities
"A new report claims farmers in Africa are being driven off their lands to make way for vast new industrial farming projects backed by hedge funds seeking profits and foreign countries looking for cheap food. "
The Black mayor of Waterproof, Louisiana, has spent nearly a year...
A legal dispute in the rural Louisiana town of Waterproof has attracted the attention of national civil rights organizations and activists. Waterproof Mayor Bobby Higginbotham has been held without bail since May of 2010.
Black Friday 2010 'Housing Harvest' occupation
On Black Friday 2010, at 16th and Mission in San Francisco, Creative Housing Liberation held a "Housing Harvest" rally with songs and speeches followed by a tour of four vacant neighborhood properties. Creative Housing Liberation would like to invite "all kinds of folks, including families," to be involved in future housing occupations and demonstrations.
Haiti and Honduras: End military coups and occupations
The universal condemnation of the military coup in Honduras by Latin American governments is unprecedented. If this dictatorship is allowed to stay in power, no democratically elected government is safe. Just as President Obama promised a more respectful relationship between the U.S. and the rest of America – we are faced with another coup with U.S. military complicity.
CIA report: Israel will fall in 20 years
The CIA report predicts "an inexorable movement away from a two-state to a one-state solution as the most viable model based on democratic principles of full equality that sheds the looming specter of colonial apartheid while allowing for the return of the 1947-1948 and 1967 refugees. The latter being the precondition for sustainable peace in the region."

Mountain Women Mean Business
By Aimee Nielson

"When you grow up here, you think you're successful if you get out," Kristin Smith said of Eastern Kentucky. Growing up on a Whitley County farm, Smith believed that. After she graduated from college, she got about as far away from Eastern Kentucky as she could—as a missionary to China. After her two-year commitment was complete, she decided to stay a while longer translating Chinese restaurant menus to English. Then the call came.
Her grandfather back in Kentucky was ill, and she needed to return to help keep the farm afloat.
"I never thought I would go back home," she said. "All my friends were like 'Of all people, we never thought you would come back.' I decided to give it five years."
That was 11 years ago, and now Smith has turned her passion for the farm into a thriving downtown business in Corbin called The Wrigley Taproom, where she serves up tasty recipes using locally raised beef, pork, poultry, and produce in a uniquely renovated space.
"I always had a hard time selling the things we produced on the farm for a good price," she said.
"So I started cooking it, adding value, and selling at the local farmers market. That turned into sort of a food truck, and it just took off."
Mountain Women Network
Smith traveled to Harlan last fall to join other innovative women, fierce fire-starters in small town revitalization projects throughout Eastern Kentucky, at the Mountain Women Mean Business Conference. The attendees shared challenges, solutions, and tales about how they are fueling growth and excitement with their out-of-the-box ideas and tenacious spirits in the Promise Zone, a cluster of eight counties in Southeastern Kentucky where local leaders partner with the federal government to improve communities.
The conference was led by the Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky, part of the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
"We were trying to capture a lot of the wisdom that is out there already in the field," said Sky Marietta, CEDIK staff member and UK arts extension specialist. "If you go to our main streets in Eastern Kentucky, and you look at the businesses that are popping up over and over again, you will find that women are behind them."
Smith said the conference was helpful to her in many ways, but she was especially impressed at how much other women entrepreneurs were willing to share.
"One thing women are generally very good at is being vulnerable," Smith explained. "We aren't afraid to share the good and the bad and to learn from each other. The time is now for us to hold each other up, to support each other."
Mountain Women Have Purpose
One of the featured panelists at the conference was Mae Suramek. Her parents are Thai who settled in Chicago. While growing up in Chicago means she's not a native Kentuckian, Suramek got here as fast as she could. Twenty-five years ago, she came to the Bluegrass state to attend Berea College. After graduating, she continued to work at the college as the alumni director and then worked as the executive director of a rape crisis center.
"I spent my days throwing (fundraising) events and asking people for money," she said. "I just felt like something was off. I was very exhausted and felt like I wasn't doing as much good as I wanted to."
During a reunion, Suramek hosted about 30 people in her home and prepared a favorite meal from her childhood—her mother's curry noodle bowl. She said every bowl was wiped clean, and the food seemed to really bring people together.
"After that, my husband Adam and I quit our jobs. Neither of us had ever worked in the restaurant business before, but we had a vision to create epic noodle bowls and change the world," she laughed.
Thus began their venture of buying and renovating an old theater building and opening Noodle Nirvana in Berea. They brought Mae's family recipes and began to source as many local ingredients as possible.
Each morning, Suramek makes her way to the restaurant at 4 a.m. to create the flavorful broths essential to their menu. She kept thinking about how the space was wasted and decided to explore a way to add value to the building. Once when visiting New York City, Suramek came across a shop churning out tiny donuts to long lines of customers. With no donut shop in Berea, it was a natural fit. So now the business is Hole and Corner Donuts in the morning and Noodle Nirvana in the afternoon. But that's still not the whole story.
The first Tuesday of each month, they donate part of their proceeds to a nonprofit. They stick with one nonprofit each year so they can really make a difference.
"We also start all our employees at $10 an hour, so we can donate 100 percent of tips to our nonprofit," she said. "At the core of what we do, we want to make sure our patrons know we belong to each other. We even put that phrase on the wall. It's a daily reminder of why we quit our jobs and started a business with one of the highest failure rates and the lowest profit margins in the world."
When she started, Suramek thought she might sell 30 noodle bowls a day. Currently they churn out between 700 and 1,000 bowls a week, far surpassing her initial expectations.
"We feel so fortunate that we have great people who want to be a part of something bigger than the daily grind," she smiled. "Because, it's not easy to work in food service."
Mountain Women Lead
Marietta is taking her own advice to heart and leading the way in Corbin. She and her husband Geoff purchased and renovated an old department store building on Main Street. She operates a gift shop and bar on the first floor called Moonbow, paying homage to the phenomenon at local Cumberland Falls. Customers can purchase arts, crafts, and other items from local artisans and partners. The rest of the building serves as event and meeting space and a business incubator-style office space for local entrepreneurs.
Already thinking of the future, the Mariettas purchased a building in downtown Harlan and plan to begin renovating it soon to try and be part of revitalizing another small town business district.
"We are really working on a duplicable business model for other areas of Eastern Kentucky," she said. "We are trying to lead the way and teach women that they can do this, from learning to use technology and social media to understanding taxes and business practices."
Women entrepreneurs in Harlan are following suit. Establishments like Sassy Trash, Roundabout Records, Harlan Yoga and Taco Holler are all woman-owned and paving the way for others to join the movement.
"Entrepreneurism is not just for the guys," said Sandi Curd, Promise Zone coordinator and Whitley County farmer.
"Our Promise Zone women have seized the opportunity, gritted their teeth, and then taken the risk. The revitalization and diversification of our southeastern Kentucky economy takes everyone upping their game, and I am so proud of the mountain women who have seen fit to do so."
Mountain Women Come Home
Smith hopes that the idea of having to leave to be successful will go by the wayside. She is glad for the time she spent away from home, because it gave her something that she can give back to Eastern Kentucky.
"Success called me back home," she said.
There's a long table in The Wrigley, made from wood Smith brought from the farm. It's 24-feet long. They made it that way to encourage patrons to sit together.
"The most rewarding thing for me is watching community happen right here," she said. "It's actually happening. I see people sitting together, talking, finding solutions to local challenges, and just enjoying each other."
There is plenty of room for other women at the entrepreneurial table. Smith said they just need to be willing to take a risk, test market their products and ideas, ask for help, and work together.
"Go for it," she encouraged. "Do what you want to do with your life, with whatever skill you might have. But don't be afraid to learn new ones."

Gazing back at where I've been I see a path dotted with stones. They form an impeccable passageway through jungles and deserts, darkness and light. When I think back, I remember how precarious each step seemed. Some stones swayed, others seemed just out of reach. I stalled on some, staying so long by body grew weary. Others came and went without so much as a nod. But, each stride compelled me forward in a direction I could never have foreseen.
On the path, the stepping stones that lead to absolute forgiveness (the realization there is nothing to forgive) are our feelings and the relationship we have to the events and people in our lives. Other stones are rendered from love for the self and empathy for others. All are needed to find our way to the other side.
The destination is a type of freedom too few comprehend. It is abiding gratitude for each and every cobblestone and the space in between them, knowing through the chaos harmony reigns. It is seeing the path for what it truly is: perfect for all its quirks and interludes.
What lies beyond forgiveness is freedom from the illusion of past and future. It is a beacon shining brilliantly on this moment.
The journey is filled with pebbles of sadness for the mother you wished you'd had. Anger variegated with intrusions of contempt for the injustice of violence. The sands of grieving for the child lost or love squandered. Regret for not being the person you thought you should be. More anger. More sadness. The sharp edges of humiliation and shame.
There is no way out but through. It may seem like you're about to dive headfirst into quicksand but that is only fear. Stand on the stones of your pain, and you will not sink. You will heal, and the next step will appear underfoot.
As we pause on each stone and allow the pain to come and go, we learn to respond with love for the self. Rather than an analysis of whether or not we should feel the way we do or defending ourselves with indignation and self-righteousness, we simply express the same compassion we would to a loved one or a child. This isn't difficult to do, but it takes practice. Most of us have been taught to be relentlessly critical of ourselves, but our true nature is one of love. With a little rehearsal, tenderness will become one of your greatest assets.
Balancing on the steppingstone of connection and understanding for those who have hurt us isn't easy. These stones are especially shaky because we want to defend, to distance. But, empathy is an important part of healing. It doesn't mean we have to trust or reconcile; it just means seeing our common humanity and recognizing that what others do is not about us.
The path to forgiveness must be walked through all of the feelings we have. This is one of the few demands healing decrees. Freedom cannot be won by simply saying, "I forgive you." The gratitude and joy that live beyond forgiveness are only accessed by walking on the stones, honoring how we feel without judgment or opinion, responding with tenderness, and moving on when the chaos that runs between each rock retreats long enough for us to rise up on tippy-toe, take a deep breath, and leap.
May your journey lead you back to you.


"All About Sea Ice" offers a glimpse of the characteristics and different forms of sea ice, why it is so important to our environment, and popular scientific methods for studying it. Sample images from data illustrate the type of information scientists seek to learn about sea ice. If you want a more in-depth, scientific discussion on the thermodynamics and physics of sea ice, visit the "Processes" section. Finally, we describe how sea ice affected explorers who struggled to reach the poles.
Sea ice is simply frozen ocean water. It forms, grows, and melts in the ocean. In contrast, icebergs, glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves all originate on land. Sea ice occurs in both the Arctic and Antarctic. In the Northern Hemisphere, it can currently exist as far south as Bohai Bay, China (approximately 38 degrees north latitude), which is actually about 700 kilometers (435 miles) closer to the Equator than it is to the North Pole. In the Southern Hemisphere, sea ice only develops around Antarctica, occurring as far north as 55 degrees south latitude.
Sea ice grows during the winter months and melts during the summer months, but some sea ice remains all year in certain regions. About 15 percent of the world's oceans are covered by sea ice during part of the year.
Even though sea ice occurs primarily in the polar regions, it influences our global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface, so much of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. As a result, areas covered by sea ice don't absorb much solar energy, so temperatures in the polar regions remain relatively cool. If gradually warming temperatures melt sea ice over time, fewer bright surfaces are available to reflect sunlight back into space, more solar energy is absorbed at the surface, and temperatures rise further. This chain of events starts a cycle of warming and melting. This cycle is temporarily halted when the dark days of the polar winter return, but it starts again in the following spring. Even a small increase in temperature can lead to greater warming over time, making the polar regions the most sensitive areas to climate change on Earth.
Sea ice also affects the movement of ocean waters. When sea ice forms, most of the salt is pushed into the ocean water below the ice, although some salt may become trapped in small pockets between ice crystals. Water below sea ice has a higher concentration of salt and is more dense than surrounding ocean water, and so it sinks. In this way, sea ice contributes to the ocean's global "conveyor-belt" circulation. Cold, dense, polar water sinks and moves along the ocean bottom toward the equator, while warm water from mid-depth to the surface travels from the equator toward the poles. Changes in the amount of sea ice can disrupt normal ocean circulation, thereby leading to changes in global climate (for more information, see Sea Ice and Global Climate).
Can you drink melted sea ice?
New ice is usually very salty because it contains concentrated droplets called brine that are trapped in pockets between the ice crystals, and so it would not make good drinking water. As ice ages, the brine eventually drains through the ice, and by the time it becomes multiyear ice, nearly all of the brine is gone. Most multiyear ice is fresh enough that someone could drink its melted water. In fact, multiyear ice often supplies the fresh water needed for polar expeditions. See Salinity and Brine in the Characteristics section for more information.

With the temperature on a tremendous rise, the only trend that I am happy being in, is the 'Slip Dress'! Reminiscent of the '90s, this is definitely going to be my summer uniform this year.
For my love of bringing out the versatility of a garment, I decided to create six looks with my silky finish slip from H&M. It's going to be a three part series, make sure you catch 'em all.
I planned to keep this look as a fancy daytime ensemble by wearing the slip dress as a top, knotted at the waist alongwith distressed denims & a printed summer blazer. Paired this style with dainty earrings and mules for a structured, feminine look!
Finally, adedd subtle hint of pink lipstick & a side bun, before heading out!
You can also sport this look at work by switching the denims with a pair of trousers & a matching blazer. Pant-suit lovin'?
I shot this look at this amazing place called Pitstop BrewPub (in Gurgaon), for its eccentric interiors comprising old rustic wooden panelling and quirky furniture, with soft lighting!
And for a food magnet like me the delicacies were a cherry of the cake.
PART 2 would be up soon. So stay tuned.

On Thursday November 7th, the Florida Supreme Court heard arguments regarding whether the cities of Orlando and Aventura violated any state laws by approving the use of red-light camera programs.
The end results of this legal battle could have an impact on red-light camera use in Southwest Florida. Proponents of the devices claim they help prohibit red-light runners, especially those who roll through a red-light right turn without coming to a complete stop. They feel the cameras will help reduce the chances of a serious car crash.
The cases from the two cities have been combined, and came from ordinances that Orlando and Aventura passed prior to the Florida Legislature approved a law in 2010 allowing the use of the high-tech cameras to take pictures of people running stop lights, and the establishment of regulatory guidelines.
According to The Sun-Sentinel, the Orlando case going before the court Thursday involved a ticket issued to Michael Udowychenko in 2009 over a red light he allegedly ran, resulting in a fine of $125 and $30 in court costs.
His attorney, Jason Weisser, said the cameras were installed unlawfully and the ticketing system operated without sufficient legal safeguards for the alleged violators.
The Supreme Court Justices looked closely at whether the cities were "pre-empted from not following State traffic ordinances in their efforts to nab red-light runners. Some of the key points included whether Orlando and Aventura had been imposing fines that were not in alignment with State penalties.
One Justice noted that to him, "it seems pretty clear (that) what we have here are additional penalties that are imposed". But an attorney representing the City of Orlando believes that State traffic laws delegate authority in numerous ways, and therefore Orlando's red-light camera ordinances are legal.
While Lee County has never utilized the cameras, Collier County started their program in April 2009, but discontinued it in February 2010. During that span, the County issued 34,891 tickets to alleged red-light runners.
These devices have been quite controversial, and several cities and municipalities throughout Florida use them. Many people in addition to law enforcement support them, but critics question whether they are just a thinly-veiled attempt to fatten the coffers of those who use them.
We will keep this blog updated with new information regarding the Florida Supreme Court rulings.
If someone you know has been injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by a driver who ran a red light – with or without a camera – you need to consider the hiring of an experienced personal injury attorney. We invite you to call our offices at 1-888-461-2919 for a no-cost consultation to review the circumstances of your case.

Q: Amazon SP-API get shipping addresses for all orders In the old MWS "getOrders" api call, there was in the response a field for each order named "shippindAddress" which I could use to create my shipping labels.
In the new SP-API in the getOrders there is no such field. Instead you can get the shipping address via "/orders/v0/orders/{orderId}/address ". But you should call this api for each order (>100) and the rate is set for 1 per second.. So for 100 orders I will have to wait over 1.5 mins to get all addresses.
Is there a possibility to get all order with shipping addresses ? Or to increase the request limit ?

A: you should use restricted data token for buyer info and detailed address info, instead of "/orders/v0/orders/{orderId}/address" endpoint

so this isn't saying anything.
Perhaps I don't do anything, I just sit on a rock somewhere in the outer reaches of someone's mind and physically manifest myself via mental means.
Thinking and being aren't the same thing. But they're connected. Without being, how could you think? Thinking is an act... and an act requires existence. Therefore the fact that yer thinkin' implies that you exist. I think, therefore I am.
It is only when something is thought or experienced that it exists. What exists except for thought? All other 'existence' is only in thought.
Thus, thinking and being are the same thing.
Maybe i believe in this.
I am (stuck inside this machine) there for i think in my suposed free thoughts.
Do you work along with your machine? or are you always fighting with it?
but what is being, strictly speaking ?
You "are" just to "think" in that.
if you think and therefore you are, what are those who choose not to think? do they simply not exist, or do they exist only to be led by those who do think? and for that matter, why is thinking the supposed acknowledgement of being? there are many creatures who think much less than humans and can still be seen as more advanced in many ways. Is thinking being? or is being being?
in order to exist, one must choose to exist.
so if you don't think, you can't exist, because you can't choose to.
is that so? well it certainly seems to be! look at the people who are logged into the matrix as the perfect example. they have the set rules that they are taught, and lead their lives accordingly. they have the rules and restricitons that are taught to them upon them, and cannot advance beyond this spectrum that they believe in.
The people outside the matrix are the exact opposite. they understand the system and how to defeat it. they bend and break the rules frequently, because they think that they are able to.
Its the choice and anything is possible themes again. how many times ARE we gonna see these two here?
Life exists only in thought. The body exists only to provide the mind with necessary resources. Yet, should the body not exist, the mind would lack said resources, and therefore cease to exist. Thus, if one thinks, it implies that their body exists. I think, therefore I am.
Or you are therefore you think?
"you are therefore you think"
interesting. but if you are already, why must you think? if you already exist there is no reason for thought because thought would be irrelevant.
"i think, therefore i am" meaning that to think means you are alive gives meaning and a sense of purpose to the exsistance of yourself in a said reality.
The Zion ship Logos (<Gk. word?)brings this to mind: the thought or word itself is launched outward upon the void.
or maybe you think therefore you are, and you are therefore you think.


I've been mia for a lirru bit because exams and a whole lot more other things you can put together and give a general term 'life' happened but thanks to an amazing brand known as FAAB Clothing a pret-a-porter an online fashion brand for dragging me out of my shell. The faab clothing brand is all about comfort and affordability. Their designs are stylish yet timeless for women who are constantly on the move and does not care about trends or what is in vogue right now. Inline with this, alot of FAAB designs are very easy to wear from shorts to flared dresses, bubus, playsuits and so on. In today's post and a couple more posts this week, I'd be sharing with you some of my favorite picks from the brand.
My favorite things about this outfit aka the CADNE SET, is how it makes for a perfect alternative to the usual Monday blues as I've styled it for work on this post, the tailoring is also perfect but my only con is the fact that although true to size, the blouse and pants are a little bit longer than seen on the model because I'm down to earth, a physical feature you humans call short. If you're down to earth like me, the blouse is long enough to serve as a mini dress you can totally wear for an after work outing. Red isn't a color you'd regularly catch me in even though this red dress is one of my wardrobe favorites but this two piece from faabclothing caught my eye and just as I had imagined (I'm not the only one that does this right?) I looked just right against my skin and I'm already considering purchasing a lot more red pieces. On this note I wish you an amazing new week and can't wait to share with you all the other FAAB content I've got up my sleeves (pun intended).
Ps : This is a sponsored post but all images and words are mine in all sincerity.
Love always… What do you think of a red on red outfit? Will you wear this to work? Do share your thoughts on this post with me by leaving a comment, thanks.
I doubt I'll wear a red on red outfit to work but it's definitely an outfit I'd love to rock!
I love this look cos its looks very comfortable.
I don't own any red clothing. No particular reason though, just coincidence.

Thanks for commenting on this old request.
Your input could have more impact on that thread than on this one.
There are many ways to obtain an array from enumerables (to_a, map, ...).
There is no natural way to obtain a hash from an enumerable (except for Hash[some_array]).
There is a Hash::to_a but no Array::to_hash.
key, value = yield(key, value) if block_given?
Since Hash::to_a returns an array of key-value pairs, I fell it's natural that a block to construct a Hash should return key-value pairs.
This definition has nice symmetric properties: for any Hash h, the following all return a copy of h.

Nation Marks Subdued Independence Movement Anniversary amid Pandemic
Posted on March 1, 2021 by Korea Bizwire in National, Social Affairs with 0 Comments

SEOUL, March 1 (Korea Bizwire) — South Koreans commemorated the 102nd anniversary of the March 1 Independence Movement with smaller, subdued commemorations Monday as the nation is battling the coronavirus pandemic.
The national holiday is usually observed with large ceremonies, processions and performances remembering the months of popular uprisings against Japan's colonial rule (1910-45), which started in Seoul on March 1, 1919.
About 2 million people participated in the protests across the county and more than 7,500 were killed, according to historians.
The government held its annual national ceremony to mark the anniversary at Tapgol Park in central Seoul, known as the birthplace of the historic movement.
Under tight COVID-19 restrictions, the ceremony was held in a small scale as it was last year, with only about 50 people, including President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook, attending.
Local governments had their own small ceremonies to commemorate the anniversary and award people of national merit.
But most other commemorative events have been either canceled or turned online this year again.
Seodaemun Prison History Hall, a former colonial prison in central Seoul, called off its annual Independence Movement Day program, which included plays, marches, hands-on activities and prison tours, and drew about 30,000 visitors in previous years.
The museum will allow only 150 visitors per hour to tour the prison complex, where many independence fighters, including leaders of the March 1 movement, were detained, tortured and killed.
The city government of Seoul canceled its official bell-ringing ceremony and curtailed other events.
The district office of Jongno, where the March 1 march started, also suspended its tours of main venues of the protests in the city center for the second consecutive year.

The state-run Independence Hall of Korea has organized a campaign encouraging citizens to post on social media photos of themselves or others raising hands, holding up the national flag and shouting "Hurray! Korean Independence," the slogan of the March 1 resistance movement.
One of them is Bae Moon-hee, a 42-year-old mother, who posted a picture of her 8-year-old daughter.
"I took part in this online campaign as opportunities to participate in in-person events are limited. It was a meaningful time as we tried to sense the longing for independence of that day while we shouted 'Hurray!'" she said.
Civic groups, such as the Young Korean Academy, also organized virtual events to honor the independence movement.
The group founded by Ahn Chang-ho, a independence movement leader, was to hold a March 1 ceremony with its members and citizens using the video app Zoom.
Kookhakwon, a nongovernmental organization promoting Korean traditional culture, was to hold an event on YouTube, which will include the reciting of the March 1 Declaration of Independence and an independence movement-themed flash mob.
