Some say life is a series of random and chaotic events. Others say life is pre-determined by God. Whatever you believe, the cycle of life and nature never changes. But sadly, it has changed. The climate is as confused as people are in this country on how to eat.
The beauty of spring is here. A time of rebirth and the season of precious petals falling to the earth and petite birds chirping with the morning sun. The key is that warmth drives this season. The temperatures rise and people begin to sow seeds into the earth.
As life gains more energy at this time of year, it is important to continue on the path of consuming natural foods. Like a bird searching for seeds and berries, this "bird food," granola bar is one of the healthiest snacks you can eat.
Most mainstream granola bars on the market contain a variety of either sweeteners, artificial ingredients or preservatives.
These chewy (not crispy) granola bars are naturally sweetened from the banana and the maple syrup. There is gunk or junk, only hearty, healthy and wholesome goodness. Enjoy!
throw it into its nest."
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Mix all of dry ingredients into a bowl. In a blender, puree the banana, nut butter and maple syrup. Mix with dry ingredients until well combined. Line a bread pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in. If desired, cut slices into the mixture before baking.

Vegan Tomato Chickpea + Kale "Stew"
Move. Nourish. Wander. Those are three principles I live by. In life, we discover ourselves through human movement as well as when trekking abroad. In order to live a healthy life, whole-foods nourishment is key. Outside of America, ancient cultures tend to eat closer to nature, consuming more whole foods that fuel the body for the present season.
April is one of the most beautiful months in Seattle. The cherry blossoms are in bloom, while the trees bud with leaves. But, if one thing is for certain, April showers do bring May flowers. The weather is often gloomy, rainy and chilly in April. So heartier meals and warm soups are necessary to make it through the dreary month.
With a bit of warmth from the cherry blossoms and spices, nourish yourself this spring to ignite the inner fire that resides within you. Spring is the season of rebirth, and seeds planted in the ground germinate with warmth. Warmth is makes us grow and attract good things in life. Stay healthy and warm, and I hope you enjoy this "stew."
Cook the shallot and garlic with the olive oil in a deep or pot for several minutes (or until fragrant). Add the tomato paste and spices and continuously mix, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and kale, continuously mixing for 1-2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, one half to one cup at a time, based on your preference in taste and creaminess. Use between 1-2 cups (1 can is equivalent to 2 cup).
Simmer until fragrant and the kale is cooked down. Add the cilantro, mix, and remove from heat.

Who doesn't love pasta? It's one of the most filling (and easy-to-make) meals for plant-based eaters. As a single person, I batch cook pasta meals on Sundays. This allows me to bring my lunch to work between Monday through Thursday.
Not only does this save me money, but in general, most of my pasta recipe ingredients are made in under ten dollars.
Arugala, also known as rocket, is a bitter yet spicy green. Some people love it. Other people despise it. But, most people can eat it cooked instead of raw. If you are looking for something healthy and budget-friendly, try this arugula and lemon pasta recipe.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While the pasta cooks, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the arugula, tomato and basil and cook for several minutes. Overcooking leaves mushy arugula and skin to release off tomatoes.
Once the pasta is done, combine all the remaining ingredients into the pan with the vegetables. Mix and adjust spices as necessary.

Who doesn't love sweet potato fries? They're simple. They're delicious. And they're healthier than regular deep-fried French fries.
Sweet potatoes are a wonderful compliment to many vegetarian Mexican dishes. And with Cinco de mayo around the corner I took a chance and tried something different - a south of the border sweet potato fry flavor.
Batch cooking on one's own can be a long process. It is important to make simple and budget-friendly recipes that do not require hours dedicated to prep work and baking. One trick to making fries more crispy without using flour or corn starch is by cutting smaller fries. The longer or thicker the fry, the longer the baking time alongside with the possibility of the fries not getting crispy.
There are many tricks to the homemade French fry trade, but if you want a natural fry without adding flour or starch, avoid super thick fries.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the sweet potatoes into slices. Mix all of the ingredients into a bowl and spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a greased baking sheet (use cooking spray). Bake for 12 minutes and then flip the sweet potatoes once, and return to bake for another 11-13 minutes. Adjust spices as needed. Sometimes the flavor sets in after 24 hours.

Деревна́я (, местный диалект: Дырывная) — деревня в Дрогичинском районе Брестской области. Входит в состав Именинского сельсовета. Деревная находится в 7 километрах к северу от Именина, 18 км к северо-востоку от Антополя, 25 км к северо-западу от Дрогичина и 30 км на юг от Берёзы. Почтовый индекс деревни — 225852

В селе работает восьмилетняя школа, действует сельский дом культуры с кинозалом и сельской библиотекой, есть свой магазин, почта и баня, со школой соседствует медицинский пункт — Деревнянский ФАП. За школой — сельский парк, обсаженный тополями, дубами и рябинами. В центре парка расположено футбольное поле и волейбольная площадка. Также на территории парка находится котельная, которая топит местную школу и сельский клуб в холодное время года.

Ранее Деревная имела свою церковь, которая стояла на небольшом холме в бывшем центре деревни, который до сих пор называют Цвынтаром. Но с приходом советской власти церковь была разрушена бульдозерами, а её останки были сожжены. После этого никто, вплоть до 2012 года, не принялся за восстановление церкви, а сельчане ходили в соседние деревни Детковичи,  и  на большие церковные праздники.

История
Точно реконструировать прошлое деревни очень трудно и в некоторых случаях нужно обратиться к косвенным источникам, чтобы больше узнать о прошлом этого населённого пункта. Известно, что в древние времена территория будущего села была заселена племенами дреговичей.

Впервые деревня упоминается как поместье иезуитов в 1623-1773 годах, принадлежавших коллегии иезуитов в Бресте-Литовском. Фундамент поместья был выкуплен у Цывинского, владельца этих мест, Львом Сапегой, канцлером коллегии иезуитов в Бресте. За относительно короткое время, иезуиты, благодаря налоговым привилегиям и царской волей, стали владельцами 269 крестьянских хозяйств Брестского уезда.

Во время голода 1710 года в деревне умерли 170 человек.

В XVIII веке иезуиты имели в Деревной миссионерский пункт при костёле с иконой Божьей Матери. В 1721 году, благодаря пожертвованиям фонду Антонины Завадской, в иезуитских постройках был сооружён небольшой костёл в честь Посещения Пресвятой Девы Марии.

После упразднения Ордена иезуитов в 1781 году, Деревной владел брестский винодел Лесковский, который платил 5600 злотых в качестве оброка.

После третьего раздела Речи Посполитой в 1795 году, Деревная отошла к Кобринскому уезду Слонимской губернии Российской империи. Начиная с 1797 года, деревня находилась в составе Литовской губернии, а с 1801 — в Гродненской.

В усадебном лесу вблизи дороги в сторону Детковичей было около 12 курганов, которые местные люди называли «шведскими могилами». Во время раскопок в 1890 году в одном из курганов были обнаружены уложенные камни, а под ними — уголь и золу. На глубине около 1 сажени было найдено тело человека..

В конце XIX — начале XX веков в Деревной в 56 домах проживали 577 человек. Также в деревне были церковь и школа. В это время существовал фольварк Деревно, принадлежавший Старому Двору.

После Октябрьской Революции Деревная отошла к Польше, где была на протяжении 18 лет (с 1921 по 1939 года). В это время деревня была в помещичьем имении. Возле леса начала строиться пивоварня (возможно, это был спиртзавод), но после присоединения Западной Беларуси к СССР, строительство было приостановлено, а кирпичи жители разнесли на постройку собственных домов. При Польше в месте, которое сейчас называется Двор, был заложен ботанический сад с редкими для Белоруссии видами деревьев. Недалеко от Двора, в сосняке находится усыпальница Стефании фон Вольф Завадских (23.06.1851-24.02.1936). Неподалёку от дороги в Сукачи была расположена небольшая берёзовая роща, названная в честь Панина Берёзина.

В 2012 году началось строительство православной церкви во имя святого пророка Божия Илии.

Население
 нач. XX века — 577 человек
 1999 год — 329 человек
 2010 год — 296 человек
 2019 год — 196 человек

Окрестности
С обеих сторон каждой просёлочной дороги в окрестностях деревни тянутся рвы, возникшие в результате осушки болот в этой местности. В окрестностях села находятся много небольших прудов и озёр, названия которых известны только на местном диалекте: Одырванцы , Карьеры, лужайки . С юга и запада вплоть до самой деревни растёт лес : хвойный (преимущественно сосновый с небольшим количеством берёз) в направлении дороги на  , осиновый лес растёт слева от дороги в Детковичи. Также у Деревной произрастает берёзовая роща. Она находится неподалёку от Нового Села (часть и район Деревной). Через выгоны и поля проходит Центральный канал

Флора и фауна
В лесах живут типичные представители этих широт: волк, кабан, лиса, заяц, лось, рысь, косуля, гадюка обыкновенная, уж, медянка и прочие. На полях много аистов и куропаток. Аисты вьют свои гнёзда на крышах деревянных домов и электрических столбах. В небольших прудах в окрестностях деревни водится преимущественно серебристый карась.

Большинство окружающих деревню лесов — хвойные. Преобладают берёза, сосна, ель, дуб. Сосновый лес перемешивается с небольшими по размерам дубравами, ельниками и берёзовыми рощами. Начало леса по дороге в Детковичи сельчане называют Гай (густой тёмный непроходимый вековой лес из сосен (с редкими появлениями осин), переходящий в ельник). В эту часть леса редко ступает нога жителей Деревной. Также в Гае существуют лесные болота. Но именно непроходимый Гай скрывал жителей деревни от фашистских карателей во время Великой Отечественной войны.

Летом в лесу появляются такие лесные ягоды, как: черника, брусника, земляника и малина. Они растут не по всему лесу, а в местах с большим количеством растительности. Брусника произрастает, малина — во Дворе либо вдоль заросших кустарником и камышом каналов. Ближе к осени начинается грибной сезон.

Геологические сведения
В Деревной встречаются все типы обычной для Дрогичинского района почвы : древесно-подзолистые, глинистые, песчаные, песчаные и торфяные. Торфяники лежат на юго-востоке села за баней на пастбище, по обеим сторонам Центрального и меньших каналов без названий. Теперь эту землю используют как пастбище для скота и как посевную площадь для заготовки сена и некоторых других кормов. На Глинке за сельским парком — почвы с высокой концентрацией глины. Песчаники встречаются в сосновых лесах, например, во Дворе. В самой деревне преимущественно древесно-подзолистая почва.

Экологическая ситуация
После катастрофы на Чернобыльской АЭС, Деревная оказалась в большом риске радиоактивного заражения. Сейчас граница заражённой территории тянется в 3 км от деревни к югу и северу. Заражение происходит за счёт большого выброса цезия-137 в атмосферу после взрыва в Чернобыле. В 1990-х пятно охватывало деревню со всех сторон, но саму деревню не покрывало

Прочее

Главная улица деревни заасфальтирована. Также покрыта асфальтом дорога до центра сельсовета — Именина. Лесные дороги до Детковичей и Сукачей посыпаны гравием.

Местами отдыха сельчан (особенно молодёжи), а также для тех, кто собирается посетить своих родственников, являются Именинские и Одирванские озёра. На большие праздники —День Села, Новый Год и т. д. — сельчане собираются в сельском клубе.

Большую часть населения Деревной составляют люди белорусского происхождения, также есть переселенцы из России и с Украины. Летом на заработки сюда приезжают украинцы из Волыни и других мест.

I'm looking for Bel Air gassers and 1970/71 camaros. They will take first consideration. The 3 cars will be finding a new home so if you don't have what I'm looking for feel free to make an offer or just post a trade like pic.


2017 has been a strange year, I've felt kind of lost and lacking direction and this has even extended to my reading. After a strange few months where I read barely anything, August was a pretty good month for it. I read four books in total and although I'm definitely not going to meet my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal, I'm fine with that and four books is better than none!
Offred is a handmaid in the republic of Gilead, a class of woman kept by Commanders and their wives purely to provide a child.
Despite having owned this modern classic for about three years, I only picked it up this summer as part of Girl Gang Books (the official Girl Gang book club! *plug plug*) and I'm so glad I finally got to it. I was slightly concerned that all the hype around it, especially after it was recently made into a tv series, would make for a disappointment but I can safely say it lived up to it's reputation. Several times whilst reading, I got a genuine eerie feeling as I could see how the events of this book could happen in our not-too-distant future. I've seen some reviews that criticise The Handmaid's Tale for being slow and plotless but I found it compelling as a snapshot of a potential (terrifying) future. I felt on edge almost the entire time but that's no bad thing as it heightened my emotions and made me feel empathy and fear every time Offred took any small risk. I wouldn't say I enjoyed this book, as that doesn't feel right, but I definitely appreciated it's brilliance. My one tiny criticism, that I know most won't agree with, is that I almost feel like it could've been longer. I felt like I needed slightly more time in Offred's past. But this book is excellent and I can't recommend it enough.
Diana, Princess of the Amazons, longs to prove herself to her warrior sisters but risks everything when she breaks Amazon law and saves the life of a mortal, Alia. But Alia is no ordinary teenager, and in saving her, Diana might have doomed the world.
Receiving this proof was like my birthday and Christmas combined. It was definitely one of my most anticipated 2017 releases and I was beyond excited when I got my hands on it. Surprisingly enough, I haven't seen Wonder Woman at the cinema and I didn't really know much about her or her origins until I'd read this. So if you're unsure about reading Warbringer because you don't know much about the DC Universe, don't worry, because I absolutely loved this despite my lack of knowledge. Leigh Bardugo's writing is superb and the characters in this book, like all of Leigh's characters, were incredibly well developed. I'm going to be posting a full review of this soon, but safe to say I LOVED it and you definitely need to pick it up.
Lauren is going through a lot; her boyfriend thinks she's crazy, her best friend is going through something she can't understand and she's facing every teenage girl's worst nightmare.
I have such mixed feelings about this book. When I received it I thought it was going to be about the problematic nature of the 'not like other girls' trope, and it kind of was? But it also really wasn't. I loved Like Other Girls exploration of some of the really difficult teenage issues, but I felt that others could have been dealt with better. Lauren is a complicated character, and she's not particularly likeable, but she is kind of relatable. I definitely thought some of the things that she did when I was a teenager but I think very differently now, so my lower rating might be to do with the fact that I'm just out of the age range to be able to accept some of Lauren's questionable behaviour. I would say give this one a try if you find the synopsis interesting, it's definitely worth reading but I'm not sure how much I enjoyed it.
Ireland, 1825, Nora's husband has died suddenly and Nora is left to care for her grandson, who can neither speak or walk. When unnatural things start happening in the valley, rumours are spread and Nora seeks the help of local healer Nance, who believes that Micheal is a changeling, a fairy child.
Her writing in general is beautiful and poetic and definitely makes up for the slight slowness of the plot. I found the plot of The Good People less compelling than Burial Rites, but only slightly, Kent writes the hell out of a historical fiction with folk tale elements. I find Irish folklore fascinating and The Good People lends an excellent insight into it and would act as a great springboard before delving into more. The Good People is definitely one to snuggle up with by a crackling fire or to take away with you on a windy autumn weekend away.
So those are the books I read in August, here's to another good month of reading (I've already finished two books!) and the start of my favourite season!
What have you been reading lately? Let me know down below, I appreciate every single comment!

The year 2017 has been designated as the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. I confess 50 years is hard for me to imagine. I'm sure I'm not the only one who never thought I'd make it out of combat nor through the dark days of our first coming home. There are many Vietnam vets out there still searching for a way home from the war.
Recently I had the privilege to speak to veterans at a Vet Center in California's Central Coast. Mike Young, head of the Center at San Luis Obispo, and I have some history of our own. He came to the National Veterans Foundation as a college student from Professor Lawrence Tritle's class on the Vietnam War. Mike volunteered at first, then interned with us, and last, Mike was our Director of Operations while he began his post-graduate study in social work. From the beginning, he's been an advocate for veterans, especially for Vietnam vets.
The gathering was to mark the 50th anniversary of that war. After the speeches, I was moved by vets sharing their experiences...get this...for the first time. Fifty years have passed, and these vets still carry such vivid memories, and of course, invisible wounds.
I've worked with vets, for vets, for over forty years. The Vet Center program was my baby, and still that meeting last week on the Central Coast was a wake-up call for me. For many Vietnam vets, it's still not over. Many have yet to be able to talk about their experiences. That's what Vet Centers are for...to offer a place where vets can open up in the presence of other vets who know what it's like. There are now over 300 Vet Centers across the nation. They offer counseling for combat, suicide risk, and transition to civilian life but also for MST (military sexual trauma) for men and women vets. The Vet Center call center at 877-WAR-VETS operates 24/7. And the centers have broadened their outreach with bereavement counseling for family members. As you know, the VA operates a 24/7 crisis call center in addition to medical services and counseling. This doesn't take into account other community-based organizations, or veterans organizations like the NVF.
What struck me last week was how are we still missing so many? How can there still be so many coming into treatment for the first time? Maybe we're looking through the wrong end of the telescope. Just having resources in place doesn't ensure a connection. The only thing that has the power to connect veterans to resources and the help they need ...is another caring person. It's a one-on-one thing. That's why the NVF Lifeline for Vets works. It's vet-to-vet. That's the model we used for the Vet Center Program.
I think of Paula Kaplan saying that one engaged listener can do a powerful lot of good. How many of us have that in our own lives, I wonder? You know...someone to just sit and listen to you process something. It's easy to imagine how unusual and valuable that would be, right?
Someone to listen. All of us know someone who's served. How many stories are locked up because no one asked? This might be especially true of women vets because so few self-identify as veterans. How many vets, men and women, could we reach if we started by offering to sit and listen?
Let's help publicize the resources available. From Vet Centers to the VA to state veterans departments to social services, but let's start by asking to hear a veteran's story. If you know a veteran who needs help, here's our Lifeline for Vets:888.777.4443.

The first born of three sons, William Patrick Corgan Jr, was born to William Corgan senior and Martha Louise Mae Corgan Luts. When Billy was still young, his parents divorced and after a short while his father got married again and brought Billy to live with him.
In school he was keen on sports especially baseball and used to amass baseball cards but because he ended up being an average athlete Billy started gaining an interest in playing the guitar.
The idea came when he saw his friend playing and from that day onwards he was set on being a guitarist. Even though his father was a rock/blues guitarist, he hardly gave him any help with learning how to play therefore he had to teach himself.
A move to Florida was in the books after high school to try and kick start his music career, but shortly after moving he had to come back to Chicago because he did not succeed.
While he was working at a record store, he met guitarist James Iha with whom they recorded some demos and got invited to a few shows as a result. In one of these shows, James and Billy met Bassist Darcy Wretzky and later got introduced to drummer Jimmy Chamberlain, and the four of them formed the infamous group The Smashing Pumpkins.
The Smashing Pumpkins released their debut album Gish in 1991 which did well but not as good as their second release the album titled Mellon collie and the infinite sadness that was nominated for seven Grammy awards and had Billy's biggest song to date on it "1979".
prompted the release of The Smashing Pumpkins third album called Adore.
After his separation, he started dating a photographer by the name Yelena Yemchuk and later dated Courtney Love who famously included some of his records in her album without his permission.
There were stings where The Smashing Pumpkins broke up and between 2001 and 2005 he launched a somewhat unsuccessful solo career.
More recently Bill Corgan has gotten involved in professional wrestling as he has a true passion for wrestling. He once described himself as a 'wrestlemaniac' and once participated in a wrestling event using a guitar as a weapon. This love for wrestling prompted him initially to form an independent wrestling promotion company then later was appointed senior producer for creative and talent developer at Total Nonstop Action (TNA) with the responsibility of developing storylines. At this position, he was quoted as saying it was a dream come true.
Early in 2017, Billy Corgan bought the rights, name, trademark and championship belts of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).
He is a fun of rock music and his favorite bands includes Pantera, Siouxsie and the banshees, Breaking Benjamins, Bullet for my valentine among others.

In the genre of rock, there have been so many bands who have ruled the music scene during the 90s, and these bands have become some of the many pillars of Rock and Roll music. These top 5 bands are the truly influential bands of the 90s, and their music has become very well-known through out the world. Until today, they are still deeply remembered.
This band has become one of the most widely revered bands of all time. Their wild and crazy antics during the 90s have made them as one of the best and most entertaining bands in the history of music. Their crazy music videos and incredible stage presence have formed them as one of the unique bands ever. Their ability to be flexible with their songs have made them as a very popular band that almost every rock fan can relate to. They can kill with sad songs, and they can shred with fast and fun songs. The 90s have been defined with the help of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
If there would be a British invasion in the form of music during the 90s, then Oasis would be the cause of it. Oasis made such huge hits as Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back in Anger and their most popular song that ruled one year in the 90s, which is Wonderwall. The Gallagher brothers and their great bandmates have created music that many people related to and made them international superstars.
One of the pioneers of grunge music, Pearl Jam has been one of the most well-renowned bands of all-time. With Eddie Vedder leading with the vocals, Pearl Jam created music that was embraced by so many rock and roll enthusiasts. They are one of the bands who transpired from Seattle and took the seat of rock and roll royalty during the 90s. Their popularity was as huge as it can get with so many significant hits to their name, they also earned many awards from MTV up to the Grammys. Indeed, Pearl Jam has become one of the best that rock and roll have ever produced.
Kurt Cobain and the trio of Nirvana have defined the rock music of the 90s. They rose from Seattle as one of the pioneers of grunge music and took their act into the mainstream. With so many big hits as Smells Like Teen Spirit and Lithium. Nirvana put grunge music in the top of the heap. Their awesome left us together with the memories of the late Kurt Cobain. It's just too bad that Kurt can't be here and see how much he influenced rock and roll music.

Conceived in Joliet, Illinois on June 10, 1964, Jimmy Chamberlain has turned out to be extraordinary compared to other more current drummers, musicians, and melodic makers in America. Obviously, he is best known similar to the previous drummer for Smashing Pumpkins, the option musical gang.
James Joseph Chamberlin being Jimmy's original name, he was one of six youngsters in a family that bolstered music. His dad and more established sibling both were dynamic jazz artists and played in groups locally; they played the clarinet and drums separately. Paul, his more seahighsibling, still plays drums today with a nearby cover band.
Chamberlin started his drumming at nine years old. He was told and shown Latin, Brazilian, and huge band systems, however basically centered around jazz styles. Charlie Adams was his mentor who showed him these methods in his initial drumming years. At age 15, Jimmy left his home and joined neighborhood band after nearby band after nearby band et cetera. Its original music vocation proved to be productive, however, his dad, in any case, compelled him into selecting in school, in this way he did and spent about a year at Northern Illinois University.
In 1988, Chamberlin, at last, joined the Smashing Pumpkins. They were searching for a drummer to fill in their void position for a live show at the Metro, a club in Chicago. Billy Corgan met Chamberlin met through a companion, and that is when Jimmy uncovered that he was occupied with filling the spot.
Both Jimmy and Billy were wary about each other at to start with, feeling that it wouldn't work. In any case, Jimmy adapted the greater part of the tunes with the snappiness and turned out to be a positive expansion to the band for a considerable length of time to come. Despite the fact that Chamberlin was profiting as a craftsman, not long after in the wake of getting together with Billy, he would surrender the employment and move to Chicago and commit the majority of his opportunity to the band. When he joined, the Smashing Pumpkins started sounding more extraordinary than any other time in recent memory. They went ahead to discharge the initial two collections Gish and Siamese Dream. Both of these collections were for the most part centered around Corgan and Chamberlin alone.
Shockingly, Chamberlin created a dependence on heroin amid this era. Amid the recording of Siamese Dream, he would frequently vanish for a considerable length of time at any given moment, obviously satisfying the evident needs of his dependence, however the band would be sitting tight for him and dreading for his life while he was away as they didn't get notification from him more often than not and he definitely didn't disclose to them where he was going and what he was doing, in spite of the fact that they did to sure comprehend what he was doing.
He would stay with the band for a little time and afterward be kicked out for his concern. He was later reestablished, yet the band separated soon. Chamberlin kept on playing drums, and even joined the individuals in a transformation of the Smashing Pumpkins in 2005, yet however left the band again in the March of 2009.
It's as good of a place to start as any, with the beginning. This video has some great info on how the Smashing Pumpkins got their start. Check it out while we work on some other great content for you!

Louis Henkin in JILP
Cole Rabinowitz
In memory of Louis Henkin, who died last month in New York, I recently took to the archives, to see whether any of his work had found its way into the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics. While Henkin's byline never appeared in any of JILP's forty-two volumes, his work nevertheless left a mark on our pages.
In the seventh volume of JILP, a review of Henkin's Foreign Affairs and the Constitution recognized the supreme importance of this work to the field of U.S. foreign relations law. (7 N.Y.U. J. Int'l L. & Pol. 203.) Henkin, Stanley Futterman wrote, spoke with "the natural modesty and courage of the true teacher." But our reviewer soon takes a more critical stance in light of Henkin's discussion of Vietnam.

About JILP
New York University Journal of International Law and Politics (JILP) is a student-run online publication devoted to commentary on contemporary issues in international and comparative law. Founded in 1968 with the aid of a Ford Foundation Grant, the New York University Journal of International Law and Politics features articles on international legal topics by leading scholars and practitioners, as well as notes, case comments, and book annotations written by Journal members.


This house used to be a library to the house next door, was sold off and converted post war. Long and thin with poor light and a tortuous connection to the garden from basement stairs, it also has a wonderful first floor living room overlooking one of the best views in London, high up on Richmond Hill over the park and the Thames.
With the street elevation too sensitive to disturb and having two significantly taller buildings either side, the proposal had to utilise the roof and rear elevation as the source of natural light. The rear of the house and the roof were rebuilt, whilst the front half of the house was retained and upgraded.
The key move has been to raise the basement up at the rear, whilst lowering a good portion of the garden down to meet it, therefore forcing the house to connect to the garden. This single move allowed for a one-and-a-half height kitchen / family room with a new glazed dining room attached. In the centre is a staircase which is transparent at ground and first floor to give views through. On approaching the house we have retained the stair down off the street and the entrance at the basement level. As you enter the oversized front door the hallway has been widened, promoting use as a gallery for our clients, professional photographers. The hall wall curves around to open up the view of the new parts of the house.
The proposal involved a single storey rear extension and a minor extension at roof level. The proposal was procured in two separate planning applications. The single storey element went under Permitted Development while the second floor element went under a Full Plans Planning Application. Permission was granted in June and August 2005 respectively but programme constraints were placed on the project to ensure that the rear extension was completed before any work was started on the second floor. This was to ensure that no permitted development volume reserved for the extension would be used-up in the second floor element. As the rear extension was primarily structural glazing, this proved to be a difficult construction process. The window to the rear elevation at second floor level had to be retained and re-instated.
The rear extension sits on a ground-bearing concrete slab and is raised half a storey above the lower ground floor entrance level. This brought it level to the rear garden. The walls are blockwork with a render-on-insulation finish. The extension roof is a proprietary glazing system with a bespoke bow-string truss support, and the large rear glazed facade is structural glass. Internally, the flooring on the lower ground floor is dark grey limestone and on above levels is an engineered timber floor suitable for the under-floor-heating system throughout. The staircase is a timber and steel construction clad in plasterboard and the same timber flooring.
BTA provided a full structural design service.


An Urban Low Emissions Development Strategy (Urban-LEDS), or Low Emissions Urban Development Strategy, defines a pathway to transition a city to a low emission, green and inclusive urban economy, through its integration into city development plans and processes. By exploring this, local governments can achieve immediate, direct, cost effective and scalable greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, while improving livelihoods for their citizens and businesses, also optimizing the use of local renewable energy and other resources.
The Urban-LEDS: Promoting Low Emission Urban Development Strategies in Emerging Economy Countries project, funded by the European Commission, and implemented by UN-Habitat and ICLEI, served the objective of enhancing the transition to low emission urban development in four emerging economy countries. The project involved guidance and support to 37 local governments.
from March 2012 to March 2016, the Urban-LEDS project promoted and supported low emission urban development in 29 local governments (eight model cities and 21 satellite cities) in four emerging economy countries (Brazil, India, South Africa and Indonesia) , with the support of eight inspiring European cities. The model cities were encouraged to share their experiences with satellite cities at the national, regional and international levels. This helped to create an enabling environment for knowledge and experience sharing and peer-learning.
Under the Urban-LEDS project, global climate advocacy has been a key action area. The focus was to draw attention to low emission development at city level in the international climate talks - towards and at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. Also, many international networking seminars and study tours were organised over the project's span of 42 months.

Eight Tips to Step Up Your Ladder Safety
Allie Johnson
Before you attempt to use a ladder, protect yourself by freshening up on the basics of ladder safety.
A ladder can be very handy when you want to reach new heights in home improvement—literally. You'll probably need one if you're planning to change the batteries in your smoke alarms, paint your crown molding or trim your taller bushes, for example.
But every year, ladder accidents send thousands of people to the hospital. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
each year in the U.S., more than 500,000 people are treated and about 300 people die from ladder-related injuries. The average age of a person falling from a ladder is 55, and the severity of injury increases with age, according to a study on ladder falls from the Journal of Surgical Research.
"You'd think it would be pretty rare, but every couple of weeks I see someone who's fallen off something, be it a ladder or a step stool," says Dr. Eric Watson, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Institute in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. These accidents commonly occur in spring and fall, when homeowners are cleaning out their gutters, and over the holidays, when they're putting up lights, he says.
A tumble off a ladder can cause ankle sprains, hip fractures, back problems and head injuries, says Dr. Barbara Bergin, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Texas Orthopedics in Austin, Texas.
Eight Tips for Climbing Those Rungs Safely
Ladders are designed to be sturdy and safe, says David Francis, a ladder safety expert and blogger, and the National Safety Director for Little Giant Ladder Systems. "If a ladder is used properly, it's not going to be the cause of a fall," he says.
Choose the Right Ladder for the Job
Before setting foot on the ladder, check to make sure it is in good working order, has no broken or missing parts and doesn't lean to one side.
Ladder safety starts with your pick of ladder, says Francis. Homeowners often purchase a short, light, easy-to-carry ladder, and then try to use that ladder even when the job requires something taller, he adds. The American Ladder Institute's (ALI) guide to basic ladder safety recommends that you choose a ladder that is tall enough that you don't have to stand on its top rung or step in order to work.
Trouble Balancing? Consider a Step Stool
It might be that the right tool for you isn't a ladder at all.
For projects inside the home, a step stool might be the better choice, especially if you have trouble balancing. According to Francis, a ladder can exacerbate any balance problems. Not only does a step stool have wider steps, but those steps are positioned more like a staircase, making it easier to climb, says Francis.
Still, falls from step stools, even from a foot off the ground, can cause serious injuries, says Watson. You'll still want to take every safety precaution possible when using them.
Wear Safe Shoes
Never climb a ladder in bare feet, flip flops or sandals, says Bergin. "Wear stable, supportive shoes."
The ALI recommends that you wear slip-resistant shoes with clean, heavy soles, but that you avoid shoes with leather soles, as they may not provide enough traction as you climb the rungs.
Position the Ladder Properly
Position your ladder on an even, stable surface.
Avoid placing the ladder on soft ground (such as dirt or mulch), because this may cause the ladder to shift. And don't place the ladder in front of a closed door that opens toward the ladder, unless the door is locked or someone is watching it while you work, the ALI warns.
If you're using an extension ladder, place it at a 75-degree angle against the house. To determine whether it's positioned correctly, stand in front of the ladder with your toes touching its base. Extend your arms straight out. Your palms should touch the ladder, says Francis.
Climb the Right Way
Follow the Three Points Contract Rule
When you're on a ladder, ALI recommends following the Three Points Contact Rule: keeping one hand and two feet or one foot and two hands on the ladder at all times. This allows you to maintain your grip on the ladder even if you slip.
Generally, it's okay to carry a light tool such as a paintbrush or a screwdriver in your hand, as long as it doesn't prevent you from having three points of contact with the ladder, says Francis. "If you've got a paint brush in one hand and a gallon of paint in the other, that's a different story." In that case, use a tool belt or have a helper hand you the items that you need, he says.
Move the Ladder
Once you're up on the ladder, resist the temptation to overreach, which can cause the ladder to tip over or you to fall off.
Climb down carefully and reposition the ladder so that you can easily reach your work.
As a guideline, the ALI recommends that you keep your belt buckle (or belly) between the side rails while on the ladder. "Make sure your weight is centered," says Watson. "It's pretty easy to get off-kilter on a ladder."
Watch Your Step on Your Way Down
It's not just falls from higher rungs that cause injuries.
"Much like with stairs, patients often misjudge that last step," she says. Since it can be difficult to see below when you climb down a ladder, count the rungs as you ascend and descend, Bergin recommends, so that you'll know when you've run out of rungs and reached the bottom.
Call a Pro
There are times when it makes sense to call in a pro to do a job that requires working on a ladder.
For example, if you suffer from vertigo or take a medication that can make you dizzy, avoid ladders. Or if there's an unwanted wasp or animal nest up high, consider hiring a pest control company to remove it.
"When you're on the ground and a hornet flies at you, you do everything you can to get away from it," says Francis. "If you're on a ladder, you're stuck or you're going to lose your balance and fall."
Using a ladder means taking your time and putting safety first. "It's when people try and take shortcuts that accidents happen," says Francis. Follow these tips to reduce the likelihood of an accident and to stay safe while you work in and around your home.

regarding ladder safety: while on any ladder someone should be holding the ladder to prevent
the person from falling and suffering injury.

This is one of the best article in this blog,thanks for sharing information about scaffolding ladders in google chrome browser…good job


The "Western" news sources picked up the information about police arresting a bunch of people (the numbers are unclear, but I've seen sources quote 40-80 people) at the gay rights rally in Moscow on Saturday. The arrests included some foreigners, which sort of automatically makes the news a big deal in the international media.
On May 17th, the gay rights groups organized "flash mobs" (spontaneous gatherings) in several Russian cities, including St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg, the women and men marched down the central street to the main square of the city to release their rainbow colored balloons. The messages scribbled on the balloons read "I am gay. And this is also good" (playing off a line of a famous poem), "We don't hide anymore." In St. Petersburg, the Rainbow Flash was peaceful. Neither the police nor the anti-gay groups got involved. These pictures make me happy.

What's in a Name: Mezzanine Debt Versus Preferred Equity
18 Stanford J. Law, Business and Finance 40 (Fall 2012).
28 Pages Posted: 21 Jul 2012 Last revised: 1 Apr 2013

Date Written: May 24, 2012
Mezzanine loans and preferred equity interests are both forms of investment in commercial properties; they are favored by investors, particularly institutional investors, that want a fixed, or at least floored, return and priority as to both their return on and return of investment. In its most common form, a mezzanine loan is secured by the investment property, but only indirectly, by a pledge of the equity in the entity (usually a limited liability company or limited partnership) that owns the property. Preferred equity, on the other hand, usually takes the form of a direct equity investment in the property owner, with a fixed, preferential return that is paid prior to distributions to the "common" equity interests in the owner. Apart from this difference, mezzanine debt and preferred equity can -- and often do -- have similar terms and conditions; nonetheless, institutional and other real estate investors appear generally to regard mezzanine debt as an intrinsically better form of investment than preferred equity. The article postulates that capital markets may be giving undue deference to the notion that one is "debt" and the other is "equity" and analyzes each of the presumed legal advantages of mezzanine loans over preferred equity interests. While acknowledging that for certain type of investors and certain types of properties, mezzanine debt may be the preferable form of investment, the article concludes that, overall, preferred equity provides an investment structure that works as well as -- and in some cases better than -- mezzanine debt.

Well, we're going to make it as pleasant for you as possible because, in this post, we'll give you all of the tips and tricks that you need to know to get a solid night's sleep when camping out in the woods.
Let's get to it… someone has a tent to pitch.
This is important… It may be wise to get a travel CPAP machine. They are significantly smaller and lighter than traditional CPAP machines. So, if you value portability and convenience then you, my friend, should purchase a travel CPAP machine.
There are a handful of these machines on the market and they've received rave reviews from CPAP users. The top 4 in our book (check out our reviews of each) are the Z1 Auto by HDM, AirMini CPAP by ResMed, Sometics Transcend Auto miniCPAP, and the DreamStation Go by Philips Respironics.
You want a soft, lightweight mask that can easily come apart, and the right mask accessories for camping. Check out our blog on Travel CPAP Masks for more information.
Also, it might be good to have some portable cleaning supplies handy (eg: mask cleaning wipes) so you can clean your CPAP equipment on-the-go. SoClean 2 Go also makes cleaning your CPAP supplies extremely easy on-the-go.
Option A: Find the right campsite… one with Power!
If you're lucky, you may be able to find a campsite with an electricity source (a generator). That would make life a whole lot easier. Try looking for RV sites, and call the place beforehand to check that they have power!
Remember to bring a lot of extension cords – you don't want to be snuggling up right next to the generator at night. Also, in case the generator is loud, you may want to consider bringing along earplugs for a quiet night's sleep.
There are some good reviews online about using the Paxcess 100-watt portable generator power inverter with a 12/24 volt (depending on the CPAP machine) adapter to power a CPAP machine. It can be charged with a wall outlet, car, or even the sun, if you purchase a compatible solar panel as an add-on. This should power your CPAP for around 3+ days, depending on your settings.
Many people also like to use a Marine/RV Deep Cycle Battery with an inverter. There are ones on Amazon which cost less than $100, and it usually keeps your CPAP working for around 3 days without a humidifier.
Having a generator can be useful outside of the camping scene too – for example, if there is a power outage or an emergency situation.
– ResMed Power Station II (for S9, AirStart 10, AirSense 10, and AirCurve 10) – This will power your ResMed device for 13-14 hours at a pressure of 14 cmH2O.
Note: this power station is NOT compatible with the ResMed Travel CPAP Machine, the ResMed AirMini.
– Z1 PowerShell and battery – this is an accessory made just for the Z1 Auto Travel CPAP Machine, so it can be used overnight. The battery is expected to last 8+ hours at a pressure of 14 cmH2O.
– Somnetics Transcend Multi-Night Battery – This can be used exclusively with any of the Transcend miniCPAPs. The battery is expected to last 14-16 hours on a full charge, at a pressure of 14 cmH2O. For an extra upgrade, a foldable solar panel for the Transcend can also be added on.
– Respironics Travel Battery Kit for System one and DreamStation CPAP Machines – This battery is expected to last around 14 hours at a pressure of 10cmH2O or less.
– DreamStation Go Overnight CPAP Battery Pack – Designed exclusively for Respironics' travel CPAP, the DreamStation Go, this battery has an average run time of 13 hours.
Pro-tip: Using your humidifier when your CPAP machine is powered with a portable battery pack will shorten the battery life. Going without a humidifier should be fine for a few days.
An informative video that runs through how a family sets up their CPAP machine to connect to a deep cell (cycle) battery using a 12 volt DC inverter. He also explains which cords they bought from Radio Shack!
Another man's equipment and set up for his CPAP machine when using a cigarette lighter adapter. He also shows us his solar panel set up and how he uses it to charge his CPAP.
WILL INSURANCE COVER YOUR TRAVEL CPAP MACHINE?
Another thing to note is that these travel machines are covered by insurance if your insurance company doesn't already cover your CPAP machine. Typically, insurance companies will only cover one primary CPAP device. The bottom-line is, if your insurance is already covering a CPAP for you, then your best bet is to pay out-of-pocket. If they're not, then you can use your insurance to buy this machine. We'll tell you exactly what you can do. Just chat us or create an account.
Unless you're full on roughing it camping, there's always power available. Just run some outdoor extension cords.
As you may have read in the quote above, your CPAP machine can conveniently be used to blow up an air mattress! Try this at your own discretion, though!
If your CPAP equipment smells like smoke from the campfire after your trip, try rinsing the mask with diluted vinegar (1 or 2 parts vinegar to 3 parts water), then rinsing it with water, and changing the filter.
Look, if you're a CPAP user and you want to go camping with a CPAP, then GO CAMPING. Don't skip CPAP therapy and leave your machine at home. And don't let your CPAP slow you down or intimidate you from enjoying a night outside in the great outdoors. There are plenty of options for you to power your CPAP and get a great night's rest.
If you have any questions feel free to chat us and we'll be happy to give you our two cents. Our quick advice – get a travel CPAP. That's the easiest and will save you from hassle. If that's not in the budget, just get extension cords and a deep cell battery. You can do it!

How Franchesca Ramsey is squashing trolls and stereotypes
Illustration by Tiffany Pai
IRL Upstream
Mary Emily O'Hara—
2016-06-20 04:11 pm | Last updated 2017-06-21 01:50 pm
In the latest episode of Franchesca Ramsey's MTV webseries Decoded, she walks viewers through the three most prevalent stereotypes about black women that are perpetuated in media: the sassy black friend, the helpful mammy, and the slutty jezebel.
The video has been watched nearly 100,000 times since it was first posted. And judging by the over 1,400 dislikes and the many virulent comments saying things like "none of these are white people's fault, racist," Ramsey's straightforward commentary about race in pop culture is strangely controversial—and needed. Her formula is relatively simple: Highlight an enduring discrimination issue, trace its historical roots, and crack a few jokes to keep the mood light while discussing some pretty awful stuff. Why does it bother people so much?
Ever since Ramsey started posting her impressions and parody videos to YouTube, she's been the target of some pretty intense backlash. But the haters and trolls only serve to justify the need for Ramsey's presence in media. She's a young, funny, self-aware, black millennial woman with an impressively straightforward and concise way of breaking down stereotypes.
In the years since she first launched her vlog, Ramsey has brought us everything from hair tutorials to music video parodies, from viral takes on racial stereotypes in "Shit White Girls Say… to Black Girls" to her weekly MTV show Decoded. She's done impressions like embarrassingly blunt Frannie's Grannie and condom-refusing bro Marcus and appears regularly on Comedy Central's The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore. Her career is skyrocketing: She has approximately 14 different jobs, and she's only 32.
Franchesca Ramsey is just getting started. While on a rare vacation with her husband in Morocco, she answered Daily Dot's questions via email.
Why do you think "Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls" resonated with so many people and went so viral?
I didn't realize it at the time, but micro-aggressions like the ones illustrated in "Shit White Girls Say" are something too many [people of color] deal with on a daily basis. While the video was a mix of conversations I'd had with friends and colleagues over the years, I got tons of emails from people saying they'd had almost the exact same word-for-word conversations with people in their own lives. I think that video was part of a shift in the way social justice and stories about identity were being told online, which was super exciting and a big part of why the video was so successful.
Your subject matter has varied so much: from the "turn your phone" parody of a very annoying thing everyone does, to serious critique of racism in American culture, to beauty guidance. What makes you decide that a particular subject is worthy of your time?
When it comes to picking a topic, it's usually a mix of my audience asking me to weigh in on something and/or believing I have a perspective on a subject that I haven't seen broached online yet.
I watched the BBC News segment in 2011 that you referred to as "a little misleading" in saying that vloggers are making millions on YouTube.
Are there YouTubers who are millionaires? Sure. But that's probably the top 50-100, and that takes A LOT OF WORK combined with some amount of luck. You've gotta crank out content on a regular schedule, collab nonstop, go on tour, have merchandise, [and] do regular brand deals on top of netting millions of monthly views. For me, I've never been able to stick to a schedule because I bounced around jobs and have never really made YouTube into a full-time career. But YouTube has opened tremendous doors for me like speaking at colleges, hosting my own webseries, and now working in TV.
"I think that ['Shit White Girls Say'] was part of a shift in the way social justice and stories about identity were being told online."
I'd say most of us are what you'd call "working YouTubers," similar to working actors: We have an audience and we aren't starving, but none of us are retiring at 45. Personally, I think going into any career (especially entertainment) in hopes of being wealthy is foolish. It's just not guaranteed. As with any art, you have to do it because you love it and understand that money is an occasional great perk.
You made history as one of the first vloggers to participate in a presidential debate. When you asked Bernie Sanders about investigating police violence, do you think his answer was sufficient? And has Sanders done enough to reach and engage with young people of color?
I think Bernie had a great response, but I was mainly disappointed that we didn't get to hear from Clinton or O'Malley. Despite that, I'm honored that YouTube gave me the opportunity to be a part of the debate. I think Bernie has done a great job of engaging with young people overall, not just young POC. But I think what's been more impressive is how much young POC have demanded that this year's candidates hear and address their concerns. Regardless of what you might think of protesting or demonstrating during presidential campaign speeches, at the end of the day, they're getting attention and forcing the candidates to take them seriously. For example, the Clinton and Sanders campaigns have sat down with Black Lives Matter activists in response to their protesting, and I think that's huge. This year's election will most likely be decided by millennials, so it's exciting to see that today's young people feel empowered to lend their voices to the issues they feel are important both online and off-.
For a woman who has so many jobs, you still manage to be really engaging on social media. I notice that often you will reply to Twitter trolls, too. Can you explain why it's sometimes important to you to call out your trolls or respond to them publicly?
Sometimes it'd probably be best to ignore them, but I'm human, and I'll admit it can feel good to blow off steam and let some random idiot have it.
"As with any art, you have to do it because you love it and understand that money is an occasional great perk."
For me, I try to make my responses public and composed so that others can hopefully learn from how I deal with negative feedback, whether it's constructive or totally bogus. More often than not, my response to a troll has nothing to do with them and everything to do with my followers. Often times I hear from my audience that they find it encouraging and even use some of my responses in their on- and offline lives.
What do you have coming up in the next year? Where does this amazing uphill trajectory culminate for Francesca Ramsey?
I'm still pretty new at Nightly Show, so my main goal is to focus on learning as much as possible and pushing myself to be a better writer and performer. I'm having a blast, but I have no problem admitting how challenging it's been, learning the ropes of writing a daily political comedy show. Thankfully we have an awesome team and everyone's been super welcoming, so every day I feel like I've made some headway and can see my progress week to week. Other than that, June marks the one-year anniversary of my webseries, MTV Decoded, which is super exciting. With Decoded the goal is to just keep pushing forward and challenging ourselves to tackle important subjects in creative and funny ways. Someday I'd like to have my own television show, do some film work, and do more writing and producing.

Ramirez had a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single. Jon Jay had four hits while Myers and Yangervis Solarte also each had three hits. Myers finished a triple shy of the cycle. The Padres snapped a four-game losing streak, winning for the second time in 10 games.
On Wednesday morning, Fowler told the team's flagship radio station, the Mighty 1090, that the Padres' recent performances have been "embarrassing" and "pathetic." His comments came a day after James Shields allowed 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings of a 16-4 loss at Seattle.
Hours after Fowler ripped them, the Padres found out they didn't have to face Felix Hernandez, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right calf strain.
The Padres still had a shaky start, with Christian Friedrich allowing Robinson Cano's three-run homer during a 37-pitch first inning in which the lefty escaped a bases-loaded jam
Left-hander James Paxton (0-1) started in Hernandez's place and was roughed up in the first, allowing six runs on five hits. Myers homered to right with one out, his eighth. Rosales homered into the second deck in left with two outs, his second. Ramirez was aboard on an RBI single, and Rosales almost caught up to him approaching third base.
Five of the runs that inning were unearned after Paxton overthrew second trying for a force play.
After the Padres chased Paxton in the fourth, Ramirez greeted Joel Peralta with a two-run homer. He also hit a two-run homer off Steve Johnson in the sixth, after Derek Norris hit a leadoff double. Ramirez has three homers this season.
Myers hit an RBI double in the fifth and a sac fly in the sixth.
Kyle Seager had four singles for Seattle.
Friedrich (2-1) allowed four runs, three earned, and nine hits in five innings, struck out four and walked four.
Paxton allowed eight runs, three earned, on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked one.
Mariners: Manager Scott Servais said he hopes Hernandez misses only a few starts.
Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation), who hasn't pitched since opening day, played catch. Manager Andy Green said it would be "aggressive" to anticipate his return before the All-Star break.
Mariners: LHP Wade Miley (5-2, 4.95) is scheduled to start the final game of the split, four-game series.
Padres: RHP Colin Rea (3-2, 4.47) is scheduled to start for San Diego.

9/2/2014: 2014 AMSC Conference- 21st Century waterway: Future of navigation
By Lt. Jodie Knox on September 2, 2014
Last week, the Transportation Research Board hosted the 15th Biennial Harbor Safety Committee and Area Maritime Security Committee Conference, in Philadelphia, Pa. The conference explored best practices, innovations and technology that addresses critical harbor and maritime safety and security issues.
Gary Rasicott, director of Marine Transportation Systems, kicked off a panel session titled, 'The Future of Navigation: Bringing America's Waterways into the 21st Century' and Capt. Scott Smith, deputy director of the Marine Transportation System, served as both moderator and panelist.
Rasicott's remarks were focused on the future of navigation and the government agencies involved.
Future of navigation
"How many people, five years ago, were talking about American energy independence? This is the decade of the waterways, it really is, because of all of this energy renaissance, as some call it," said Rasicott, "I won't say all, but a lot of it's going to move via waterways because it's the safest, most efficient and probably most reliable way to move this stuff and that adds up to a lot of congested waterways in some places."
Because of these changes, the Coast Guard is trying to bring our nation's waterways into the 21st century. The future of navigation is a large part of that; electronic navigation is part of it, but not all of it.
"If we allow ourselves to think that electronic navigation solves every problem with congestions…and waterways, we're going down the wrong path," said Rasicott.
Government agencies involved
Rasicott emphasized the importance of adequately including all stakeholders in the discussion of the best way to move forward.
The Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Army Corp of Engineers worked together to create a tri-agency listening session where they reached out and asked stakeholders what they wanted out of the future of navigation to enhance their situational awareness. The listening sessions were intended to introduce federal initiatives and solicit for the types of information mariners are currently using, or would like to access, and identify ways that information could best be accessed or delivered.
In addition to the listening sessions and presentations, the Coast Guard, NOAA and ACOE created a new feedback website for the maritime community to provide direct feedback on requirements for emerging needs for navigational information and delivery systems of that information, in a transforming navigational environment.
The primary goal of this initiative is to better develop and leverage information technology to effectively consolidate navigational safety information for mariners.
The final item that Rasicott touched on was Sector Delaware Bay's Intelligent Radar Project which points to where the maritime community can go with a sort of integrated situational awareness where we bring electronics to bear, when appropriate while still looking out the window.
Rasicott also discussed limits to electronic navigation and how the Coast Guard is engaging human performance experts to see how much is enough in order to keep from overwhelming or distracting the operator.
Capt. Smith's remarks focused on the Coast Guard's responsibility with the electronic navigation initiative and the applicability of electronic navigation.
Coast Guard's responsibility in this initiative
The primary objective for the visual aids to navigation system is to mitigate transit risks and promote safe, economic and efficient movement of military, commercial and other vessels by assisting navigators with avoiding dangers and obstructions.
"Regardless of how marine information is disseminated in the future, this objective will not be degraded," said Smith, "The idea is to incorporate current and emerging technology with visual aids to navigation systems and not replace buoys and beacons."
Smith described the vision for electronic navigation as working to establish a framework that enables the transfer of data between ships and shore facilities and integrates and transforms that data into actionable information.
"The ultimate goal of e-navigation efforts in the United States is to provide timely and reliable information and to make the transportation system operate better," said Smith, "The navigational landscape has changed dramatically since the 1970's with ships with deeper drafts, greater lengths and larger cargo capacity. The result is a much narrower margin of error for many transits leading to increased transit risk. Improving navigational situational awareness will help to mitigate this."
The Coast Guard has initiated a program to improve the delivery of maritime service and safety information by leveraging Automatic Identification System, or AIS.
"AIS was designed as a communication tool between ships to mitigate the risk of collision. Nationwide AIS was designed and fielded to provide the Coast Guard with the means to survey the marine domain and detect vessels for response and prevention activities," said Smith.
Applicability of e-navigation
Currently, there are three types of AIS aids to navigation, or ATON, being used or discussed: virtual AIS, synthetic AIS and potential-real AIS.
Smith shared how in San Francisco Bay, the Coast Guard is providing virtual AIS aids to navigation, or ATON, which provides specific geographic coordinates and check-in points for the traffic separation scheme. These virtual AIS are received and integrated on AIS capable electronics informing mariners without the presence of a physical aid to navigation.
Synthetic AIS shares specific geographic coordinates associated with a physical ATON, such as a buoy or beacon, but the electronic part of the aid is separate of the physical ATON and its location comes from shore base stations. This is considered augmenting the buoy or beacon signal so it can be used in an interactive way. Should a buoy suffer an allision or sink, the mariner will still have the ability to receive marine information from the buoy via the AIS ATON.
The third type is potential-real AIS ATON which the Coast Guard has not yet deployed. The concept is an actual device on the physical aid to navigation. These transmit from the actual buoy or beacon itself rather than from an AIS base station. The display is in relation to the actual buoy itself. So if the buoy is off-station, the AIS will reflect the same location as the incorrect position.
Electronic ATON offers a solution to problems such as seasonal buoys where ATON are removed during the winter months to avoid being damaged by winter ice. Electronic ATON provide a more permanent and reliable means to navigation in these circumstances.
Another potential benefit identified by Smith is the dissemination of marine safety information for mariners, which would augment the normal broadcast on VHF radio.
"These are often missed or misunderstood, especially in a noisy pilothouse or the busy marine environment," said Smith, "Receiving a marine safety update on an AIS enabled display would provide timely information and reduce the possibility for errors. For example, a restricted zone could be geographically depicted on the display without time-consuming chart plotting."
Smith also pointed out that smaller vessels are using AIS enabled displays, but it not wide spread.
"Regardless of how navigational information is delivered in the future, the primary objective of the U.S. visual aids to navigation system will remain constant," said Smith.
