text: Joey Club Studio Baby PhotographyThis charming gentleman was all smiles on his recent visit to the studio with his mum and dad as part of his membership of the Joey Club (our free baby photography scheme).  I was a little worried at how amusing he found me to look at but have come to the conclusion (on later inspection) that it might well have been my hair as it was particularly bonkers and to be honest, I had a chuckle in the mirror myself when I saw it. Still, good to know it serves a purpose :)   Whatever the reason, he was all smiles in the portrait studio throughout his photo session and an absolute delight to have visit. I look forward to seeing him around his first birthday (and might employ hair straighteners prior to his session just in case!) …Sarah

A photograph from the 80’s has caused a stir in Washington after its publication by several media outlets. It was erroneously assumed that it was Jalaluddin Haqqani shown with President Ronald Reagan.

Beginning September 2011, the US military intelligence had been tipped about a major attack in Afghanistan being prepared by Jalaluddin Haqqani. To prevent it, they sought the help of their Pakistani counterparts. All efforts were in vain and on September 11 (the anniversary of the attacks in the United States which served as a pretext for the invasion of Afghanistan), a truck bomb exploded at the entrance to a NATO base, killing two people and injuring 80 others.

At first, the White House spokesman accused Pakistani secret services of laxity. Then, at a later stage, the head of US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen raised the tone and accused them of having instrumented the Haqqani network.

Even if it’s not Haqqani in the photo unearthed from the Getty Image archives, it is nevertheless instructive. President Ronald Reagan is seen receiving at the White House a hero of the anti-communist struggle, Yunus Khalis, who just happened to be a mentor to Haqqani. To the left of the photo is famous CIA operative Zalmay Khalilzad, then presidential Asia adviser. Subsequently, George W. Bush named his neocon aide ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq and the United Nations.

And yet, the George W. Bush administration accused Yunus Khalis in 2001 of having organized Osama bin Laden’s escape during the battle of Tora Bora.

            Newsletter Editor – Laurel Steffes

There was discussion on ways to recruit new members to WOCA. After discussion on this matter it was suggested that all members work to recruit new members throughout the year. There were comments about the barriers to join and why we couldn’t recruit more members, especially considering the quality of this conference with the great programs and presenters. Everyone agreed that this was a great conference. The people that were not present were not aware of the quality of the programs and that we needed to promote that and the value of being a member and attending the conference.

Motion was made by Jim Bishop and seconded by Jeff Vander Logt to adjourn. Meeting adjourned about 4:30pm.

Minutes of 2018 Annual Meeting

Minutes, Wisconsin Outdoor Communicators, July 21, 2018

34 paid members – setting a modern attendance record -- attended the annual meeting at Trees for Tomorrow in Eagle River. Many speakers attended the cookout and stayed overnight to participate in the meeting. Six new WOCA members were in attendance: Jim Swanson (Wisconservation editor), Leah Bell (2018 scholarship recipient), Dave Roll (OHEC); and joining during the meeting: Rob Bohmann (Wisconsin Conservation Congress), George Meyer (Wisconsin Wildlife Federation) and Tom Hauge (Wisconsin Green Fire). Winning the honor of traveling the farthest to the meeting was Professor Tom Heberlein, who traveled from Sweden to attend.

The WOCA Constitution and Bylaws were reviewed in the business meeting (see below), and it was agreed that officers would serve until they desire to step down or resign, consequently officers were unanimously reaffirmed as follows:

  • President—Patrick Durkin
  • Vice President/Webmaster – Bob Haase
  • Secretary/Treasurer – Laurel Steffes
  • Newsletter editor – Laurel Steffes

WOCA Board of Directors:

Tom Muench, Art Barlow, Jerry Kiesow; Bob Wilberscheid; Dave Zeug; Bob Haase; Lisa Gaumnitz, Dave Carlson, Roger Sabota. No board member elections were held. It was agreed that board members would continue to serve until/or if they desire to resign or others are interested in serving. We will review annually at the meeting.

The budget report was reviewed and approved. It needs to be noted that the treasury is in excellent shape; only a few short years ago WOCA was flat broke, with Tim Eisele having to bail the treasury out from his own pocket.

President/annual meeting organizer: $750

Prize chair: $500

Newsletter editor: $250

Vice President: $100

Treasurer: $100

Secretary $100

The annual silent auction to fund the WOCA/OHEC scholarship was held. Members were asked to contact and/or write to donors of prizes and auction goods and to thank them for their support of WOCA. Contact information for the donor is available from Patrick Durkin, the auction chair; and Laurel Steffes, treasurer. Written thanks are critical in maintaining the interest of donors. Members are urged to note that proceeds from silent auctions to WOCA members fund WOCA’s scholarships for emerging outdoor writers. The auction did exceedingly well this year.

In addition, Patrick Durkin donated a compound bow and six tickets to the Green Bay Packers Family night (deluxe seats on the 50-yard line for a scrimmage and related activities) to test a new fundraising activity. Members were urged to buy squares on each of two 49-square grids. A winning square was drawn during the business meeting for each – Jim Swanson winning the bow, and new member George Meyer winning the tickets. The aim was to see if it would be useful to use WOCA funds to purchase an item for the activity, but it was agreed that didn’t not appear to be a cost-effective option. The two items did raise $270 total. It was suggested that members consider donating an item – in new or excellent condition as Pat did -- for 2019 squares. An appeal will be sent out before the 2019 meeting. Members may have duplicate or unused outdoor equipment that would qualify. They need only donate and get it to the meeting. Officers will construct the grid.

Other budget business:

  • Trees for Tomorrow is celebrating its 75th anniversary with extensive plans for renovations, construction of an outdoor classroom, and more. WOCA typically donates $250 per year to Trees. This year, as a one-time recognition of the anniversary and thanks for Trees hospitality, the group unanimously agreed to double WOCA’s donation to $500. Also tacitly approved was a $150 annual dues payment to the Conservation Hall of Fame.
  • Costs for the Friday night cookout were largely provided by Toyota. Attendance for the chicken or beef shish kabab and fireman’s corn event was the highest in memory. In spite of rain and wind, the cookout went on. Many thanks to chef Ed Culhane and griller Bob Haase and others. Toyota (Curt McAllister) donated $400 for the event. Culhane was reimbursed for his costs.
  • Patrick Durkin confirmed he is making an annual $10 payment to the Department of Revenue to continue our nonprofit corporation registration, and WOCA is in good standing.
  • For the fourth year in a row, member Jenny Sereno donated $250 to fund WOCA’s scholarship program. Many thanks to Jenny for her extraordinary support. The Outdoor Heritage Education Center confirmed its continuing $500 support for the scholarship. In addition, Ed Culhane donated $50 for the scholarship, and two other members rounded out conference payments to donate to the fund. Given the strength of the 2018 auction, the donations, and the relative health of the treasury, WOCA members voted unanimously to increase the scholarship amount for 2019 to $2,000. The increase is approved for one year only; the amount will be evaluated in 2019 in light of WOCA funds.

2017 Minutes were approved.

Other items:

  • Websites: WOCA’s website can be found at W-O-C-A.org. Bob Haase is our webmaster. Haase reports our domain needed to be renewed this year. A change to the WOCA website format regarding posting of internal newsletters to members will be made. (See below under bylaws update.) The number of member bios is slowly growing. Bob urged members to contribute bios as they give much credibility to the website. Volunteer FB page editors are encouraged to step forward.

  • 2019 Conference: Members selected July 19-21 at Trees for Tomorrow for next year’s annual conference. Once again in this year, Trees provided two cabins (Pine and Hemlock dorms) for housing, relieving the uncomfortable crowding experienced in previous years. Still, the popularity of the 2018 conference resulted is some doubling up. Laurel has already talked to Trees about reserving three cabins for 2019. The goal is to give everyone a private room.

  • Scholarship Update: The 2018 scholarship winner, Leah Bell, attended the full WOCA meeting and said the experience was valuable. She is a junior at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point majoring in Wildlife Ecology, with minors in environmental communication and Spanish. When applying, Bell noted that the scholarship would open doors in her career field, writing: “A membership and connections to people in the WOCA would bring me closer to my dream career of writing for some type of wildlife magazine.” As a high school senior, Bell won second place in the Wisconsin Outdoor News newspaper writing contest. “First Hunt” is one of the two stories featured in the attachment to this newsletter.

As our scholarship recipient, Bell’s expenses for the WOCA annual meeting and 2018 WOCA membership are paid. She also shadowed Pat Durkin for an afternoon this spring. The annual $1,500 WOCA/OHEC scholarship is funded through proceeds from the annual meeting’s silent auction and contributions from OHEC, Jennifer Sereno and other individual members.

During the scholarship discussion Bell asked if former winners could apply again. The scholarship committee conferred and unanimously agreed that the purpose of the scholarship is to encourage budding outdoor communicators and is most effective by helping as many different students as possible. Therefore, former winners would not be eligible to win a second WOCA/OHEC scholarship. Scholarship Committee members are Art Barlow, Bob Wilberscheid, and Laurel Steffes.

  • Bylaws Update: Pat asked members to review the WOCA Constitution and Bylaws, with additions and modifications based on Tim Eisele’s records of organizational intent and current operating norms. All changes were approved unanimously with one modification: Newsletters keyed to the four seasons will be replaced with news sent on a need-to-know, timely ad hoc basis. The website will be modified to show WOCA member communications under news. The newsletter menu option on the website will be consolidated under news.
  • Legislation: Though on the agenda, time prohibited a recap of efforts to establish a state fund to pay out of pocket licenses expenses for disabled veterans. A recap is below.**

  • Endorsements discussion: Member Dave Zeug raised the question as to whether or not WOCA was able/open to endorsing candidates. A review of the Constitution and Bylaws indicate it is not. In addition, a number of members expressed discomfort with the idea. As an alternative, Zeug indicated interested members could join him in purchasing an ad in Wisconsin Outdoor News outlining issues/endorsements. A signup sheet was passed around. In light of OWAA’s recent experience, any members participating in the ad were asked to not link WOCA or WOCA membership as part of signatures. Anyone interested in further information should contact Dave Zeug.
  • Group photo: A group photo was taken at lunch.

Laurel Steffes, Secretary/Treasurer

July 21, 2018

**Veteran License Fund Legislation recap: At the 2016 and 2017 annual meetings, WOCA members discussed working with legislators to establish a state account to help pay out-of-pocket costs for disabled veterans’ hunting and fishing licenses in Wisconsin. Wisconsin currently offers discounts for disabled vets when they buy a license, but there’s still an out-of-pocket expense. [Outdoor writers in other states have mounted similar initiatives.] WOCA member Jim Bishop, Spooner, indicated his veterans group would contribute to an account if it existed. Accordingly, Art Barlow was asked by the WOCA membership to seek Rep. Nick Milroy’s (who spoke at the 2017 annual meeting) help in moving legislation.

Milroy’s bill moved through the Assembly with enthusiastic support. Many WOCA members contacted legislators, and registered or testified in favor of the bill. Unfortunately, it took some time to get the bill heard in Senate committee and the chair, Sen. Tom Tiffany, didn’t bring it up for a committee vote before the legislative session ended. It’s currently dead.

Rep. Milroy said he intends to introduce the bill again in the next legislative session, but it will have to go through the committees again, pass the Assembly and Senate, and then be signed into law by the governor. For more information visit: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2017/proposals/ab665, or contact Mary Lou Keleher, aide to Rep. Nick Milroy, marylou.keleher@legis.wi.gov

Here is a synopsis of action prepared by the Legislative Reference Bureau:

Assembly Bill 665 was introduced on November 22, 2017, as a Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus proposal. Following are the list of authors and co-sponsors: Introduced by Reps. Milroy, Kleefisch, Allen, Anderson, Berceau, Bernier, Bowen, Considine, Crowley, Fields, Genrich, Hebl, Hesselbein, Hintz, Kremer, Krug, Meyers, Mursau, Ott, Pope, Ripp, Shankland, Sinicki, Spiros, Spreitzer, Thiesfeldt, Tittl, Tranel, Tusler, Vruwink, Wachs, Zamarripa, Zepnick and Kitchens; cosponsored by Senators Moulton, Miller, Bewley, Carpenter, Erpenbach, Hansen, Johnson, Larson, Marklein, Testin, Vinehout, L. Taylor and Olsen.

Representatives Brostoff, Barca & Rohrkaste added their names as co-sponsors later. (that’s a total of 37 representatives and 13 senators.)

The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources & Sporting Heritage held a public hearing on December 6, 2017. Testifying in support of the bill were:

· Rep. Nick Milroy, 73rd Assembly District

· Tim Eisele, freelance writer and WOCA member

· Lee Fahrney, American Legion Post 142 and WOCA

It felt like a year all by itself, but that's one month of 2020 down, 11 to go.

The last day of January was "Brexit day", the moment the UK officially left the EU after years of negotiations and parliamentary wrangling.

Whether you think it was a cause for celebration or sorrow you would be forgiven for thinking Brexit was done and you'd never have to hear about it again.

However, the transition period is going to last until the end of the year so the UK won't actually be properly leaving for a good while. Things will essentially stay the same for the time being, which is good for the UK as it still needs time to sort things out.

The remaining 11 months of the year will involve trade negotiations. It's a complicated process that will cover tariffs, quotas, rules and regulations.

What does the rest of the year's Brexit work involve and what is the government actually aiming for?

The Claim

Government ministers have been quick to say there won't be as much alignment and closeness with the EU as first thought. The more alignment, the closer the UK will be to the EU and essentially the softer the Brexit will be.

It will also be easier to get a trade deal if the UK's rules don't go too far from the EU's, there is less need for checks and barriers if the rules are the same on both sides of the border.

Avoiding close alignment doesn't mean a trade deal can't be done but it does mean there will be more barriers and a need for border checks on certain goods. More checks, more tariffs and more need for border activity adds up to a harder Brexit.

The noises coming from cabinet ministers and the prime minister himself indicate the UK will adopt a confrontational stance over the next 11 months, with foreign secretary Dominic Raab saying close alignment to EU regulations would "defeat the point of Brexit".

Boris Johnson also talked tough, with The Guardian reporting the prime minister was aiming for "no concessions" and "no alignment whatsoever".

Downing Street has not contested reports that the UK plans to impose full customs checks on goods entering Britain. They want a free trade agreement if they can get one but don't want to sign up to EU rules.

Johnson indicated his priority was going for a "Canada style" trade deal, which involves mostly free trade but still has customs and VAT checks.

He said it would be a "very unlikely event that we do not succeed", but remarked that if he couldn't get the trade deal he wanted then the UK would aim for something looser like the arrangements Australia has with the EU.

The Counter Claim

At this early stage in the year of Brexit much of what politicians say should be taken with a pinch of salt, this is a negotiation and these are the opening stages of trade talks.

Johnson claims he won't make concessions right now but that's a position he likely expects to be coaxed away from with the EU offering concessions of their own. If talking tough now means the EU has to give ground on something then the government will count that as a win.

However, the prime minister has been criticised for adopting a "scorched earth" policy to trade negotiations, with accusations that an Australia style agreement would be "no deal in all but name".

The government's aim for a Canada style deal hits the problem that the UK is not Canada. It is much nearer, with more movement of people, goods and services as a result.

When Canada got a trade deal with the EU it brought them closer together, the UK's negotiations are about determining how far away Britain wants to go.

Besides, that deal took years to negotiate and the UK doesn't have years, it has 11 months to get something or face the transition period ending without a trade deal and going to WTO terms.

It may be that the UK ends up with a bare bones trade deal which means Britain has something in place once they are truly out of the EU and can be fleshed out in years to come.

The Facts

No trade deal once the 11 months are up means WTO terms, which would mean full checks and tariffs on the 49 per cent of the UK's trade which goes to the EU.

Trade talks currently focus on goods rather than services. However, services make up 80 per cent of the UK's economy and 40 per cent of its exports. The UK is the world's second biggest exporter of services behind the US.

Around 11 per cent of the UK's trade comes with countries which have trade deals with the EU and Brexit will mean those deals are lost if arrangements aren't put in place.

The UK has managed to roll over 20 agreements with 50 countries which amounts to around eight per cent of British trade.

The European Commission said a Canada style deal was not on the table in negotiations with the UK.

Johnson said if he couldn't get an agreement resembling Canada's then he would want a trade deal "based on our existing withdrawal agreement", but that's not really possible because the withdrawal agreement doesn't cover the UK's future trade relationship with the EU.

The next 11 months are going to be filled with bluffs, bluster and Brexit. This is the time for posturing and tough talking, for taking positions to be given up in exchange for something else.

Project Management Office

Standards help us make processes efficient and reliable, which leads to tangible savings. They are of incalculable value in project management in particular. After all, projects determine how successful we will be in the future." This lecture discusses what, why, and how a PMO should be implemented within organizations. We will focus on relevant factors important in such implementation such as the Project Oriented Organization (POO ) culture  and will then share with us a Case Study  from my experience at T-Systems in the United Kingdom. Lessons learned from my experience at this enterprise, while implementing the PMO itself as a project, should help all participants better plan for any such implementation within their individual organizations. The lecture was given to the PMI community in Bangkok in September 2013.

Escalation Management

In today's IT departments, escalation management is one of the most critical processes. It must be very fast and stable at the same time. Changing technologies and heterogeneous architectures complicate the implementation of state of the art tools like HP Openview or Tivoli.In addition, due to financial constraints, the high licence costs of those tools make it very difficult to implement them area-wide. This paper will show that the measurement of important IT services and the comparison with an agreed service level can be done at a low cost, while at the same time achieving a very high quality. Open Source tools trigger the designed escalation process and enable in-time action and information. Both the management and the technical operations team receive the right information early enough to set further actions.

Notebook Security

In today's business laptops are state-of-the-art. Often there is a need to connect a laptop belonging to an employee of company A to a network of company B, e.g., during a business-visit or during some maintenance activities in a manufacturing plant. Because the laptop could be infected with a virus and thus could harm the IT environment of the company B, this connectivity is sometimes forbidden by the corporate IT security policy of company B. This paper describes various solutions on the market, which overcome this situation and ensure the IT security that customers need.

Hungarian dancers perform at the 2013 Folklife Festival. (Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)

In the continuing battle between Mall preservationists and those who most want to preserve its role as the central gathering place of American democracy, call this one a draw. Or, perhaps, a win-win.

The Smithsonian and the National Park Service entered into an agreement Wednesday that will keep the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the Mall for the next five years. The Folklife Festival, an international cultural celebration that annually draws a million people, had been in danger of losing its place on the Mall beginning next year because of tighter restrictions on Mall use for festivals. A Feb. 6 letter to the Park Service from Smithsonian Secretary G. Wayne Clough raised concerns that increased restrictions could jeopardize the festival’s place on the Mall. The announcement, expected during the festival’s opening ceremony Wednesday, allays those concerns.

“Absolutely, without a doubt, we want it there,” Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson said. “This is a partnership. We’ve been partners with them for more than 40 years, and we had always planned to allow the festival to remain on the Mall. It’s an historically important celebration, and we’ve always recognized that. It was just a matter of working out the details to make sure their event was able to go forward and the cultural and natural resources of the Mall were also protected.”

“Naturally we’re very pleased to have a Memorandum of Agreement with the Park Service,” Michael Mason, director of the Smithsonian’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, said. “We’re very pleased that they’ve acknowledged that the festival is an essential part of the park and belongs on the Mall. And we’re pleased that they’re committing to keeping the festival on the Mall even during the renovations.”

In recent years, the Park Service’s restoration and rehabilitation work has often put it at odds with large groups hoping to gather. Those restrictions have pushed the National Book Festival to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and canceled plans for the National Council of Negro Women’s annual Black Family Reunion.

First held in 1967, the festival will take place in its traditional location between Seventh and 14th streets this year, and will be located between Third and Seventh streets for 2015 to accommodate a second phase of turf renovation, which is expected to be completed in spring 2016. Mall upgrades since 2010 have included restoration of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, repair of the Tidal Basin seawall and restoration of the D.C. War Memorial. There have also been restrictions on the use of temporary structures.

The Mall compromise will maximize “hardscape,” or anything without turf, as usable space. It will include alternative flooring and tenting arrangements, expected to cost an additional $350,000 annually, which will be covered by fundraising, Mason said. It will also explore new ways to stage the festival. But it will do little to answer overarching questions of how much is the Mall for use, how much is it a place to be looked at and admired, and who gets to determine the balance.

“This is a step in the right direction,” said Judy Scott Feldman, president of the National Coalition to Save Our Mall. “It’s one private agreement between two large government entities. Now we need to open up the discussion to all Americans.”

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has sought major changes on the council throughout her tenure, issued a blistering critique of the panel, saying it had grown more callous over the past year and become a “protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias.” She cited the admission of Congo as a member even as mass graves were being discovered there, and the failure to address human rights abuses in Venezuela and Iran.

“I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from our human rights commitments,” she said during a joint appearance with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the department. “On the contrary. We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.”

Haley accused governments with woeful human rights records of seeking seats on the council to avoid scrutiny and then resisting proposals for reform.

“When we made it clear we would strongly pursue council reform, these countries came out of the woodwork to oppose it,” she said. “Russia, China, Cuba and Egypt all attempted to undermine our reform efforts this past year.”

The decision to leave the 47-nation body was more definitive than the lesser option of staying on as a nonvoting observer. It represents another retreat by the Trump administration from international groups and agreements whose policies it deems out of sync with American interests on trade, defense, climate change and, now, human rights. And it leaves the council without the United States playing a key role in promoting human rights around the world.

The United States is midway through a three-year term on the council, which is intended to denounce and investigate human rights abuses. A U.S. departure deprives Israel of its chief defender at a forum where Israel’s human rights record comes up for discussion at every meeting, a standing “Item 7” on the agenda.

“By withdrawing from the council, we lose our leverage and allow the council’s bad actors to follow their worst impulses unchecked — including running roughshod over Israel,” said Eliot L. Engel (N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House committee that oversees the State Department.

“However, this administration’s approach when it sees a problem is to take the United States off the field,” he added. “That undermines our standing in the world and allows our adversaries to fill the void.”

But Pompeo was scathing in his assessment of the council, calling it an “exercise in shameless hypocrisy, with many of the world’s worst human rights abuses going ignored, and some of the world’s most serious offenders sitting on the council itself.”

“The only thing worse than a council that does almost nothing to protect human rights is a council that covers for human rights abuses, and is therefore an obstacle to progress and an impediment to change,” he said.

The decision came a day after the U.N. human rights chief slammed the administration’s policy of separating migrant parents from their children after they enter the United States at the Mexican border, calling it “unconscionable” and akin to child abuse.

This is the first time since the Human Rights Council was formed in 2006, replacing the disbanded Human Rights Commission, that a sitting member volunteered to step aside, though Libya was suspended in 2011 after a government crackdown on unarmed protesters.

The United States initially shunned the panel over President George W. Bush’s concerns that so many human rights offenders could be seated through noncompetitive elections for members nominated by their regional colleagues. The Obama administration sought a seat in 2009 in an effort to showcase that human rights were an important aspect of U.S. foreign policy.

Before the United States joined, half the country-specific votes condemned Israel. During the first six years the United States was a member, resolutions critical of Israel dropped to one-fifth. U.S. membership also led to a sharp decrease in the number of special sessions that focused exclusively on Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

“It’s true, the Human Rights Council continues to disproportionately focus on Israel,” said Peter Yeo, an official with the United Nations Foundation that connects the organization with private and nongovernmental groups and foundations. “But with U.S. leadership, the attention Israel brought has dropped significantly. U.S. leadership matters. We’re still the only ones with credibility on human rights on the world stage.”

The Trump administration’s irritation with the council makeup and its agenda has been telegraphed with drumbeat regularity by Haley. A year ago, she denigrated it as a “forum for politics, hypocrisy and evasion,” and threatened a U.S. exit if the council did not kick out abusive regimes and remove Item 7, the standing resolution critical of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. She repeated her ultimatum two weeks ago.

Since 2006, the Human Rights Council has passed more than 70 resolutions critical of Israel, 10 times as often as it has criticized Iran. On one day alone in March, the council passed five resolutions condemning Israel.

The council’s current membership includes 14 countries that are ranked as “not free” by Freedom House: Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, China, Cuba, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

Haley said many countries agree with U.S. accusations of anti-Israel bias on the council and hypocrisy by abusers but would not openly challenge the status quo.

“We gave them opportunity after opportunity, and many months of consultations, and yet they would not take a stand unless it was behind closed doors,” she said. “Some even admitted they were fine with the blatant flaws of the council, as long as they could pursue their own narrow agenda within the current structure.”

Bret Schaefer, a Heritage Foundation scholar who analyzes U.N. actions, called the withdrawal a “measured” response.

“The Trump administration seems to be the only government that seriously wanted the Human Rights Council to promote universal respect and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in a fair and equal manner,” he said.

But some questioned whether a U.S. withdrawal will lead to reforms, or further undermine the council’s mission.

“The Trump administration’s withdrawal is a sad reflection of its one-dimensional human rights policy: defending Israeli abuses from criticism takes precedence above all else,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. “The U.N. Human Rights Council has played an important role in such countries as North Korea, Syria, Myanmar and South Sudan, but all Trump seems to care about is defending Israel.”

Long Description:
Turtle Crossing

Turtles help keep wetlands clean and healthy by eating dead plants, insects and animals, and play the role of the wetland janitor.

Turtles spend most of their lives in a small area. Between May and October, they sometimes wander as far as 10 kilometres. Like other reptiles, turtles are cold-blooded, so basking on gravel, sandy roadsides or warm asphalt feels good on cooler days. Adult turtles set out to mate in spring and find nesting sites. In late summer and early fall, newly hatched turtles can be seen traveling from where they hatched to a nearby wetland or body of water.

"The Nature Conservancy of Canada encourages motorists to slow down when they see a turtle on the road. It is not just one turtle lost, it can have a bigger impact. Turtles can take up to 25 years before reproducing, and their egg survival rate is very low. Approximately only two eggs out of 100 become adult turtles. A loss of one adult turtle is the loss of 20 years of development. To maintain their numbers within a population, turtles count on the survival of the adults, especially the females. Studies show that just a five per cent increase in annual mortality can put an entire population at risk of decline."
Source: Trail Times

The Osoyoos Oxbows are located in the South Okanagan Valley in south central British Columbia. The oxbows wind along both sides of the Okanagan River channel creating small ponds where turtles and many other amphibians call home. Along Road 22 there is a 400 meters section with several turtle crossing signs.

What’s Happening: Dial-a-Carol

The Morning Show

Free holiday tune request line runs December 13 to 19 (Champaign, Ill.)

This year a simple phone call can get you in the holiday spirit. Once again, the students of the University of Illinois are offering to sing your favorite holiday song on demand.

Starting Dec. 13, people can call (217) 332-1882 round the clock (24 hours) and hear free holiday carols over the phone as part of University Housing’s longest-running tradition. Dial-a-Carol is run by the students living in Snyder Hall, a residence hall community in Ikenberry Commons on the Champaign side of campus.

The phones are manned by student volunteers who generously sacrifice their study time during finals week to share some holiday cheer. Everyone and anyone is encouraged to call – both the young and the young at heart!

Last year, the program logged more than 8,800 calls from all 50 states and more than 50 countries around the world…including calls from every inhabited continent. This year, their goal is to take more than 15,000 calls! The most requested song is Jingle Bells, but the students have a giant binder and use Google to help them with the words and tune of almost any song that’s requested.

We need help to spread the word for everyone to call in to get a dose of holiday cheer and share this wonderful tradition far and wide.

This year marks the 58th anniversary of the program. Dial-A-Carol was started in December 1960 by Betty Gordon, an area office secretary, and the residents of Snyder Hall who wanted to spread cheer around campus.

March 13 Fishing Report

The Paradise Valley spring creeks are hosting their first mayfly hatches of the year. Beatis (Blue Winged Olives) are hatching in modest numbers, but the fish really aren't eating them on top just yet. Midges also continue to hatch and dry fly fishing should only improve as winter begins to melt into spring. BWO nymphs, pheasant tails, glo-bugs, and zebra midge patterns are catching fish.

The Yellowstone River remains mostly ice-covered in Paradise Valley, but the hot springs that enter the river between the Yankee Jim Canyon and Gardiner, MT have kept the water open and fishable in this stretch. Be careful wading along the ice covered banks. Rubberlegs and Psycho Prince nymphs are my go-to patterns this time of year.

Disruptions to Global Positioning System signals have been reported in northern Norway and Finland in November 2018, overlapping with the final days of NATO's exercise Trident Juncture, a massive military exercise that has drawn Russia's ire.

A press officer for Widerøe, a Norway-based airline operating in the Nordics, told The Barents Observer at the beginning of November 2018 that pilots reported the loss of GPS while flying into airports in the northern Norwegian region of Finnmark, near the Russian border, though the officer stressed that pilots had alternative systems and there were no safety risks.

Norway's aviation authority, Avinor, issued a notice to airmen of irregular navigation signals in airspace over eastern Finnmark between Oct. 30 and Nov. 7, 2018, according to The Observer.

The director of Norway's civil aviation authority told The Observer that organization was aware of disturbances to GPS signals in that region of the country but there is always notice given about planned jamming.

"It is difficult to say what the reasons could be, but there are reasons to believe it could be related to military exercise activities outside Norway's [borders]," the director said.

Aviation authorities in Finland issued similar notices in early November 2018, warning air traffic of disruptions to GPS signals over the northern region of Lapland, which borders Finnmark.

A notice to airmen from Air Navigation Services Finland warned of such issues between midday Nov. 6 and midnight on Nov. 7, 2018.

ANS Finland's operational director told Finnish news outlet Yle that the information had come from the Finnish Defense Forces but did not identify the source of the interference. "For safety reasons, we issued it for an expansive enough area so that pilots could be prepared not to rely solely on a GPS," the operational director said.

The cause for the disruptions to GPS signals is not immediately clear, but the reports came during the final days of NATO's exercise Trident Juncture, which involved some 50,000 troops, tens of thousands of vehicles, and dozens of ships and aircraft operating in Norway, in airspace over the Nordic countries, and in the waters of the Norwegian and Baltic seas.

All 29 NATO members took part, including Norway. Also participating were Sweden and Finland, which are not NATO members but work closely with the alliance. Moscow has in the past warned them against joining NATO.

While NATO stressed that Trident Juncture was strictly a defensive exercise — simulating a response to an attack on an alliance member — Russian officials saw it as hostile, calling the drills "anti-Russia."

Much of the exercise took place in southern and central Norway, but fighter jets and other military aircraft used airports in northern Norway and Finland. (US Marines stationed in Norway also plan to move closer to that country's border with Russia.)

GPS disruptions related to military activity have been reported in the Nordics before.

Norwegian intelligence services said in October 2017 that electronic disturbances — including jamming of GPS signals of flights in the northern part of the country — in September 2017 were suspected of coming from Russia while that country was carrying out its Zapad 2017 military exercise.

Reports of similar outages were reported around the same time in western Latvia, a Baltic state that borders Russia.

Electronic warfare appeared to be a major component of Zapad 2017, with the Russian military targeting its own troops to practice their responses to it. "The amount of jamming of their own troops surprised me," the chief of Estonia's military intelligence said in November that year.

Norwegian and Latvian officials both said the jamming may not have been directed at their countries specifically. Latvia's foreign minister said Sweden's Öland Island, across the Baltic Sea from Latvia, may have been the target.

At the end of 2017, Norwegian Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen told media that he was not surprised that Russian jamming activity had affected Norway.

"It was a large military exercise by a big neighbor and it disrupted civilian activities including air traffic, shipping, and fishing," he said, referring to Zapad 2017-related disturbances, adding that Norway was prepared for it.

Similar disruptions were detected in Norway near the Russian border in 2018. Norwegian authorities said the interference was related to Russian military activity in the area and that they had requested Russia take steps to ensure Norwegian territory was not adversely affected.

Russia has invested heavily in electronic-warfare capabilities and is believed to have equipment that can affect GPS over a broad area. Northern Norway and Finland are adjacent to Russia's Kola Peninsula, which is home to Russia's Northern Fleet — its submarine-based nuclear forces — and other Russian military installations.

"If your offensive military capabilities rely on GPS, guess what the adversary will try to do?" Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, said in response to the latest reports of GPS interference in Finland.

Monitoring Linux and Windows hosts with Glances

Sysadmins have many tools to view and manage running processes: topatop, and htop. All of these tools monitor CPU and memory usage, and most of them list information about running processes Glances, also monitors filesystem I/O, network I/O, and sensor readouts that can display CPU and other hardware temperatures as well as fan speeds and disk usage by hardware device and logical volume.

To start Glances on a Linux host, open a terminal session and enter the command glances. Glances has three main sections—Summary, Process, and Alerts—as well as a sidebar. I'll explore them and other details for using Glances now.

Summary section

The Summary section above provides an overview of the system's status. The first line shows the hostname, the Linux distribution, the kernel version, and the system uptime.

The next four lines display CPU, memory usage, swap, and load statistics. The left column displays the percentages of CPU, memory, and swap space that are in use. It also shows the combined statistics for all CPUs present in the system.

The Memory portion of the Summary section contains statistics about memory usage.

Glances usually determines the default sort column automatically. Processes can be sorted automatically (a), or by CPU (c), memory (m), name (p), user (u), I/O rate (i), or time (t). Processes are automatically sorted by the most-used resource. In the images above, the TIME+ column is highlighted.

Alerts section

Glances also shows warnings and critical alerts, including the time and duration of the event, at the bottom of the screen. This can be helpful when you're attempting to diagnose problems and cannot stare at the screen for hours at a time. These alert logs can be toggled on or off with the l (lower-case L) key, warnings can be cleared with the w key, while alerts and warnings can all be cleared with x.

Process section

The Process section displays standard information about each process that is running. Depending upon the viewing mode and the size of the terminal screen, different columns of information will be displayed for the running processes. The default mode with a wide-enough terminal displays the columns listed below. The columns that are displayed change automatically if the terminal screen is resized. The following columns are typically displayed for each process from left to right.

Media Queries and Enquire.js

Enquire.js is a javascript library that lets you execute scripts at specific media query breakpoints. Not only does this library let you "match" breakpoints and execute code, but it also lets you run script based on "unmatching" breakpoints.

An example of using this library is below.

enquire.register('screen and (min-width: 45em)', {
    setup : function() {
        // Load in content via AJAX (just the once)
    match : function() {
        // Show sidebar
    unmatch : function() {
        // Hide sidebar

Check out the website for more details, but definitely consider using this library especially when building responsive sites that must provide rich content and data to a wide variety of devices.

Mrs. Katie Beauvais

About the teacher

My name is Katie Beauvais. My family moved from Arizona to Idaho in January of 2017.  My family members include my husband Will and our four boys: William 15, Peter 13, Henry 10 and Michael 8.  In my spare time, I love to garden, hike, and spend time with my family.  Teaching has always been my biggest passion.  As a graduate from Arizona State University, I received a bachelor's degree in special education and elementary education. Currently, I am working towards a master's degree in Secondary Special Education in Transition through the University of Kansas. This is my 3rd year teaching and I am excited to be your child's teacher this year!

My mission is to create a classroom that celebrates curiosity and a can-do atmosphere.  Our classroom will be a place where students feel important, respected, cared for and believed in.  I believe in making meaningful relationships with students by sharing myself, being there for them, talking and listening to students, and knowing who they are.  I am a teacher who makes it possible for her students to reach their full potential, ask questions, learn from their mistakes, give and receive feedback, be creative, and try their best.  In our classroom real world problems will be solved and each student will believe that they can make a difference.  Together, we will celebrate each other’s success and inspire each other to be the best person that we can be.

 I will expect your child to take responsibility for their education and learning and will hold them to high standards because I believe in them.  I will measure their progress and the success of my instruction through observation, samples of their work, and testing.

I will strive to build a strong parent teacher relationship through regular communication and look forward to working with you and your child this year.
