The Inter-Communal Dialogue and Conflict Mediation project in Jos started in January 2013. From January to July 2013, HD has held consultative meetings with five community groups namely the Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Hausa and Fulani; Religious leaders; Federal and State Government and women and youth groups on the proposed project, as well as sought buy in for the proposed process.
The project, supported by the Canadian Government, has been geared towards achieving an agreement between the communities to end the dispute in Jos, and foster inter-communal co-operation leading to fewer incidents of violence. The Inter-communal dialogue and conflict mediation process itself, ‘The Jos Forum’, was launched in August 2013, with a formal opening ceremony attended by numerous members of the five communities, Federal and State Government officials, Religious leaders, women and youth groups, as well as civil society representatives.
HD successfully hosted seven dialogue sessions on various issues, including interim sessions to deal with the emerging tensions in Jos countryside.

In August 2013, HD launched the inter-communal dialogue process (HD’s Jos Forum) with an official ceremony attended by members of eight communities, Federal and State Government officials, religious leaders as well as representatives from women’s and youth groups, business community and civil society.
To date, HD has carried out eight dialogue sessions on various issues, including two interim sessions to deal with emerging tensions in the countryside around Jos. The issues covered in these sessions have included: trust building and religious tolerance, rebuilding places of worship, burial grounds and issues relating to youths, governance issues and access to services, traditional rulership and the renaming of places, land annexation, displacement of people and insecurity in the countryside, issues of indigeneship, impunity, reparations and compensation, securing of lives and property and public apologies. Following each dialogue session, the Jos Forum developed and endorsed recommendations on the issues discussed. These have ultimately formed the basis of follow-up actions by the Government, the communities, and civil society and development actors. In addition, the women through their own steering committee presented a Declaration of Peace to the Jos Forum, demonstrating their efforts towards ensuring the success of the dialogue process. The declaration was received by the Jos Forum with overwhelming enthusiasm. Likewise the idea was welcomed to include the women’s suggestions and additions in the Jos Forum’s final recommendations.

HD has undertaken extensive humanitarian mediation with the opposition movements in Darfur since 2004. It provided formal humanitarian support to the African Union/United Nations (AU/UN) Mediation in Darfur at their request in 2007 through an analysis of the humanitarian gaps in the previous Abuja peace process, and has subsequently facilitated roundtable discussions with representatives of the main opposition movements, in Darfur and elsewhere.
Through roundtable discussions, which began in 2010, HD has highlighted the humanitarian needs of these populations, which led to UN and agency project support in essential areas, such as health and water supplies. This served as a valuable confidence-building measure between the nomad representatives and the UN and opened a channel for dialogue with an important group who had not been directly engaged in formal mediation activities before.

This SH-3 Sea King was assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Four (HS-4).
HS-4 was the first anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter squadron of the U.S. Navy to deploy aboard an aircraft carrier, the escort carrier USS Rendova.
HS-4 was on scene for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The recovery was always made by "Helicopter 66". The helicopter's flight number was changed from "66" to "740", as after the Apollo 11 recovery the U.S. Navy had switched to a three number squadron designator - but the helicopter was repainted with the number "66" for each recovery thereafter for public relations reasons. HS-4 earned a Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) for these recoveries. For the recovery of Apollo 13 in April 1970, HS-4 was assigned to the helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima.
Helicopter "66" now sits on display on the USS Midway (CV-41) in San Diego, CA.

Three chimps showed different responses to a perceived threat, which was probably an action by one of the males. First, you have Lucy in the upper left making a classic scream response. Second, you have a rather “surprised” look on Milo’s face (14-month-old male), while his mouth is stuffed with food. This facial gesture is not a reaction “recognized” in the chimp community, but Milo will learn more common ways to respond over time. Finally, you have another adult female, Teeoni, making a sexual presentation. This is response is right out of the bonobo (formerly pygmy chimp) “play book” for conflict resolution. Bonobos are known to engage in sex instead of fight (i.e., a make love, not war strategy) in situations that common chimps would normally fight. In this case, Teeoni did not engage in sex (she wasn’t in heat), but this type of presentation has been observed to diffuse aggression in this chimp community on certain occasions. Note that no direct aggression nor fights that actually occurred for chimps shown in this picture; it was just typical chimp “drama.”
