Notes from a 1977 interview with Robert L. Furniss (RLF) by R.C. Larson (RCL):
RCL: "What else did you do after you came back to Portland?"
RLF: “I set up a field laboratory at Pack Forest, which is the University of Washington’s experimental forest just to the west of Mt. Rainier. We studied a variety of insects: wood products insects, carpenter ants, ambrosia beetles, and a little weevil that attacks the young Douglas-fir (Cylindrocopturas furnissi), which is still a problem.
I started a study on flat-headed borers (Buprestis aurulenta and B. langi) that bore in seasoned wood. In the forest, they lay their eggs in downed timber, dead timber, and also newly sawn lumber, and therefore get into houses. And they will also lay their eggs in exposed lumber that is unpainted. Well, our interest was in the fact that these are reported to be quite long-lived. There are instances on record that would indicate that they live 20 to 50 years, from the egg to the adult stage. But this was circumstantial, in other words, a board was shipped to Britain, or someplace, and, since this insect is not native to Britain, it comes out and is alive and since the board can be identified as a Douglas-fir board that came over in a certain year, the assumption is that the borer must have been in the board all that time. There are a lot of examples of this circumstantial evidence. But in Pack Forest in those early years I got them to lay eggs and developed a method of maintaining larvae in blocks, and I still have some B. aurulenta in the basement. At least a few are alive [continued by M. Furniss at Moscow, ID after 1980]. We’ve got some in this house. They came from timber that was cut in the 1933 Tillamook Burn. They’re just a nuisance; if they come out through a wall in the living room, it creates a little excitement. But that’s about all. We caught live female adults and then induced them to lay eggs. When the eggs hatched, about a month later, we cut a little notch in each experimental block and put a, larva in it and sealed it. They just go in and live there, happily, I guess, for a long time. None has emerged yet under the indoor (dry) conditions that they have been kept since 1939-1941." Source (page 17): www.foresthistory.org/Research/FurnissRL.pdf

In the scope of executing the activities planned for the year 2011, regarding sexual and reproductive health, UNFPA has played an important role in providing and promoting quality health services for adolescents, youth, women and men in partnership with national governmental and non governmental organizations.
In this context, the Cape Verdean Institute for Gender Equality and Equity (ICIEG), the VERDEFAM, with technical and financial support from UNFPA, comes tomorrow to launch a national campaign of Promotion of the Use of Female Condom.
This campaign aims to disseminate and sensitize the entire Cape Verdean society, especially women, to use the female condom, a method that guarantees complete double protection because it contributes to the control of unwanted pregnancy and protect against disease and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV-AIDS, allowing women to have more control over their choices, empowering them so they can decide on their sexual and reproductive lives.
To accompany the act of launching the campaign are planned cultural activities, with the participation of the Grupo de Batucadeiras, Shukayaya and Teatro Fladu Fla.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored National Civil Rights Conference workshop "EEO Investigator Training: Updates and Best Practices," lead by, U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board Administrative Judge / Graduate School USA Instructor Gay Chase, at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015. This interactive training event will feature voices of experience, research, discussions, and thought-provoking dialogue. Workshop, Panel and Town Hall sessions will feature representatives from federal and local governments, tribes, community groups, business and industry, public interest groups, academia, and other entities. The integrative forum will provide conference participants an opportunity to network with colleagues representing a variety of interests who are from diverse organizations. Conference participants will accrue informative and productive resources that can support their individual program goals and objectives. We wish every conference participant a productive and positive experience through innovation and collaboration. USDA photo by Lance Cheung.

Feature
*
Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2000.Relationships between dress and the body have existed in European and Anatolian folk cultures well into the twentieth century. Traditional cultures have long held the belief that certain articles of dress could protect the body from harm by warding off the 'evil eye,' bring fertility to new brides, or assure human control of supernatural powers. Ritual fringes, archaic motifs, and colors such as black and red were believed to have powerful, magical effects.This absorbing and interdisciplinary book examines dress in a broad range of folk cultures - from Turkey, Greece, and Slovakia to Norway, Latvia, and Lithuania, to name but a few. Authors reveal the connection between folk dress and ancient myths, cults and rituals, as well as the communicative as

Wanted to have three associated images... and (apart from camera bags) footwear was the only other thing I could think of that exhibited all three qualities! (The socks are just an added bonus)

Eighty-five paramount chiefs from all over South Sudan are gathering in the country’s capital Juba at a-three-day capacity building workshop aimed at increasing their knowledge and skills towards being able to implement an Action Plan signed in 2020, aimed at protecting children and preventing six grave violations against children in armed conflict in South Sudan.
The United Nation’s Mission in South Sudan’s Child Protection Unit (CPU) identified this group as being influencers at the grassroot level and enlightening them is important to help protect the country’s children.
It is alleged that the chiefs have been a force behind mobilization of fighters, including children, in situations of conflict, and have also allowed military use of schools, amongst other issues that encourage child rights violations including denial of humanitarian assistance.
The workshop is organized by UNMISS in collaboration with UNICEF and Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration.

According to official figures, there were 20,000 refugees in Bangladesh under the protection of the UNHCR as of 2005 and they were living in Nayapara
and Kutupalong camps in southern Bangladesh. Nayapara and Kutupalong are housing 12,000
and 8,000 refugees respectively. However, these figures are only the tip of the iceberg. www.ihh.org.tr/uploads/2012/arakanraporu-en.pdf
