Southern Regional Fuels Program recognized for implementing prescribed fire over 1.3 million acres this year
Wildfire season has intensified with “mega fires” becoming the norm across western landscapes. The Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but “when” the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons. Forests across the Southern Region applied prescribed fire on a regional record-high 1.3 million acres of federal lands. All of this was completed during a pandemic and a new budget modernization process.
The last decade, the U.S. wildfire season has intensified year after year with “mega fires” becoming common place across the western landscape. The Southern Regional Fuels Program acknowledged it’s not “if,” but when the south will have to face similar wildfire seasons as climate change continues making its mark. This Region accomplished implementing prescribed fire to more than 1.3 million acres in FY21, during a pandemic, and following a new budget modernization process.
Forest Service employees carried out the program of work while putting their trust in Regional leadership that the funding and needed resources would be provided. Every Ranger District executed its best effort on all burn days, managing the team's safety while meeting the objectives outlined in the interdisciplinary approved burn plans.
The Forest Service improved water quality, air quality, and carbon sequestration as it reduced the wildfire threat to local communities throughout the south, including Puerto Rico. Our employees embody the skills necessary to perform at a high level to accomplish the mission and communicate the benefits of their work to external audiences. This monumental feat would not have occurred without thousands of Southern USDA Forest Service Employees dedication and strong work ethic.
The success of the Regional Fuels Program was dependent on several individuals for their leadership and ability to communicate to make this year’s historic accomplishment possible.
Mike Ward has been at the helm of fuels management, overseeing suppression, aviation, and coordination functions to acquire the necessary resources and not overextending fire suppression needs. Ward coordinated with Air, Archeology, Biology, Budget, and Timber program managers to ensure a desired outcome by all.
Jason Demas has managed budget concerns and balanced fire suppression needs. Mike Seaton managed the surge modules stationed all around the Southern Region. Seaton communicated daily inside and outside the Geographical Area to keep a workforce available to meet Regional needs. Nancy Ellsworth was a critical contributor to streamlining the ordering process and troubleshooting with the National Interagency Coordination Center to improve the process.
Shardul Raval helped navigate the process to keep the Regional Leadership Team informed, while addressing concerns promptly. He had the bigger picture insight that led to the great success for all of our lands treated with prescribed fire.

Ministerio de la Producción evalúa implementar un CITE Forestal y Agropecuario en la región Cajamarca
El ITP realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores forestales y agropecuarios con una demanda potencial significativa, que necesita ser potenciada a través de servicios tecnológicos.
Este CITE será útil para darle valor agregado a los productos más representativos de la región, en particular aquellos de la cadena láctea.
La ministra de la Producción, Rocío Barrios, se reunió esta mañana con el Gobernador Regional, Mesías Guevara, para dialogar sobre temas relacionados al desarrollo productivo de Cajamarca.
En la reunión, Barrios informó que el Instituto Tecnológico de la Producción (ITP) realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información en la región y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores que necesita capacitación y asistencia técnica para potenciarlas y acompañarlas en su ingreso al mercado.
“Queremos materializar un plan de trabajo que permita acompañar a Cajamarca en su desarrollo productivo. Es una región muy rica y con potencial, el desafío es intervenir como Estado para darle valor agregado a sus mejores productos, con la intención que puedan generar empleo y se conviertan en un motor de crecimiento”, destacó.
CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial
La titular de PRODUCE sostuvo que se va evaluar la puesta en marcha de un CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial en la región, que en principio funcione como una Unidad Técnica (UT).
Indicó que en las próximas semanas debería iniciarse la intervención a través de la Red de CITE existente, así como el establecimiento de plazos para la posterior implementación del nuevo CITE, con el apoyo del Gobierno Regional de Cajamarca.
“Solicitamos al GORE que nos permitan un lugar habilitado para el local del CITE y su compromiso de apoyar este proyecto”; añadió.
Asimismo, precisó que desde el próximo mes el ITP podría realizar talleres y capacitaciones en la región a través de CITE Cedepas Norte y CITE madera, así como la posibilidad de que mypes cajamarquinas realicen pasantías.
Actividades protocolares
Durante su visita a Cajamarca, la ministra Rocío Barrios participó en la feria Fongal, que promueve la participación de productores de café y cacao con el objetivo de conquistar nuevos mercados a nivel nacional e internacional.
La tradicional feria agropecuaria, agroindustrial, artesanal y turística de Cajamarca, se realiza del 23 al 30 de julio con la intención de mostrar a la población local y a los turistas nacionales y extranjeros, a los mejores expositores y productores de esta región.
De igual manera, estuvo presente en el lanzamiento de la estrategia Cero Papel, a la cual destacó. “En solo seis meses este GORE está dando un salto digital muy importante y los felicito. La transformación digital permite que estemos comunicados y que los ciudadanos accedan a los servicios desde la comodidad de sus hogares”, finalizó.

- Implementarán acciones que impulsen las cadenas productivas de pesca, acuicultura, agroindustria y forestal
- Se asumieron acuerdos en el marco de los compromisos del 12° GORE Ejecutivo
- Viceministro Salardi entregó al alcalde provincial de Putumayo el expediente técnico aprobado para la construcción del mercado municipal
En el marco de la reunión para el cumplimiento de los compromisos derivados de la 12° del GORE Ejecutivo, el viceministro de Mype e Industria, José Salardi, señaló que el gobierno, a través del Ministerio de la Producción (Produce), impulsará el desarrollo de las cadenas productivas de pesca, acuicultura, agroindustria y forestal en Loreto, a través de un trabajo articulado con las autoridades regionales.
En ese sentido, indicó que la reunión de los equipos técnicos de su sector y del gobierno regional, ha dado como resultado una serie de acuerdos que contribuirán para que Loreto se convierta en una región productiva en base a sus potencialidades. "Hemos identificado que estamos muy alineados en muchas intervenciones, incluso en aquellas que ya tenemos en camino", destacó.
Al respecto, Salardi precisó que al cierre del primer semestre estarán implementados al 100 % el CITE Forestal y el CITE Productivo Maynas. "Es una inversión de 22 millones de soles que ha realizado Produce a través del ITP. Con lo cual se ha puesto en valor estas infraestructuras importantes, para poder dar todo apoyo y soporte a las cadenas productivas de pesca, acuicultura y agroindustrias".
Manifestó que para el presente año proyectan prestar un mínimo de 1200 servicios de innovación y transferencia tecnológica, que ayudará a fortalecer las capacidades e innovar a las diferentes industrias de esta región.

As you already know, Flickr implemented major changes for this website on May 20, 2013. These changes have created a lot of mixed reactions. A lot of Flickr members have deleted their account(s), or have stopped uploading their photos and videos to their account(s), and are now uploading their photos on other photo-sharing websites such as Ipernity. There are other Flickr members who have commended Flickr for implementing the changes.
When I logged on my Flickr account for the first time after the major changes, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. My first reaction (to be very honest) was shock. I actually got VERY angry after I realized that Flickr had made the unexpected changes.
However, I began to surf through my Flickr account and check out the major changes. I thought to myself that the changes are not too bad. I then thought to myself that I’ve spent a shitload of time uploading more than 7,600 photos and 1,100 videos to my Flickr account (and yes, I’m NOT kidding when I mention that I’ve uploaded more than 1,100 videos to my Flickr account thus far). To be very honest...I think it’d be an absolute shame for me to delete all of my photos and videos from Flickr, delete my Flickr account, and then start uploading my photos and videos to another website.
I then told myself that because of all the time I’ve spent uploading my photos and videos to Flickr, I should give myself a few weeks (or a few months) to get used to the new major changes. Nearly three weeks later, I’m pleased to say that I’ve gotten used to most of the major changes. I do have to admit that it’ll take me a few more months to completely get used to all of the major changes that were implemented by Flickr.
Therefore...for those of you who are wondering if I’ll continue to upload my photos and videos to my Flickr account...the answer is yes, I’ll always continue to upload many of my photos and videos to Flickr. I will NOT upload my photos and videos to another website.
I had a Pro Account when the changes were implemented on May 20. After a lot of contemplation, I’ve decided to keep my Pro Account, and will renew my Pro Account whenever I need to. I purchased a Pro Account for two years in June 2012, meaning that I’ll renew my Pro Account in a year from now (i.e. June 2014).
One of the main reasons for keeping my Pro Account is stats. I like to keep track of the number of views my photostream, photos, videos, sets and collections receive on a daily basis. Flickr members who had a Pro Account before the major changes were made on May 20 will get to keep their Pro Account and stats (provided that they do not let their Pro Account expire). Speaking of stats, the number of views of my photostream, photos, videos, sets and collections has pretty much remained consistent since May 20 (i.e. there’ve been no sharp decreases in the number of total views that my Flickr account receives on a daily basis).
My only complaint on these recent major changes is that I’ve noticed my bandwidth has noticeably increased since May 20...all because of the justified view and the nearly endless scrolling of all Flickr photostreams and the homepage of my Flickr account. There are quite a few ISPs (including my ISP) that will place a very inconvenient cap on a customer’s bandwidth if their bandwidth limit is reached in less than a month, which is the reason why I’ll be keeping a very close eye on my bandwidth so my ISP doesn’t place a cap on my bandwidth (my ISP allows me to keep track of my bandwidth on its website). I really do think Flickr should figure out ways to reduce the bandwidth for this website so Flickr users will not face an increased risk of having a cap being placed on their bandwidth by their ISP.
Lastly, for those of you who have been enjoying my photos and videos that I’ve uploaded to Flickr...I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for taking the time to enjoy them. Of course, each time I get any opportunities to take any photos and videos (especially when I’m traveling); I’ll always try to take advantage of those opportunities, and will then share many of my photos and videos by uploading them to Flickr. Amateur photography and videography will always be one of my hobbies...as I’ve noted on my profile for my Flickr account.
This concludes my personal comments on Flickr’s recent major changes. Thanks for taking the time to read my personal comments here.

The Cactus and Desert plants at the Desert Gardens at Cactustown just out of San Angelo, Texas on Highway 67 N have the best selection of Cactus and low water use Desert plants in Texas. At the Desert Gardens at Cactustown will find Cactus, Yuccas, Agaves, Ocotillo, Accent Plants, Desert Trees and Shrubs, Palm Trees, Aloes and Succulents, Desert Woods, Rocks and Minerals, and Dish Gardens. Also located at Cactustown is The Western Preserve, a Pickers paradise, with antiques, Western memorabilia, primitives, old implements and old rusty crusty... along with 1800's wagons, oxen yokes, old Coca Cola, claw foot bathtubs, old saddles, branding irons, bits, chaps, horse hanes & collars, plow discs & cultivator blades, old bottles, Western art, and wagon wheels along with many other treasures and memories of yesteryear to ponder over. Open limited hours on the weekend, Thursday & Friday 8a -12 noon, and on Saturday from 8a - 3p. Meeting the owner, Cactus Mike, was a special treat and he was so very helpful, interesting, and informative giving us a tour of the gardens and telling us about the marvelous desert plants and all the activity going on around Cactustown. He is building, doing most of the work himself, a B&B lodge with thick walls and wonderful architectural designs with American Indian influence. It is a work in progress along with other additions coming to Cactustown, such as the Cactustown Trading Company. He was visiting with us while also waiting on customers buying cactus and desert plants. We appreciated his expressing his gratitude for the blessing of rain the day before and taking time to share with us his beautiful Cactustown plants and his dreams... I have no doubt he will see them accomplished... so if you are ever near San Angelo, Texas on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays plan to make a stop and visit Cactus Mike and his beautiful very interesting Cactustown and savor a taste of the "Old West" and a very warm Texas welcome!!!

A rusty old harrow makes a contrast along a stretch of country road just north of East Stroudsburg, PA.
Set of carved wooden implements for the Chinese tea ceremony made with a lotus theme. Bought at the small jade market near the computer mall at Pateh in Taipei. I had originally thought that the whole set cost S$20; each item cost S$20 by itself.
There is a spoon in the shape of a lotus fruit; a pick shaped like a lotus root; as well as a scoop and a funnel that look like lotus leaves. These are for the tourist trade - the Taiwanese wouldn't bother with such artsy stuff for daily use.
I think the lotus root is for cleaning the spout of the teapot; the lotus fruit for loosening tea leaves; the bowl of leaves is really a sieve for directing the tea into the teapot, and the single leaf for pouring the tea from container into the pot.

We are very pleased to report the successful implementation of a running water project for Drokri (Herijiao) Community (Ninxiu (Nyin phyug) Township Town, Zeku (Rtse khog) County Town, Huangnan (Rma lho) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province).
A contribution of 129,800RMB from the Rotary Club of Beijing and 15,065RMB from the Rotary Club of Muenchen Blutenburg, plus a local contribution of 86,280RMB, ensured clean water to 240 Tibetan residents (37 households).
Before the project, Drokri Community’s biggest problem was a lack of water. Locals had to travel 5 to 9 kilometers (6 to 7 hours) to water livestock and fetch drinking water. Fetching water was culturally assigned to women who carried 25 kg of water in plastic containers on a daily basis. Donkeys, motorcycles, old tires, and tractors were also used to haul water. Due to lack of adequate water, villagers rarely washed clothes and showered. Consequently, locals were vulnerable to illnesses caused by poor personal hygiene.
This project brought water to both local people and livestock and has solved environmental degradation problems in the community. Livestock were driven once every two days to the distant water source. Much grass was damaged and could not feed the livestock that lived on it. This resulted in villagers needing to buy grass to feed livestock, which reduced their annual income. Now, with multiple water taps in the community, livestock no longer travel far across grassland to a single water source.
Furthermore, conflict was common between neighbor families and communities due to sharing the water source between households. Locals easily became involved in serious fighting. However, this issue no longer exists as multiple water taps are available adjacent to local households.
During project implementation, the local water bureau provided support and facilitated challenges of project designs. Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Beijing, especially Regula Hwangma and Robert Xing, also contributed helpful insights in project design. Local community contributed both labor and cash for trench digging and engaged the project throughout implementation. Many local men also learned basic water maintenance skills such as connecting pipes and repair.
Finally, we sincerely thank you for bringing this great gift to us.
