Climate change in Southeast Asia has been becoming a threat to agricultural production, food security, ecological stability, and sustainable development. Realizing the ongoing climate change issues, ASEAN Member States (AMS) together with international and national research agencies, and the private sector further continue working hand-in-hand to promote Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices to increase the resilience of the agriculture sector to the changing climate. From this background, the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN) Workshop on Promoting CSA Practices was held from 27-28 October 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The two-day workshop served as way forward to promote the prioritized best CSA practices among AMS.
The workshop is led by the Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) through its Department of Agriculture (DOA) in its capacity as the current chair of the ASEAN-CRN, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) of Vietnam as host. The German-ASEAN Programme on Response to Climate Change (GAP-CC) – implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat, provided support for this event, along with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

Slake tests measures the stability of soil when exposed to rapid wetting (i.e., cemented versus non-cemented material) .
Slaking is defined as a process that results in breakdown of soil aggregates (aggregate disintegration) to a finer aggregate size >2µm. Studies have established that slaking results from stress on the soil aggregate (shock of wetting) created from differential swelling, heat release from wetting, entrapped air, and mechanical action of moving water. The degree or rate of slaking in noncemented, in-situ soil materials is influenced by organic matter, clay content, clay mineralogy, Fe and Al oxides, carbonates, salinity of soil and water, and moisture content of the soil prior to wetting (i.e., antecedent water content).
____________________________
Chunks of these root-limiting materials were tested for cementation.
1. The material is checked for cementation by placing several fist-size aggregates in water. "Densic material" is relatively unaltered and does not meet requirements for any other named diagnostic horizons or any other diagnostic soil characteristic that has a "non-cemented" rupture resistance class. The bulk density or the organization is such that roots cannot enter, except in cracks, seams, or zones created by animal activity.
2. Once submerged, air dry material will immediately respond to the interaction with water and within minutes, the aggregates will disaggregate. The sample can be slightly agitated.
3. Within a few minutes, non-cemented aggregates will break down. Cemented aggregates will remain intact indefinitely.
4. The cemented material (if present) is removed, checked for degree of cementation, and a volume estimate made. This is an example of a noncemented root limiting layer.

NATCA Applauds Senate for Vote on FAA Reauthorization Five-Year Reauthorization Is Key Part to Long-Term Stability for FAA WASHINGTON – The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) today issued this statement from NATCA President Paul Rinaldi after the U.S. Senate passed a five-year Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. The length of the reauthorization is notable; it’s the first time since 1982 that the FAA will have received a full five-year reauthorization. Rinaldi stated, “The five-year reauthorization is a key part of providing long-term stability for the FAA, which NATCA has advocated for over the last several years. It supports air traffic control services, staffing, hiring and training, long-term modernization, preventative maintenance, ongoing modernization of the physical infrastructure, and maintaining services to all segments of our nation’s diverse aviation community. “This bipartisan bill would not have been possible without the great leadership of Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. NATCA thanks them for their efforts to reach consensus on the legislation and leading this bill to its successful passage in the Senate.” MORE INFORMATION: Doug Church, Deputy Director of Public Affairs; 301-346-8245, dchurch@natcadc.org.

Advancing women’s empowerment contributes to national stability, says DSRSG Walpole at International Women’s Day celebration
Baghdad, 07 March 2019 – International Women’s Day was celebrated today at an event organized by the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women at the Council of Ministers.
The event, which was supported by UN Women and the International Medical Corps, was attended by senior Iraqi government officials, including the two Deputy Speakers of the Council of Representatives, human rights activists, civil society representatives, the international community and many others.
Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) Alice Walpole addressed the meeting, along with Dr. Mahdi Al-Allaq, Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, who represented the Prime Minister; Dr. Thikra Alwash, Mayor of Baghdad and Chair of the Standing Committee on the Advancement of Women; UN Women’s Representative, Ms. Dina Zorba and UNFPA Representative, Dr. Oluremi Sogunro; as well as the Director-General of the Directorate for the Empowerment of Iraqi Women, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
In her remarks, DSRSG Walpole welcomed the upcoming discussions in Parliament on updating the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. “We need to acknowledge that domestic violence diminishes and shames all of society; it is a threat not just to women but to society itself,” she emphasised.
Reflecting on the challenges facing displaced women across Iraq, DSRSG Walpole noted that “They continue to suffer the brutal consequences of the recent conflict”.
“Female-headed households should be prioritised in accessing public services,” she said, and called on the Ministries of Defence and Interior, and the National Operations Command, to “to ensure that secure clearance mechanisms are coordinated among security actors to minimize re-screening of individuals already screened; and to consider removing security clearance requirements for civilians who have not been charged with a criminal or terrorism-related offence, so they do not face obstacles in accessing public services, including civil registries and courts”.
DSRSG Walpole also noted the high unemployment rate amongst young women, which is double that of men. She called on the government to “offer small business grants to female entrepreneurs to help them into the business arena, in particular to women returnees in the liberated areas, and those heading households”.
“Advancing women’s economic empowerment in this way will contribute to the government’s efforts to achieve national stability,” she noted.

The goal of this project was to create a grid of boxes that show lines in four states - stable, chaotic, repetitious, and in motion. A challenge to this goal was that each of the rows were to be cohesive and resemble the original (stable) panel.
Common approaches were applied to each row and each subject matter in this project. The line weight in the stability row ranges from extremely thin and fragile to large and stable lines. In the chaos row, the lines became more chaotic through the method of bending and brush stroke. The repetitive row has a habit of repeating select lines and leaving other lines in their original place and state. The row showing movement is the most spontaneous of the rows, involving push and pull illusions, unstable waves, and airiness.
This project was created in gray scale on Adobe Illustrator, printed on a 6"x8" sheet of Folia 130G paper.

I wanted to take a photo of an airplane that I randomly made one day, and it had so much speed and stability that it was the best paper airplane that I or possibly anyone has ever made. So I had my dad hold the airplane up in one hand, and set the airplane on a yard in the shade, because the sun was too harsh and made a really bright yellow on the paper. I did basic adjustments in LightRoom, and I masked out the background in the top photo because it was too distracting. And I also added the borders in Photoshop. How do you make two different but related photos work as one concept? These photos show the same subject but in two backgrounds that airplanes are most often begin and end in, with one of the sky on top and one of the ground on the bottom.

Pacific manifestation to reject the new Development program,wich won't GUARANTEE the stability of the ecosystems and the social life , as well as the permanence of the economic-tourist activity with high standards of quality, we want this new project of urban development to respect the protection to the Ecosystems. If the government approves this plan, would be condemning this tourist and habitacional destiny to a ECOCIDE of immense consequences and a social crisis without solution.
