Water resources in the Pacific Island Network (PACN) support rich and diverse ecosystems and aquatic communities that include corals reefs, anchialine pools communities (endemic to Hawaii), and freshwater stream communities. These water resources span a range of conditions from pristine to highly impaired water bodies. Both point and non-point sources impact the waters of many of our network parks at various locations to varying degrees. Aquatic resource protection is required by all the governments of the PACN, and water quality is widely used as an indicator of aquatic resource condition by regulators and ecologists. The United States Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1977 requires States and Territories to promulgate legally enforceable water quality standards (WQS) and lists of waters not currently meeting or expected to meet the standards. This protocol should provide the parks with some of the summary information necessary to determine their compliance with the applicable WQS in addition to providing correlative environmental data to ecologists. The water quality vital sign is closely linked with the benthic marine community, marine fish, groundwater, and freshwater animal communities vital signs, and monitoring efforts will be conducted in parallel to maximize data value. The water quality protocol will be implemented in all PACN parks. This protocol provides the methodology for addressing two monitoring questions: 1) What are the ranges and variances of the network water quality parameters within selected water bodies? 2) What are the temporal and spatial trends of the network core water quality parameters for individual water bodies or water resource types in each park?

In today's world, there is a greater abundance of opportunity for both organizations and individuals to accomplish extraordinary goals. However, all too often, the demands of our jobs, coupled with the barrage of information coming at us from so many sources (e.g. texts, emails, reports, tweets, blogs, web-sites, etc.) is overwhelming, exhausting and distracting. The sheer volume of distractions threatens our ability to think clearly and make good decisions. If we react to these stimuli without careful discernment, we will sink into a sea of irrelevancy and fail to accomplish the things that matter most in our professional and personal lives. When we deliberately pay attention to the most important things amidst the distractions, we can harness the opportunities and technologies available today and soar to creative and innovative heights.

A must read for anyone interested in the numbers behind American baseball

This is an introduction to a unified hyper-, super-, or otherwise-exotic mathematics, based on Mathematical Modeling of algorisms and then algorithms, more along Vedic than other cultural platforms, that has a unified concept of Consciousness-Generated Comparative(s) of Seed-Flow Interchangeance Amongst Voidance. This book does not necessarily respect any one culture or society above any others, especially those that choose their own mathematical systems; but it has a most general mathematical layout.

"I listened to my mum, my dad, my gramma, that is why I am still here. That is how you stay alive." -Mida Donnessey Wisdom Engaged demonstrates how traditional knowledge, Indigenous approaches to healing, and the insights of Western bio-medicine can complement each other when all voices are heard in a collaborative effort to address changes to Indigenous communities' well-being. In this collection, voices of Elders, healers, physicians, and scholars are gathered in an attempt to find viable ways to move forward while facing new challenges. Bringing these varied voices together provides a critical conversation about the nature of medicine; a demonstration of ethical commitment; and an example of building successful community relationships.

This is an introduction to any hyper-, super-, or otherwise-unified physics that is described as sensative(s) of a Congenitive-Entity that is of the General Light that is of God, which is more along Biblical or Vedic pathways of thought than that of man-made Physics systems; this includes, but is not limited to, Universes that are described as structure(s)-space(s)-amongst-voidance(s)-process(es) that are simulations of this Congenitive-Entity, in which subcollective simulative forms of light are generated, such as, for example, the light that us human beings are familiar with in this Universe, amongst other subcollective form(s) of light(s) that can or do exist.

The author calls for radical action to solve the problems of Europe. Among his suggestions are that the states of Europe, including Britain, unite to form one body to serve the political and economic interests of all.
