Contessa Premium Foods' Dedication to Sustainable SeafoodJohn Z. Blazevich
An entrepreneur, John Blazevich led Contessa Premium Foods as the president and CEO until 2011. During his tenure with the international food manufacturer, John Blazevich maintained a keen interest in sustainability.
Contessa possessed a dedication to sustainable seafood sourcing. Due to inadequate farm management and soil erosion, the earth lacks the productive soil needed to serve the needs of a growing population.
As a result, Contessa developed a focus on aquaculture. Mr. Blazevich foresaw that the world’s food supply could be expanded through aquacultural farms, which provide a large volume of shellfish and finfish.
He believed that since traditional agriculture and livestock practices appeared to be insufficient to meet the needs of an expanding population, aquaculture served as a solution. Contessa sought to develop and refine aquacultural techniques.
From its beginnings in 1984, Contessa began supplying imported farm-raised shrimp from Southeast Asia. In 2010, Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program recognized and named Contessa's sustainable shrimp as a “Good Alternative.”

The Kona Coast (aka West Hawaii) is the third largest supplier, behind the Philippines and Indonesia, of coral reef wildlife for the U.S. saltwater aquarium hobby. The U.S. trade annually imports over 11 million fish to supply 700,000 household aquariums and public display aquariums. This massive wildlife trade exacts a toll on the animals and their reefs. This presentation describes the impacts to Hawaii's coral reefs and wildlife.
Millions of reef animals are taken from Hawaii's nearshore reefs for sale in the marine aquarium hobby.
This presentation details the impacts and advocates for ending the use of coral reef wildlife in the marine aquarium trade and hobby.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Introduction
Do you like eating fish ? Sometimes in the past,
fishponds played an important role in the Hawaiian
culture. A fishpond is a stone wall surrounding
water. It provided some reliable food sources such
as fish, crabs, and limu. Therefore, people are
working to restore fishponds so they can
again,become a reliable food source.
3. Event.Problem.Issue
In every issue investigation there is always a
E.P.I. E.P.I is an abbreviation of event, problem,
and issue. The event for our issue is fishponds
haven’t been maintained well and are all
mistreated. Our problem is that fishponds are
causing a unhealthy near shore eco-system.
Last but not least is the issue. Our issue is “How
can fishponds be maintained in a way that
supports a healthy near shore eco-system?”
4. History
Fishponds were estimated to exist for over 2,000
years. At one point in time, fishponds produced
thousands of pounds of fish. In 1785, when Captain
Cook came to Hawaii there were 360 fishponds. By
1960, there were six fishponds that were reported to
be in use on Oahu. At the beginning of the 20th century,
only 60 of the original 486 fishponds were productive.
The Hawaiians built these rock walled enclosures in the
near shore waters to raise fish. The fish that were
raised were for their families and communities. To
build these fishponds the Hawaiians had to pass rocks
from the source of the stones to the fishpond site.
Therefore, natural disasters had left fishponds
mistreated.
5. Player 1
During our issue investigation Uncle Mervin
Dudoit played an important role. Uncle Mervin is a
cultural practitioner and fishpond restorer. Some
information he shared is as follows : “Fishponds are
dead without freshwater springs.” “Ogo is no good for
fishponds.” “I don’t want to use herbicide at all in the
pond, because I don’t know if it is going to harm the
pond.” “All rocks for fishponds came from the north
side of Molokai.” He was very helpful and his
knowledge really assisted with our knowledge.
6. Player 2
Another important player in our investigation is
Aunty Arleone Dibben Young. Aunty Arleone is a
biologist, and she is the only one on Molokai who is
allowed and approved to use the mangrove
herbicide. These is some of the information she
passed along to us : “Mangroves were planted to
stop erosion.” “More people on Molokai should get
certified using the herbicide.” and her last quote was
“Pohoele fishpond is located in palaau and some
mistakenly call it palaau pond. It is now filled with
sediment from overgrazing and farming and is solid
mangrove.” Thus, she taught us many important
things about mangroves and their impact on
fishponds.
7. Player 3
Another player in our issue investigation is
Joseph M. Farber. He is the author of the Ancient
Hawaiian Fishpond book. He played and important
role by recording what he learned about the history
of fishponds. He said “Fishponds are unique
creatures and are historically important. They are
of great culture and spiritually significance to the
Hawaiian culture.” A good part of our research
came from him.
8. Player 4
On January 1956, Governor Samuel Wilder
King made two statements about restoring
Molokai’s fishponds. His first statements was,
“The territorial government will provide
immediate plans for the restoration of fishponds
on Molokai.” He then stated “If this is
successful, more fishponds will be restored in
order to raise fish for the commercial market.”
Undoubtedly I believe that Governor King’s
statement is important to remember.
9. Environmental Impacts
Fishponds are causing an un-healthy near
shore ecosystem. The walls of the fishponds
cause muddy silt to build up which is caused by
erosion. Hence the erosion hurts the reefs and
pollutes the ocean. The mangroves spread along
the rock wall and it causes the wall to break
apart. The gorilla ogo is a bad specie for the
fishpond because its endangered and it grows
wild. Tsunamis and sea storms fill in the pond
and destroys the walls as well. In conclusion, this
should not be happening and it needs to be
solved soon.
10. Data Set
In 1829, Puko’o fishpond was the last constructed
fishpond. The amount of fish harvested were enough to feed
the chief’s, families, and communities. The types of fish raised in
the fishponds are ‘ama’ama (mullet), awa (milkfish), ahole-hole,
moi, papio, oio, and other fishes that come in and out. They
produce some 460-600 pounds per acre per year. The cost to
restore a fishpond is between $50-80,000. In 1997, there were
335 fishponds, it was evaluated that only 56 had the potential to
be restored. Of the 56 ponds 6 were rated as excellent, 15 were
good, and the rest were fair or poor in terms of potential
productivity. Today, there are a few fishponds that produce
commercially. Those /that do cultivate ogo, rainbow trout, carp,
and tilapia. In final consideration, fishponds has declined rapidly
over the past century.
11. State Building
Fishponds can be bought , leased, and sold. To restore a
fishpond multiple permits are required. The permits required
are federal, county, and state. You will need 17 permits and
they will cost between $50-80,000. This process takes several
years to complete. Leasing a state owned fishpond posses
many obstacles, such as cost and time. In 2002, the DLNR
gave permission to restore Keawenui fishpond for small scale
non-commercial activities. The DLNR told the state owned
fishponds that they need to take care of there resources and
take good responsibility. Fishponds are considered
submerged lands. Therefore the laws for the fishponds are
getting more and more strict.
12. Conclusion
In conclusion fishponds were a reliable
source of food for the Hawaiians. Fishponds can
also provide educational opportunities and
share cultural values for the people of Hawaii.
Therefore I think that we should continue and
keep this Hawaiian culture going.
