In this bonus episode, we're sharing a press conference from the House Committee on Natural Resources, which oversees insular affairs for the United States, including the affairs of Puerto Rico. What you'll hear in this press conference is a historic announcement from congressional members, who have supported two opposing bills that address Puerto Rico's status.  The press conference will tell you more, but to give you a high level view, US House lawmakers announced today that they have come to a compromise and are working on legislation called the Puerto Rico Status that, if passed, would trigger a binding referendum on Puerto Rico's political status. The proposal would require Puerto Ricans to choose from three options: independence, statehood, or sovereignty in free association with the US. What makes this different from past referendums is that it would be binding - meaning that it would require Congress to act on the referendum regardless of the outcome. The speakers you'll hear from in this episode include: Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) Chairwoman Nydia M. Velázquez House Committee on Small Business (NY-07) Chairman Raúl M. Grijalva House Committee on Natural Resources (AZ-03) Rep. Darren Soto (FL-09) Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón (PR-AL) Rep.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 5-6-22. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of May 9 and May 16, 2022.   This episode from is part of a series this year of episodes related to trees and shrubs. MUSIC – ~14 sec – instrumental. That's part of “New Spring Waltz,” by the late Madeline MacNeil, who was a well-known and highly regarded musician based in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Each new spring brings a chance to focus on the life cycles of wildlife.  This mid-spring episode of Water Radio explores some connections among nesting birds, trees, and water.  Have a listen for about 30 seconds to three mystery sounds, and see if you know these three bird species who nest in trees near water, either always or at least sometimes.  And here's a hint: you'll be singing a melodious trill, if you hit this mystery out of the park. SOUNDS  - 29 sec. If you guessed two warblers and an oriole, you're right!  And you get bodacious bird bragging rights if you recognized, first, the Prothonotary Warbler; second, the Northern Parula, also a kind of warbler; and third, the bird for which Baltimore's baseball team is named, the Baltimore Oriole.  All three of these songbirds are found in Virginia in the spring and summer breeding season.  During that period, the Prothonotary Warbler is common in Virginia's central and southern Coastal Plain and can occasionally be found in some other parts of the Commonwealth; the Baltimore Oriole is common outside of the Coastal Plain; and the Northern Parula is common statewide.  The three species show a range of attachment to water-side trees as their nesting habitat.  The Prothonotary Warbler is particularly known for nesting in cavities in trees around water; in fact, the bird is sometimes called the “Swamp Warbler” in the southeastern United States.  The Northern Parula typically nests in trees along rivers and wetlands, especially in areas where it can find the materials it prefers for making its hanging nests: Spanish Moss or a kind of stringy lichen; this bird is also known to make nests out of debris left in trees after floods.  The Baltimore Oriole is the least water-attached of these three species, being found nesting high in trees in many areas outside of deep woods, including parks and yards; however, streamsides are among the species preferred areas for the bird's fibrous, hanging nests. If you're near streams, rivers, or wetlands and you see or hear any of these three birds, look to nearby trees for cavities or hanging materials that may be harboring the birds' next generation. Thanks to Lang Elliott for permission to use the bird sounds, from the Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs.  Thanks also to Janita Baker of Blue Lion Dulcimers and Guitars for permission to use Madeline MacNeil's music, and we close with about 25 more seconds of “New Spring Waltz.” MUSIC – ~26 sec – instrumental.

Russia is a major exporter of diamonds, with the country supplying one-third of the world's diamonds. This is a notable amount as the large Russian diamond company, Alrosa has direct ties to the Russian government. This week – we cover the global diamond trade and what more needs to be done to ensure that the global diamond business is not funding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.   Learn more at: https://viewpointsradio.org/global-intake-of-russias-diamonds/

Next weekend is the annual Governor's Fishing Opener in Minnesota. Each year during the fishing opener, about half a million Minnesotans go out to lakes, rivers and streams to cast their lines and catch some fish.  Fishing is a long tradition for many Minnesotans. For others, it's a new hobby. On Friday, MPR News host Angela Davis talked all about fishing, what it means to Minnesotans and where to start if you want to learn more.  Guests:  Benji Kohn is the Fish and Wildlife Outreach Mentor Network Coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Bradley E. Harrington is a tribal liaison for the Minnesota Department of Natural  Resources

I've always had a thing about catch and release; I don't like participating in fisheries where there is no take allowed. (Obviously, I release lots of fish that are undersized or incidental catch though). But my opinion, even though it's based on research, isn't nearly as important to listen to as are the research findings of Stephanie Shaw of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. (And no, we're not related.) Catch and release is Stephanie's specialty, and together we bust some myths and talk about best practices for catch and release, primarily in freshwater fishing, but relevant to saltwater, too. 

This month, Host Seth Stephenson sat down with the Dean/Director of UAM's School of Forestry, Agriculture, & Natural Resources Dr. Michael Blazier to discuss the state's only school of forestry. The two talk about what it takes to get a forestry degree as well as some of the challenges both students and faculty are facing today.  For more information on the school, visit https://www.uamont.edu/.

The company's flagship assets are the KRL North and KRL South projects. The projects are located in the Kainantu gold district of Papua New Guinea, in proximity to the Kainantu mine of K92 Mining Inc.

The offering was originally aimed at raising CAD$ 1.5 million but was upsized due to oversubscriptions. Kainantu Resources Ltd. also announced that it had successfully completed an Airborne Geophysical Survey over both its KRL North and KRL South projects. The obtained geophysical data, which shows high-grade mineralization similar to that found at the Kainantu mine area, will be implemented in combination with mapping and geochemical sampling data to identify targets for an exploration drilling program at the KRL North project. The company has also announced that it has entered into a definitive sales agreement with Harmony Gold Exploration Limited, a subsidiary of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited, to acquire 100% of the Kili Teke project in Papua New Guinea.
