# Radio Bakhita

Radio Bakhita 91.0 FM – the Voice of the Church – is a media house owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Juba, South Sudan. It was established in 2006 and officially opened in Juba on 8 February 2007, the day the Church there celebrates the country's first saint, Josephine Bakhita. It was established with the aim of "creating a platform to promote evangelization, communication for peace and good governance, as well as the general public's active participation in the life of the country."
It is the main station of the South Sudan Catholic Radio Network, covering an area of around 300 km$^2$, with a claimed potential audience of 1,000,000. The station transmits daily from 6:00 AM through to 9:00 PM in two languages, catering to speakers of both Juba Arabic and English.

## Programming

Radio Bakhita 91.0 broadcasts call-in discussion shows, community news, and short segments on health, education, peacebuilding, youth religious life, and women's rights. Particular broadcasts are designed for people traumatized by civil war. Radio Bakhita 91.0 also broadcasts programmes for specific skills, such as Terbia A and Terbia B, which consist of four series of 60 half-hour English language lessons that range from beginner to advanced levels.

## State censorship

Like other radio and print news sources in South Sudan, Radio Bakhita 91.0 has been periodically shut down by the country's security services for allowing live phone calls and open debates, and for broadcasting clips of opponents of the government of South Sudan. In August 2014, Security Services shut down the station and arrested several journalists.
# KPNW (AM)

KPNW (1120 kHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Eugene, Oregon, and serving the Eugene-Springfield area. It is owned by Bicoastal Media and it airs a talk radio format, known as "Newsradio 1120 and 93.7". The studios and offices are on Valley River Drive in Eugene. KPNW and Portland's KOPB-FM are Oregon's primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System.
KPNW is a Class B station. It is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. As 1120 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station KMOX in St. Louis, KPNW uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array full time to avoid interference. The signal covers the Western parts of Oregon in daytime and much of the West Coast of the United States and Western Canada at night. The transmitter is on Hideaway Hills in Creswell. KPNW is also heard in Eugene, Springfield and adjacent communities on 250-watt FM translator K229DC at 93.7 MHz.

## Programming

Weekday mornings on KPNW begin with Wake Up Call, an information and interview show with local hosts Bill Lundun and Gerry Snyder. The rest of the day includes nationally syndicated programs: Markley, Van Camp, & Robbins, The Dana Loesch Show, Infowars with Alex Jones, This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal, The Lars Larson Show (Larson was a one-time news intern at KPNW) and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.
Weekends include shows focusing on money, health, home repair, religion and the outdoors. Syndicated weekend shows include The Glenn Beck Radio Program, At Home with Gary Sullivan, Our American Stories with Lee Habeeb, Somewhere in Time with Art Bell, Music and the Spoken Word, Sunday Night with Bill Cunningham and The Jesus Christ Show with Neil Saavedra. Some weekday shows are also repeated on weekends. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio.

## History

The station signed on the air on February 12, 1962. The original call sign was KPIR and it broadcast on 1500 kHz. KPIR was a daytimer station, powered at 10,000 watts using a nondirectional antenna but required to go off the air at night.
The call sign was changed to KPNW on September 25, 1967. Shortly afterward, the station's owner, Emerald Broadcasting Corporation, changed its name to Pacific Northwest Broadcasting Corporation.
For most of the 1960s and 1970s, KPNW had a middle of the road format, with popular adult music, news and sports. It was a network affiliate of ABC Radio. In 1968, it added a sister station, 99.1 KPNW-FM. At first, the two stations mostly simulcast their programming, but KPNW-FM eventually had its own format of beautiful music. Today, it is KODZ.
In May 1969, KPNW moved to the current 1120 kHz frequency. It increased power to 50,000 watts and began using a directional antenna. The directional signal is necessary to avoid causing interference to KMOX in St. Louis, which is the dominant Class A station on the same frequency. At 50,000 watts full-time, KPNW is the most powerful AM station on the West Coast between San Francisco and Portland.

## Translator

KPNW also broadcasts on the following translator:
# KPOR

KPOR (90.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Welches, Oregon, and the Portland, Oregon, United States, radio market. The station is owned, and the broadcast license held, by the Educational Media Foundation.

## History

The 90.3 frequency in Welches has been network-fed its entire life, beginning as an Air 1 outlet in 2001.
The station was heard on 102.7 in Gresham and 92.7 in Vancouver Washington to improve its signal in the Portland area.
Two other translators in the Portland area at 95.9 and 96.3 were rebroadcasting KLVP 88.7.
In 2013, KXPC moved from Eugene to Portland.
What was KLVP on 88.7 took the KZRI call letters and Air1 affiliation.
KXPC, which briefly was on 97.9, took the KLVP callsign from 88.7.
Around the same time, 92.7 was upgraded and moved to Portland, continuing to rebroadcast KZRI, now at 88.7.
The 96.3 signal was a rebroadcast of KZRI until its move to 103.7, when it was leased to iHeart Media and started broadcasting as Tailgate Country 103.7.
The 102.7 signal was leased to Alpha Media to rebroadcast KXTG, leaving 92.7 as the Air1 signal directly in Portland.
KXPC's repeater in Portland is on 95.9.
On May 12, 2021, KXPC changed its call sign to KPOR.
# Ricardo Bressani

Cesar Ricardo Bressani Castignoli (28 September 1926 – 30 January 2015) was a Guatemalan food scientist. Born in Guatemala City, he received a bachelor of science in chemical engineering degree from the University of Dayton in 1948. In 1951, he received a master's degree from Iowa State University. In the same year, Bressani returned to Guatemala where he worked at the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama, INCAP. In 1952, he received a scholarship from the Rockefeller Foundation to study biochemistry at Purdue University, where Bressani obtained his Ph.D. in 1956. Afterwards, he reincorporated to the INCAP, this time as the Head of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Food until 1993.
In 1983, Bressani became one of the 42 founding members of the Third World Academy of Sciences, known today as The World Academy of Sciences. In the 1990s, Bressani was the editor-in-chief of the journal Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición. He was also an associate editor of the Food and Nutrition Bulletin. In 1992, he arrived to the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, and in 1998, he founded the Center for the Studies of Food Science and Technology. Bressani wrote more than 300 publications in many scholarly international journals.
Bressani performed an investigation on practical solutions to nutritional problems within the population of Guatemala and the rest of Central America. His experiments led to the creation and production of Incaparina, a nutritional supplement based on a mixture of corn flour, soy flour, cottonseed meal, and Torula yeast. This supplement was intended to be primarily served in the form of gruel.
# Robert Gersony

Robert Gersony is an American consultant known for his reports on conflict-affected countries, in particular in Africa. His most famous work, the 1994 "Gersony Report", was never actually finished. The "Gersony Report" was suppressed by the United Nations, who had originally commissioned it, because it had reached the politically embarrassing conclusion that the Rwandan Patriotic Front, which had taken control of the country after the Rwandan genocide, was carrying out politically motivated mass killing. The Anguish of Northern Uganda, a report commissioned by the US Embassy in Kampala, is arguably the most cited source on the Lord's Resistance Army insurgency.
Robert D. Kaplan, in his biography of Gersony, The Good American: The Epic Life of Bob Gersony, the US Government’s Greatest Humanitarian (2021), described Gersony as leading "a frugal monastic existence that has been both obscure and extraordinary". John S Gardner, reviewing the book, said that Gersony's work improved the lives of millions, saving many".

# Sacred Himalayan Landscape

The Sacred Himalayan Landscape is a 39,021 km$^2$ (15,066 sq mi) large trans-boundary landscape in the eastern Himalayas encompassing temperate broadleaf and conifer forests, alpine meadows and grasslands, which harbour more than 80 mammal and more than 440 bird species. It extends from Nepal's Langtang National Park through Sikkim and Darjeeling in India to western Bhutan's Torsa Strict Nature Reserve. More than 73% of this landscape is located in Nepal, including Sagarmatha National Park, Makalu Barun National Park, and Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. About 24% is located in India, encompassing Khangchendzonga, Singalila and Neora Valley National Parks as well as Fambong Lho, Maenam, Senchal, Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuaries, Shingba and Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuaries and Kyongnosla Alpine Sanctuary.
It links the Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in Tibet, one of the largest protected areas in Asia, with the Kangchenjunga Landscape in India and the Bhutan Biological Conservation Complex in Bhutan.
Climate change threatens the flora and fauna of this area. Trans-boundary protection of its biological and ecological connections is critical for the survival of such species as the snow leopard and the red panda that are threatened throughout the world.

## Sustainable livelihoods for the people

The area covers nine and a half million acres and includes five million people of diverse cultures who speak 40 languages. Most face abject poverty and are in need of sustainable livelihoods.
SHL is part of the initiation of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) that "taps into the spiritual beliefs and conservation ethics of local communities to restore essential habitats and protect endangered species such as the snow leopard."
WWF has cooperated with the three governments of Nepal, India and Bhutan to preserve the fragile "complex mosaic of biodiversity" and "achieve conservation while creating sustainable livelihoods in the Sacred Himalayan Landscape". The mountains in the SHL contain the future water supply, in the form of glaciers, for the huge population on the Indian subcontinent but are susceptible to natural disasters such as landslides, forest fires and flash floods that are caused by poor land management.
The Mountain Institute (TMI) has worked with farmers in the SHL by teaching them to cultivate medical plants, having trained over 12,500 since 2001.

# Cooranbong Airport

Cooranbong Airport (ICAO: YCOB or YOOB) is a former flying school operated by Avondale University located in Cooranbong, New South Wales.

## History

On June 26, 1946, an undated letter received from Brethren Harris, Davis, and Lantzke requested 600 acres of back paddock to be cleared for the construction of an airstrip. Soon afterwards, the Board voted to grant permission, signed by the principal of Avondale University. At the time, the airport was a concept.
The construction of the 300-yard-long airstrip began with hand tools, and it was too short for Australia's aviation standards at the time, which required 500 yards. The site was used by Adventist Aviation until WWII. Around 1949-1952, the airstrip was extended and officially opened. On July 1, 1964, fundraising and logistics efforts for the airfield converged. In the 1970s, the runway received upgrades, night lighting, and two buildings were installed.

### Flying School

On 16 March 1977, the Board received a seven-point report to landscape the flight school facility. In the following year, it accepted a quotation from W.G. Guidox Pty. Ltd. for $22,000. This plan also included an east-west runway that costed $4,000 and the purchase of several Cessna 152 aircraft for Avondale College Flying School. In 1979, the board authorized the Airport Control Committee to extend private flying operations. The aviation school was known to have one of the best pass rates, ranging from two to three times higher than national standards.

## Closure

On February 5, 2005, a closing ceremony took place, including several flypasts by the flying school over Avondale College. The flying school was relocated to Cessnock Airport, and the site of the airport was released to developers in stages over 10 to 20 years.
