After the storms, stand up, and be straight To the narrow hope, the way to God. Loan Vu Nigh, Artist Vietnam Voice TheEthnicLifeStoriesProject Springfield, Missouri Class of 2003 Ethnic Life Stories 2003 3 Loan Vu Nigh Acknowledgement As we near the consummation of the Ethnic Life Stories Project, there is a flood of memories going back to the concept of the endeavor. The awareness was there that the project would lead to golden treasures. But I never imagined the treasures would overflow the storehouse. With every Story Teller, every Story Keeper, every visionary, every contributor, every reader, the influence and impact of the project has multiplied in riches. The growth continues to spill onward. As its outreach progresses, "boundaries" will continue to move forward into the lives of countless witnesses. Very few of us are "Native Americans." People from around the world, who came seeking freedom and a new life for themselves and their families, have built up our country and communities. We are all individuals, the product of both our genetic makeup and our environment. We are indeed a nation of diversity. Many of us are far removed from our ancestors who left behind the familiar to learn a new language, new customs, new political and social relationships. We take our status as Americans for granted. We sometimes forget to welcome the newcomer. We bypass the opportunity to ask about their origins and their own journey of courage. But, wouldn't it be sad if we all spoke the same language, ate the same food, and there was no cultural diversity. This project has left me with a tremendous debt of gratitude for so many. The almost overwhelming task the Story Keeper has, and the many hours of work and frustration to bring forth a story to be printed. I salute you. To the Story Tellers, thank you for letting us share in your heart and soul. It is my prayer that some or many of the stories will influence many young persons to another level, to be enmeshed in the pursuit of learning of other cultures that make up our community and the world. This has, indeed, been a project of "Many" for the Community. Thanks to the following who have played a role in helping to achieve the goal. The list is practically endless, first names only.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

Farah Shahirah Hashim . Noorazilah Haris . Muhammad Faiz Zakaria . Nor Najwa Mohamed . Nadiah W Rasdi . Mohd Effendy Abd Wahid . Tomoyo Katayama . Kazutaka Takahashi . Malinna Jusoh Received: 25 August 2019 / Accepted: 10 March 2020 / Published online: 31 March 2020 The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Microalgae are considered as a promising resource for high-value substances. In this study, indigenous microalgae were isolated from various habitats and the optimum growth parameters for high lipid production were determined. Species identification was done by using universal 18S rDNA. Water quality was recorded during the sampling to determine the basic physical-chemical parameters for the growth studies. The screening for microalgae growth was done using plate reader with a focus on lipid-rich isolates by Nile Red fluorescent dye at different growth phase for 15 days. Results showed that ten microalgae species have been successfully cultivated from Terengganu water bodies. Analysis from genus Chlorella showed five isolates (TRG1-A01, TRG1-C01, TRG2-E01, TRG5-A01, and TRG3-B01) were clustered together, while two isolates (TRG2-A01, TRG3-A01) from the genus Nannochloropsis were N. oceania. Another two isolates (TRG1-D01, TRG1-E01) were closely clustered with Desmodesmus subspicatus while TRG4-C01 was clustered with Dicloster aquatus. The strain TRG2-A01 showed the highest fluorescent intensity indicating its potential to produce the highest intracellular lipid content.

There has been an increase in numbers of single mothers in Malaysia and their well-being is crucial as female-headed households. A total of 328 respondents involved using the purposive sampling technique. Field studies were conducted using Coping Strategies Inventory (COPE) questionnaires on coastal single mothers from four locations in Kuala Nerus district. Social support was identified as the main predictor in this study. Thus to find out the level of well-being among single mothers, descriptive statistics in the form of percentage and mean were analyzed. Then, the relationship between well-being and social support were measured using Pearson correlation. Lastly, social support predictor factors were analyzed using multiple regression to determine factors that influence single mothers‟ well-being. This study indicated that there has been different levels of well-being and negative relationship between the social support and well-being.

  • ID-79-20 the Indochinese Exodus
    @ *“i BY THE COMPTROLLERGENERAL Report ToThe Congress, -. 7, OF THEUNITED STATES M r.: The Indochinese Exodus: A Humanitarian Dilemma The continuing flow of refugees from Com- munist Indochina has strained the willingness and ability of Asian asylum countries to provide temporary care for refugees. Refugee camps are overcrowded and inadequate. There is a need for camps where U.N. and voluntary agencies can care for refugees and can process them for permanent resettle- ment, free from political restraints and the international relations problems of the asylum countries. Greater international participation in resettlement is essential. The U.S. commitment is clouded by outdated provisions in its immigration laws. Revisions that clearly embody US. intentions could help motivate participation of other nations and eliminate uncertainties which inhibit the resettlement work of voluntary agencies and Federal, State, and local governments. 109234 . .-; : (‘,.,.. ‘_ ,I. j ’ , 1; ;’ I. ‘, I,‘. :, Ii. ..1 ‘” . ,:.

Samples were taken at 2 coral sites with different live coral coverage as well as one offshore site. We detected substantially high enrichment factors (EFs) in abundance (where EF = SML/SSW: the ratio of microbial abundance in the SML relative to SSW) for all biological groups at all sites: up to 6.0 for heterotrophic bacteria, 4.2 for cyanobacteria, 18.8 for autotrophic nanoflagellates and 22.6 for heterotrophic nanoflagellates.

  • Trend of Meiobenthos Density and Composition in Karah Island, South China Sea (Corak Kepadatan Dan Komposisi Meiobentos Di Pulau Karah, Laut China Selatan)
    Sains Malaysiana 45(7)(2016): 1019–1024 Trend of Meiobenthos Density and Composition in Karah Island, South China Sea (Corak Kepadatan dan Komposisi Meiobentos di Pulau Karah, Laut China Selatan) K. ZALEHA*, M.N. NASIRATUL_SHAHIDA, H.Y. SIANG & B.Y. KAMARUZZAMAN ABSTRACT Meiobenthos in Bidong Archipelago in coastal water of the South China Sea is hypothesised to have a certain trend of distribution particularly in the island ecosystem where it is usually having different type of sea bottom. Nonetheless, since it is located in a tropical area, the trend at the sub-tidal could be less obvious due to absent of clear season. Meiobenthic sampling was carried out in Karah Island, an island in Bidong Archipelago, from the intertidal, towards the sub-tidal zone covering the coral and non-coral area to see the trend in the density and composition. A transparent hand core was used to collect benthos samples. Nematoda and harpacticoid copepods dominated the intertidal and sub-tidal zone respectively. Harpacticoid copepods were higher in density in the non-coral sediment than the coral area. This could be due to the high content of silt and clay in the coral area (2.98% of silt and clay). The 2-dimension MDS analysis on the density data indicated the highest degree of scattering and an over-lapping condition for those intertidal and sub-tidal samples respectively. ANOSIM result showed that the degree of similarity was lower at the intertidal (70%) than the sub- tidal (reaching 90%) in the first sampling before both became no significant different in the second sampling.
