A coalition of student clubs at UVU, Utah International Mountain Forum (UIMF) has also continued its leadership role in working with the Mountain Partnership under the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN), a coordinator of sustainable mountain development activities on a global level. The articles contained in this volume represent but a small part of the efforts that have been expended toward advancing mountain development as a unique field of study. Utah Valley University traditionally focuses on its mission of being a teaching institution based on a community engaged learning model promoted by Carnegie Endow- ment. To continue these efforts and engage our students in developing research and leadership skills, we have involved them in the United Nations initiatives to advocate sustainable development among mountain communities both in the Rocky Mountain region and globally. We think that through publishing our second volume of the journal that focuses on mountain issues will certainly help to pur- sue our goal of engaged learning. Throughout this year, students and faculty at UVU were able to contribute to the discussions taking place at the UN. Conversations focused on new Sustainable Develop- ment Goals (SDG) that will replace Millennium Develop- ment Goals in the fall of 2015, as the UN benchmarks its evaluation of human progress around the world. We also had an UVU delegation that contributed to the UN’s ses- sion on the Open Working Group (OWG) on SDGs as well as other sessions. The UVU delegation expressed their concerns about the importance of mountain indicators that should be included among SDGs. Therefore, it is import- ant that we include the statement made by Jesler Molina, President of the UIMF, during the 2013 OWG conference as the leading piece in this volume. During the year, UIMF had opportunities to host various mountain-focused events, which include the International 2 Mountain Day (IMD) celebration of the United Nations on December 11, 2014. This was the 5th annual celebration of IMD at UVU. This celebration has been a great venue to raise awareness among students, faculty and the local community about the importance of sustainable devel- opment for mountain communities. Each year, more and more people join the celebration at UVU and remember the mountain cause. Utah Valley University’s International Mountain Day 2014 was highlighted by contributions from a number of prominent institutions and members of the Mountain Partnership, including the Mountain Institute, Gruppman International Music Institute, City of Orem, as well as the famous mountain climber, Conrad Anker. Preparations are underway by the UIMF for hosting the Fourth International Women of the Mountains Conference that will be held October 7-9, 2015, in Orem Utah. For the first time, students will take full responsibility to host the conference and faculty will help them through advising. The organizing committee of the conference has been cre- ated and it mainly consists of UVU students. At the same time, we welcome any participation or contributions from students attending other schools in the Rocky Mountains region. We have heard from several student organizations from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and Carroll College in Montana that have expressed an interest in being part of the organizing committee. We have includ- ed papers on gender issues and leadership among women in particular in this current edition as a way to initiate the upcoming conference. Sustainable mountain development initiatives at UVU have gone beyond the traditional gender focused activities, and have begun to focus on different aspects and challenges, for example, the mountains ecosystems. In this volume special attention is paid to the climate change challenges resulting in ecological concerns in the mountains and wa- ter management in particular. As we continue to expand our international focus, this volume features our first contribution written in Spanish. This contribution deals with climate change in the Andes Mountains. Additional contributions include the struggles in El Salvador’s with mountain development and global mountain concerns. Other articles focus on the impact of 3 climate change in the mountain communities of the Andes and Peru. In efforts to promote and educate about issues on sus- tainable mountain development, members of the UIMF worked with local high schools to educate students. We, at Utah Valley University, are proud to continue the tradi- tion of encouraging high school students to write articles on different aspects of the United Nations agenda. The United Nation declared 2014 as the “Year of Family Farm- ing.” To that end, the high school essay contest focused on family farming in mountain areas and articles of the winners will be featured in this volume. Passing the torch to the next generation of scholars and academics to con- tinue the furtherance of mountain studies is crucial to the preservation of sustainable mountain development as a field of study and the work done by these young students is remarkable. In our effort to expand the global cognizance in regards to mountain issues, we encourage students and scholars to submit papers related to sustainable mountain devel- opment and mountain issues for consideration in future volumes. Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Without further comment, the editorial board is pleased to present you with Youth and the Mountains, Volume

  • Martha Hughes Cannon: an Example of a New Womanhood in Utah
    Martha Hughes Cannon: An Example of a New Womanhood in Utah Martha Hughes Cannon, a nineteenth-century intellectual and activist, was described by a Chicago newspaper as "the brightest exponent of the women's cause in the United States."1 Cannon is most well known for being the first female state senator in the US. She ran as a Democrat and was elected on November 3, 1896. Cannon's additional claim to fame is that she defeated her husband, who ran as a Republican, by nearly 3,000 votes. A local paper commented on the husband's loss by saying, ``Mrs. Mattie Hughes Cannon, his wife, is the better man of the two. Send Mrs. Cannon to the State Senate and let Mr. Cannon, as a Republican, remain at home to manage home industry.''2 Martha didn't intend for her victory to overshadow her husband--she was simply trying to gain the power to enact the health reform legislation that she saw as necessary for the health of under-represented Utahns, such as women, children and the disabled. Despite Cannon's fame as a Utah Senator, she had many achievements under her belt before she ran for public office. At age nineteen she decided she wanted to be a doctor, and soon graduated from the University of Deseret with a degree in chemistry. Within five more years she completed her medical degree at the University of Michigan, went on to earn a B.S. from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Pharmacy and a bachelors of oratory degree from the National School of Elocution and Oratory.

Hannah Kaaepa Lowe Narrator #1: In the early years of the United States, women had voting rights in some states, ​ but over time these states did away with women’s suffrage. For a long time, only white men were allowed to vote. But after slavery was abolished in the 1860s, black men were given the right to vote in 1870 through the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. Narrator #2: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized a women’s rights convention ​ in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. There, Stanton read their “Declaration of Sentiments” to an audience of 300, demanding all the same rights that men had, including voting rights. After hearing Stanton speak, one hundred women and men signed the Declaration of Sentiments. This small convention began the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. Elizabeth Cady Stanton: Women have been oppressed and deprived of the rights that men ​ enjoy. We insist that we immediately be given all the rights and privileges that belong to us as citizens of the United States, including the right to vote! 2 Frederick Douglass: As a free black man fighting for the end of slavery and for the rights of all ​ people, I support Mrs.

This volcanic center, which produced mildly tholeiitic to transitional lavas, collapsed during a plinian eruption, giving rise to the formation of a partially preserved caldera (La Carbonera caldera). The renewal of volcanic activity started with clearly calc-alkaline lavas, mostly two- pyroxene andesites, that built up the San Vicente volcanic edifice. Crystal fractionation had primary control on magma evolution. The event that triggered the caldera forming plinian eruption is still uncertain; we have some textural evidences of mixing/mingling with more mafic magmas, but this process seems to be delimited to few samples. A major role could have been played by the tectonic instability related to the first stages of central graben opening. RESUMEN: Durante 1993 un equipo de investigadores italianos y salvadoreños realizó investigaciones en el volcán de San Vicente, El Salvador, con el objetivo de definir la evolución petrológica y volcánica de dicho centro volcánico.

Running on a Democratic platform, she'd just beaten her own husband, the Republican Angus Cannon.

  • Collin, Lois M
    Collin, Lois M. “Utah considers placing female statue in nation's Capitol amid national conversation on monuments and values,” Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah, January 24, 2018 SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is famous for giving women the vote decades before other states, but fewer people know Utah also elected the first female to a state senate, clear back in 1896. Now there's a push on Utah's Capitol Hill to send that same woman — Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon, who was also a physician — to Washington to represent the state in The National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol. The campaign comes as the nation grapples with what statues and monuments mean and what story they tell about a community or country. Recent decisions to remove or relocate statues featuring prominent Confederate Civil War figures have ignited protests and counter-protests about whether statues commemorate history or speak to what is valued in the public square today. Fans of Cannon believe it's time to emphasize the valuable role that women have played throughout American history. Utah women were leaders in the women's movement, and "Mattie" Cannon was one of the state's most precocious and accomplished players. "What we see every day reflects our values as a culture," adds Neylan McBaine, CEO of Better Days 2020, which is coordinating Utah celebrations of suffrage's 100th anniversary. "We're part of a valuable movement that is identifying gaps between what we see in our public iconography and what we value and hold dear." The Utah Legislature this session is considering SCR1, a resolution to enshrine Cannon — wife, mother, physician, politician and activist — who helped establish Utah's public health system.

Campus Sur, Autovía de Valencia km. 7, 28031 Madrid, Spain. +34913366487 Abstract This paper presents the results and conclusions obtained from new GPS data compiled along the El Salvador Fault Zone (ESFZ). We calculated a GPS-derived horizontal velocity field representing the present-day crustal deformation rates in the ESFZ based on the analysis of 30 GPS campaign stations of the ZFESNet network, measured over a 4.5 year period from 2007 to 2012. TheACCEPTED velocity field and subsequent MANUSCRIPT strain rate analysis clearly indicate dextral strike-slip tectonics with extensional component throughout the ESFZ. Our results suggest that the boundary between the Salvadoran forearc and Caribbean blocks is a deformation zone which varies along the fault zone. We estimate that the movement between the two blocks is at least ~12 mm yr-1. From west to east, this movement is variably distributed between faults or segments of the ESFZ.
