At a Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce meeting in the early 1970s, Len Laurance said that eventually Ketchikan would host more than one million cruise ship passengers each season.
The proclamation, made at a time when less than 70,000 cruise passengers visited the First City, was met with guffaws by the audience.
But Laurance, who died at 88 on April 8, was right. In both 2018 and 2019, Ketchikan had more than one million cruise visitors and would likely have had more than 1.3 million in 2020 if not for the COVID 19 pandemic that shut down the entire Alaskan cruising industry.
In an interview in 2014, Laurance said his projections were simply based on a 10 percent increase every year.

In the midst of a raging second wave, which is touching new peaks each passing day, the Central government has abdicated its responsibility to ensure vaccine equity through free vaccination for the poor across all age groups. While State governments were never consulted or given prior notice about the change in vaccination policy, giving the two vaccine manufacturers a free hand to decide the price at which vaccines will be sold to State governments has made universal COVID-19 vaccination a difficult task to achieve. A large percentage of those aged 18-44 years does not have the resources to pay for vaccines and hence will fall through the cracks. So, the States will have to take a leading role in the free immunisation programme. While nearly two dozen States have already committed to vaccinate for free the target population, it remains to be seen if they use any criteria to identify the beneficiaries. Never before has

As the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, government officials at all levels are reevaluating their health and safety protocols and adjusting workplace guidance based on ever-shifting case metrics. While all states had begun reopening over the summer, rising cases have caused many jurisdictions to either pause their progress, or return to more restrictive measures. Jurisdictions across the country continue to progress and regress by implementing different measures, on different timetables – resulting in a patchwork that is particularly challenging for multistate employers.
The chart below provides links to key reopening orders and/or mitigation measures issued in recent weeks, at the statewide level. Employers should bear in mind that these materials typically offer detailed instructions, which often vary by industry. As a result, it is important to review each order along with any corresponding of

Review the Hoima Sugar ESIA report, mitigation measures, Ugandans, public
On August 14 last year, Nema issued a certificate of approval for the ESIA report authorising Hoima Sugar to take over more than 21 square miles of Bugoma forest to plant sugarcane, among other activities.
According to the certificate, Nema permitted Hoima Sugar to use 21 square miles out of the 22 square mile lease the latter secured from Bunyoro Kingdom at Shs3b against the will of National Forestry Authority (NFA) and Ugandans.
However, the powers Nema used to approve the ESIA report for Hoima Sugar was contrary to the EIA Regulations of 1998. This was a clear indication of the violation of environmental laws because Nema did not invite the public, religious leaders, etc, for their input.
