The new Yap Island Market has seen an upsurge in participation with the latest market event held April 30, 2021. As Yap remains Covid-free, and the borders still closed, the Yap Visitors Bureau continues to find ways to enjoy a ânormal life.â Previously this kind of market activity occurred only occasionally during special events. The Island Market was launched late 2020 and it is gaining popularity. The event is held at the Yap Living History Museum every last Friday of each month. The recent pressures associated with Covid-19, including reduced imports and travel restrictions has increased the importance of this market that provides a source of food, cash, and other exchanges as well. Organized by the Yap Visitors Bureau the market will hopefully be a tourist attraction as visitors will also be able to enjoy the market and purchase art and handicrafts once the island opens up again.

How Humanity Can Realistically Prevent War From Ever Happening Again
An interview with anthropologist Douglas P. Fry on how societies that operate within peace systems avoid war and create positive intergroup relationships and what this might mean for humanity’s future.
We live in a time in which we face many global challenges, including the climate disaster, dwindling biodiversity (due to international industrial practices), polluted oceans, nuclear proliferation and a worldwide pandemic, just for starters. Realistic solutions to the hurdles humanity faces will require international cooperation which will require the adoption of viable alternatives to the predominant systems of conflict and war.
