	FLOC Immigration Position
		The FLOC position has always been a path to permanent residency for all immigrants who have come to support their families and are making important contributions to local economies and communities.
		FLOC members and leaders are opposed to militarizing the Mexican border, which has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths in recent years as people seeking opportunities to support their families have been forced to take more dangerous routes across the border.
		FLOC leaders have stated that punishing desperate people for seeking opportunities to support their families and escape oppression, building walls, and other "enforcement" provisions will never stop migration, while U.S. policies such a "free trade" agreements play a major role in the forces driving global migration.

	Flocculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flocculation refers to a process where a solute comes out of solution in the form of floc or "flakes." The term is also used to refer to the process by which fine particulates are caused to clump together into floc.
		The floc may then float to the top of the liquid, settle to the bottom of the liquid, or can be readily filtered from the liquid.
		In dispersed clay slurries, flocculation occurs after mechanical agitation ceases and the dispersed clay platelets spontaneously form flocs because of attractions between negative face charges and positive edge charges.

	North Carolina Migrant Farmworkers Win Landmark Victory with FLOC
		FLOC, which received a national charter from the AFL-CIO last month, represents 10,000 farmworkers in the Midwest and North Carolina.
		Because growers will no longer be able to shirk their responsibility to temporary employees by leaving the NCGA and thereby negating the union contract with FLOC, the settlement is expected to strengthen farmworkers’ ability to form unions.
		FLOC is a major force on behalf of migrant farmworkers in the Midwest and in North Carolina.

	Support FLOC
		FLOC opens doors to the world beyond the restricted environment in which they live, and teaches young people that they have the opportunity and the capability to live within that larger world.
		The FLOC Outdoor Education Center in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia offers wilderness experiences with a variety of challenging activities to develop the natural abilities of young people, and provide them the opportunity to learn through hands on, experiential education about teamwork, leadership, and communication - and about themselves, others and the natural environment around them.
		FLOC serves high-risk youth from DC and West Virginia at the Outdoor Education Center with experiential education and leadership development training through our “Closing the Advantage Gap” program, funded through a federal grant and through OEC program fees.

	FLOC Midwestern Supporters Meet
		Baldemar Velasquez shared a visions of where FLOC is going in North Carolina (which has "right-to-work" laws designed to neutralize workers' collective voice), Mexico, immigrant rights, financial needs (where member dues are based on low-wage seasonal workers), and the coming Convention on Sept. 30.
		To fulfill this mission, it is necessary to maintain constant communications between FLOC and local supporters, recruit volunteers for the cause, build local networks, inform and mobilize their local communities in support of FLOC, and raise funds to expand the capabilities of the movement.
		FLOC's goals for immigrant rights were discussed, including permanent residency for undocumented immigrants, family reunification, and full human, civil, due process, and working rights for all immigrants, as well as the freedom of workers to seek jobs wherever they available within countries bound by trade agreements.

	FLOC vs. Campbell Soup
		For six years, FLOC struck and boycotted Campbell, but the company wouldn't budge, claiming that it wasn't responsible for farmworker conditions since farmworkers were not employed by Campbell but by the farmers with whom Campbell contracted.
		FLOC has tried unsuccessfully to arrange three-party negotiations with the farmers and Campbell, but failing this, now is taking the route of the corporate campaign The AFL-CIO has not approved a boycott of Campbell and does not support this Corporate Campaign"
		FLOC was able to announce that "the tomato and cucumber contracts include insurance policies, wage increases, 48-hour grievance resolution, paid union representatives and the establishment of committees to study the issues of pesticide protection, housing, health care, safety and day care.

	Embley et al. -- Recent eruptions on the CoAxial segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge
		It should be noted that at the latitude of the Floc site, almost all of the epicenters in the 1993 T wave swarm are west of the CoAxial neovolcanic zone.
		The Floc site is where a mismatch between the T wave locations and seafloor geology becomes clear.
		An interesting aspect of the venting at the Floc site was that while it was located within a zone that consists of many individual structures, the venting at any particular location was always localized along a single fissure or graben, usually the westernmost structure in the swarm.

		Because the density of many of these particles is only slightly greater than water, agglomeration or aggregation of particles into a larger floc is necessary in order for them to be removed by sedimentation and filtration.
		The clarified water then can be either discharged or reused and the settled floc can be collected, dewatered and disposed of as solid waste.
		In addition the floc particles are weighted by the clay particles which allows them to settle much more quickly.

	Controls on floc size in a continental shelf bottom boundary layer
		Typically, maximal floc diameter stayed relatively constant, around 1 mm, and it showed a dependence on turbulence parameters that was significantly weaker than that predicted by any model that assumes that turbulence-induced stresses limit floc size.
		The correlation in time between episodes of floc destruction and elevated combined wave-current stresses provides the first quantitative support for the hypothesis that floc size throughout bottom boundary layers can be controlled by breakup in the intensely sheared near-bed region.
		These observations demand a reassessment of the forces limiting floc size in the sea, and they indicate the potential for significant simplifying assumptions in models of floc dynamics.
