Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

On July 19, 2010, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13547 establishing a National Policy for the Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes. The Executive Order directed federal agencies to adopt and implement the Final Recommendations of the White House Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, a body established by President Obama in June 2009 to make recommendations about U.S. ocean policy. The Task Force recommendations called for the establishment of a national ocean policy with a strong federal coordinating structure and an effective framework for implementation based on coastal and marine spatial planning, all to be overseen by an Interagency National Ocean Council. The new national ocean policy represented the realization of one of the key recommendations urged by the US Commission on Ocean Policy and the Pew Oceans Commission and championed by the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative.

To translate the National Ocean Policy into on-the-ground actions, the National Ocean Council released the National Ocean Policy Implementation Plan in April 2013. The Implementation Plan, which incorporates input from a range of stakeholders, including industry, conservation, and science perspectives, describes specific actions federal agencies will take to address ocean-related challenges, gives states and regions greater input into federal decisions, streamlines federal operations, and promotes economic growth.

Since 2010, the Joint Initiative has worked to ensure that the National Ocean Policy adequately protects, maintains, and restores the environmental and economic health of America's oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes. During this time, the Joint Initiative developed the Report Charting the Course: Securing the Future of America's Oceans, which provides four major recommendations on ocean policy. The Joint Initiative views these recommendations as an integral part of reforming ocean and coastal policy, improving ocean health, and bolstering the ocean economy for all citizens of the United States. All four of the policy priorities are incorporated in the work of the Leadership Council to promote effective and comprehensive national ocean policy.


Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

In 2014, the Joint Initiative launched a regional outreach strategy to inform the development of its latest report, the Ocean Action Agenda. This was done through a series of Regional Ocean Leadership Roundtables, convened on the East, West, and Gulf Coasts and in the U.S. Arctic. At these roundtables, the Joint Initiative heard from nonprofit, industry, and military leaders, as well as representatives from federal, state, local, and tribal entities, about regional priorities, challenges, and needs. Each Roundtable provided unique insights about important regional ocean and coastal priorities and needs, but they all underscored the importance of dedicated funding for ocean priorities, international cooperation and U.S. leadership on ocean issues, ocean science and research, infrastructure investments, and support for local, state, and regional efforts. The input gathered at these roundtables informed the development of the Ocean Action Agenda, which contains recommendations for the Trump Administration and 115th Congress.

Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

The Joint Initiative's recommendations were informed by input gathered at Regional Ocean Leadership Roundtables convened in the U.S. Arctic and East, West, and Gulf Coasts. At these roundtables, the Joint Initiative brought together more than 250 local, state, tribal, and national leaders representing diverse industry, government, and nonprofit interests to identify creative solutions to critical ocean and coastal issues. Input from these roundtables is also reflected in the Ocean Action Agenda's suite of narrative stories, which highlight the importance of the oceans and Great Lakes to the lives of all Americans.

Charting the Course: Securing the Future of America's Oceans

In June 2013, the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative released Charting the Course: Securing the Future of America's Oceans. The report recommends actions for the Administration and Congress that prioritize areas where short-term progress can be readily achieved. If implemented, these measures will strengthen ocean-dependent economies, protect coastal communities and provide new opportunities for growth in thriving oceans. The report highlights four major recommendations and provides details on how to implement them:

1. Enhance the resiliency of coastal communities and ocean ecosystems to dramatic changes underway in our oceans and on our coasts

  * The Administration and Congress should boost funding and support for programs that protect and restore critical coastal infrastructure.
  * The Administration and Congress should provide support for states and communities to upgrade critical coastal infrastructure, including wastewater and transportation systems.
  * The Administration and Congress should provide increased funding and support for ocean science infrastructure and research programs needed to understand the relationship between the oceans and climate and improve our forecasting capabilities.
  * The Administration and Congress should take actions to measure and assess the threat of ocean acidification and develop mechanisms to address the problem.

2. Promote ocean renewable energy development and reinvest in our oceans

  * The Administration and Congress should accelerate ocean renewable energy development by providing financial and tax incentives and a fair regulatory structure.
  * Congress should establish a dedicated ocean investment fund to invest a portion of revenues from offshore commercial energy activities to provide support for national, regional, state, and local programs working to manage ocean and coastal resources.

3. Support state and regional ocean and coastal priorities

  * The Administration and Congress should support multi-state regional ocean partnerships that coordinate data and decision making across jurisdictions, make progress on shared priorities, and more effectively engage ocean and coastal stakeholders.


Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

4. Improve Arctic research and management

  * Congress and the Administration should implement the National Strategy for the Arctic Region and ensure opportunities for public engagement.
  * Congress and the Administration should implement a coordinated scientific research program in the Arctic that is supported by strong ocean observation system and adequate infrastructure – including vessels, polar icebreakers, and fundamental platforms for research.
  * The Administration and Congress should increase funding for federal agencies operating in the region, particularly the United States Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
  * The U.S. Senate should consent to accede to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Changing Oceans Changing World

In April 2009, the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative released an urgent set of recommendations, Changing Oceans, Changing World: Ocean Priorities for the Administration and Congress.challenges of climate change, energy security and reviving the economy. The report identified the following policy priorities and specific actions for the president and Congress to take:

1. Improving Ocean and Coastal Policy and Management

  * The Administration and Congress should establish a national ocean policy.
  * Congress should codify and strengthen the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to enhance its mission, improve its structure.
  * The Administration and Congress should support regional, ecosystem-based approaches to the management of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes
  * Congress should strengthen and reauthorize the Coastal Zone Management Act.
  * Congress should strengthen the Clean Water Act.
  * The Administration should support expedited implementation of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, with Congress ensuring that NOAA has the necessary funding to implement the Act.
  * The Administration and Congress should actively encourage the use of innovative, science-based approaches that take into account important ecosystem dynamics that affect the health of our nation's marine ecosystems as a whole and, in particular, its fisheries.

2. Bolstering International Leadership


Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

2. Bolstering International Leadership

  * The United States Senate should provide its advice and consent to U.S. accession to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by the end of 2009.
  * The Administration should work to ensure that the Arctic Ocean is managed in a comprehensive, integrated, and science-based manner.
  * The Administration should implement a strong scientific research program in the Arctic.
  * The Administration should fully implement the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
  * The Administration and Congress should support ongoing U.S. efforts in the World Trade Organization negotiations calling for an end to fishing subsidies that promote overcapitalization and global depletion of fish stocks.

3. Strengthening Ocean Science

  * The Administration should strengthen and Congress should codify, where appropriate, the federal ocean science governance regime.
  * The Administration and Congress should enhance the integration of ocean and coastal science into the broader climate initiative.
  * The Administration and Congress should secure the availability of ocean-related information, products, and services critical to the operations of key sectors of the U.S. economy.
  * The Committee on Ocean Policy and the Office of Science and Technology Policy should take the lead in developing a comprehensive strategy to guide marine-related, ecosystem-focused research, assessment, and management.
  * The Administration should initiate an effort among governmental, academic, and private stakeholders engaged in ocean science to prioritize competing demands within the ocean and coastal science community.

4. Funding Ocean and Coastal Policies and Programs

  * The Administration and Congress should establish an Ocean Investment Fund, using resource rents generated by private commercial activities in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf.
  * A portion of any funds generated by the sale of carbon credits pursuant to a cap and trade or tax system should be dedicated to protecting, maintaining, and restoring ocean and coastal ecosystems, as well as promoting greater scientific understanding of the relationship between the oceans and climate change.
  * The Administration should develop an integrated federal coastal and ocean budget.

One Coast One Future


Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

One Coast One Future

In January 2009, the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative released its much anticipated report, One Coast, One Future: Securing the Health of West Coast Ecosystems and Economies.One Coast, One Future offers specific and immediate ways that local and state West Coast leaders can collaborate to implement a coordinated and more productive approach to managing the coast, as well as ways state legislatures and the federal government can support their efforts. The report urges these leaders to adapt and prepare for climate change impacts through an ecosystem-based approach that recognizes the interconnections among marine life, climate, local economies and the quality of human life. The report also acknowledges that many local West Coast communities currently face alternative energy proposals, and suggests ways that they can work with other communities, government agencies and developers to implement effective solutions to these pressing energy challenges. Recommendations in the report include the following:

  * Identify a coordination area and engage stakeholders in setting goals.
  * Understand and monitor ecosystem health.
  * Establish coordinating mechanisms to bring together all interested parties.
  * Make the land-sea connection.
  * Collect and integrate locally-relevant information to better inform decision -making.
  * Support integrated, ecosystem-based approaches, particularly at the local level.
  * Consider marine spatial planning.
  * Plan for climate change impacts at all levels of government.
  * Maintain or enhance funding for core coastal and ocean programs.
  * Send a clear message to Congress and the administration to fund and implement ocean protection measures.
  * Creatively consolidate or reallocate existing resources to take full advantage of funding sources.
  * Establish public-private partnerships for funding and in-kind resources.

From Sea to Shining Sea

In June 2006 the Joint Initiative released a national ocean policy action plan for Congress, From Sea to Shining Sea: Priorities for Ocean Policy Reform.U.S. Senators to provide a guide for legislative and funding priorities.

The action plan responds to the Senators’ request to identify the most urgent priorities for congressional action to implement the two Commissions’ recommendations. The plan outlines ten steps Congress should take to address the most pressing challenges, the highest funding priorities, and the most important changes to federal laws and the budget process to establish a more effective and integrated ocean policy. The report identified the following priorities:


Joint Ocean Commission Initiative

* Adopting a statement of national ocean policy that acknowledges in legislation the importance of oceans to the nation's economic and ecological health and establishes a framework for all other ocean legislation.
  * Establishing a strengthened National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in law and working with the Bush Administration to improve federal agency coordination on ocean and coastal issues;
  * Enacting legislation to create incentives for ecosystem-based management that builds upon existing and emerging regional efforts to involve federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, and academic institutions;
  * Reauthorizing an improved Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act that relies more strongly on science to guide management actions to ensure the long-term sustainability of U.S. fisheries;
  * Enacting ocean and coastal bills that have made significant progress through the legislative process in the 109th United States Congress;
  * Incorporating ocean-related science and education into the new national innovation and competitiveness initiative, capitalizing on the growing economic potential associated with our oceans and the attraction they hold for students;
  * Enacting legislation to authorize and fund the Integrated Ocean Observing System;
  * Acceding to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, allowing the U.S. to share its expertise, capitalize on economic opportunities, and protect is sovereign interests;
  * Establishing an Ocean Trust Fund in the U.S. Treasury as a dedicated source of funds for improved management and understanding of ocean and coastal resources by the federal and state governments; and
  * Securing additional funding to support management, science, and education programs that are the foundation of robust national ocean policy.

U.S. Ocean Policy Report Card

The Joint Initiative released a U.S. Ocean Policy Report Card for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2012 which monitored the nation's collective progress toward fulfilling the recommendations of the two Commissions’ reports and advancing ocean policy reform.United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

It is a continuing priority of the Joint Initiative Leadership Council to monitor and assess U.S. ocean policy.

Henri Rouvière

Henri Rouvière (23 December 1876 – 26 October 1952) was a professor of anatomy born in Le Bleymard, France.

He studied in Montpellier, receiving his medical doctorate in 1903. He later became a professor of anatomy and embryology at the University of Paris. Collège Henri Rouvière in his hometown of Le Bleymard is named in his honour.Musée d'Anatomie Delmas-Orfila-Rouvière in Paris.

Rouvière is remembered for his 1932 publication of "Anatomie des Lymphatiques de l'Homme" (translated into English in 1938 as "Anatomy of the Human Lymphatic System"),lymph nodes and their associated drainage regions. Rouvière's work was a continuation of the seminal research of the lymphatic system done by anatomist Marie Sappey (1810-1896).

Other significant writings by Rouvière are "Anatomie humaine descriptive, topographique et fonctionnelle", "Atlas aide-mémoire d'anatomie" and "L'anatomie humaine". "Anatomie humaine descriptive, topographique et fonctionnelle" is the adopted textbook in several well known medical schools, such as Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal.

The eponymous "node of Rouvière" (sometimes called "Rouvière node") features his name; this node is the most superior of the lateral group of the retropharyngeal lymph nodes, and is found at the base of the skull.

Barbarine

The Barbarine on the Pfaffenstein

The Barbarine is the best-known free-standing rock formation in the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It is a rock pinnacle, 42.7 metres (140 ft) high, and is the symbol of Saxon Switzerland. It was first climbed on 19 September 1905.

Location

The Barbarine belongs to the Pfaffenstein massif near the village of Pfaffendorf in the borough of Königstein.

Development for sport climbing

An ascent by the climber, Felix Wendschuh, on 9 September 1905 was the first documented attempt to climb the Barbarine. He climbed up to a point underneath the summit block, at least to the end of the crevice. The story that Keiler, the publican in Pfaffenstein, had forced him to turn around under threat, should probably be discounted. Keiler was a climber himself and would have had nothing against a climb, especially as those who first climbed it later left documentary evidence with him in the pub.

Postcard portraying the first ascent (with incorrect date: 8 April 1906)

On 19 September 1905 the Dresden climber, Rudolf Fehrmann, and the American, Oliver Perry-Smith, succeeded in becoming the first to conquer the Barbarine. They had climbed to just under the summit before midday, but were too tired to scale the last overhang on the summit head until later. Another route, on the valley side, was opened by Alfred Hermann on 8 July 1924.

Lightning strikes on the summit and progressive erosion rendered the upper part of the pinnacle increasingly unstable, so that in 1946 mountaineers poured concrete into the hollow. Due to the continued erosion, in 1964 further work was carried out; the summit block being underpinned and supported with steel cables. The broken summit block was protected from further erosion by a surrounding steel cable. Not until 1975 was a general ban on climbing the pinnacle imposed.

In 1979/80 the summit blocks were reinforced with sandstone. The upper block was given a cap of artificial sandstone and was treated with water-repellant chemicals. The geological natural monument is only climbed occasionally today – mainly by geologists and scientists who hope to avert further damage.

The legend of the Barbarine


Barbarine

The legend of the Barbarine

According to legend, the Barbarine is a petrified virgin, the "perpetual memorial of a punishment, according to which it so happened that a mother had told her daughter to go to church on Sunday, but during the service the daughter went up the Pfaffstein into the bilberries and when her mother found her there, she cursed her daughter in anger, pronouncing that she must be turned to stone on the spot; whereupon it happened in a moment, and therefore, this virgin turned to stone for ever warns all disobedient children with her stony appearance."''

Henri René Guieu

Henri René Guieu (19 March 1926 – 2 January 2000) was a French science fiction writer and ufologist, who published primarily with the pseudonym Jimmy Guieu. He occasionally used other pseudonyms as well, including Claude Vauzière for a young adult series, Jimmy G. Quint (with Georges Pierquin) for a number of espionage novels, Claude Rostaing for two detective novels and Dominique Verseau for six erotic novels.

Overview

Guieu was one of the authors published by Fleuve Noir company's Anticipation science fiction imprint.

His first novel, Le Pionnier de l'Atome [The Pioneer of the Atom] (1952), concerned a journey into the microcosmos through psychic powers. With his second novel, Au-delà de l'Infini [Beyond Infinity] (1952), Guieu introduced the character of American biologist Jerry Barclay and reversed the theme. This time, it was our universe that was a microcosmos contained within the knee of a beautiful woman from a macrocosmos. Guieu continued the Jerry Barclay series for three more books.

With La Dimension X [Dimension X] (1953) and Nous les Martiens [We The Martians] (1954), Guieu introduced a new hero: archeologist Jean Kariven. In the Kariven series, Guieu began to explore his favorite themes such as UFOs, close encounters, Erich Von Däniken-like theories of ancient astronauts, secret societies, lost civilizations and occult conspiracies. Throughout his novels he featured footnotes claiming that the various facts upon which he was basing his tales were indeed "authentic". In Nous les Martiens [We The Martians], Kariven discovers that, during the remote past, men had emigrated to Earth from Mars. Eight more Kariven novels were published subsequently, often pitting good aliens from Polaris versus evil aliens from Deneb with Earth secretly caught in the middle. Univers Parallèles [Parallel Universes] featured a crossover with Jerry Barclay.


Henri René Guieu

Guieu continued to exploit his UFO and occult theme with increasing success. After the Kariven series, he published a number of novels unrelated to each other, except for two that featured a team of American investigative reporters, Ericksson and Wendell: Les Monstres du Néant [The Monsters From The Void] (1956) and Les Êtres de Feu [The Beings of Fire] (1956).

He also wrote two non-fiction books about UFOs, one of the first published into the story of ufology, Les Soucoupes Volantes viennent d'un Autre Monde [The Flying Saucers Come From Another World] and Black-Out sur les Soucoupes Volantes [Black-Out on the Flying Saucers], the latter prefaced by Jean Cocteau, and by the 1970s, had become a major French ufologist.

Simultaneously, Guieu began to chronicle the exploits of two daring space traders, Blade and Baker. The series began with Les Forbans de l'Espace [The Space Pirates] (1963).

During 1967, with Le Retour des Dieux [The Return of the Gods], Guieu revamped the Kariven character into that of journalist Gilles Novak who, with the help of his girl-friend Régine Véran, and various friends and allies, often real-life friends of Guieu or thinly-disguised real-life figures, fought against would-be tyrants, communists, terrorists, drug cartels and various alien menaces. Novak was helped in his struggles by Michael Merkavim, the commander of a new, powerful Order of Knights Templar, equipped with futuristic weapons and based in a parallel universe. Merkavim was introduced in Les Sept Sceaux du Cosmos [The Seven Seals of the Cosmos] (1968) and L'Ordre Vert [The Green Order] (1969). The theme was later developed as the Les Chevaliers de Lumière ("The Knights of Light") sub-series.


Henri René Guieu

Guieu was granted his own imprint during 1979. At first, it reprinted rewritten, updated versions of his original novels, then it began publishing a series of "sharecropping" novels, featuring Gilles Novak, Blade and Baker, Jean Kariven, etc., written by other writers, mostly Roland C. Wagner, but also Philippe Randa, Nicolas Gauthier and Laurent Genefort.

During the early 1990s, Jimmy Guieu wrote two docu-dramas, using as plot the Grey aliens / Majestic-12 conspiracy as described by John Lear and Milton William Cooper : the series "E.B.E." (for "Extraterrestrial Biological Entity") : E.B.E. : Alerte rouge (first part) (1990) and E.B.E. : L'entité noire d'Andamooka (second part) (1991).

Double scull

Double scull icon

Double scull

A contrasting coxless pair, with one oar per rower

A double scull, also abbreviated as a 2x, is a rowing boat used in the sport of competitive rowing. It is designed for two persons who propel the boat by sculling with two oars each, one in each hand.

Racing boats (often called "shells") are long, narrow, and broadly semicircular in cross-section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) for strength and weight advantages. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat.

Double sculls is one of the classes recognized by the International Rowing Federation and the Olympics.

In contrast to the combination of the coxed pair, in which the distribution of the riggers means the forces are staggered alternately along the boat, the symmetrical forces in sculling make the boat more efficient and so the double scull is faster than the coxless pair.

A double sculling skiff has a similar layout to a double scull and is rowed in a similar way, but usually has a cox as well as two rowers. It is clinker built with fixed seats and thole pins and can be skiffed for leisure purposes or for the sport of skiff racing.

Bill Kinnerk

William Kinnerk (14 November 1907 – 6 September 1983) was an Irish Gaelic footballer and local politician. At club level he played with the John Mitchels club and was an All-Ireland Championship medallist with the Kerry senior football team.

Playing career

Born in Tralee, Kinnerk first played competitive Gaelic football with Tralee Technical School. After lining out with a number of local clubs, he joined John Mitchels and claimed his first Kerry Senior Football Championship medal in his debut year in 1929. He claimed a second county medal as team captain in 1937. Kinnerk first joined the Kerry senior football team in 1932 and ended the year by winning his first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal as a substitute. He broke onto the starting fifteen the following year, and was a regular member of the team until his retirement after a tour of the United States in 1939. During that time Kinnerk won five Munster Championship medals as well as claiming an All-Ireland medal on the field of play in 1937.

Arm MAP

Arm MAP, is an application profiler produced by Allinea Software now part of Arm.Warwick, United Kingdom, for profiling the performance of C, C++, Fortran 90 and Python software. It is widely used for its multithreaded and multiprocess capabilities such as profiling parallel Message Passing Interface (MPI) or OpenMP applications, including those running on clusters of Linux machines, and for scalar (sequential) code.

Profiler

It is one of the first profilers able to both analyze and visually display the performance when running at high scales (including many thousands of cores). Arm MAP is also being used to examine applications that are preparing to scale to 1 ExaFLOP/s

The profiler uses adaptive sampling methods to identify process counters and activities and combines data from multiple processes that may be running on multiple compute server nodes. It analyzes performance and causes of bottlenecks including:

  * Processor instruction level - identifying issues such as memory bandwidth, or lack of floating-point vectorization
  * Memory usage
  * I/O
  * Communication - such as MPI
  * Threads
  * Energy usage and power

This enables developers to identify hotspots and areas of potential improvement.

The tool is scalable - and merges performance data using the scalable architecture first used in Arm DDT to debug Petascale (typically over 100,000 processes). Arm MAP shares a common user interface with Arm DDT which together makes the Arm Forge tool suite. This is widely used by research scientists and developers of parallel scientific applications.

The Arm MAP profiler is used on large supercomputers and also smaller clusters or workstations. Sites with installations include National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), University of Cambridge and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Charles Ludlow

Charles Ludlow (1790 – 1839) was an officer in the United States Navy during the War of 1812. He served in 1807 as a Lieutenant in USS Vixen, then in USS Constitution in the Mediterranean theater. Just before the War of 1812 broke out Captain Ludlow was the commandant on USS President, the flagship of Commodore John Rodgers which patrolled the northern seaboard from British naval attacks on American merchant vessels.

Just after the War of 1812 broke out Ludlow received orders from Commodore William Bainbridge to take USS John Adams from Boston to New York for repairs. After a trial at sea and an inspection he concluded that John Adams was only fit to be a merchant ship.

Ludlow died at New Windsor, New York.

They finished in the top ten at eight ISU Championships. Their best continental result, fourth, came at the 1970 European Championships in Leningrad, Soviet Union. They finished as high as sixth at the World Championships, in 1969 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States) and 1970 (Ljubljana, Yugoslavia).

Baier/Rüger started their career at SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt. In 1963, they began representing SC Karl-Marx-Stadt.

Rüger was married to German figure skater Gabriele Seyfert from 1972 to 1975.

Henri Roland Lancelot Turpin de Crissé

Henri-Roland-Lancelot, marquis Turpin de Crissé (19 May 1754 - c.1800) was a French army officer and amateur painter, most notable for his landscapes and architectural studies. He was born in Paris and married the painter Émilie-Sophie de Montullé.

When the French Revolution broke out he was dismissed from his commission. To try to survive he bought new buildings in 1792 and tried to set up a factory to produce English-style faience. However, in 1793 he was forced to sell this and all his property to fund his escape to Britain. He then sailed from there to the US in 1794 and died completely bankrupt in Philadelphia around 1800.

Bill Kini

William George Kini (9 July 1937 – 30 August 2012) was a New Zealand heavyweight boxer and rugby union prop. He won a gold medal for boxing at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games and placed second in the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.

Biography

Kini was born in Winton in 1937. Of Ngāi Tahu descent, he was educated at Southland Technical College in Invercargill.

He won the first of his seven New Zealand heavyweight boxing titles in 1959.1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games he won the silver medal in the 81–91 kg (heavyweight) division.

In the early 1960s, Kini played prop for the Otahuhu rugby team in the Auckland club competition, winning the Gallaher Shield four times. He also captained the Auckland Māori rugby team.

Kini and his family moved to Whangārei in 1980. He was the strapper and masseur for the Northland rugby team for 11 years until 2003.

He was inducted into the New Zealand Māori Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

Kini died in Whangārei in 2012, as a result of complications from a cancerous tumour on his spine.


Joint Precision Airdrop System

Illustration of how multiple airdrops with multiple drop zones, given they are within 25 miles of each other, can be accomplished at once using JPADS

The Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) is an American military airdrop system which uses the Global Positioning System (GPS), steerable parachutes, and an onboard computer to steer loads to a designated point of impact (PI) on a drop zone (DZ). The JPADS family of systems consists of several precision airdrop systems, ranging from extra light to heavy payloads. JPADS is used in conjunction with mission planning software that resides on a laptop. The function of this mission planning software includes computing release points, weather forecasting, acquiring measurements of wind velocity, altitude, air pressure, and temperature. It can also receive weather updates and en route mission changes through satellite links.

History

Early JPADS equipment testing

U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) was the primary developer for JPADS, which meets several requirements: increased ground accuracy, standoff delivery, increased air carrier survivability, and improved effectiveness/assessment feedback regarding airdrop mission operations. The U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force began jointly developing this system in 1993. The U.S. Air Force made its first operational/combat use of the system in Afghanistan in 2006.

Operation

An officer programs a JPADS bundle with drop coordinates in preparation for a resupply mission

The steerable parachute or parafoil is called a "decelerator," and gives the JPADS system directional control throughout its descent by means of decelerator steering lines attached to the Autonomous Guidance Unit (AGU). They create drag on either side of the decelerator, which turns the parachute, thus achieving directional control.

The AGU contains a GPS, a battery pack, and the guidance, navigation and control (GN&C) software package. It also houses the hardware required to operate the steering lines. The AGU obtains its position prior to exiting the aircraft, and continues to calculate its position via the GPS throughout descent.

The Mission Planner software gives the aircrew the ability to plan the mission, in flight if necessary, as well as steer the aircraft to its Computed Air Release Point (CARP), where the load is released.


Joint Precision Airdrop System

Increments

JPADS involves four increments, categorized by the weight of the cargo to be dropped:

Increment I: JPADS-2K / applies to loads up to 2,200 lb / classified as the “extra light” category / commensurate with Container Delivery System (CDS) bundles.

Increment II: JPADS-10K / applies to loads up to 10,000 lb.

Increment III: JPADS-30K / applies to loads up to 30,000 lb.

Increment IV: JPADS-60K / applies to loads up to 60,000 lb.

Accuracy

JPADS is reported to be accurate to 50–75 metres (164–246 ft), drastically reduces drop zone size requirements; significantly increasing the number of locations which can be used as a drop zone. This reduces both the risk of hostile fire to aircraft and aircrews and the amount of cargo that misses a drop zone.

Benefits

JPADS offers several main benefits, including an increase in the number of available drop zones and an increase in the cargo's precision, which benefits the user. JPADS also increases the survivability of the delivery aircraft and its crew.

Ground Accuracy

Current drop zones are quite large; 600 yd (549 m) or more. Airdropping sequential loads (multiple loads aboard a single aircraft) requires very long drop zones on the order of 0.5 mi (0.8 km) or more, or else the aircraft must make multiple passes over the same area, a tactically unsound thing to do. Furthermore, achieving a high degree of accuracy (less than 100 yd (91 m)) requires the aircraft to fly at the lowest altitude possible, which can range from 400 ft (122 m) above ground level to as high as 1,500 ft (457 m), depending on the altitude of the drop zone, the weight of the load, and the number and type of parachutes required.


Joint Precision Airdrop System

JPADs can achieve the same or better accuracy from greater heights, allowing the aircraft to drop the load at a much higher, and usually safer, altitude.

Standoff Delivery

Because JPADS allows the aircraft to drop at high-altitude, the aircraft can actually drop the load a good distance away from the drop zone, which affords the aircrew to remain free of enemy threats which may be near the area where the load is being dropped.

Survivability

Airdrops are usually performed at slow speeds for an aircraft, usually 130 kts for paratroopers and 140 kts for cargo. When combined with the low altitude required for precision, the aircraft are vulnerable to enemy ground fire. With JPADS, the aircraft is much more likely to survive, as it can drop at a much higher altitude, above most enemy ground fire.

Feedback

Because the system can transmit its current position back to the airdrop aircraft, it provides its exact landing location which the aircrew can then transmit to ground forces which may not have arrived at the drop zone.

The Joint Norwegian–Russian Fisheries Commission is a bilateral fisheries management body run by Norway and Russia to control Barents Sea fishing, established in 1976.

During the Soviet Era, the main issues were quotas (for the three major fish stocks defined as joint stocks: cod (50%-50%), haddock (50%-50%), and capelin (60%-40% in favour of Norway), fish size and mesh size.

In 1993 the scope of the Commission included the compliance control, including exchange of catch data and inspections and coordination of various activities. This happened after it was revealed that after the dissolution of the Soviet Union Russian fishing vessels started delivering their catch to Norway rather than to Russia. However the catch data exchange failed to serve its purpose since late 1990s when Russian ships started to hand the frozen fish to transport ships heading to third countries.

With end of the Cold War the work of the Commission included long-term strategies for the fish stock in the Barents Sea.

Arm recoil

Arm recoil is a neurological examination of neonate for detecting the muscle tone.

Procedure

The baby is placed supine, with forearm flexed at elbow. The elbow (forearm) is extended by pulling the hand; then released.

Observation

How quickly the forearm returns to flexed original position and the amount of flexion will designate a score.

  * Grade 0: Arms remain extended 180 degrees or abnormal movements begin
  * Grade 1: Minimal flexion, 140-180 degrees
  * Grade 2: Slight flexion, 110-140 degrees
  * Grade 3: Moderate flexion, 90-110 degrees
  * Grade 4: Quick return to full flexion, less than 90 degrees

Conclusions

The greater the tone development (flexor tone), the brisker the recoil will be.Ballard Scale.

Leg recoil can be assessed following the same principle.


Araquari

Araquari is a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina in the South region of Brazil.

The municipality of Araquari was basically colonized by Azorean immigrants, who arrived at the coast of Santa Catarina between 1748 and 1756, and since then, the Azorean culture rooted up and walked hand in hand with the most diverse cultures, as with the Indigenous peoples in Brazil and Africans, both important in this region thus creating a cultural and religious mosaic.

Like many coastal cities Araquari has its founding myth linked to the European occupation process in America, in the first phase of the age of discoveries. According to information from the municipal Department of Culture the European foundation of Araquari is set 40 years after the discovery of Brazil in 1500.

The Spanish navigator Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca landed what is now Barra Velha and encouraged the exploration of the northern region, until then inhabited by Indios. The expedition consisted of 250 men, 40 horses, some slaves and indoctrinated group of Indios by the Jesuits. A month later, they came what they called first Paranaguá Mirim, ("small cove") in Tupi-Guarani.

In 1658, the first Portuguese pioneers settled in the region inhabited by Carijós, but the actual foundation of the town only happened in 1848, when a Portuguese ship arrived in Paraty under the command of Manuel Vieira de Albuquerque Touvar, who founded a small colony. Another pioneer, Joaquim da Rocha Coutinho, joined him and the two decided to found a village, but failed to reach an agreement on the site.

The Judge of the District of São Francisco ruled in favor of Rocha Coutinho who built homes on the banks of the river Parati, surrounding pastures and crops. Both are considered to be the founders of the parish Senhor Bom Jesus do Paraty (Good Lord Jesus of Paraty) in 1854, but still part of the municipality of São Francisco do Sul.

The town is home of a BMW automobile plant since October 2014 when the first BMW 328i ActiveFlex car was assembled. Over the course of the next few years, more than EUR 200 million will be invested in the plant, resulting in a production capacity of more than 30,000 vehicles annually. The BMW 328i ActiveFlex car is a flex fuel version of BMW 3 series specifically designed for the Brazilian market, which allows the vehicle to run on any blend of gasoline and ethanol up to E100 ethanol.

Château de Germolles

General view of the Château de Germolles

Château de Germolles is situated in Burgundy, now part of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 11 km west of Chalon-sur-Saône, 30 km south of Beaune, and 135 km north of Lyon. It is the best preserved residence of the Dukes of Burgundy. Built during the second part of the 14th century, this château is important for the history of the region. Furthermore, it is a rare example of such a well-preserved residence in France in the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries, when most of the princely palaces of that period have almost entirely disappeared. This exceptional site evokes court life in France on the eve of the Renaissance.

It has been listed as a Historic monument since 1989.

History

The cellar (13th century)

Origins: the stronghold of the seigneurs of Germolles

The site of Germolles was occupied from the 13th century by a stronghold built by the local feudal lords of the manor: the seigneurs of Germolles. In the 2nd half of the 14th century, their financial situation was so critical that they had to sell the domain of Germolles which was purchased by the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold. We know very little about the appearance of the fortress of the lords of Germolles. It certainly had large towers and solid walls with only a few windows. All that remains of the original building are the lower chapel and the wine cellar.

Country estate of Philip the Bold and Margaret of Flanders

The fireplace of the reception room (14th century) moved in the 20th century to the great hall of the château

In 1380, Philip the Bold (first Duke of Burgundy of the new royal Valois dynasty in France, after the Capetian dynasty came to an end) purchased the domain of Germolles. After one year, he gave it to his wife, the Duchess Margaret of Flanders. Important and expensive transformations were immediately undertaken by her. They lasted for the next ten years.Jean de Marville and Claus Sluter, and the painter Jean de Beaumetz. These artists worked at the same time on another important project of the Duke: the chartreuse de Champmol.


Château de Germolles

The residence was slowly transformed into a sumptuous country estate. The large rectangular building, surrounded by a moat, enclosed a courtyard. The apartments were situated in the south and east wings, while the west wing contained receptions rooms, and the north wing was for the guards and security staff. The Duchess of Burgundy, who was energetic and a country lover, decided to develop at Germolles some rustic activities that would create a pleasant environment around her favourite residence, as well as developing local agriculture and providing some income for the maintenance of the domain. So she planted a large rose garden, and the petals were sent to Flanders to be used to make rose water. Similarly, a model sheepfold was built that reflected not only the Duchess's interest in sheep, but also the important contribution of that animal, through its wool, to the fortune of Flanders, in Burgundy.

The main building from the north (14th century)

King Charles VI of France was received at Germolles on 12 February 1389, at the invitation of his aunt and uncle.

After the ducal period

After Philip the Bold and Margaret of Flanders, the château belonged to the following three Dukes of Burgundy : John the Fearless, Philip the Good and Charles the Bold. After the death of Charles the Bold in Nancy in 1477, the château became a possession of the King of France. Used by various families courtesy of the King until the end of the 18th century, the château was sold to the Nation after the French Revolution. Different kinds of destruction, voluntary or accidental, due in particular to the lack of maintenance, led to the loss of certain parts of the building. The château was purchased at the end of the 19th century by the same family who still own it. Today it is open to visitors throughout most of the year, and a programme of cultural events takes place annually.

Description

Remains of the original fortress

Two elements date from the first period of Germolles (13th century). They are still conserved because they were integrated into the project of transformation in a ducal palace. The large wine cellar used for the storage of wine and food has conserved its medieval appearance with modern gothic next to traditional Burgundian romanesque elements. The lower chapel has similar architecture but has sculptured decoration with both romanesque reliefs and gothic foliage.
