Twenty-six and a half per cent of the Indonesian Gross National Product was derived from the utilisation of coastal and marine resources in 2002.1 Fish and other marine resources make a significant contribution ot the supply of food, employment, and foreign exchange. More than 60% of animal protein consumed by the population is derived from the fisheries sector; and per capita consumption was estimated to be 21.7 kg per year in 2002.2 Employment in the primary fishing sector was roughly 1,805,470 people; and exports exceeded imports by just over US$ 1.6 million in 2000.3 The aim of this paper is to address problems of maritime law enforcement and compliance in Indonesia with particular reference to the management of marine and coastal resources, especially coral reefs.

    Semaphore Sea Power Centre - Australia Issue 8, 2017 the Royal Australian Navy on the Silver Screen

    SEMAPHORE SEA POWER CENTRE - AUSTRALIA ISSUE 8, 2017 THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY ON THE SILVER SCREEN In this day and age, technologies such as smart phones and tablets allow users to film and view video streams on almost any topic imaginable at the convenience of their fingertips. Indeed, most institutions, including the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), promote video streaming as part of carefully coordinated public relations, recruiting and social media programs. In yesteryear, however, this was not a simple process and the creation and screening of news reels, motion pictures and training films was a costly and time consuming endeavor for all concerned. Notwithstanding that, the RAN has enjoyed an ongoing presence on the silver screen, television and more recently the internet on its voyage from silent pictures to the technologically advanced, digital 21st century. The RAN’s earliest appearances in motion pictures occurred during World War 1. The first of these films was Sea Dogs of Australia, a silent picture about an Australian naval officer blackmailed into helping a foreign spy. The film’s public release in August 1914 coincided with the outbreak of war and it was consequently withdrawn after the Minister for Defence expressed security concerns over film footage taken on board the battlecruiser HMAS Australia (I). There was, however, an apparent change of heart following the victory of HMAS Sydney (I) over the German cruiser SMS Emden in November 1914. Australia’s first naval victory at sea proved big news around the globe The Art Brand Productions - The Raider Emden. and it did not take long before several short, silent propaganda films were produced depicting the action.

Published October 2018 For Ward W. Briggs, Jr., Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Meyer Reinhold and Cornel West, my friends and teachers. Introduction Many of us remain unaware that among the members of the American Philological Association (Society for Classical Studies since 2014) during the latter half of the nine- teenth century were people of African and African American descent, for little or noth- ing had been written about them before the American Philological Association published my pamphlet, The First Three African American Members of the American Philological Association in 2001. We have, however, understood for some time that Americans from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth century were engaged in heated argu- ments about the appropriate type of education needed by Americans in general, and particularly over the needs of the newly-freed slaves after the Civil War. What we had not yet realized was that these were also concerns among members of the black diasporic community itself, which understood that the study of ancient Greek and Latin had long been the intellectual standard

    Lost Villages of the Eastern Aleutians

    Chapter 14 The Agony of Makushin fter she arrived at Unalaska for medical treatment in the fall of 1935, Annie Olsen informed authorities that Pete Olsen had been molesting A her for five years. She was seventeen. Tatiana Olsen corroborated her adopted daughter’s affidavit and on September 6, 1935, Olsen was brought to Unalaska by the U.S. deputy marshal on a charge of rape. When the women appeared in court, however, they reversed their testimony, and the case against him was dismissed for insufficient evidence. Court officials considered conducting an investigation to determine if the women had perjured themselves. Annie returned to Makushin with her mother and, less than a year later, on June 19, 1936, she died at the age of eighteen. She was buried near the church. “What there was done to me in Sept. 1935,” Olsen wrote bitterly five years later, referring to those who had instigated and pursued the case, “is not forgotten and never will be.”1 By the mid-1930s, Elia Borenin had been selected as village chief. Akenfa Galaktionoff was second chief.2 Men continued traveling to the Pribilof Islands each June to work in the seal harvest. This meant that Olsen had to shear his sheep earlier than he might have wished. He confessed to the manager of the sheep ranch at Chernofski that he wasn’t much of sheep man. Nevertheless, he steadily increased the size of his herd, ran more fencing and experimented with local and imported grass for feed. He traded rams and ewes with the much larger ranch at Chernofski.
