  • 80-93 a Study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East
    Author version: Man Environ., vol.40(2); 2015; 80-93 A study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East coast of India Sila Tripati Marine Archaeology Centre CSIR- National Institute of Oceanography Dona Paula, Goa 403 004 Email: [email protected] Abstract It is generally believed that there were seafarers before there were farmers and potters. Man must have used some kind of craft to cross the rivers, seas, bays for collection of food during prehistoric time onwards if not earlier. With regard to the earliest voyages, it is believed that these were made around 60,000 years ago when the sea level was lower and people would have used floats or rafts for the purpose. After many centuries different types of traditional boats were constructed and used for maritime trade, fishing, warfare, etc. Indian epics and regional literature mention different types of vessels and their use and the vessels used in the seas, rivers and lakes are different in their construction, shape and size. Like other littoral states of India, references to a good number of traditional boats of Odisha are found in the contemporary literature namely Pota (dug out), Nauka, Bhela, Chapa and Padhua. There are some traditional boats, for instance teppa, padhua, nauka and patia, which are still in use and built along the Odisha Coast. The present paper details construction techniques of traditional boats of Odisha, their usages, difference between the traditional boats of Odisha and those on other parts of the east coast of India and navigational technology. Keywords: Traditional boats, Navigation, Maritime trade, Odisha, East coast of India 1 Introduction The history of boatbuilding is as old as the relationship between man and the sea.

    Malta SHORT Pierre Sammut ARTICLEST he Influence of the - Knights of the Order THINK of St. John on Malta CULTURE Due to its geographical position at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean, Malta has wit- nessed many different influences. In Ancient times, it attracted the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginian and the Romans, then other con- querors including the Arabs, Normans, Ara- gonese and the Crusaders, the French and the British. But one of the most fascinating pe- riods of Maltese history remains to this very day the period governed by the Knights Hos- pitaller, better known as the Order of St. John, who governed the islands from 1530 to the end of the 18th century, when the French un- der Commander Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta. Prehistoric Temples and Majestic Palaces from different periods are unique landmarks. The Knights in particular left their marks on vario- us aspects of Maltese culture, in particular the language, buildings and literature. Their period is often referred to as Malta's Golden Age, as a result of the architectural and artistic embel- lishment and as a result of advances in the overall health, education and prosperity of the local population. Music, literature, theatre as well as visual arts all flourished in this period, which also saw the foundation and develop- ment of many of the Renaissance and Baro- que towns and villages, palaces and gardens, tomy and Surgery was established by Grand the most notable being the capital city, Valletta, Master Fra Nicolau Cotoner I d'Olesa at the one of several built and fortified by the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta, in 1676.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.

  • United States Virgin Islands Territorial Hazard Mitigation Plan Final, July 2019
    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in implementing the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, initiated far-reaching programs and policies that affected the approach to emergency management of every level of government. The legislation reinforces the importance of hazard mitigation planning and assigns specific responsibilities to state governments, which also apply to its territories such as the US Virgin Islands. The underlying purpose of the United States Virgin Islands Territorial Hazard Mitigation Plan is to identify strategies and actions that can be taken before a disaster strikes, and that can significantly reduce human suffering, damage to property, and the long- term economic impact of natural hazards. In September 2017, an unprecedented event occurred were two catastrophic Category 5 hurricanes tore through the US Virgin Islands within 14 days of each other. The storms crippled the Territory, destroying communications, power grid, and other infrastructures. Homes and businesses were demolished beyond repair. As the territory rebuilds, Hazard and Risk Assessments have been analyzed to determine the adequate Mitigative Efforts to prevent similar destruction from happening again with future storms. Capacity building and collaborative community efforts have also been incorporated into the plan update, which would create initiatives where the Territory would be able to be ultimately self-sustainable. States and territories are required to prepare and submit a mitigation plan and then review and update the plan on a five-year planning cycle The Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA) has established a Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee to provide oversight and assist in the Plan Update process. See pages 1-8 as examples, which provide an overview.
