We reviewed previously published historical records of the piping-guan and compiled reports from local residents and visiting birders. The piping-guan formerly occurred throughout much of Trinidad at all elevations, except perhaps along the west coast. Currently it is most abundant in the eastern half of the Northern Range, where considerable forest habitat remains, yet it remains rare and local. A few piping-guans may persist in forested areas of southern Trinidad, where the species was last reported in 2000. It may be extirpated in central Trinidad, where it was last reported in 1983. Hunting is clearly the major threat but appears to have declined in the past decade, at least in the Northern Range, due to recent public education campaigns. Recent sightings in areas where the piping-guan had previously not been reported for a century suggest a growing population in the Northern Range. -

Weekends in Wales The Alpine Club Obituary Year of Election and day trips to Matlock and the (including to ACG) Roaches became the foundation for extended expeditions to the Ralph Atkinson 1997 Alps including, in 1991, a fine Una Bishop 1982 six-day ski traverse of the Haute John Chadwick 1978 Route, Argentière to Zermatt, John Clegg 1955 and ascents in 1993 of the Mönch Dennis Davis 1977 and Jungfrau.

Stephanie Roberts 2011 I recall long journeys by car enlivened by his wide-ranging taste in music. Les Swindin 1979 The keynote of many outings was his sense of fun. There were long stories, John Tyson 1952 jokes or pithy one-liners. -

DNPA's Detailed Responses to Comments
Dartmoor National Park Authority Local Plan Review 2018 - 2036 Full report on Regulation 19 representations (by respondent) Respondent Number: 0002 Name: John Penny Organisation: Devon Stone Federation On behalf of: Rep Number: 7 Local Plan Section: 1 Paragraph / Policy: Strategy Is the Local Plan sound?: Yes Is the Local Plan legally compliant?: No Is the Local Plan compliant with the duty to co-operate?: Yes Hearing session(s)?: Yes, I wish to participate in hearing session(s) Why?: to ensure the Plan is consistent with national policy Did respondent comment on Reg 18 Local Plan?: Yes Detail of Representation: plan needs to be consistent with national policy Modifications necessary: The paragraph states "Major development will not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". The use of the word 'will' is not appropriate and does not reflect the definition given on page 9 under "Understanding the Local Plan". The sentence about Major development is supposed to reflect para 172 of the NPPF 2018. This uses the word 'should', as in "Planning permission should be refused for major development other than in exceptional circumstances". Therefore, the sentence in the Local Plan should be changed to: "Major development should not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". We suggest that the use of the word 'will' is reviewed elsewhere in the Draft Local Plan. Authority response: The wording is considered consistent with the NPPF, ‘should’ in the NPPF allows local policy a degree of flexibility in the application of the policy and the possibility of introducing other criteria which could allow major development to occur in a National Park, other than the exceptional circumstances stated in NPPF para 172. -

Blue-Sky Eruptions, Do They Exist? Implications for Monitoring New
Blue‐sky eruptions, do they exist? Implications for monitoring New Zealand’s volcanoes. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Disaster and Hazard Management at the University of Canterbury by Angela Louise Doherty University of Canterbury 2009 Frontispiece “What are the odds, right?” “Before it happened it would have said slim, but since it did happen I would say 100%...” Dr Ray Langston replying to Catherine Willows (played by Lawrence Fishburne and Marg Helgenberger – CSI: Crime Scene Investigation). Lahar following the September 2007 eruption of Ruapehu (photo: GNS Science). Abstract The term “blue‐sky eruption” (BSE) can be used to describe eruptions which are unexpected or have no detected precursory activity. Case study analyses indicate that they have a diverse range of characteristics and magnitudes, providing both direct and indirect hazards and occur in both under‐developed and developed countries. BSEs can be a result of physical triggers (e.g. the lack of physically detectable precursors or a lack of understanding of the eruption model of the volcano), social triggers (such as an inadequate monitoring network), or a combination of the two. As the science of eruption forecasting is still relatively young, and the variations between individual volcanoes and individual eruptions are so great, there is no effective general model and none should be applied in the absence of a site‐specific model. Similarly, as methods vary between monitoring agencies, there are no monitoring benchmarks for effective BSE forecasting. However a combination of seismic and gas emission monitoring may be the most effective. -
