    BULLETIN PRESIDENT TREASURER EDITOR John Bachochin Loren Moore Mike Prero 15731 S. 4210 Rd., POB 1181 12659 Eckard Way Claremore, OK 74017 Roseville, CA 95678 Auburn,CA 95603 918-342-0710 916-783-6822 530-906-4705 No. 344 ALL DUES DUE APRIL 1st September 2013 by Mike Prero You may not be into collecting Military as a category in itself, but here‘s a related category that you might wish to consider. It has a lot to offer. Military logos are usually quite colorful and attractive; there is a lot of history connected with each unit represented; and logo ―formats‖ run from crests to cartoon characters and everything in between. You‘ve certainly got a wide variety of covers to work with here. You‘ll run across logos for individual units ranging in size from companies to entire armies, individual ships to naval groups, squadrons, air wings, and more. Then there are the logos for the different branches within branches. For example, within the Army, you‘d find logos for Army Air Corps, Military Police, Infantry, Armor, Rangers, etc...even bands! Then there are the logos for the various bases, forts, arsenals, air stations, naval stations, and the list goes on. Of course, you‘ll find basic branch logos for Army, Navy Air Force, Marines, and the like. And....you‘re certainly not limited to just the U.S. Military. You can find a very nice selection within Canadian Military covers, as well, and the Armed Forces of other countries around the world are fair game, too! Realistically, however, most collectors would really only have access to to U.S.
  • Deepsea Coral Statement

    Deepsea Coral Statement

    Scientists’ Statement on Protecting the World’s Deep-Sea Coral and Sponge Ecosystems As marine scientists and conservation biologists, we are profoundly concerned that human activities, particularly bottom trawling, are causing unprecedented damage to the deep-sea coral and sponge communities on continental plateaus and slopes, and on seamounts and mid-ocean ridges. Shallow-water coral reefs are sometimes called “the rainforests of the sea” for their extraordinary biological diversity, perhaps the highest anywhere on Earth. However, until quite recently, few people—even marine scientists—knew that the majority of coral species live in colder, darker depths, or that some of these form coral reefs and forests similar to those of shallow waters in appearance, species richness and importance to fisheries. Lophelia coral reefs in cold waters of the Northeast Atlantic have over 1,300 species of invertebrates, and over 850 species of macro- and megafauna were recently found on seamounts in the Tasman and Coral Seas, as many as in a shallow-water coral reef. Because seamounts are essentially undersea islands, many seamount species are endemics—species that occur nowhere else—and are therefore exceptionally vulnerable to extinction. Moreover, marine scientists have observed large numbers of commercially important but increasingly uncommon groupers and redfish among the sheltering structures of deep-sea coral reefs. Finally, because of their longevity, some deep-sea corals can serve as archives of past climate conditions that are important to understanding global climate change. In short, based on current knowledge, deep-sea coral and sponge communities appear to be as important to the biodiversity of the oceans and the sustainability of fisheries as their analogues in shallow tropical seas.

    An Analysis of Cruise Supply Chain Management in European Region: the Outsourcing Decision Making of Food and Beverage Department

    Center for Maritime Economics and Logistics (MEL) Erasmus University Rotterdam MSc in Maritime Economics and Logistics 2011/2012 An Analysis of Cruise Supply Chain Management in European Region: The Outsourcing Decision Making of Food and Beverage Department by Christos Tsourakis copyright © Christos Tsourakis Center for Maritime Economics and Logistics (MEL) Acknowledgements It is with respect and gratitude that I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Rommert Dekker, for his guidance and support throughout the entire writing of this thesis. Especially, the weekly discussions before I leave for my internship were very beneficial. Many thanks to Mr. Nikos and Mr. Raffaele who gave me the opportunity to make my internship on a brilliant and well organized cruise ship. It was a great opportunity for me to deeper understand the industry, by having an insight view of all information and physical flows that involved in the cruise supply chain. I like to take the opportunity to thank all the crewmembers and officers who provided me data and time for making my research. A deep appreciation is expressed to all participants around the Europe who took part in my research including, companies' supply chain managers, logistics providers, port agents, ship chandlers and the crew members of thirteen cruise liners in Port of Piraeus. There were all very welcomed to provide me information for their operations and strategies, fact that helps me to understand the industry from different points of view. Dear friends in Greece and Nederland, roommates and classmates thank you all for your support this year. Even during the difficult times, you were there to encourage me and have fun.
