The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

    Chatham Island and Pitt Island Shag Census 2011 DRAFT REPORT

    MCSPOP2010-02 DRAFT REPORT MCSPOP2010-02: Chatham Island and Pitt Island shag census 2011 DRAFT REPORT Chatham Island shag Pitt Island shag May 2012 Igor Debski1, Mike Bell2 and Dan Palmer1 1Science and Technical Group, Department of Conservation, PO Box 10-420, Wellington 6143 2Wildlife Management International Limited, PO Box 45, Spring Creek, Marlborough 7244 1 MCSPOP2010-02 DRAFT REPORT Abstract We conducted an extensive survey of coastal areas suitable for Chatham Island and Pitt Island shag nesting between August and November 2011. The census methods were designed to maximise comparability with an earlier census in 1997/98. Based on a complete census of all known Chatham Island shag breeding colonies we estimated the breeding population to be 355 pairs, representing a 58 % decline since 1997/98. We estimated the total Pitt Island shag breeding population to be 434 pairs, a 40% decline since 1997/98 (extrapolated numbers were used for some outlying islands known to hold this species that we did not visit). A series of regular observations showed that breeding activity for both species peaks in October, though there is some notable variation in timing between colonies. Such variation must be taken into consideration in estimating the total breeding population for both species. Both species are distributed across the Chatham Islands group. We found that population declines since 1997/98 have been particularly steep for both species at Pitt Island and outlying islands, with smaller declines on main Chatham Island. A range of anthropogenic threats have been identified, both land-based and at-sea. Because population declines have been particularly pronounced at pest-free, protected out-lying islands we conclude that at-sea factors are likely to be driving the population decline, though more research is required to identify causal factors.

This phenomenon, influenced by complex religious beliefs, included several practices such as decapitation, cranial deformation, and the use of human cranial bones for skull mask manufacturing. Archaeological evidence suggests that all of these practices required specialized knowledge of skull base and upper cervical anatomy. The authors con- ducted a systematic search for information on skull base anatomical and surgical knowledge among Mesoamerican civilizations. A detailed exposition of these results is presented, along with some interesting information extracted from historical documents and pictorial codices to provide a better understanding of skull base surgical practices among these cultures. Paleoforensic evidence from the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan indicates that Aztec priests used a specialized decapitation technique, based on a deep anatomical knowledge.
