Introduction and Purpose The purpose of these travel policies and procedures is to promulgate in one document the regulations that travelers must follow when using any funds under the control and administration of the Executive Branch of the Republic of Palau National Government (hereinafter ROPNG). Further, guidelines are provided to all interested parties as to completion, routing, and distribution of forms and other documents. Section 102. To Whom Applicable All official travel in the interest of the Republic of Palau National Government Executive Branch is covered by these policies and procedures. Therefore all employees, boards and commission members, and all other people traveling utilizing ROPNG Executive Branch funds are subject to these policies and procedures. U.S. Federal, foreign nations, or other special grant funded travel must follow these regulations, except whenever the grant regulations (e.g. contract special conditions) are required by the grantor. Section 103. The Legislative and Judicial Branches and State Governments and Independent Agencies Although these policies and procedures are not directed to the Judiciary, the Olbiil Era Kelulau, Independent agencies of the Government, or State Governments, they are welcome and encouraged to adopt any or all provisions that may provide suitable audit trails. The Olbiil Era Kelulau (OEK) travels under the administrative authority of its own Administrative Manual on Travel and Per Diem, although the OEK regulations are similar to the policies and procedures of the Executive Branch. The Judiciary has in the past followed Executive Branch regulations in the interest of uniformity. Whether or not the ChiefJustice adopts these regulations, or a substantial part thereof, a separate travel policies and procedures manual for the Judiciary is appropriate. Each State Government and Independent agencies should likewise promulgate its own travel policies and procedures. Section 104. Definitions BNT Bureau ofNational Treasury DF&A Division ofFinance & Accounting Dependent A dependent is a person entitled to transportation under the employment agreement of an employee. Dependents are limited to the spouse and children (including legally adopted and Travel Policies and Procedures Republic of Palau Revised April 2019 Page4 step-children) under 19 years of age. The Travel Section may require proof of dependent status such as a marriage license, birth certificate, adoption papers or other documentation. Non-employee Traveler People who are not regular employees of the ROPNG Executive Branch, such as consultants, researchers, visiting dignitaries, students, or medical patients, but who travel using Executive Branch funds directly (i.e., not under a contract) are considered non­ employee travelers, subject to most provisions of these regulations. Per Diem Per diem is a daily allowance provided to reimburse the traveler for authorized expenses incurred for lodging and meals. ROPNG Republic ofPalau National Government. Daily Subsistence Allowance An allowance provided to employees only for meal expenses incurred while on official travel, when lodging is provided at the expense of someone other than the traveler. Supplementary Fund Funds provided to a traveler for whose travel expenses are being paid by an outside sow-ce (other than the ROPNG). Examples are funds to cover costs associated with transiting to or from the destination (with all expenses paid once the traveler arrives) or funds provided

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

Date: The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above-mentioned discipline. ii Abstract Primm, Katherine M. (Ph.D., Chemistry) Exploring the water uptake and release of Mars-relevant salt and surface analogs through Raman microscopy Dissertation directed by Distinguished Professor Margaret A. Tolbert Pure liquid water is not stable on the surface of Mars because of low pressures and temperatures. The possibility of liquid water seemed more achievable since 2008 when the - Phoenix lander detected ~0.5-1% perchlorate (ClO 4 ) in the Martian soil. Perchlorate and chloride (Cl -) salts are of interest because they readily absorb water vapor and transition into aqueous solutions, a process called deliquescence. This thesis explores the interaction of several Martian surface analogs with water. To study the phase transitions of the Mars-relevant surface analogs, we use a Raman microscope and an environmental cell.
