Cruising Guide to the Philippines
Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used. -

Adaptation and Foraging from the Terminal Pleistocene to the Early Holocene: Excavation at Bubog on Ilin Island, Philippines
Adaptation and foraging from the Terminal Pleistocene to the Early Holocene: Excavation at Bubog on Ilin Island, Philippines Alfred F. Pawlik1, Philip J. Piper2, Marie Grace Pamela G. Faylona3, Sabino G. Padilla, Jr.{4, Jane Carlos1, Armand S. B. Mijares1, Benjamin Vallejo, Jr.1, Marian Reyes1, Noel Amano1, Thomas Ingicco1, Martin Porr5 1University of the Philippines Diliman, 2Australian National University, 3National Museum of the Philippines, 4University of the Philippines Manila, 5University of Western Australia The recently discovered human remains from Callao Cave, northern Luzon, Philippines securely date the migration of hominins into the Philippines to ca. 70 kya (thousands of years ago). The direct route to reach Luzon from the Asian mainland is via Borneo, Palawan, through Mindoro and into Luzon. Our research focuses on Mindoro Island as a potential stepping stone to the main Philippine Archipelago. While Palawan and Luzon have produced evidence for early human occupation, no systematic research on the prehistory of Mindoro has been conducted until now. We report on recent archaeological investigations at the Bubog rockshelter sites on the small island of Ilin just off the coast of Mindoro. The excavations produced evidence of stratified sequences of human habitation at the two rockshelter sites in the form of dense shell middens that date to ca. 11 kya onwards. They provide direct evidence on how variability in landscape formation, sea levels, and landmass during the terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene influenced the behavior of early human populations. Numerous species of molluscs were recorded and provisional results indicate variations in the invertebrate faunas throughout the stratigraphic sequences, resulting from sea level rise and the establishment of coral reefs between Ilin and Mindoro at the end of the Pleistocene. -
And the English Imperative: a Study of Language Ideologies and Literacy Practices at an Orphanage and Village School in Suburban New Delhi
“Globalization” and the English Imperative: A Study of Language Ideologies and Literacy Practices at an Orphanage and Village School in Suburban New Delhi by Usree Bhattacharya A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Prof. Laura Sterponi, Chair Prof. Claire Kramsch Prof. Robin Lakoff Fall 2013 “Globalization” and the English Imperative: A Study of Language Ideologies and Literacy Practices at an Orphanage and Village School in Suburban New Delhi Copyright © 2013 By Usree Bhattacharya Abstract “Globalization” and the English Imperative: A Study of Language Ideologies and Literacy Practices at an Orphanage and Village School in Suburban New Delhi by Usree Bhattacharya Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura Sterponi, Chair This dissertation is a study of English language and literacy in the multilingual Indian context, unfolding along two analytic planes: the first examines institutional discourses about English learning across India and how they are motivated and informed by the dominant theme of “globalization,” and the second investigates how local language ideologies and literacy practices correspond to these discourses. An ethnographic case study, it spans across four years. The setting is a microcosm of India’s own complex multilingualism. The focal children speak Bengali or Bihari as a first language; Hindi as a second language; attend an English-medium village school; and participate daily in Sanskrit prayers. Within this context, I show how the institutional discursive framing of English as a prerequisite for socio- economic mobility, helps produce, reproduce, and exacerbate inequalities within the world’s second largest educational system. -
Cloud Rats in the Philippines — Preliminary Report on Distribution
ORYX VOL 27 NO 1 JANUARY 1993 Cloud rats in the Philippines - preliminary report on distribution and status W. L. R. Oliver, C. R. Cox, P. C. Gonzales and L. R. Heaney This paper describes a preliminary field survey of bushy-tailed cloud rats Crateromys spp. and slender-tailed cloud rats Phloeomys in the Philippines in April and May 1990. Brief visits were made to all islands/locations known to support these animals and also to neighbouring areas considered likely to do so. Comparing the results with information from previous surveys suggests that both genera, particularly Crateromys, are more widely distributed than formerly believed, but that some forms are threatened. Three of the four known species of Crateromys are known only from their holotype specimens, one of which awaits description. Another is extinct in its type locality on Ilin Island but may survive on neighbouring Mindoro. These preliminary findings indicate that thorough surveys are required to establish the status of certain species, to investigate the possibility that new species remain undiscovered and to develop conservation plans to reduce the likelihood of further extinctions occurring. The discovery of the Panay species means Introduction that the genus Crateromys is now known from widely separated locations in each of the four There are at least 22 genera and 52 species of principal faunal regions or late Pleistocene murid rodents in the Philippines, of which 16 islands (Luzon, Mindoron, Mindanoan and genera and 44 species are endemic (Heaney et Negros) as defined by Heaney (1986) on the al., 1987). Among the endemic genera are basis of the 120 m bathymetric line (Figure 1). -

Piraterie Et Brigandage Maritimes Dans Le Monde BILAN ANNUEL ANNUAL REPORT
Piraterie et brigandage maritimes dans le monde BILAN ANNUEL ANNUAL REPORT Worldwide maritime piracy and robbery 2020 Édito | Editorial L’année 2020 restera marquée par la pandémie du coronavirus. A l’heure de la mondialisation, le développement d’une crise sanitaire est brutalement venu souligner la vulnérabilité des sociétés humaines ainsi que la dépendance de l’économie mondiale au trafic maritime. Ce dernier achemine autour de la planète près de 90% du volume des marchandises qui alimentent le commerce international. En première approche, les experts de l’ONU estiment que le trafic maritime global a subi une contraction d’au moins 4%. Amiral / Admiral Pierre VANDIER A défaut d’atténuer l’engagement des pirates et des brigands dans leurs activités illicites, la crise sanitaire aura contribué à son maintien, Chef d'état-major de la Marine un peu partout dans le monde, en venant accentuer les difficultés Chief of the Naval Staff for the Marine Nationale socio-économiques. Les faits relevés par le MICA Center, au cours de l’année 2020, établissent une légère tendance à la hausse de l’insécurité dans le domaine maritime. Malgré les efforts du Nigéria et des pays États riverains, le golfe de Guinée demeure la zone la plus dangereuse du monde et les actes de piraterie s’y étendent désormais du large du Ghana jusqu’au large de la Guinée équatoriale. En Asie du Sud-Est, le brigandage progresse, notamment dans les détroits de Singapour et de Malacca. Le nombre d’actes de brigandage en Amérique latine reste élevé à l’encontre du commerce maritime et de la navigation de plaisance. -

Prado, Transimperial Networks
DRAFT - DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION - DRAFT Trans-Imperial Networks in the South Atlantic: The Rio de Janeiro-Montevideo Connection, 1777-1805 Fabrício Prado - The College of William and Mary In the last quarter of the eighteenth century, a series of deep changes occasioned by revolutionary wars and imperial disputes shook the Atlantic World. In particular, the Spanish Empire faced multiple crises, which many historians regard as having paved the way for the Spanish American independence movements after 1808. Spain’s involvement in intermittent warfare in Europe weakened the Spanish economy and loosened the Castilian Crown’s control over commerce and governance in many regions of its American empire. Military conflicts, especially the French invasion of Iberia in 1808, severed the commercial flow between the Peninsula and the colonies and, subsequently, opened the colonial economies to foreigners in the early 1800s. These processes are mentioned as crucial to the collapse of the Spanish colonial system.1 However, such explanations are mainly formulated based on documentary evidence produced by official records of the Spanish Empire deposited in the metropolitan archives. The analysis of historic sources generated by Portuguese authorities in the Americas, and records generated in colonial areas of the Spanish Empire, however, indicates the growing significance of commercial transactions between Spanish merchants and subjects of foreign empires. The analysis of commercial records produced by local authorities of the Portuguese and the Spanish Empires in the late 18th century reveals that trade between Spain and its South Atlantic colonies was not paralyzed. During moments of war, trade routes connecting Rio de la Plata merchants to their Portuguese counterparts in Rio de Janeiro assured the maintenance of commercial activity, communication, and the flow of goods and people between Cádiz and the River Plate.
