The first edition (in English) in 1990, based on a draft prepared by L.P.D.Gertenbach, shortly before he retired after many years as FAO’s Senior Fishery Statistician, and as Secretary of the CWP, was extensively developed, edited, restructered and completed by M.A.Robinson (Senior Fishery Statistician, FAO) and David G. Cross (Administrator, Fishery Statistics, Eurostat). In finalising the first edition, additional material was submitted by the secretariats of the CWP Member Agencies (CCAMLR, EUROSTAT, FAO, ICCAT, ICSEAF, ICES, NAFO and OECD). Spanish and French editions of the Handbook followed in 1993 and 1994 respectively. The content of the present publication, renamed “CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards”, is largely based on the 1990 edition but in addition to extensive revisions concerning CWP memberships, and relevant modifications to commissions’ statistical work, has been expanded to cover descriptions of the existing major fishing areas in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, and presents also eight new Sections on fishery related subjects. The CWP Handbook now covers all the intended range of fishery statistical concepts, definitions and classifications. The work involved in the expansion, revision and updating of the present edition was carried out by Fiorenza de Luca (formerly Fishery Statistician, FAO) under the guidance of Adele Crispoldi (Senior Fishery Statistician, FAO). Denis Berthier (Consultant, FAO) was responsible for the elaboration and presentation of maps. An html version, developed by Aureliano Gentile (Consultant, FAO), is available at: http://www.fao.org/figis/servlet/static?dom=root&xml=ontology/cwp/index.xml&xp_banner=fi The “CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards” is considered up-to-date as of its publication date of 30 November 2004. At this date the content of the html version (June 2004) is not entirely parallel to that of this publication. iv NOTE TO USERS In conceiving the Handbook of Fishery Statistics the CWP intended that it should cover the concepts, definitions and related matters as applied to fishery statistics of the Atlantic Ocean by the CWP Member Agencies. Presently this Handbook has been extended to cover all fishery matters related to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Antarctic and all adjacent waters, therefore, covering global information related and used by other fishery agencies and CWP Member Agencies in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Antarctic Oceans. Many of these principles are applied in a wider context but the user is advised to check the validity of such applications. The Handbook was developed to indicate the principles applied by the international agencies. There has been no attempt to include details of national systems, many of which, having been developed for specific national purposes, differ from those used internationally. Authorities considering introducing or revising national statistical systems are requested to ensure that the system developed incorporates a high degree of compatibility with the international standards here described. In its efforts to develop useful and practical systems, the CWP is consistently keeping these standards under review and welcomes the comments of the national authorities on the application of these international standards at the national level.

THE CWP - COORDINATING WORKING PARTY ON FISHERY STATISTICS History An Expert Meeting on Fishery Statistics in the North Atlantic Area was organised by FAO and co-sponsored by ICES and ICNAF in Edinburgh (Scotland) on 22-29 September 1959 and was attended by 71 participants from 14 countries and 6 inter- governmental agencies. The Expert Group undertook reviews of the requirements of users of fishery statistics and of existing discrepancies in the standards used by FAO, ICES and ICNAF. More importantly it initiated the joint task of these agencies by proposing and encouraging, for a large variety of sectors within the overall fields of national, regional and global fishery statistics, harmonisation in the following important sectors of work in fishery statistics: - concepts and their definitions, - classification of craft, gear, species, areas, etc., - methods (including harmonised questionnaires), - simplification of reporting procedures. The Expert Meeting concluded its report (published in 1962 as FAO Fisheries Report no 3) as follows: (i) The Meeting invites the Governments of Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Iceland and the United Kingdom;

  • A New Digital Elevation Model of Antarctica Derived from Cryosat-2 Altimetry Thomas Slater1, Andrew Shepherd1, Malcolm Mcmillan1, Alan Muir2, Lin Gilbert2, Anna E
    A new Digital Elevation Model of Antarctica derived from CryoSat-2 altimetry Thomas Slater1, Andrew Shepherd1, Malcolm McMillan1, Alan Muir2, Lin Gilbert2, Anna E. Hogg1, Hannes Konrad1, Tommaso Parrinello3 5 1Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, United Kingdom 2Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, University College London, London, WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom 3ESA ESRIN, Via Galileo Galilei, 00044 Frascati RM, Italy Correspondence to: Thomas Slater ([email protected]) 10 Abstract. We present a new Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Antarctic ice sheet and ice shelves based on 2.5 x 108 observations recorded by the CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimeter between July 2010 and July 2016. The DEM is formed from spatio-temporal fits to elevation measurements accumulated within 1, 2 and 5 km grid cells, and is posted at the modal resolution of 1 km. Altogether, 94 % of the grounded ice sheet and 98 % of the floating ice shelves are observed, and the remaining grid cells 15 North of 88 ° S are interpolated using ordinary kriging. The median and root mean square difference between the DEM and 2.3 x 107 airborne laser altimeter measurements acquired during NASA Operation IceBridge campaigns are -0.30 m and 13.50 m, respectively. The DEM uncertainty rises in regions of high slope — especially where elevation measurements were acquired in Low Resolution Mode — and, taking this into account, we estimate the average accuracy to be 9.5 m — a value that is comparable to or better than that of other models derived from satellite radar and laser altimetry.

    November 18, 2012—MoMA PS1, New York http://experimentallectures.org Comic Relief On Art, Film, and Television by Jamillah James Hi, can you guys hear me okay? Oh geez…it’s crowded… Stop laughing, okay so, I’m doing a presentation today called Comic Relief: On art, Film and Television, part autobiographical, part professional, and part, well you’ll see. Hi, I’m Jamillah James, age 32, and for all intents and purposes I’m a curator, this is typically how I look after 6 pm every day, except I’m usually wearing sweat pants. I can say with some confidence, seeing some familiar faces in the crowd, that barring going to some openings after work that this is what curators look like after six. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 1 Alright, that’s me at age 23, and age 12, (don’t laugh) before I became a curator, I was a number of things, a musician, a concert organizer, a grocery store clerk, a wig tamer for drag queens, a lab rat for medical training, a seven year college student, the list goes on forever. Before all of these things I was a slightly overweight precocious only child growing up in New Jersey. This is me at 9 ½, and that’s my Mom. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 2 Okay, as was the case for many children of the 80’s, especially for kids from working single households such as mine, I watched a lot of television. From ages 5 to 10, I would spend my afternoons at my babysitter’s house, an older woman that I lovingly called Grandma Anna who was a longtime neighbor of my actual grandmother, in the summer I was there all day, reading, eating, talking to myself, harassing my cousins and watching television.

  • Overview of Antarctic Tourism 2000 Download
    International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators Overview of Antarctic Tourism, 2000 (Agenda item 4) (Submitted by IAATO) The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) is pleased to provide this summary of Antarctic tourism for the 1999-2000 season and a brief overview of Antarctic tourism trends. A detailed overview of Antarctic tourism and IAATO is available online at iaato.org, including the statistics compiled annually by the Office of Polar Programs at the U.S. National Science Foundation. 1 Overview In 1999-2000 it is estimated that 14,762 people traveled to the Antarctic on private sector expeditions. Tourist activities currently include small boat or zodiac cruising, shore landings, and to a lesser extent kayaking, mountain climbing, scuba diving, surfing, skiing, snowboarding, camping, parachuting and marathon running. A brief summary of the season, "IAATO Overview of Actual Antarctic Tourism, 1999-2000," is appended. (Appendix A). Of these Antarctic visitors, 139 participated in land-based expeditions, 221 traveled aboard commercial yachts and 14,402 traveled aboard commercially organized tour vessels. 2 Seaborne Tourism 2.1 14,402 people traveled to the Antarctic on 21 commercially organized tour vessels from November 1999 to March 2000, a 46% increase over the 1998-1999 season total of 9,857 ship-based visitors. This dramatic increase in tourist numbers is primarily due to the operations of three new large vessels during the 1999-2000 season, namely the Aegean I, the Ocean Explorer and the Rotterdam VI. 2.2 IAATO members operated all but four of the Antarctic tour vessels that sailed in 1999-2000.

The event was the kick-off for the University of Idaho's Sexual Assault Awareness Week sponsored by the Women's Center and the ASUI Safety Task Force. The march, which began at Guy Wicks Field, took marchers on a winding tour of campus, lead by Safety Task Force Chair Angela Rauch and Vice-Chair Rhonda Anderson.

We need to increase awareness and help victims of these types of violent crimes to gain the courage to . speak out and get help," Anderson said. z'4w" 4. During the march a whistle was blown every 15 seconds, signifying the statistic of one woman battered in the United States every 15 ~A'!. seconds. Similarly, each minute a bell was rung, signifying the rape of one woman. The march ended on the steps of the Administration Building where poetry, written by victims, was read and family members and survivors spoke about loss and hope. The mes- t. sage alw'ays: "Fight back, it's not your fault, get help, you'e not alone" was heard as encourage- ment from the victims and their families.
