Plans, no matter how ambitious, are of little value unless they are implemented. And plans on a national scale cannot ultimately be - 1 carried out until opposition to them at the highest level of government— either direct or indirect—is overcome or at least neutralized. While taking note of the solid and continuing accomplishments of other countries in the area of shipping activity, we in maritime labor can take little comfort from the fact that a workable plan for such accomplishments in our own country is still not out of the discussion stage in which it has languished for many endless months. Meanwhile, we must watch the speedy progress in shipping capa­ bilities of other countries whose government leaders recognize the value of a strong and competitive merchant marine. Among the free nations of the world, Japan has made tremendous advances in her merchant marine. She has already left this' country behind in tanker capacity and is rising rapidly in other vessel categories as well. Of still greater importance is the fact that Japan was able to carry more than one-third of all its own exports and almost half of its vast Seafarer Alfred D.

    Negotiating Care Across Borders & Generations: An Analysis of Care Circulation in Filipino Transnational Families in the Chubu Region of Japan by MCCALLUM Derrace Garfield DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Development GRADUATE SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT NAGOYA UNIVERSITY Approved by the Dissertation Committee: ITO Sanae (Chairperson) HIGASHIMURA Takeshi KUSAKA Wataru Approved by the GSID Committee: March 4, 2020 This dissertation is dedication to Mae McCallum; the main source of inspiration in my life. ii Acknowledgements Having arrived at this milestone, I pause to reflect on the journey and all the people and organizations who helped to make it possible. Without them, my dreams might have remained unrealized and this journey would have been dark, lonely and full of misery. For that, I owe them my deepest gratitude. First, I must thank the families who invited me into their lives. They shared with me their most intimate family details, their histories, their hopes, their joys, their sorrows, their challenges, their food and their precious time. The times I spent with the families, both in Japan and in the Philippines, are some of the best experiences I have ever had and I will forever cherish those memories. When I first considered the possibility of studying the family life of Filipinos, I was immediately daunted by the fact that I was a total stranger and an ‘outsider’, even though I had already made many Filipino friends while I was living in Nagano prefecture in Japan. Nevertheless, once I made the decision to proceed and started approaching potential families, my fears were quickly allayed by the warmth and openness of the Filipino people and their willingness to accept me into their lives, their families and their country.

  • 2015- SSC Meeting Geotraces
    Geotraces - RUSSIA Scientific Report 2015- SSC Meeting Vancouver, Canada, 15-18 July 2015 New results (Dubinin, Dubinina, 2014) New results Distribution of particulate organic carbon (POC) isotopic composition at the transect from the Yenisei estuary to the Kara Sea 13 δ СPOC, ‰ Kara Sea Middle shelf Yenisei estuary Depth, m Depth, Distance, km Location of transect (yellow line) The POC concentrations in the surface layer decreased from the estuary toward the outer shelf from 1400 and 407 µg/L to 110 and 66 µg/L in the Ob and Yenisei Rivers’ transects. 13 The δ СPOC values allowed us to estimate proportions between terrigenous (allochthonous) and phyto-planktonogenic (autochthonous) suspended organic matter. The maximum concentrations of SPM were found for river estuaries, where POC is mostly terrigenous: δ13СPOC values amount to -30.2‰ and -30.1‰ in the Ob and Yenisei estuaries with water salinity of 0.05 psu, respectively (Kravchishina et al., 2015) New results Trace metal speciation in the surface bottom sediments of the subarctic semi-enclosed White Sea Average percentage (n=30) of the trace metals occurrence forms: 0 – 3 - geochemically labile forms: 1 - exchangeable / bound to carbonates, 2 - bound to Fe-Mn hydroxides, 3 - bound to organic matter; 4- geochemically inert form or lithogenic ones) which holds metals within the mineral crystal structure. Our results showed the predominance of the geochemically inert occurrence form of most trace metals but Mn and Cd in the bottom sediments of the White Sea. To a first approximation, this might reflect a major role of terrigenous supply of the trace metals with river-runoff and abrasion processes in their accumulation in bottom sediments (Demina et al., 2015) New results Geochemical indicators of paleo-typhoons in shelf sediments of the Amur Bay, Sea of Japan Negative correlation of bromine content peaks in bottom sediments on the timescale with extreme floods caused by typhoons or deep cyclones Dashed lines with numbers: 1 - typhoon Talas, 09.2011; 2 – cyclone, 08.2001; 3 - typhoon Melissa, 09.

  • An Overview of the China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Database
    FEBRUARY 2014 Y I N G E T A L . 287 An Overview of the China Meteorological Administration Tropical Cyclone Database MING YING,WEI ZHANG,HUI YU,XIAOQIN LU, AND JINGXIAN FENG Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai, China YONGXIANG FAN National Meteorological Center, China Meteorological Administration, Beijing, China YONGTI ZHU AND DEQUAN CHEN Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai, China (Manuscript received 18 May 2012, in final form 4 July 2013) ABSTRACT The China Meteorological Administration (CMA)’s tropical cyclone (TC) database includes not only the best-track dataset but also TC-induced wind and precipitation data. This article summarizes the charac- teristics and key technical details of the CMA TC database. In addition to the best-track data, other phenomena that occurred with the TCs are also recorded in the dataset, such as the subcenters, extratropical transitions, outer-range severe winds associated with TCs over the South China Sea, and coastal severe winds associated with TCs landfalling in China. These data provide additional information for researchers. The TC-induced wind and precipitation data, which map the distribution of severe wind and rainfall, are also helpful for investigating the impacts of TCs. The study also considers the changing reliability of the various data sources used since the database was created and the potential causes of temporal and spatial inhomogeneities within the datasets. Because of the greater number of observations available for analysis, the CMA TC database is likely to be more accurate and complete over the offshore and land areas of China than over the open ocean.

  • A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt
    A Chronology of Notable Weather Events by Douglas V. Hoyt Edition of 8/4/2011 243 A. D. An inundation of the sea in Lincolnshire laid under water many thousands of acres (Camden). 353 Flood in Cheshire in which 3000 people died along with thousands of cattle (Hayden). 402 Euxine Sea frozen over for 20 days (Hayden) 500 The Vandals from Poland held Western Africa, the Diocese of Africa, Visigoth (Western Goth) from Scandia held Spain, Ostrogoth (Eastern Goth) from Scandia held Italy, Germanic-Franks from Scandia held Gaul, Burgundians held Rhone river, and Celts, Germanic-Anglo-Saxon held the diocese of England. The massive migration of the Mongols, the Huns, Goth, Slav-Bulgars, and Avars westward is because of adverse weather conditions driving them from their lands . The Germanic-Danes inhabited the Danish Islands, Schonen, and later Jutland. St. Brendan (521-527) in his voyage to the northwest suggests the Celts of Ireland discovered America about this time. The Polynesian reached Hawaii and established agricultural settlements. These people had traveled 2500 miles from Island to Island. It is inconceivable that these peoples didn't reach America in the past 500 years. The Polynesians colonized Hawaii, Easter Island, and Madagascar by 500 A.D. 507 Men from Tsinngan, China report being blown across the Great Sea East to a people who speak a strange language. 508 In England, the rivers were frozen for more than two months (including Thames?). Possible severe winter. Rivers frozen for two months. Years also quoted as 507 or 509. 514 St. Brendan (484-577) of Ireland explored the area discovering the Hebrides, Orkney, Faeroe Islands and Iceland, starting about this time.
