    A Little More Conversation A Little Less Action Speech given by Andrew G Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy Conference 31 March 2017 The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Bank of England or the Monetary Policy Committee. I would like to thank Shiv Chowla, Jeremy Franklin, Jonathan Fullwood, Chloe Gilbert, Leanne Leahy, Michael McLeay, Michael McMahon, Sam McPhilemy, Chris Peacock and Paul Robinson for their help in preparing this text. I would like to thank Mike Anson, Tom Belsham, James Benford, Rachel Botsman, Nida Broughton, Kristin Forbes, Keir Haldane, John Lewis, Clare Macallan, Mike Peacock and Eryk Walczak for comments and contributions. 1 All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/speeches It is a great pleasure to be here at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco conference on “Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy”. I am grateful to my old friend John Williams, President of the San Francisco Fed, for the invitation. And for one night only, John, where better to channel my inner-Elvis.1 Back in 2004, Benoit Mandelbrot observed: “So limited is our knowledge that we resort, not to science, but to shamans. We place control of the world’s largest economy in the hands of a few elderly men, the central bankers”.2 You could quibble with the detail here – a few central bankers these days are women and a few are not old. But the general sentiment is not one which would be entirely out of place today. It is not difficult to see why.

    BHSA Newsletter Autumn Term 2019 Edition 05 Welcome Welcome to our October 2019 Newsletter. We have had an incredibly busy and positive start to this aca- demic year at BHSA . I hope you enjoy reading about some of the many opportunities the girls have em- braced so far this term. It is virtually impossible to New junior school council select any favourites, but a real highlight in the Sen- ior School was welcoming Deana Puccio form The Rap Project UK to BHSA. Her presentations to all girls from Years 7 to 13 were both powerful and in- spiring, delivering an important message to every single one of us. The girls are still talking about her visit. This was made possible through funding from the GDST and we are very proud to be part of this movement in girls’ education. The highlights in the Junior School are too many to mention, but the new art work and displays throughout the Juniors show the wonderful end products from the numerous col- laborative, creative workshops this term. As always, the girls never cease to amaze me with their confi- dence, talents and determination. This was seen in abundance at our recent Open Events and there were many proud moments on receiving the glow- ing feedback about our girls from the record num- bers of visitors. I hope you enjoy a relaxing half term break and I look forward to welcoming the girls back on the 4th November. Thank you for your continued support. Rebecca Mahony Sophie the T-Rex came to visit! Did you hear about the dinosaurs visiting our school? Sophie the T- Rex came to visit! Our infant girls were immersed in a Jurassic world where they learnt paleontological and archaeological skills, and eve- rybody had a superb (and a little bit of a scary) time! Wow! What an exciting morning KS1 and Reception pupils had on Tuesday 24th September.

Signed: Alexander Donald Fraser Date: ABSTRACT Landfast sea ice (sea ice which is held fast to the coast or grounded icebergs, also known as fast ice) is a pre-eminent feature of the Antarctic coastal zone, where it forms an important interface between the ice sheet and pack ice/ocean to exert a ma- jor influence on high-latitude atmosphere-ocean interaction and biological processes.

  • Land-Based Tourism in Antarctica
    IP (number) Agenda Item: CEP 7b, ATCM 10 Presented by: ASOC Original: English Land-Based Tourism in Antarctica 1 IP (number) Summary This paper examines the interface between commercial land based tourism and the use of national program infrastructure, as well as recent developments in land-based tourism. Eight Parties responded to a questionnaire distributed by ASOC at ATCMs XXXI and XXXII. None of the respondents reported providing any support to tourism other than free basic hospitality, and most respondents explicitly opposed the notion of Parties being involved in tourism operations. Based on these responses it is apparent that some Parties have identified two locations where commercial land based tourism takes place using infrastructure from National Antarctic Programs. All land-based tourism operations rely directly or indirectly on some form of state support, including permits, use of runways, and use of facilities and terrain adjacent to research stations. The continued improvement of land-based facilities such as runways and camps, and the broad array of land activities now available to tourists, indicate that land-based tourism is growing. If no actions are taken soon, land-based tourism may well become consolidated as a major activity in a few years. 1. Overview In 2008 ASOC submitted to XXXI ATCM IP 41, A decade of Antarctic tourism: Status, change, and actions needed. Among other issues relevant to Antarctic tourism, ASOC’s IP 41 discussed the interface between commercial land-based tourism and the activities of national Antarctic programs. The paper remarked on a disturbing lack of clarity with regard to aspects of land-based tourism – what an IAATO representative described aptly as “fogginess”.1 ASOC’s IP 41 included a table listing several facilities used to support land- based tourism, some of which were private commercial facilities and other facilities of National Antarctic programs.

  • Species Status Assessment Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes Fosteri)
    SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT EMPEROR PENGUIN (APTENODYTES FOSTERI) Emperor penguin chicks being socialized by male parents at Auster Rookery, 2008. Photo Credit: Gary Miller, Australian Antarctic Program. Version 1.0 December 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Program Branch of Delisting and Foreign Species Falls Church, Virginia Acknowledgements: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Penguins are flightless birds that are highly adapted for the marine environment. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species. Emperors are near the top of the Southern Ocean’s food chain and primarily consume Antarctic silverfish, Antarctic krill, and squid. They are excellent swimmers and can dive to great depths. The average life span of emperor penguin in the wild is 15 to 20 years. Emperor penguins currently breed at 61 colonies located around Antarctica, with the largest colonies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea. The total population size is estimated at approximately 270,000–280,000 breeding pairs or 625,000–650,000 total birds. Emperor penguin depends upon stable fast ice throughout their 8–9 month breeding season to complete the rearing of its single chick. They are the only warm-blooded Antarctic species that breeds during the austral winter and therefore uniquely adapted to its environment. Breeding colonies mainly occur on fast ice, close to the coast or closely offshore, and amongst closely packed grounded icebergs that prevent ice breaking out during the breeding season and provide shelter from the wind. Sea ice extent in the Southern Ocean has undergone considerable inter-annual variability over the last 40 years, although with much greater inter-annual variability in the five sectors than for the Southern Ocean as a whole.
