Aboard SS Mongolia, 21 February 1913 “SS Mongolia was a 13,369-ton passenger-and-cargo liner originally built for Pacific Mail Steamship Company in 1904. She later sailed as USS Mongolia (ID-1615) for the U.S. Navy, as SS President Fillmore for the Dollar Line and as SS Panamanian for Cia Transatlantica Centroamericano Originally laid down as Minnelora on 7 June 1902 in Shipway J at New York Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey for the Atlantic Transport Line, she was purchased by E. H. Harriman's Pacific Mail Steamship Co. for its San Francisco-Far East service, and renamed Mongolia. The 616-foot vessel was launched on July 25, 1903 and christened by Miss Lucy Bell Kennedy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A sister ship, Manchuria, was ordered at the same time and delivered three months after Mongolia. Both ships were used on the trans-Pacific service (Hong Kong, Hawaii, San Francisco) from 1904 to 1915. The accommodations of both ships reflected the importance of Chinese emigration to shipping lines of that era: 350 first-class, 68 second-class, and 1,300 steerage.” (Wikipedia) Weekly Transmission 8 IV Thursday 22 February 2018 . We can imagine the album open when the travellers where telling magical travel recollections to the young ones. Some pencil notes, verso and ink captions, recto supported the failing or rather transforming memories, human transmission is always in progress, opposed to the dry exigence of machine brains. The same image of Alberto, papá, avuelo , father, grandfather, travelling in a “Koruma” , Yokohama, Japan, bears three different dates in three occasions ! The album contains 89 original photos by Alberto junior, printed on postcard papers, tpgether with some printed views and a Japanese portrait with the curious note: “Geisha que attendo a mi abuelo Alberto J.

Returning on the Tenyo Maru, 14 April 1913 SS Tenyo Maru ( 天洋丸 Tenyōmaru) of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Co. (TKK) was a Japanese ocean-going passenger liner completed in 1908 by the Mitsubishi Dockyard & Engine Works, Nagasaki, Japan. It had accommodation for 275 first-class, 5 second-class and 800 steerage passengers, and could carry over 8000 tons of cargo. The steerage class had an opium den for Chinese passengers. Tenyo Maru was launched in 1908 from Nagasaki, Japan, as the first Turbine Steam Ship built for trans-Pacific passenger service. It made its first arrival in San Francisco on June 30, 1909, from Manchuria, the first of many crossings which brought immigrants from Asia through the United States Immigration Station, Angel Island. Tenyo Maru was the first turbine driven steamship ever in the port of San Francisco. Tenyo Maru was the ocean liner that carried the Japanese Friendship Dolls from Yokohama to San Francisco in 1927. It also carried opium and contraband. When Tenyo Maru arrived in San Francisco on July 9, 1929, passenger Sui'e Ying Kao, wife of the Chinese Vice Consul, requested that her baggage be passed and delivered at once, claiming diplomatic immunity from Customs inspection. The agents did not agree, broke the seals, opened the trunks, and found 2,300 cans of opium (about 1,000 pounds), worth about $600,000, making it a very large seizure by contemporary standards. The ship was scrapped in 1933.” (Wikipedia) Weekly Transmission 8 26 Thursday 22 February 2018 .

Building on the social accountability literature, a framework is proposed and then applied to the Water Benefit-sharing Mongolian context to examine which stages of the framework work well, and which fail to perform. Two types of EITI contracts are analyzed, water usage agreements and community benefit-sharing agreements.

  • F.W. Longbottom: Astronomical Photographer and Founder of the Chester Astronomical Society
    1 F.W. Longbottom: astronomical photographer and founder of the Chester Astronomical Society Jeremy Shears Abstract Frederick William Longbottom FRAS (1850-1933) was an original member of the BAA and served as Director of its Photographic Section between 1906 and 1926. A hop merchant by trade, he spent much of his life in Chester where he was instrumental in founding the City‘s first astronomical society in 1892. Introduction In his book ―The Victorian Amateur Astronomer‖ (1), Dr Allan Chapman describes how during the second half of the nineteenth century a profound social change took place in British astronomy. Initially the subject was dominated by the independently wealthy ―Grand Amateurs‖. Later in the century the comfortable and educated middle classes, with leisure time on their hands, began to take up various hobbies including astronomy. Around the country amateur astronomical societies began to be formed which allowed people to discuss their shared interest, listen to lectures on the subject and learn how and what to observe with their telescopes. Equally important was the social aspect, allowing like-minded men and women to enjoy each others‘ company, no matter how committed they were to the subject. In many ways this is similar to the dynamic in the myriad of local astronomical societies that exist across the country today. The oldest of the local societies is Leeds Astronomical Society. Although this was formed in 1859 it had a couple of false starts (2), eventually taking off in 1892. Next came the Liverpool Astronomical Society (LAS) in 1881 which for a period was a society of national standing with members from all over the UK and even overseas.

  • CHAP2 CHAPTER 2 SAKADA, 1909-1918 in 1907 Federal
    CHAP2 CHAPTER 2 SAKADA, 1909-1918 In 1907 federal government officials, unhappy about the predominance of Asian laborers in Hawaii, continued to pressure the sugar planters to bring more whites to Hawaii. President Theodore Roosevelt himself again decried the planters' failure to encourage homesteading among white plantation hands, and so Frances M. Swanzy, Theo H. Davis' trustee on the HSPA board, urged the sugar industry to fund in full the territorial board of immigration project to recruit European laborers. "As long as we continue to introduce Europeans," he argued, "it is hoped that the Administration at Washington will overlook such efforts as have to be made to supply our wants in addition from the Orient."l &Swanzy, Theo H. Davis, to McLennan, January 7, 1907, Laupahoehoe.& The territorial immigration board's agent in Europe, Edward R. Stackable, competed for immigrants with the southern American states and with Central American countries, in particular Chile, Argentina, and Cuba, which were offering immigrants generous land grants. He tried Italy first but ran into government opposition there. In Portugal he succeeded in securing a group of 459 men, 383 women and 382 children, which arrived in Hawaii on the S.S. Suveric merely a few days before Judd's Filipinos. 1 &Board of Immigration, Territory of Hawaii, "First Report," in Planter's Monthly, vol. 26, March 1907), pp. 49-60.& In Andalusia, Spain, he also secured 700 immigrants but when their chartered ship, the Heliopolis, docked at Malaga to pick up more immigrants, half the Andalusians, complaining about the food and accommodations on board, camped out at the wharves and refused to reboard.

  • WHAT the MAYOR and CITY COUNCIL CAN DO in the PREVENTION of TYPHOID FEVER.A by L
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS. VOL. XXV. JUNE 17, 1910. No. 24. WHAT THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CAN DO IN THE PREVENTION OF TYPHOID FEVER.a By L. L. LUMSDEN, Passed Assistant Surgeon, United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service. Since the early dawn of civilization the conservation of human health has been a problem in the minds of men and has received more or less consideration from those responsible for the welfare of the tribes and nations.' Public hygiene was cultivated to some extent among the ancient Egyptians, and in the code of sanitary laws given to the children of Israel by Moses there is contained much that might be adopted advantageously by many of our communities in the twentieth century. From time to time infectious diseases have swept as great epidemics over different parts of the world.
