Gregg Shaw, 67, was reported missing on Christmas Day somewhere between his home at Papamoa and Gisborne. Mr Shaw left the home he shares with younger brother Michael on Christmas morning, intending to have lunch with family in Gisborne. They raised the alarm when he failed to arrive. Police made an appeal for information on social media and his family set off to look for him. They paid for a helicopter to search through the Waioeka Gorge but to no avail. Mr Shaw was eventually found in his crashed car at around 4pm on Sunday afternoon at a spot between Cemetery Road and Rakauroa Road, the Matawai side of Otoko Hill. “His car had gone off the road and down a five-metre steep bank into a drain, landing on its wheels, but firmly wedged against the sides of the drain,” said Te Karaka deputy chief fire officer Murray Burgess. “He was trapped in the car because he couldn’t open the doors. The windscreen had broken but he was too sore to break through it to get out.” Mr Shaw put a small torch on top of his car at night in the hope that someone would see it. No one did. Mr Burgess said the family searched the highway from the Opotiki end of the gorge towards Gisborne for two days. Mr Shaw’s niece Nicola Dunn and her partner found him. “I was looking out of the window of our Ford Ranger 4x4 when I happened to see something shiny down a bank just off the road,” said Ms Dunn. “I told my partner we should stop and I RESCUE OPERATION: Emergency service workers prepare to stretcher missing man Gregg Shaw (inset) out of his rushed down the bank. car, which went off State Highway 2 and into a deep ditch, where it became wedged.

  • Australia Catch Reconstruction

    Australia Catch Reconstruction

    A scientific summary from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Sea Around Us Project Shutterstock Australia Catch Reconstruction Overview Australia has generally robust fisheries management, but it does not account for all the fish and shellfish taken from its waters. A process known as “catch reconstruction” helps to fill these gaps by collecting information on catch from a variety of sources, including academic PACIFIC OCEAN literature, industrial fishing statistics, local expert interviews, and other accounts and records. This fact sheet presents estimates (Kleisner et al., 2015) of total catches from 1950 to 2010, including recreational and INDIAN traditional (i.e., fishing by local indigenous communities) catch, which OCEAN has been neglected in official accounting. Total catches appear relatively sustainable given the size of Australia’s ocean area, and discards have declined. Shutterstock Tuna at the port in Cairns, Australia. Most countries focus their data collection on industrial fishing, in part because small-scale operations can be difficult to track.

    Of Dice and Men the Role of Dice in Board and Table Games

    Homo Ludens 1/(2) (2010) Homo Ludens Of Dice and Men The role of dice in board and table games Jens Jahnke, Britta Stöckmann Kiel, Germany Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu When it comes to games, dice belong to the oldest playthings or gambling instruments men have used to pass their time and/or make some money, and it is striking that still today it is hard to imagine the realm of board and table games1 without them. Dominions fell, Caesars were overthrown, however, the die is still rolling – but is it also still ruling? Trying to answer this question, we approach the topic from two angles, analysing !rst the historical and then the current situation. In the !rst part the authors would like to give a quick retrospection into the history of the die to highlight a few outstanding facts about dice and gambling in their sociocultural context. "e second part then will discuss the cur- rent situation on the German board game market from a more technical and functional point of view: how dice are being integrated into board and table games, and how the out- come is being received. To narrow down the !eld we will concentrate on this speci!c range and leave out dice in casino games as well as in RPGs. "e focus on German board games is due to the fact that they constitute one of the biggest board game markets worldwide and therefore provides a lot of material for the analysis, which at the same time does not exclude games from other countries.

    Marine Small-Scale Fisheries of Bangladesh: a General Description

    BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME BOBP/INF/8 Development of Small-Scale Fisheries (GCP/RAS/040/SWE) MARINE SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES OF BANGLADESH : A GENERAL DESCRIPTION Executing Agency : Funding Agency : Food and Agriculture Organization Swedish International of the United Nations Development Authority Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal Madras, India, September 1985 This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline infor- mation on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of Bangladesh. It could serve as an introduction to the subject, leading to’ deeper studies of particular aspects; as a source of general information; or as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. The paper has been prepared by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (B 0 B P) which began in 1979 from Madras. It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal - Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. It is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and exe- cuted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO). It is a multi-disciplinary project, active in the areas of craft, gear, extension, information and development support. The project’s main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and increase the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in member countries. The paper has been prepared in cooperation with the Directorate of Fisheries, Bangla- desh, with the assistance of a consultant, Dr.

These collisions occurred mostly at night or in fog conditions where visibility was restricted and additional lookouts were not engaged. Discussion The Chinese port Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is located in Ningbo and Zhoushan on the coast of the East China Sea, in Zhejiang province and is ranked the busiest cargo port in the world. Large fleets of fishing junks may be encountered on the coast of China. The junks may not be carrying lights. They are solidly built and serious damage could be incurred by colliding with them. Fishing vessels vary from traditional rowing or sailing craft as little as 3m long to modern trawlers 15m long and over. We recently met with China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) to review the collision cases and explore possible measures to help prevent similar casualties and loss of life. Attached is an Advisory prepared by Ningbo MSA that provides guidance for Master’s on navigating through the East China Sea and areas where there may be high concentrations of fishing vessels.
