It is a real privilege to dream and laugh together with you. Every word in here is because of you. Many acknowledgments are written into the body of the dissertation, but I will mention and repeat just a feW here. The words here are too feW and inadequate, and the categories are faulty, as so many of you weave again and again through all of this. Please forgive the limitations of these words and know that you have my decolonial love.

  • Armed Sloop Welcome Crew Training Manual
    HMAS WELCOME ARMED SLOOP WELCOME CREW TRAINING MANUAL Discovery Center ~ Great Lakes 13268 S. West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

  • Terminology of Yacht Parts, Fittings, Sails & Sheets Etc
    Terminology of yacht parts, fittings, sails & sheets etc. Some of the obvious, and not so obvious, parts encountered on model yachts (and full size yachts). Bowsie, flat. Small drilled ‘plate’ through which runs a line, or cord, for adjustment of that line. Pre-war bowsies were often made in ivory, some were made in a fine plywood; today hard plastic is used. Bowsie, ring . A circular version of the flat bowsie, usually for larger yachts such as the A-class. Deck eye. An eye on a horizontal plate with fixing holes, located on the deck. Normally used for accepting backstay/forestay attachment, also shroud attachment on smaller yachts. Eyebolt. An eye, at the end of a threaded spigot, or bolt. Eyelet, sail. A sail eyelet is a brass part, in the shape of a ‘funnel’ before compression, and when pressed into a hole in a sail it makes a firm metal ring. It is then used to facilitate making off a line (or on occasions a wire hawser in full size practise). Larger/stronger eyelets used on laying up covers for full size boats, were turnovers , where a brass ring was firstly sewn in place over a hole punched in the sail or sheet, the turnover (eyelet) was then hammered in place using a rawhide mallet and dies. It made an immensely strong eyelet. Ferrule (slang, crimp). A brass ferrule, or sleeve, which when made off on one end of a wire, secures/attaches it by means of a loop made in the wire to a fitting or line. Head crane.

  • Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions
    December 2019 Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions Lauren Dickey, Erica Downs, Andrew Taffer, and Heidi Holz with Drew Thompson, S. Bilal Hyder, Ryan Loomis, and Anthony Miller Maps and graphics created by Sue N. Mercer, Sharay Bennett, and Michele Deisbeck Approved for Public Release: distribution unlimited. IRM-2019-U-019755-Final Abstract This report provides a general map of the information environment of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The focus of the report is on the information environment—that is, the aggregate of individuals, organizations, and systems that shape public opinion through the dissemination of news and information—in the PICs. In this report, we provide a current understanding of how these countries and their respective populaces consume information. We map the general characteristics of the information environment in the region, highlighting trends that make the dissemination and consumption of information in the PICs particularly dynamic. We identify three factors that contribute to the dynamism of the regional information environment: disruptors, deficits, and domestic decisions. Collectively, these factors also create new opportunities for foreign actors to influence or shape the domestic information space in the PICs. This report concludes with recommendations for traditional partners and the PICs to support the positive evolution of the information environment. This document contains the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of the sponsor or client. Distribution Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. 12/10/2019 Cooperative Agreement/Grant Award Number: SGECPD18CA0027. This project has been supported by funding from the U.S.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

  • Born to Sing: Fiji's "Singing Culture" and Implications for Music Education in Canada
    BORN TO SING: FIJI'S "SINGING CULTURE" AND IMPLICATIONS FOR MUSIC EDUCATION IN CANADA JOAN RUSSELL McGiI/ University ABSTRACT. The first part of trus paper describes the singing practices of selected Fijiancommunities, and identifies sorne of the social conditions that support widespread and skillful singing. Next, in order to interpret Fijian musical practices, it proposes a cultural grammar - a set of guidelines or rules that define what individuals within a society, community, or group have to know, produce, predict, interpret or evaluate within a given setting or social group in order to participate appropriately (Heath, 1982; Heath, 1983). In the second part of the paper the proposed cultural grammar is used to generate suggestions for developing a singing culture in a Canadian school. Nt POUR CHANTER: LA "CULTURE DU CHANT" À flDJI ET LES IMPLICATIONS POUR L'ENSEIGNEMENT DE LA MUSIQUE AU CANADA RÉSUMÉ. La première partie de ce rapport décrit la pratique du chant de certaines communautés fidjiennes tout en mettant en évidence quelques unes des conditions sociales contribuant à répandre l'art du chant. Pour interpréter les pratiques musicales fidjiennes, l'auteur propose une grammaire culturelle, à savoir un ensemble de directives ou de règles définissant ce que les sujets d'une société, d'une collectivité ou d'un groupe doivent connaître, produire, prévoir, interpréter ou évaluer dans un milieu ou un groupe social donné pour y participer pleinement. (Heath, 1982; Heath, 1983). Dans la deuxième partie de ce rapport, la grammaire culturelle proposée sert à émettre des conseils en vue de l'élaboration d'une culture du chant dans une école canadienne.

  • Pocket-Luff Rigs the Pocket Luff Rig Was First Used on Moths in Australia in the 1960S
    Pocket-Luff Rigs The pocket luff rig was first used on Moths in Australia in the 1960s. It was then re-introduced by Ian Ward in 1993 and used by him in the 1993 Worlds in England. It showed moments of great boat speed which prompted Emmett Lazich to change over to a pocket luff rig in his return from these Worlds. Development was initially slow until more sailors switched to using them. Then, in the final few months before the Worlds in Australia in late 1994, there was some extremely rapid development, leading to the rigs we are using now. I have been continually refining my rig, and the rig I used in the most recent Nationals in Melbourne is the result. I think it is arguably the best all- round rig available.I will now try to explain why I think pocket luff rigs are faster than standard bolt rope sails. This is only my opinion, and since I am not an expert on sails, my explanations may be different from what might be in the text books. But here goes anyway ! I think the main reason why pocket luff sails are faster is that the wind is attached to the leeward side of the sail straight away, which enables them to generate more power at a lower wind strength than the bolt rope sail. In contrast, the bolt rope sail has much greater turbulence in the area immediately behind the mast. The smooth entrance in the pocket luff sail is achieved through the use of camber inducers which are connected to the battens.

  • PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga)
    PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga) Who is a Pacific Islander? The “Pacific Islands” is how we are described because of our geographic location, “Islands, geographically located in the Pacific Ocean”. Today, we will talk and share with educators, health experts, and community members of the three dominant Pacific Islander populations who live in San Mateo County, namely, Fijians, Samoans, and Tongans. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • When you talk about the Pacific Islands, you are talking about different Island Nations. • Different heads of countries, from kings to presidents, etc. Even different forms of government. • Some are independent countries, yet some are under the rule of a foreign power. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • Each Island Nation has their own language. • There is not one language that is used or understood by all Pacific Islanders. • There are some similarities but each island nation has it’s own unique characteristics. • Challenge in grouping the islands as just one group, “Pacific Islanders”. ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC GREETINGS • From the Islands of Fiji “Bula Vinaka” • From the Islands of Samoa “Talofa Lava” • From the Kingdom of Tonga “Malo e Lelei” • From Chamorro “Hafa Adai” • From Tahiti “Ia Orana” • From Niue “Fakalofa atu” • From NZ Maoris “Tena Koe” • From Hawaii “Aloha” FIJI ISLANDS • Group of volcanic islands in the South Pacific, southwest of Honolulu. • Total of 322 islands, just over 100 are inhabited. • Biggest island Viti Levu, is the size of the “Big Island” of Hawaii. • Larger islands contain mountains as high as 4,000 feet. PEOPLE OF FIJI • Indigenous people are Fijians who are a mixture of Polynesian and Melanesian.
