Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The action modifies chafing gear regulations that apply to all midwater trawl gear used in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery. Chafing gear is webbing or other material attached to the codend to minimize damage from rubbing against the stern ramp and from contact with the ocean floor. The proposed action is neither expected to compromise the sustainability of any target or non-target species, nor is it expected to result in significant social or economic impacts interrelated with significant natural or physical environmental effects. Increased chafing gear coverage may result in fewer small fish escaping from the codend by reducing the effective mesh size or creating the effect of a double-walled codend. Small fish include juvenile Pacific whiting and non-groundfish species such as coastal pelagic species, eulachon, and small forage fish. Eulachon is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Because vessels targeting Pacific whiting have less market opportunity for small fish, they are expected to take measures to reduce the catch of small unmarketable Pacific whiting. The catch of small non-target species, including eulachon is not expected to increase substantially. Eulachon will continue to be monitored and managed to stay within thresholds identified in the current Endangered Species Act Section 7 biological opinion for the groundfish fishery. Increased chafing gear coverage may result in midwater trawl gear being used to fish in a manner that results in more contact with ocean floor than is currently occurring. Historical data indicate that the midwater trawl gear used to target Pacific whiting does occasionally make contact with the ocean floor (approximately 8 percent of the hauls). The vulnerability of the net to damage from bottom contact means that increases in chafing gear are not likely to result in substantial increases in bottom contact. The expected impact to EFH and bottom habitat is minor"--Cover letter summary.

Book excerpt: "This document provides background information about, and analyses for, regulatory changes affecting the catch share program for the shorebased groundfish trawl fishery (a program that provides individual fishing quotas (IFQ) for the harvest of groundfish delivered to shoreside processors and bycatch of Pacific halibut). The regulatory changes would reallocate widow rockfish quota shares (QS). The proposed action would require an amendment to the regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), and must conform to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA)--the principal legal basis for fishery management within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The EEZ extends from the outer boundary of the territorial sea at three miles to a distance of 200 nautical miles from shore. In addition to addressing MSA mandates, this document serves as an environmental assessment (EA) covering the impacts of the action alternatives relative to the No Action Alternative, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended"--Introduction.

Book excerpt: This document provides background information analyses on modifications affecting regulations for the shorebased fishery using midwater gear to target Pacific whiting (whiting) as well as nonwhiting groundfish species that have been recommended by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council). The proposed action would require an amendment to the regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The proposed action must conform to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), the principal legal basis for fishery management within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends from the outer boundary of the territorial sea to a distance of 200 nautical miles from shore. In addition to addressing MSA mandates, this environmental assessment (EA) assesses the impacts of the Council's final preferred action alternative (PFMC 2012a) relative to the No Action Alternative, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing, soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a lil something like this: "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks mocha lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich." The mainstream financial gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life. Accept the Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan? Drive the Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less" and a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there. Why jobs, 401(k)s, mutual funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young. Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor. The real law of wealth: Leverage this and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you. The leading cause of poorness: Change this and you change everything. How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match. Why the guru's grand deity - compound interest - is an impotent wealth accelerator. Why the guru myth of "do what you love" will most likely keep you poor, not rich. And 250+ more poverty busting distinctions... Demand the Fastlane, an alternative road-to-wealth; one that actually ignites dreams and creates millionaires young, not old. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and find out how to live rich for a lifetime.

Download or read book The Darkness That Comes Before written by R. Scott Bakker and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mysterious traveler intervenes in an epic holy war in this “impressive, challenging debut” of the critically acclaimed fantasy epic (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The first book in R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series introduces readers to a strikingly original and engrossingly vivid new world. With its language and classes of people, its cities, religions, mysteries, taboos, and rituals, The Darkness That Comes Before has drawn comparison to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Frank Herbert’s Dune. Bakker’s Eärwa is a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both two thousand years past and two thousand years into the future. As untold thousands gather for a crusade, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus—part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence—from lands long thought dead. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.
