Download or read book Salmonid Field Protocols Handbook written by David H. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first publication to collect, standardize, and recommend a scientifically rigorous set of field protocols for monitoring and assessing salmon and trout populations. Includes five additional techniques that can be used with any of the 13 principle methods to supplement information gathered.Over four dozen fisheries experts throughout the U.S. Pacific Northwest and beyond contributed their time to pick, write, and review the most reliable protocols for enumerating salmonids in the field. Presented in an easy to use format, each of the 18 peer-reviewed protocols covers objectives, sample design, data handling, personnel and operational requirements, and field and office techniques, including survey forms.Standardized monitoring protocols will improve data reliability, maximize opportunities for data sharing and data set comparability, and ultimately improve the ability to assess status and trends. The Handbook will also support consistency in data collection for salmonids at the international level.

Download or read book A Road Out of Naknek written by Keith Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While growing up in Naknek, a remote commercial salmon-fishing town in southwest Alaska, Keith began running as a way to deal with a feeling of isolation and restlessness. As an adult, he has left Naknek, moving from place to place, job to job, and adventure to adventure. All the while, he competes in a number of long-distance races of up to 100 miles. Running provides him a time for reflection and a sense of inner clarity that nothing else seems to offer-- but as life moves forward, he continues to return to Naknek every summer for the commercial fishing season.A Road out of Naknek predominately moves in chronological order through different stages of a life. We are brought along a journey of contemplative exploration, inspiring us to strive toward a greater understanding through the biological cycle of salmon, retreading the same path on a long-distance run, and the power and inevitability of the tide.

Download or read book Dear Chairwoman written by Syvliane Grant and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEDICATED TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN BOARD LEADERSIn 2018, California passed a senate bill (SB 826) to require publicly held companies headquartered in CA to have at least one woman on their board by 2020. In 2020, Nasdaq proposed a mandate that would require listed companies to have at least two diverse board members with one member who identifies as female. Initiatives like these are helping advance gender parity on boards in many regions, not just the U.S. In late 2020, women held 22.6% of the board seats on the Russell 3000 for the first time, a 6.5 point jump over the past 4 years.Zooming out to the global scale, the picture is similarly improving. In 2020, about 23% of board seats globally were held by women, compared to 20% in 2018. Yet...at the time of this writing, 10% of large global companies do not have a single woman on their board. And the percent of women who chair boards is dramatically smaller. Among the largest 500 public U.S. companies by revenue the share of women who chaired boards remained stagnant at 7.4%. Notably, of those women who chair boards, few of them use the term Chairwoman in their bios or LinkedIn profiles-opting for monikers Chairman, or Board Chair, or occasionally Chairperson. This book features the extraordinary voices and stories of women leaders from around the world who have trailblazed to the board room, as letters to the next generation of women in business and government. With the salutation "Dear Chairwoman," these letters are infused with the energy to inspire young women to both pursue board governance early, and to claim the 'Chairwoman' title in taking the senior-most seat in the Board Room.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trop souvent j’ai oublié qu’une seule chose est nécessaire. Jésus était là qui m’invitait à le contempler, à me tenir à ses pieds, simple comme un enfant, uniquement occupé de sa Sainte Face, attentif au regard dont Il m’illuminait l’âme. Mais moi, croyant le mieux servir si je m’agitais autour de lui, j’ai substitué ma volonté à la sienne. Je me suis affairé, çà et là, dans l’assemblée des fidèles ; j’ai prétendu me distinguer parmi les autres ; j’ai multiplié mes empressements comme pour Lui faire valoir mon zèle. Alors, sous l’apparence d’une activité sanctifiée, mon âme se ternit comme un miroir où s’étale la bave du Vieux Serpent. Ce n’était plus le Maître que je regardais, c’était moi-même avec mon sale orgueil. Quand mon âme, infatuée, dénombrant, avec complaisance, ses sollicitudes présentes et à venir, toute trépidante de pensées vaniteuses, est revenue s’agenouiller devant Jésus — voici qu’Il s’était en allé… Effaré, plein de désarroi, je l’ai cherché aux profondeurs de mon être. Écartant les formes et les images du monde, j’ai voulu retrouver cette flamme secrète qu’il m’avait donnée comme un reflet de l’étoile rédemptrice qui brille dans ses yeux. Elle s’était éclipsée. Quoi m’écriai-je, n’a-t-il pas dit : — Si quelqu’un m’aime, je viendrai en lui et je ferai en lui ma demeure ? Je n’ai donc pas su l’aimer de la façon dont il le demande ? Sa voix me répondit, très lointaine : — Le feu était ardent mais il ne s’élevait pas sans fumée. Puis j’entendis l’écho de ses pas s’affaiblir et se perdre dans la distance. Et je connus cette angoisse : la nuit de l’esprit par l’absence de Jésus. Parmi les ombres froides de cette nuit désolée, je fus dans un désert où il n’y avait plus de chemins ni de poteaux indicateurs. Mon seul Guide étant parti, j’errais, horriblement solitaire, comme au hasard. J’essayais de prier, mais toutes mes prières, en vain dardées vers le ciel, retombaient autour de moi, comme une poignée de sable sur une terre à jamais aride : elles se dispersaient au souffle des vents âpres qui balaient cette noire étendue. Si je faisais effort pour les renouveler, je ne parvenais à les articuler qu’avec ennui et dégoût. Je tentais de me réfugier dans l’Évangile, verger miraculeux où, naguère, Jésus m’avait permis de récolter les fruits suprasubstantiels de son enseignement. Mais il me sembla que c’était un enclos où ne végétaient que des arbres stériles. Bientôt il me devint impossible de prier ou de concevoir une fin à cet abandon. Le désert intérieur reculait ses limites à l’infini ; les ténèbres devenaient de plus en plus épaisses. Elles pesaient si fort que mon âme fléchit. Gisante sur le sol, ne pouvant même pas pleurer, suant une sueur sanglante, elle demeurait inerte dans le silence affreux que déchirait parfois le rire funèbre de celui qui se nomme : le père de la désespérance éternelle.

Download or read book Northern Ethnographic Landscapes written by Igor Krupnik and published by Alaska Smithsonian Institute Arctic. This book was released on 2004 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many northern nations have long-established policies for the documentation and protection of historical monuments, archaeological sites, old churches and cemeteries, and other historic sites on the landscape. Little is known, however, about the knowledge, memory, and historical value of the landscape in northern indigenous cultures, and even less has been done to build the legal and policy foundation to preserve this heritage for future generations. Northern Ethnographic Landscapes reviews current progress in this field across the circumpolar nations of Canada, the U.S. (Alaska), northern Russia, Norway, and Iceland. Contributors to this pioneering volume address the role of traditional subsistence activities, memory, rituals and sacred sites, place names, oral tradition, and personal stories that keep northern communities attached to their native lands. Featuring over 120 photographs from across the Arctic, this volume will appeal to residents of the North, professionals in heritage and landscape preservation, and scholars and students in Native studies, archaeology, oral history, and cultural anthropology.
