She understood and tolerated my obsession with collecting music, and it was never a problem for her, although her own knowledge of the subject was severely limited and she preferred to spend her evenings watching the news or going out with friends while I lurked in my study, poring over sleevenotes, browsing catalogues of amp wires and varnishing my speaker stacks.
She was happy to let me spend thousands on rare Sigue Sigue Sputnik 45s, and for me to spend as much time lovingly caressing my vinyl as her.
But it couldn't last. One evening around four years ago, I returned home from a weekend spent browsing the record racks in the city with a carbootfull of new treasures, unable to contain my excitement at the prospect of placing them on the turntable and indulging myself in the way I best love. But as I entered the door, I found her waiting for me with a sad look on her face and I was stunned to hear her announce that seeing as I'd been away, having dedicated the weekend to my hobby, she wanted me to go to bed with her.
I didn't know what to say. Could she not tell that I'd been waiting for this moment all weekend? Could she not tell that all the time I'd been away from her, I'd been positively desperate to get back home so I could see those unbearably enticing knobs, that gorgeous front and the beautifully interconnected wires at the back? I'd spent far too long away from my record player and who was she to stand in my way now I finally had the chance to return to it?
This, I told her, was it. She could either acknowledge that there were more important things in life than mere family, or she could leave and never think of trying to separate me from my love ever again.
She left. I don't regret it. I have everything I need right here, and with the money I've saved now I don't have to feed her, I've managed to buy three new sets of speaker stands, two spare needles and some novelty foam to decorate the volume switch. I never realised just how wonderful single life could be.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

There's a pretty well respected theory among physicists that the other side of the universe (ie, if you take the big bang theory as acceptable then we're talking about the bits that what we know and name as the universe hasn't reached yet) is made up of what they refer to as 'fields'. When questioned a few years ago as to what these fields were made up of, or how many of these fields existed. They answered that they weren't sure, but it was almost certain they were made up of matter and that there had to be "a minimum of 38". Which was too close to 42 for my liking!
It's a fascinating area, but it doesn't half make your brain hurt.
I remember when this part of the universe was all fields.

Becoming a doctor isn't the only way to earn a hefty salary. While it's the highest-paying gig in nearly every state in America, there are other jobs that pay well, too.
» RELATED: 5 high-paying jobs you can snag in Georgia with a high school diploma
Business Insider recently examined the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment and Wage Estimate to determine the top-paying career in every U.S. state and the District of Columbia, excluding medical doctors and dentists. They examined data from May 2018, the most recent available, and looked only at occupations with at least 1,000 employees in-state.
For Georgia, chief executive officers came out on top. Business Insider found CEOs make an average annual salary of $218,590.
Overall, CEOs dominated the entire list. They raked in the most cash in 27 states, including Tennessee, Alabama, and South and North Carolina.
Airline pilots were the highest earners in Nevada, Florida and other states. They take home about $169,560 annually, according to the national average. And pharmacists, who make about $123,670 annually, were No. 1 in Mississippi, Maine and two other states.

Optical transport systems vendor PacketLight Networks has added encryption features to its PL-1000TE DWDM system. The cryptographic capabilities comply with NIST FIPS 140-2 standards and NSA Suite B requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 1GbE services.
The PL-1000TE can now support AES encryption at Layer 1 level without degrading the transmission data rate, PacketLight says. Despite the encryption, full end-to-end transparency of service data and clock with latency of less than 12 μsec for 10GbE is maintained, the company adds. The encryption option addresses confidentiality and authentication requirements while maintaining data integrity, PacketLight says.
The DWDM system can support encrypted GbE, 10GbE and 4x10G PCS lanes of 40GbE. Users can activate the encryption/decryption functionality for specific transponders. Support for 4G Fibre channel and 8G Fibre channel services is also available. Up to 10 encrypted signals can be multiplexed into a single 100G Optical Transport Network (OTN) uplink using PacketLight's PL-1000GM or PL-1000GT muxponders as well.
"We have embedded L1 encryption capabilities within the PL-1000TE compact 1U DWDM transponder product to form secured links between or within the data centers. Keeping in mind all the latest standards and requirements, we also maximized its cost-effectiveness in order that enterprises could meet the new security requirements at minimal expanse," stated Koby Reshef, PacketLight's CEO. "PacketLight's solution is transparent to the traffic without any degradation to the DWDM link performance or QoS of the data transported."

Gov. To Assess First 6 Months In Office
KSCB News - July 6, 2011 4:52 am
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is preparing to
offer a public assessment of his first six months in office.
Brownback scheduled a Statehouse news conference at 11 a.m.
Wednesday on what his office described as the progress of his
administration. He's being joined by members of his Cabinet and
other top administration officials.
He's likely to discuss balancing the state budget and efforts to
revive the economy. In addition, the state has taken steps to
address the long-term funding problems facing its public pension
But in recent weeks, economic issues have been overshadowed by
the state health department's new rules for abortion providers. A
federal judge has blocked the rules until a lawsuit involving two
of the state's three providers is resolved.

His biological mother born and died in Opava. My father had a full blood sister who his mother kept. I am trying to find any information on this family - Wranka/Wrankova. I know there was another child born that was not surrogant, her name was Ursula Wrankova. My father was born prior to the war - 1939, the first child born in 1937 and Ursula in 1945. I have been to Opava and went to the archives but not speaking the language no one could help me. I found my grandmothers grave in Opava. I am looking for my fathers sisters but I do not know their married names or where else to look. Can anyone give me some advice please, Thanks, Karen

The UNCED Environmental Conference in Rio deJaneiro 1992 has changed the world. Geoscientists entered the environmental ? eld relatively late, however, geological surveys and geoscienti?c research institutes adapted to this situation and have placed geo-environmental issues high on their agendas. These include water, soil, poverty alleviation, urbanisation, waste disposal, energy, minerals, disaster reduction and education. Although geoscientists cannot prevent nor cure all of the worlds major problems, their ability to cope with long time and wide space scales together with their advanced technologies can and must contribute to solving many of societys problems. This, however, requires a new and untraditional type of geoscientist. GEOSCIENCE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Study involves understanding of two major set of conditions: (i) physical conditions and (ii) social and cultural conditions. Physical conditions constitute mostly the abiotic attributes of the environment such as the earth material, minerals, soils, water, landforms, air that together affect growth and development of man. The social and cultural conditions include environmental parameters such as the ethics, economics, aesthetics, etc. which affect the behavior of individuals or a community. Environmental geological appraisals of a terrain recognize the potential hazards and resource utilization pattern. These Investigations are either site specific or problem specific respectively. Environmental geoscientific studies by GSI involve preparation of various thematic and derivative maps, syntheses of collateral and primary data and finally integrated comprehensive and synoptic output is generated in the form of geoenvironmental maps showing environmental hazards and the potential resource utilization pattern. Based on the land-capability assessment, a suggested landuse map is prepared for overall regional development and optimum resource utilization for sustainable development in the area. Further specific details on the various geofactor considerations and analyses of their environmental impacts are provided and discussed in the following sections. Public concern over global environmental change and the likelihood of the Earth remaining a healthy environment for future generations is commonly expressed in the phrase sustainable development. Valuable information on econometric aspects of development, specifically in developing countries is important. Because earth scientists are used to dealing both with development and with the environment and are especially capable ofviewing global
environmental change in correct spatial and timeframeworks, they are particularly well equipped to contribute to sustainable development. Requirements and issues for arriving at sustainable development often contain Earth-related aspects. Therefore, it is advisable that earth scientists are involved in realising such requirements, preferably alongside experts in other scientific and non-scientific disciplines. These requirements and issues include: water, soil, urbanisation, waste disposal, energy, minerals, and disaster reduction. Geoscientific aspects of these key requirements for sustainable development are mainly: Water In numerous recently published state-of-the-environment reports, water turns out to be the factor most limiting sustainable development. In the next decade the availability of fresh water will dictate all agendas of development, not only in developing countries, and might cause political instability in larger dry regions on Earth. Peace agreements in the Near East, for example, invariably include major chapters on regional water management. The availability of fresh potable water is seriously restricted by: 1) depletion of aquifers and 2) pollution of both surface and groundwater resources. The problem of aquifer depletion is partly caused by inadequate aquifer management (over-exploitation, poor recharge, etc.) but mainly by the fact that eversmaller quantities of fresh groundwater will have to supply more and more people on earth. As professional explorers, geoscientists can assist in mitigating aquifer depletion by identifying new fresh, often deeply seated and more remotely situated groundwater resources. Geoscientists can also be involved in upgrading groundwater management by optimizing the spatial distribution and extraction depths of groundwater wells. They are well equipped to detect and delineate pollution flumes in aquifers and their potential propagation through the system. At first sight, the role of geoscientists in preventing pollution of groundwater and surface water resources may be less obvious. However, their three-dimensional knowledge of the earth's structure, its composition and that of the sediment/rock properties, together with their knowledge on the sediment-groundwater interaction, allows them to feed groundwater-flow models that simulate flow paths with sound data and to calculate the retention capacities of strata to certain polluting elements. Geo-forecasting has become a very promising tool for water management and can lead to measures that will prevent valuable aquifers from being contaminated. Soils Agricultural soils are seriously under threat. The formation of agricultural soils is a slow process taking place at the rate of a few millimetres per year. Mans activities such as deforestation, poor or totally absent land-use management techniques (e.g. slash and burn),and inadequate or excessive use of fertilisers and agrotoxics, have resulted in extensive soil losses or soil degradation. In the Peoples Republic of China 5 billion tonnes of fertile soil is lost annually, 2 billion tonnes of which is transported by rivers and deposited in oceans or in lakes. This equals 1/12th of the worlds total. Other types of land loss are desertification and salinisation. The equivalent of 5 to 6 million hectares of soil is lost every year, making soil erosion one of the worst factors limiting sustainable development. Overall, sustainable agriculture can only be achieved when soil erosion and degradation do not exceed replacement. At human time scales and with the current practices soil has become a nonrenewable resource and a fundamental constraint to sustainable development. Geoscientists may apply their knowledge of the fluvial and marine/coastal processes to contribute to the understanding of the local and regional problems and thus predict and pinpoint jeopardized areas
of fertile land. Application of erosion models could help to design planning and management systems to prevent fluvial and coastal (soil) erosion. Urbanization 50% of the Earth population lives in cities that cover only a few percent of the total land surface of the globe. Sustainable urban development is therefore a matter of high priority on the international environmental agendas. The concentration of high-rise buildings, underground structures, steep slope cuts, excessive groundwater extraction poses large differential stresses on relatively small areas of land, causing imbalance and creating major geo-hazards. Urban geologists collect and process subsurface data and communicate their three dimensional view on the citys subsurface to urban managers and planners. When economic and legal data are added, reliable, but indicative cost/benefit analyses can be provided. Subsequently, site selection can be based on unbiased data through decision-support systems. Such systems may provide transparent tools understandable for urban managers and for the ever more concerned urban public. Urban geoscientists have joined to form the International Working Group on Urban Geology. Waste disposal Poor waste management often seriously obstructs sustainable development. The over 40-metrehigh waste dump (smoky mountain)of Manila in the Philippines presents a major threat to the environment in and around this megacity. Domestic waste is mostly stored on or near the surface near or in the immediate vicinity of urban centres. Too often such waste dumps are poorly designed and lack an adequate lining underneath the dump site and/or are situated on permeable beds allowing leachate to enter the aquifers. Studies on storing waste materials are generally limited to the engineering aspects of preselected sites. The availability of natural geological barriers preventing transport of contaminants into aquifers is taken into account only occasionally.Sustainable waste disposal is more and more based on the multi-barrier principle, taking into consideration impermeable or poorly permeable beds such as thick clay bodies, rock salt or shales as the last (natural) barrier to leachates before entering into the biosphere. This particularly applies to highly toxic radiation waste such as high-level radioactive waste. The generally very strict site-assessment procedures used for this waste category, however, often do not apply for other types of waste, even if this concerns highly dangerous and everlasting chemical waste materials. Sites for radioactive waste disposal are generally selected for logistic, administrative and political reasons. Another factor obstructing radioactive-waste storage is the policy that such waste has to be stored in a countrys or provinces own territory. There is, however, no guarantee that a suitable site can be found there and a less appropriate site may then be selected. The enormous potential environmental impact of such hazardous waste in the long term provides a good enough argument in itself to question this policy and to search for premium sites even if these are not in the national territory. If one considers the dramatically changed positions of national borders in a continent such as Europe over the past two centuries only, the current solely national studies on radioactive waste disposal which should be safe for at least 10,000 years (e.g.USA), 100,000 years (e.g. Germany, the Netherlands) or one million years (e.g. Sweden) lack a well-considered and realistic time/space concept. The study by the GSI for the best possible site for permanent storageof radioactive waste is therefore welcomed. Waste management will become increasingly important in the coming years. Although it is expected that eventually less waste will be produced per person in a more developed world, an increase in waste production in the less developed world cannot be avoided during the next few
decades. It will probably not take long before multinational companies will employ both exploration and environmental geoscientists in their efforts to find places where such waste can be stored in an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective way. Energy Non-renewable energy resources such as oil and natural gas are being gradually but irrevocably depleted. In view of the fact that the need for energy keeps pace with population growth, it is evident that the search for and wise use of energy resources deserves a prominent position in development agendas. This concern, however, is not reflected in the energy price in most countries which subsidise energy delivery through a system of low taxes. If environmental resource accounting were applied fully to oil and gas, prices would be increased considerably in e.g.the U.S.A. This, in turn, might discourage excessive and wasteful use of these valuable resources. Very large resources of black and brown coal still exist in the earth. These resources are predominantly mined and utilised in developing countries, causing massive CO2 emission. In addition, large quantities of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere by spontaneous coal combustion. Such coal firesoccur frequently in China, India, and Indonesia and consume 100200 million tonnes of black coal in China every year. Geoscientists are currently involved in combating these major environmental problems. They are also involved in studies on the storage of large volumes of this greenhouse gas in depleted natural gas reservoirs. Techniques have become available of producing natural methane gas from buried coal beds in a more environmentally friendly way or by controlled underground coal combustion. A great challenge for the earth science community in the coming decades will be the exploitation of solid methane hydrates occurring at great depths particularly in the ocean floors and under permafrost areas and holding enormous potential energy resources. In large regions of the world people rely almost entirely on wood for fuel causing deforestation which clearly has a negativeimpact on the environment through reduction of O2 production, reduction of biodiversity, increased soil loss and erosion, excessive sedimentation and landslides. Geoscientists can predict such environmental problems and assist planners to develop less harmful solutions. Minerals Governments are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of the mining industry and impose severe environmental constraints on mining activities. As a result, for instance, Canadian copper mining companies moved to Chile. Environmentally sustainable mining is expensive whereas mineral prices are still low. Only mining of high-grade ores can be economic and then only on very large scales. To find such sites requires great expertise in exploration and thus geological skills. The same applies to relatively cheap aggregates and construction materials. In densely populated countries such as the Netherlands, combined extraction pits for both clay and coarse sand are becoming increasingly common, consequently the landscape is spoilt less.To assess the geochemical impact of mining and the environmental impact of its tailings, geoscientists are needed as well. They may contribute to the development of adequate chemical, physical or biological ex-situ and in-situ remediation methods for polluted or unstable tailings. In addition, geoscientists can play a key role whenit comes to environmental monitoring because they are familiar with the geochemistry of mining. To this end it is essential to measure the original background values of the soil geochemistry. Since these are closely connected with the natural geological conditions of rocks and soils, establishing a reliable picture of the zero levels should essentially be the job of geoscientists.
Disaster reduction In the framework of the International studies of Natural Disaster Reduction of the United Nations annual reports have been compiled on the impact of the worlds natural disasters. Such reports show that in the period 19902011, more than 300,000 people were killed or reported missing as a result of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and landslides. The total economic losses caused by these disasters in that period exceeded 500 billion US$, which is about 0.2% of the worlds Gross Product. The results of assessing and monitoring the impacts of natural and maninduced disasters/hazards clearly demonstrate the need for prediction and prevention tools. As geological processes form the basis for calculating the effects of such hazards, prediction models should inevitably be based on geoscientific expertise. While such predictions were mainly qualitative in the past, an increasing number of Earth processes have been approached in a mathematical-physical way during the past decade, leading to the development of steadily improving numerical models. Such models can now simulate the future effects of certain geological processes under varying conditions. Other hazards are related to global change as a result of the increased emission of greenhouse gases. As global change problems encompass the entire Earth including its geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, an integrated approach which considers the Earth as a single system is now preferred. Geoscientists currently contribute to studies concerning the anticipated harmful effects of global change. Firstly, the climatic effects of varying amounts of such gases under natural conditions in the atmosphere during the geological past are now studied by many Quaternary geologists. Such studies have for instance resulted in considerably more precise dating of past climatic events and to a much better understanding of the natural increase and decrease of greenhouse gases in relation to glacial and warm periods both on time scales of 200,000 and 2,000 years. Another aspect of global change concerns the impact of an accelerated sea-level rise on the present-day coastal zones. In this respect it has become clear that only an integrated approach taking into account the interests of all stakeholders in such regions, can lead to reliable predictions concerning the areas which are threatened by marine flooding. Global change will not only affect sea levels but also climatic conditions in monsoon areas. Promising results have been achieved by geoscientists in studies on the Carbon Cycle which quantify the volume of Carbon lost in sinks and that produced in the sources of the Earth System as an approach to estimating the contribution of natural CO2 to the atmosphere. It is becoming increasingly clear that the great efforts in developing global climate models will have been in vain if these are not fed with and evaluated against reliable geological data. Often poor modelling results have forced modellers to contact geoscientists to provide such data. Socio-economic aspects of development Apart from the listed environmental requirements for sustainable development, several major and general socio-economic issues also need geoscientific input to achieve sustainable development. Poverty alleviation UNDP considers poverty alleviation the most important factor in achieving sustainable development. Poverty is the driving force of land degradation because it induces unsustainable land-use practices. Furthermore, real sustainable development can only be approached when ethical principles of human solidarity are applied. Poverty alleviation is often seen as a social issue only. However, several aspects of poverty mitigation, such as health and safety, should be
regarded by more physically oriented disciplines, among which are the geosciences. Several health problems are directly or indirectly related to the geological conditions of the area where people live, particularly in developing countries. Such issues are now addressed by geoscientists and the medical sector together. Education Population growth and poverty are strongly associated with illiteracy. Thus, one of the basic tools to combat poverty and population growth is elimination of illiteracy. Education is therefore one of the key elements for arriving at sustainable development. New development models requiring all available knowledge and co-operation between all target groups, have been designed in the past decade. An example of such a model is Integrated Coastal Zone Management in which all factors in the coastal zone are involved in the decision-making process. This model is fed with all kinds of information, including earth-scientific information and has a strong emphasis on environmental elements. For this shift in approach re education is needed, not only for the young generation but for people at management levels as well. A similar approach is needed for studying the impacts of Global Change on the hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. This again puts strong pressure on the educational system which should basically be modified from discipline-oriented to integrated science studies. To solve environmental problems, the geosciences should be fully integrated with other disciplines. If we would modify the educational systems and adopt new curricula, future students will become familiar with problem solving in an integrated way from the start. Value of geosciences for sustainable development The listed requirements for environmentally sustainable development show that geoscientists will have a significant role to play, both in the next decade and beyond: 1. Geoscientists can contribute to the alleviation of the anticipated shortage of fresh water by finding new underground resources, by optimising groundwater exploitation, by creating new aquifers through land reclamation and natural recharge, and by forecasting flow paths of pollutants in aquifers. 2. Geoscientists can contribute to the mitigation of the foreseen reduction in fertile land area by developing measures to prevent soil loss both as a result of erosion and of soil contamination. 3. Geoscientists can contribute to the prevention of the negative effects of uncontrolled urbanisation by finding new resources (fresh water, fertile soils, construction and energy materials, minerals, etc.) for the citizens, by predicting natural and man-induced hazards and warning the municipal authorities of unstable and/or risky areas, by assisting in the selection of optimal sites for urban expansion and urban land use and by developing urban geo-information systems and decision-support systems to assist urban planners, developers and to inform the citizens. 4. Geoscientists can contribute to selecting suitable sites for waste dumps, either underground, in the ground or on the surface, by identifying appropriate, natural, geological barriers which will last much longer than the best geotextiles, by predicting potential contamination patterns, by applying the geologically determined natural attenuation capacity of deposits in the subsurface, and in the development of geo-remediation strategies.
5. Geoscientists can contribute to solving the worlds energy problems by finding new resources, by developing methodologies for unconventional energy production in e.g. underground coal beds, by reducing wastage of energy resources during production, storage and transport, or by combating coal fires. In addition, they can contribute to mitigating the negative effects of energy production by predicting the environmental impact of the unsustainable use of energy resources, by assessing potential sites where radioactive waste or CO2 can be safely stored underground. 6. Geoscientists can continue to substantially contribute to the economy by finding new mineral resources. In addition, they can contribute to the mitigating of the negative effects of mining and mineral processing by predicting the environmental impact of such activities, by applying such information for environmentally sustainable siting of plants and (super)quarries, and by developing and applying proper (biogeo-)remediation methodologies. 7. Geoscientists can further contribute to disaster reduction by redicting geo- and man-induced hazards and their impact on society, by constructing hazard zonation maps, by alerting authorities to the effects of global change, such as geologically realistic estimates of sea-level rise and droughts. They can also contribute by developing mitigation methods and early warning systems. 8. Geoscientists can even contribute to poverty alleviation and to arrive at a better public health situation by exploring for unpolluted, fresh water resources for the poor, by promoting integrated coastal zone and land management taking into account the demands of the poor, by mitigating land deterioration resulting in higher crop yields, and to a safer housing situation by reducing potential geohazards. 9. Finally, geoscientists can contribute to improved education by supporting environmental education programmes both at grassroots level and at the level of planners and politicians, e.g. through educating local decision-makers in the geological background of natural and maninduced hazards. Increasing awareness of the essential role geosciences can play in environmental planning and management, will also contribute to the general education level of people. Geoscientists can and must contribute to solving the basic problems of mankind in the next decade, even more than today. The targets and job markets for geoscientists will shift from the traditional exploration sector towards the service sector. A new type of geoscientist is emerging: client-oriented geo-clerks with broad, multidisciplinary backgrounds including non-geoscientific topics and information technology, who will not solely focus on a geological approach for problem solving, but who will try to develop a total solution from a holistic approach.

Sustainable use of resources, natural and man-made, is the desideratum in an environmentally conscious period of human development. Wise use of water, land, forest and other common property resources, such as wet lands, lakes, roads and parks become an important task in this respect.Protection of various energy resources is equally significant element in countering wastage, indiscriminate use and unwise choices. The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation Act, 1957, ('MMDR') and the Mines Act, 1952, together with the rules and regulations framed under them, constitute the basic laws governing the mining sector in India. The relevant rules in force under the MMDR Act, are the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960, and the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules, 1988. The health and safety of the workers is governed by the Mines Rules, 1955 created under the jurisdiction of the Mines Act, 1952. The Mineral Concession Rules, 1960 outline the procedures and conditions for obtaining a Prospecting Licence or Mining Lease. The Mineral Conservation and Development Rules, 1988
lays down guidelines for ensuring mining on a scientific basis, while at the same time, conserving the environment. The provisions of Mineral Concession Rules and Mineral Conservation and Development Rules are, however, not applicable to coal, atomic minerals and minor minerals. The minor minerals are separately notified and come under the purview of the State Governments. The State Governments have for this purpose formulated the Minor Mineral Concession Rules.

There have been momentous changes in the law of the sea for the last fifty years. An almost settled branch of international law has been reopened in response to the needs of the international community to appropriate limitless resources of the sea for common good. Although the importance of sea as a means of communications has lessened in recent years, new scientific and technological developments have brought to the fore the need of devising an equitable system for the distribution of vast living and non-living resources of the sea. The problems of conservation of vast living and non-living resources are complex. States have been using the sea rather recklessly with the result that there is the danger of pollution and consequent loss of animal life and contamination of the environment. The course on the Law of the sea will, therefore, focus attention on resources of sea as common heritage of mankind. It will necessitate examinations of policy goals of various uses of the sea in the context of dwindling resources on the landmass. It will address itself to problems of conservation, pollution and equitable distribution of resources of the sea-to-sea to nations, large and small, with a seacoast or landlocked. The following syllabus prepared with this perspective will be spread over a period of one semester. Syllabus 1. Historical introduction to the law of the Sea
2. Changing concepts of Maritime Frontiers 2.1. Rights of states over territorial waters and contiguous zone 2.2. Continental Shelf Law 220 2.3. Exclusive Economic Zone
2.4. Principles for determination of maritime frontiers and Maritime Boundaries under the customary and conventional law 3. Exploitation of Deep Sea-Bed Resources.
3.1. International Sea Bed Authority, its functions and powers, Decision-making; settlementof disputes, principles governing joint ventures; transfer of data and training of personnel ofthe Authority; Problems and Perspectives. 4. Conservation of Living Resources of the High Sea: Problems of Maritime Pollution.
5. Land-locked States and the Law of the Sea 6. Sea as Common Heritage of Mankind; the Future of the Law of the Sea 7. International Sea Tribunal to Settle Dispute.

Six years ago a fire and explosion ripped through the historic district of downtown Durango, injuring as many as seven firefighters who were on the roof of the building when it exploded. One of the businesses
destroyed in the fire, Seasons Restaurant, hosts a "Burnin' Down the House" in celebration that no one was killed in the fire and explosion. This year's event packed the house to raise funds for The Hundred Club of Durango, as well as The Wounded Warrior Project/Operation Homefront. Attendees were treated to a special menu created just for this event.
