Extractions: of The University of Adelaide Harry Maude, like many of his and earlier generations, had read and responded to the timeless appeal of the novels of Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Stoddard, Jack London and Louis Becke, and been fired with a passion to experience the romance of the South Seas: Brought up on a diet of The Swiss Family Robinson and Ballantyne's Coral island, and later on Stevenson, Melville and Stoddard, with Stewart's Handbook of the Pacific Islands under my pillow, I had only one idea in life and that was to go out to the South Seas and stay there. He was fortunate therefore that in 1928, the year he commenced reading for an Honours degree in Anthropology at Cambridge University, students were for the first time permitted to specialise in India and the South Pacific as an alternative to Africa. In that year he read as much as he could on Pacific anthropology, laying the foundations of his library with early purchases by authors like Rivers, Haddon and Malinowski. These did not dispel his own vision of the South Seas and on graduation Maude nominated the remote Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony - "where Melville found his Mardi and Stackpole his exemplar of the blue lagoon" - as his sole choice in his application for a cadetship in the Colonial Administrative Service.

Extractions: Introduction The Pacific Islands region (30 million km of ocean and 23 countries and territories) is host to the most productive tuna fishing grounds in the world, supplying over 50 percent of the world's canning tuna. The total land area of 0.5 million km (87% in Papua New Guinea) supports a population of slightly less than 6 million (of which 67% are also in Papua New Guinea). The smallest States in terms of land area are Nauru and Tuvalu, which have a total of 21 km and 26 km of land respectively. However, on a global scale, the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of the small island States of the region are large, covering 19.8 million km (excluding Australia and New Zealand). Kiribati's zone covers almost 3.6 million km and that of the Federated States of Micronesia, 2.9 million km Approximately 50-60 percent of the total tuna catch is taken within the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) member countries. Since 1994, the FFA member countries have been discussing with their distant water fishing nation (DWFN) partners how to jointly manage the 40-50 percent of tuna being caught in the high seas and in the waters of non-FFA members. In September 2000 these discussions resulted in the adoption of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the western and central Pacific, that will place increased MCS responsibilities on FFA member countries.

Extractions: by Miriam Wasserman PDF version, including tables and charts The first strike against terrorism after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was a financial one. Not two weeks had passed since the attacks when President Bush signed an executive order freezing the U.S. assets of 27 entities that included terrorist organizations, individual terrorist leaders, a corporation alleged to be a front for terrorism, and several nonprofit organizations. In the days and weeks that followed, policies to impede the covert flow of illicit funds through the global financial system were among the measures at the heart of Congressional debates on how to fight terrorism. Even before September 11, banks and other financial and nonfinancial institutions in the United States had been required to keep increasingly detailed records of financial transactions and report suspicious dealings. International organizations have worked on designing common standards to fight money laundering and have begun to pressure countries with lax regulations to adopt stricter laws.
Local And Regional Book Publishing - Paper For 1997 Waigani Seminar First, I give a brief history of book publishing in the Pacific Islands. My data is scare on Micronesia excluding Kiribati and nauru because I have not http://www.pngbuai.com/600technology/information/waigani/book-publishing/WS97-se
Extractions: Publications Fellow, Institute of Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific, presented at 1997 Waigani Seminar I analyse book publishing in five phases, which have overlapped. None of these phases has ended or is likely to end. These phases are publishing by religious organizations, colonial governments, independent governments, transnational agencies (regional and international governmental and non-governmental organizations), and individuals and firms. Religious organizations Member of the London Missionary Society began publishing in the Society Islands in 1817; the first publication was a spelling book. Soon afterward, publishing by the LMS and other religious orders occurred in other islands: 1822 in Hawaii; 1831 in Tonga; 1834 in the Cook Islands; 1837 in the Gambier Islands; 1839 in Fiji; 1844 in Wallis; 1848 in Vanuatu; 1852 in the Loyalty Islands; 1854 in New Caledonia; 1856 in the Caroline Islands; 1860 in the Marshall Islands and 1863 in the Gilbert Islands (Lingenfelter 1967). Many church histories contain references to their publishing activities. Because churches were involved not only in religious proselytizing but also, as importantly, in teaching literacy and numeracy, then later subject matter, they produced grammars, readers and textbooks. (Note above that the first publication was a spelling book). Contrary to what might be expected for early efforts among small, semi-literate populations, the print runs of these early books were quite large: e.g., from 1817 to 1822 Ellis printed 20,000 books (Lingenfelter 1967:24).

Extractions: The original inhabitants of Kiribati are Gilbertese, a Micronesian people. Approximately 90% of the population of Kiribati lives on the atolls of the Gilbert Islands. Although the Line Islands are about 2,000 miles east of the Gilbert Islands, most inhabitants of the Line Islands are also Gilbertese. Owing to an annual population growth rate of around 2.5% and severe overcrowding in the capital on South Tarawa, a program of migration has been implemented to move nearly 5,000 inhabitants to outlying atolls, mainly in the Line Islands. The Phoenix Islands have never had any permanent population. A British effort to settle Gilbertese there in the 1930s failed due to lack of water. A new program of settlement to the Phoenix Islands was begun in 1995. ...
