Maryland commercial fisheries statistics, 1951-1952

This bulletin is the third of a series begun in 1948, presenting detailed data on the commercial fin-fishery of Maryland. A full description of the techniques of collection and tabulation were included in the first bulletin [Publication 69], and inasmuch as identical procedures have been employed throughout the program, further mention of methods is not made. As in past years, records were received on a voluntary basis from approximately 94% of all licensed fishermen. Most of the records were submitted in the form of weekly or monthly summaries. The statistics set forth were derived from records obtained only from licensed commercial fishermen and contain no data pertaining to small unlicensed units of fishing gear, or to the sport fishery.

East African Fisheries Research Organization Annual Report 1951

The examination of a considerable amount of data has led to the conclusion that Lake Victoria should be considered as many lakes within a lake. This is not a vague and seemingly obvious remark based on the superficial observation that it is a very large lake containing numerous islands and with a highly indented coastline, and therefore providing variable local conditions. Such local conditions would exist in any lake whose basin departed from a simple geometric form. But evidence has now been collected to show that really significant differences occur between different regions within the lake. These differences are apparent from a variety of data, including the nature of the bottom deposits, the chemical and hydrological condition of the water, the amount and kind of plankton and the distribution and abundance of the fauna. Our findings are as yet somewhat sketchy, and it will be a long time before it will be possible to draw an adequate picture of the various regions of the lake; it is however, of great value to have reached a position enabling us to form this general concept. The most striking and definite evidence is derived, as might be expected, from hydrological data. Details of this work are contained in the hydrological section of this report. Any data recorded below should be considered as applying only to the particular areas mentioned. In other words it would, to draw an obvious example be wrong to suppose that because fish grow at a particular rate in one part of the lake they will grow at the same rate or to the same size in other regions of the lake.

Northern Ireland, America and the emerging church movement: Exploring the significance of Peter Rollins and the Ikon collective

The Emerging Church Movement (ECM) is a primarily Western religious phenomenon, identifiable by its critical ‘deconstruction’ of ‘modern’ religion. While most prominent in North America, especially the United States, some of the most significant contributors to the ECM ‘conversation’ have been the Belfast-based Ikon Collective and one of its founders, philosopher Peter Rollins. Their rootedness in the unique religious, political and social landscape of Northern Ireland in part explains their position on the ‘margins’ of the ECM, and provides many of the resources for their contributions. Ikon’s development of ‘transformance art’ and its ‘leaderless’ structure raise questions about the institutional viability of the wider ECM. Rollins’ ‘Pyrotheology’ project, grounded in his reading of post-modern philosophy, introduces more radical ideas to the ECM conversation. Northern Ireland’s ‘Troubles’ and ‘marginal’ location provides the ground from which Rollins and Ikon have been able to expose the boundaries of the ECM and raise questions about just how far the ECM may go in its efforts to transform Western Christianity.

Stiftsherren und Vikare des Kollegiatstifts St. Peter und Paul in Zeitz 1400–1564.

Der hier publizierte Personenkatalog ist Teil des Anhangs der im Januar 2008 von Matthias Ludwig an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg eingereichten Magisterarbeit „Das Personal der Naumburger Domkirche und der Zeitzer Stiftskirche 1400–1564. Ein prosopographischer Beitrag zur mitteldeutschen Stiftskirchenforschung“. Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit war die Frage nach der Zusammensetzung der beiden geistlichen Gemeinschaften in Naumburg und Zeitz hinsichtlich eines vorgegebenen Rasters, bestehend aus den Kriterien Herkunft, Standeszugehörigkeit, Bildung, Karriereprofil, Weihegrade und personelle Netzwerke. Das zugrunde liegende biografische Material für Zeitz wurde vor allem aus der stiftischen Überlieferung selbst erhoben, deren wesentlicher Träger das Archiv des ehemaligen Kollegiatstifts ist, das heute zum Bestand des Stiftsarchivs und der Stiftsbibliothek Zeitz gehört. Es umfasst Angaben zu insgesamt 277 Stiftsherren und Vikaren, die für den Zeitraum von 1400 bis 1564 nachgewiesen werden konnten.
