It uses a slightly older, less detailed version of the larger model's mesh and texture. It is also half the cost.

Wind Power Harnessing its experience, know-how and world-renowned technology in the power plant industry, Doosan was the first in Korea to develop 3MW wind power generation systems for both onshore and offshore sites. With continuous R&D, Doosan aims to grow into a global leader in spearheading green growth. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction : Wind Power
Fuel Cell Fuel cell technology makes use of the electro-chemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen to provide a constant stream of power as long as the fuel keeps coming in, making it far more stable than secondary cells, which charge and discharge power repeatedly. Fuel cells of different sizes and outputs are available for different purposes, including automotive and portable devices, and can be operated with diverse kinds of fuel. Fuel cells deliver environmentally-friendly power generation with great efficiency while generating almost no pollution. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction : Fuel Cells
Ultra Super Critical Pulverized Coal Thermal Power Plant Ultra-super-critical pulverized coal thermal power plants require higher steam pressure and a higher temperature than current critical pulverized coal thermal power plants, ensuring better efficiency and a lower CO2 footprint. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction has secured original technologies for ultra-super-critical pulverized coal thermal power plants, which previously was the domain of only a few developed countries like Japan and Germany. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction : USC(Ultra Super Critical)
Post Carbon Capture Technology Post carbon capture technology selectively captures carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel combustion emissions (nitrogen, CO2, H2O, oxygen, etc), and is highly effective in eliminating carbon dioxide, the major cause of the greenhouse effect.

Pure Oxygen Combustion Technology This technology, when combusting coal, injects oxygen exclusively rather than air in general, so that only carbon dioxide is emitted after combustion, enabling easy capture. Up to 98% of the total emission of carbon dioxide can be captured, and other harmful exhaust products, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury, can be decreased too.

Chapter 2: Ethical Principles in Government Auditing
2.01 Because auditing is essential to government accountability to the public, the public expects audit organizations and auditors who conduct their work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS) to follow ethical principles. Management of the audit organization sets the tone for ethical behavior throughout the organization by maintaining an ethical culture, clearly communicating acceptable behavior and expectations to each employee, and creating an environment that reinforces and encourages ethical behavior throughout all levels of the organization. The ethical tone maintained and demonstrated by management and staff is an essential element of a positive ethical environment for the audit organization. 2.02 The ethical principles presented in this chapter provide the foundation, discipline, and structure as well as the climate which influence the application of GAGAS. Because the information presented in this chapter deals with fundamental principles rather than specific requirements, this chapter does not contain additional requirements. 2.03 Conducting audit work in accordance with ethical principles is a matter of personal and organizational responsibility. Ethical principles apply in preserving auditor independence,17 taking on only work that the auditor is competent to perform, performing high-quality work, and following the applicable standards cited in the audit report. Integrity and objectivity are maintained when auditors perform their work and make decisions that are consistent with the broader interest of those relying on the auditors' report, including the public.
2.04 The ethical principles contained in the following sections provide the overall framework for application of GAGAS, including general standards, field work standards, and reporting standards. Each principle is described, rather than set forth as a series of requirements, so that auditors can consider the facts and circumstances of each situation within the framework of these ethical principles. Other ethical requirements or codes of professional conduct may also be applicable to auditors who conduct audits in accordance with GAGAS. 18 2.05 The ethical principles that guide the work of auditors who conduct audits in accordance with GAGAS are d. proper use of government information, resources, and position; and
2.06 The public interest is defined as the collective well-being of the community of people and entities the auditors serve. Observing integrity, objectivity, and independence in discharging their professional responsibilities assists auditors in meeting the principle of serving the public interest and honoring the public trust. These principles are fundamental to the responsibilities of auditors and critical in the government environment. 2.07 A distinguishing mark of an auditor is acceptance of responsibility to serve the public interest. This responsibility is critical when auditing in the government environment. GAGAS embody the concept of accountability for public resources, which is fundamental to serving the public interest.
2.08 Public confidence in government is maintained and strengthened by auditors' performing their professional responsibilities with integrity. Integrity includes auditors' conducting their work with an attitude that is objective, fact-based, nonpartisan, and nonideological with regard to audited entities and users of the auditors' reports. Within the constraints of applicable confidentiality laws, rules, or policies, communications with the audited entity, those charged with governance, and the individuals contracting for or requesting the audit are expected to be honest, candid, and constructive. 2.09 Making decisions consistent with the public interest of the program or activity under audit is an important part of the principle of integrity. In discharging their professional responsibilities, auditors may encounter conflicting pressures from management of the audited entity, various levels of government, and other likely users. Auditors may also encounter pressures to violate ethical principles to inappropriately achieve personal or organizational gain. In resolving those conflicts and pressures, acting with integrity means that auditors place priority on their responsibilities to the public interest.
2.10 The credibility of auditing in the government sector is based on auditors' objectivity in discharging their professional responsibilities. Objectivity includes being independent in fact and appearance when providing audit and attestation engagements, maintaining an attitude of impartiality, having intellectual honesty, and being free of conflicts of interest. Avoiding conflicts that may, in fact or appearance, impair auditors' objectivity in performing the audit or attestation engagement is essential to retaining credibility. Maintaining objectivity includes a continuing assessment of relationships with audited entities and other stakeholders in the context of the auditors' responsibility to the public.19
2.11 Government information, resources, or positions are to be used for official purposes and not inappropriately for the auditor's personal gain or in a manner contrary to law or detrimental to the legitimate interests of the audited entity or the audit organization. This concept includes the proper handling of sensitive or classified information or resources. 2.12 In the government environment, the public's right to the transparency of government information has to be balanced with the proper use of that information. In addition, many government programs are subject to laws and regulations dealing with the disclosure of information. To accomplish this balance, exercising discretion in the use of information acquired in the course of auditors' duties is an important part in achieving this goal. Improperly disclosing any such information to third parties is not an acceptable practice. 2.13 As accountability professionals, accountability to the public for the proper use and prudent management of government resources is an essential part of auditors' responsibilities. Protecting and conserving government resources and using them appropriately for authorized activities is an important element in the public's expectations for auditors. 2.14 Misusing the position of an auditor for personal gain violates an auditor's fundamental responsibilities. An auditor's credibility can be damaged by actions that could be perceived by an objective third party with knowledge of the relevant information as improperly benefiting an auditor's personal financial interests or those of an immediate or close family member; a general partner; an organization for which the auditor serves as an officer, director, trustee, or employee; or an organization with which the auditor is negotiating concerning future employment. (See paragraphs 3.07 through 3.09 for further discussion of personal impairments to independence.)
2.15 High expectations for the auditing profession include compliance with laws and regulations and avoidance of any conduct that might bring discredit to auditors' work, including actions that would cause an objective third party with knowledge of the relevant information to conclude that the auditors' work was professionally deficient. Professional behavior includes auditors' putting forth an honest effort in performance of their duties and professional services in accordance with the relevant technical and professional standards. 18. Individual auditors who are members of professional organizations or are licensed or certified professionals may also be subject to ethical requirements of those professional organizations or licensing bodies. Auditors in government entities may also be subject to government ethics laws and regulations. |

Day 3: last day helping the cats
Kathy Covey, community blogger
September 09, 2010, 5:59AM
My last day at the temporary shelter was relatively calm and easy. We fed the cats, cleaned their cages, and provided toys (aka zip ties connected to cages or those large Gatorade bottle tops) and other comfort to them. The younger cats were more relaxed and even more demanding for attention, which was not denied. There were still some...

The second day held more excitement for me and the cats. (Link to video showing activity from day two.) This was the day five local veterinarians were coming to give the cats a health check and vaccinations. The cats came from conditions that were overcrowded and dirty. Many were showing obvious signs of upper respiratory (a cat cold), all...

Dear friends,
which is the best way to inform clients about file updates? I mean, I do not always know who bought one of my items, so is there a way to inform our loyal buyers about file updates when you have no info about the person itself?
- Sold between 100 000 and 250 000 dollars
- Author has had an Item Featured
- Most Wanted Bounty Winner
- Has been a member for 2-3 years
- Bought between 10 and 49 items
- Referred between 10 and 49 users
- Contributed a Blog Post
- Interviewed on the Envato Notes blog
There is no option for informing buyers yet. Simply add to the preview or thumbnail UPDATED and also write down a short note on description page 'that this file has been updated and you can include what you modified'.
These are the best ways to inform your clients as of the moment till Envato includes an option for update-auto-batch email.
Thanks my friend!
I agree with mrcharlesbrown
This is a matter that should be looked into by envato!!! It is surely gonna rise the site's popularity even more!
@Teo: oh yes, it is! And I´m pretty sure that it´s on the top of Envatos list of improvements. What Charles wrote is the best info I´ve ever received so far, and the note of an update by auto-batch mail would be so important for all of us and so easy to implement, in my opinion. A few simple php tags, I guess? But hey, let´s keep patient and do let the guys do their work. By the way, greetings to Greece!!!
I would like to hear from a staff member if this is in fact something they're looking to (eventually) incorporating… I have looked through a couple different threads asking similar questions regarding informing customers of updates to products they've purchased. Would just be nice to know for sure and to hear any insight we're allowed to know… rather that us just guessing and assuming. I agree that this is an important feature. I flagged for a staff reply.

WV Highway Group Considers Toll, Fee Increasesfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Associated Press Web Producer: Jeff Morris Reported: Sep. 6, 2013 8:49 AM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
Members of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways are suggesting an increase in tolls and vehicle fees as part of a plan to generate $1.1 billion in funding for state infrastructure. The commission is finalizing a report that it will sent to Tomblin that will list suggestions for how West Virginia might raise road project funding. The Charleston Daily Mail reported that the commission suggests the state increase tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike, raise fees at the Division of Motor Vehicles by $77.4 million and create a $200 annual registration fee for alternative fuel vehicles. The commission's suggestions would generate just over $100 million and members believe they can generate another $1 billion by borrowing money through road bonds. Copyright 2013 Associated Press.

On February 19th, the Gillette City Council held a public hearing to consider the renewal of liquor licenses in Gillette for the licensing period of April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. During that public hearing, regional businessman, Doug Davis, talked to the council about his hopes to bring a Buffalo Wild Wings location to Gillette in 2014.
Davis informed the council of his hopes to secure a Bar & Grill Liquor License. Gillette Mayor Tom Murphy informed Davis that Buffalo Wild Wings would be very welcome in Gillette but per Wyoming State Statute, the council was not able to award a liquor license without the business having secured a physical address.
Murphy told Davis that the city currently has two Bar & Grill Liquor Licenses available, and as soon as the council has an assurance of a lease, a liquor licenses can be issued. Davis said he would like to have some assurance of his own. Davis thanked the council for their consideration, and said he looks forward to the possibility of working with them again in the future. Davis recently opened a Buffalo Wild Wings in Cheyenne as well as breaking ground in Casper, he encourages the public to check out what Buffalo Wild Wings has to offer at one of their many national locations or online.

It's possible the CCW dude could prevail in their trial. Personally, I agree it would be "reasonable".
But, I am just an old right-wing gun nut white man, reformed from a left-wing liberal "young man" by a REALLY close call.
But, in a Denver CO suburb ? This might be a big stretch to "get off scott-free". I'd guess manslaughter at a minimum.
In any case, the person would lose REALLY big-time in legal costs.

I was trying to decided between it and a 50-50 t-shirt, but after comparing the two they sent me in the mail I had to choose the beefy preshrunk 100% cotton t-shirt from Hanes. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking at purchasing t-shirts for small or large groups. The product and service was great. It is a rush order and done on time. What I like most is they are durable good T-Shirts our staff likes and what I liked least was the size of the logo on the back of the shirt. It looked a lot larger on the proof than it did on the actual T-shirt but we're happy with them nonetheless.

The rate of asset haemorrhaging of the InvestHedge Billion Dollar Club subsides to -13.5% in the first half of 2009, leaving 117 firms standing after 18 months of turmoil
Emerging slowly from its protective cocoon, the fund of hedge funds industry seems to be settling into its new body. A lithe figure of $613.17 billion in total assets at 30 June 2009 and 117 funds of hedge funds with more than $1 billion under management now make up the members of the six-monthly InvestHedge Billion Dollar Club survey.
The previously obese industry has reduced its assets more gradually than many expected in the first six months, having lost -13.47%, perhaps indicating that the worst may be over. In the first six months of the year, the remaining InvestHedge Billion Dollar Club lost $95 billion in assets with 26% of the universe being flat or showing growth in the first six months.
Almost a year ago Lehman Brothers' collapse was seen as the straw that would break the camel's back after a year long battle...

Inside the Ring: Panetta's future
Tuesday's re-election of President Obama triggered immediate speculation about the future of Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, who will turn 75 in June. Mr. Panetta, defense secretary since June 2011, has had a long career in government and is said by associates to be ready to return to private life in Northern California, where he frequently visits and owns land.
Asked about the secretary's future, Pentagon spokesman George Little told Inside the Ring:
"Panetta is honored to serve as secretary, thoroughly enjoys the job, and that's where his focus is. His eyes are now on the [Defense] Department and its missions, not on his personal future."
Pentagon insiders say Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter is known to be eager to fill the top position at the Pentagon should Mr. Panetta decide to step down. Mr. Carter was the Pentagon's acquisitions undersecretary from 2009 until October 2011, when he became the No. 2 official.
Another candidate for defense secretary is said to be Michele Flournoy, who held the post of undersecretary of defense for policy from 2009 to February.
Both Mr. Carter and Ms. Flournoy were officials during the administration of BillClinton and favor liberal defense policies similar to those of Mr. Panetta's.
Mr. Panetta said in a statement to Pentagon employees on Wednesday that throughout the presidential campaign, "we at the Department of Defense have been squarely focused on our mission of defending the nation."
"Now that the campaign is over, we will stay just as focused on that critical mission," he said, as the Pentagon prepares to grapple with a looming $660 billion cut in defense spending mandated by Congress in the coming months.
Ms. Flournoy is a supporter and friend of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who also is expected to step down after logging more than 900,000 miles of travel.
Should Mrs. Clinton move on from Foggy Bottom, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is expected to be named as her replacement.
However, Ms. Rice is likely to face a bruising confirmation battle before the Senate over her public comments calling the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, the result of spontaneous anti-U.S. demonstrations.
Defense Flexibility
Now that President Obama has won re-election, national security members and aides in Congress are bracing for the president's pre-election promise to Russian leader Dmitri Medvedev to show "more flexibility" in talks with Moscow on missile defenses and other strategic issues.
Mr. Obama was overheard during a summit meeting in Seoul in March telling Mr. Medvedev that he needed Russia to back off from applying pressure on him and his administration to make concessions in missile-defense talks on U.S. and European defenses in Europe.
The president said he needed space "particularly on missile defense" because "this is my last election … after my election, I have more flexibility."
Mr. Medvedev responded by telling Mr. Obama he would "transmit this information to Vladimir" — current Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The comments sparked widespread concern among House Republicans, including Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio and Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon of California, who sought answers from the White House on the issue but to date have received none.
The issue of a president making a secret assurance to a foreign leader is unprecedented. Yet no news outlet or reporter who has interviewed the president since the March comments has asked him what he meant by the secret promise of flexibility.
As guaranteed by the president, missile-defense talks with Russia have been on hold and are expected to resume in the coming weeks.
Future flexibility with Russia was outlined recently by Frank A. Rose, deputy assistant secretary of state for arms control, verification and compliance. He said in a September speech in Berlin that despite differences with Russia, missile-defense cooperation remains a presidential priority.
Mr. Rose said the administration "cannot agree" with Russian proposals to create "sectoral" or "joint" missile defenses because they that would undermine NATO defenses.
"Furthermore, we cannot accept Russia's demand for legally binding guarantees that our missile defenses will not threaten Russia's strategic deterrent," he said.
"Russia's demand that such guarantees include a set of 'military-technical criteria' would create limitations on our ability to develop and deploy future missile-defense systems against the evolving ballistic-missile threats presented by Iran and North Korea."
He insisted the United States would not place "artificial limits on our ability to defend ourselves, our allies, and our partners."
However, the administration is set to agree to a "political framework for cooperation" that would include a statement that U.S. and NATO missile defenses are not "oriented toward Russia," he stated.
Mr. Rose said one area of growing cooperation was allowing Russia to join a regional missile-defense exercise with NATO held earlier this year.
Other "ideas and approaches for transparency" were made to Moscow as part of confidence-building measures he did not specify.
Congress recently passed legislation blocking the administration from sharing classified missile-defense data with the Russians.
China brass
U.S. intelligence agencies are closely studying the new military lineup at the top ranks of the People's Liberation Army.
Two new Chinese military leaders were announced Sunday for the most powerful military posts in the communist system: vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission, the organ that holds ultimate political power referred to by founder Mao Zedong as "the barrel of a gun."
Commission vice chairmen in the past almost exclusively were chosen from the army's infantry forces.
But the new commission vice chairmen, Gen. Fan Changlong, until recently commander of the Jinan military region, and Gen. Xu Qiliang, a former air force commander, represent a major shift for the party-run People's Liberation Army.
Gen. Fan is an artillery advocate, and Gen. Xu is an air-power specialist. It also was the first time a regional commander, Gen. Fan, was moved directly to the vice chairmanship without first spending time as one of the 12 members of the military commission.
According to state media, the appointments reflect Chinese military reform efforts aimed at shifting from traditional ground-force-dominated troops to what Beijing calls "informationized" forces that employ high-technology weapons, intelligence and other military capabilities similar to those used by the U.S. military.
Gens. Fan and Xu will be in charge of all Chinese military operations once the two men they are replacing, Gen. Guo Boxiong and Gen. Xu Caihou, leave the commission following this week's major 18th Communist Party Congress.
The new officers are a sign China's military forces will continue to emphasize missiles and air power. Chinese missile forces are called the 2nd Artillery Corps.
The last remaining leadership question is who will become the commission chairman. In the past, outgoing Party leader Jiang Zemin held on to the chairmanship for two years, until it eventually was taken by current chairman and party leader Hu Jintao.
Speculation from China has hinted that Mr. Hu may step down from the military commission right away, enabling party successor, current Vice President Xi Jinping, to take it without delay.

Salmonid Stock Inventory (SaSI)
What is SaSI?
Washington's eleven species and subspecies of native salmonid fish constitute a biological resource of spectacular commercial and cultural importance. Unfortunately, this resource is under heavy pressure from human population growth and development. Urban and industrial land conversion, forestry and agricultural practices, water diversion, municipal water demands, overfishing, and hydropower development have contributed to the decline of several salmonid stocks. A large recovery effort at the local, state, and federal level is currently underway to prevent further declines and improve the condition of already imperiled stocks.
An invaluable tool in the process of restoring stocks to healthy and productive levels is the Salmonid Stock Inventory (SaSI). SaSI is a standardized, uniform approach to identifying and monitoring the status of Washington's salmonid stocks. The inventory is a compilation of data on all wild stocks and a scientific determination of the status of each stock as: healthy, depressed, critical, extinct, or unknown. SaSI thus provides a basis for prioritizing recovery efforts and measuring the results of recovery actions. SaSI is a cooperative product of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and tribal co-managers.
SaSI development began in 1992 as an effort by 20 western Washington native tribes and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's predecessor agencies, the Washington Department of Fisheries and the Washington Department of Game. At that time the inventory was called the Salmon and Steelhead Stock Inventory (SASSI). The SASSI documents produced in 1993-4 totaled some 2600 pages and described and categorized the status of 435 salmon and steelhead stocks.
In 1997 the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife produced an additional volume on bull trout and Dolly Varden and, with this inclusion of salmonid fishes which were neither salmon nor steelhead, the inventory was renamed the Salmonid Stock Inventory (SaSI). The bull trout/Dolly Varden inventory was updated in 1998 and a coastal cutthroat trout stock inventory was completed in 2000.
The co-managers' original intent was to regularly update and revise SaSI documents, and with the 1999 creation of the Salmonid Stock Conservation Biology Unit in WDFW's Fish Program a comprehensive updating and revision of the SaSI documents was completed in 2002. New data handling and reporting protocols finalized in 2008 mean that SaSI can now be updated by WDFW staff as new information about a given stock becomes available, rather than waiting several years for a comprehensive update. These updates are then immediately available to the public and other scientists through SalmonScape or direct data requests.
What is the Current SaSI Understanding of Stock Status?
The 1993-1994 SASSI documents recognized 435 stocks of salmon and steelhead. SaSI defines a stock as a group of fish that return to spawn in a given area at the same time and that are, for the most part, reproductively isolated from other such groups. A stock may include several local spawning populations. A 'run' of fish may include more than one stock returning at the same time but destined for different spawning grounds . The 2002 update recognized an additional 54 stocks for a total of 489 salmon and steelhead stocks. The 1998 bull trout/Dolly Varden stock inventory recognized another 74 stocks. Bull trout and Dolly Varden are taxonomically distinct species but are difficult to distinguish in the field in Washington, and no attempt was made to separate them in the stock inventory. The 2000 coastal cutthroat trout stock inventory recognized 38 stocks. The number of stocks in each category (defined below) is presented in the table below.
A total of 598 stocks have been identified. Of these, 180 stocks (30%) were rated as Healthy, 132 stocks (22%) were rated as Depressed, 26 (4%) were rated as Critical, and 251(42%) were of Unknown status. The percentage of stocks of Unknown status varies considerably, from 10% in Chinook to 78% in coastal cutthroat trout.
Critical stocks are those that have declined to the point that the stocks are in danger of significant loss of genetic diversity, or are at risk of extinction. Stocks now listed under the Endangered Species Act are in red type.
Ahtanum Creek -- bull trout Box Canyon Creek -- bull trout Chewuch River -- spring Chinook Clearwater River -- spring/summer Chinook Crow Creek -- bull trout Deschutes -- coho Discovery Bay -- coho Dungeness River -- Chinook Dungeness River (lower) -- pink Elwha River -- pink Entiat River -- spring Chinook Gold Creek (Yakima) -- bull trout Jimmycomelately Creek -- summer chum Kachess River -- bull trout Lake Washington -- winter steelhead Lilliwaup Creek -- summer chum Little Wenatchee River -- spring Chinook Lost River -- spring Chinook Methow River -- spring Chinook Mid Hood Canal -- Chinook North Fork/Middle Fork Nooksack River -- Chinook South Fork Nooksack River -- Chinook Teanaway River, North Fork -- bull trout Twisp River -- spring Chinook White (Puyallup) River -- spring Chinook White (Wenatchee) River -- spring Chinook Wind Tule River -- fall Chinook Yakima River -- bull trout
What are the Extinct Stocks?
Extinct stocks are those that are no longer present in their original range or as a distinct stock elsewhere. Individuals of the same species may exist in very low numbers on the spawning groups, consistent with straying from other stocks. SaSI does not identify stocks that went extinct in the distant past, but 9 stocks were determined to have gone extinct during recent times. Note that for many of the summer chum stocks listed programs are currently being administered to reestablish viable stocks from genetically similar brood stock.
Anderson Creek -- summer chum Asotin Creek -- spring Chinook Big Beef Creek -- summer chum Chambers Creek -- summer chum Chimacum Creek -- summer chum Dewatto River -- summer chum Finch Creek -- summer chum Skokomish Creek -- summer chum Tahuya River -- summer chum
Other Stock Classifications
Healthy: 30% of the stocks were found to be healthy. The term 'healthy' covers a wide range of actual conditions, from robust to those without surplus production for harvest. Just because a stock is listed as healthy does not necessarily mean managers have no current concerns or that production levels are adequate. Some SaSI stocks listed as healthy are in fact listed under the Endangered Species Act because listings are made on stock groups called evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). Also, keep in mind that most stock determinations were made in 2002, and that status of some stocks may have changed since then.
Depressed: A depressed stock is one whose production is below expected levels, based on available habitat and natural variation in survival rates, but above where permanent damage is likely. 22% of stocks were determined to be depressed.
Unknown: For many stocks, there simply is insufficient information to rate them. Many of these are historically small populations and could be especially vulnerable to any negative impacts. There is an immediate need to collect more information on them.
