Kathi loves the opportunity to share this passion through the stories she writes for her column, "Voices from the Grave" in the Rock River Times and the stories she tells on her Haunted Rockford Tours. She serves on the Board of the Rockford Historical Society, has worked at the Rockford Public Library for years and loves sharing her enthusiasm for history and reading in any way possible. Her first book, Murder and Mayhem in Rockford Illinois" was published in 2015 and her next book, "Haunted Rockford" is scheduled for release this fall.
Sara Bowker has had an interest in the paranormal and spirituality for most of her life. Though she is hesitant to label herself a psychic or medium, both are true and she has found that, as time goes on, her abilities grow, change, and develop further. Whether she is passing a message to a person from a deceased loved one, or pointing them in a direction that helps further their own spiritual growth, Sara sees her gift as a blessing. Her desire to help others connect and understand the world beyond this one isn't so much to prove that spirits exist, but rather to open them up to the possibility that we are more than just terrestrial beings. She is grateful to be able to use her gifts in this way, to help others, and to strengthen her own faith in something greater.

During January-June 1994, an experimental fishery was conducted on Georges Bank in the expanded portion of Area II, an area closed to fishing during that period. ("Area II" refers to just the expanded portion of Area II unless noted otherwise.) Purpose of the experimental fishery was to monitor the catch and bycatch of Atlantic cod and haddock in Area II during its closure. During the fishery, 12 vessels from five New England ports made 14 trips, totaling 522 tows and 1881.9 hr fished (gear on bottom). All trips were conducted with Northeast Fisheries Science Center scientific observers on board. Observers recorded data on catches, discards, fishing effort, and gear characteristics, and collected size-frequency samples of haddock and other species.
Vessels were not restricted to fishing solely in the experimental area; all trips but one fished both inside and outside Area II. Fishing effort in Area II was twice as great as that outside the area. Within Area II, the majority of tows were made in the northwest corner of the area and along the north-south boundary separating the expanded area from the original area of Area II. Fishing effort was also high along the U.S.-Canadian maritime boundary. Effort outside Area II was dispersed with no clear concentrations.
Within Area II, catches from observed tows totaled 474,491 lb. Catches of the 13 groundfish species covered by the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (hereafter referred to as "groundfish FMP species") constituted 70% (333,366 lb) of the Area II total. Haddock catches (60,934 lb) accounted for 13% of total catches and 18% of the catch of groundfish FMP species. Atlantic cod was the dominant species taken in Area II, accounting for 34% (161,997 lb) of total catches and 49% of groundfish FMP catches.
Outside Area II, observed catches totaled 135,250 lb, of which 66% were groundfish FMP species (88,875 lb) and 6% were haddock (8098 lb).
Catch rates, expressed as catch per unit of effort (CPUE; lb/hr fished), in Area II were considerably higher than those outside the area. Haddock CPUE was 205% greater inside Area II than outside. CPUEs within Area II were also higher for yellowtail flounder (178%), American plaice (95%), winter flounder (68%), Atlantic cod (39%), pollock (31%), ocean pout (30%), windowpane (25%), and red hake (25%). Of the 13 groundfish FMP species, only witch flounder, Acadian redfish, white hake, and silver hake CPUEs were higher outside Area II than inside.
During January-March, haddock catches in Area II were low, accounting for less than 2% of total catches in the area. During April-June, however, haddock accounted for 16% of total catches in Area II; in May and June (when haddock catches and CPUE peaked), haddock accounted for 34% of total catches in Area II and 46% of groundfish FMP catches. Had an open fishery for mixed groundfish been conducted in the expanded portion of Area II during April-June, total haddock catches would have been extremely high. The largest individual tows of haddock occurred in late June, indicating that haddock were still aggregated in early summer.
Length-frequency compositions of species were similar inside and outside Area II, with discarding consistent with prevailing minimum size regulations or market demand. For haddock, however, large mature fish (>23 inches) constituted a greater proportion of catches inside Area II than outside.
Given that Atlantic cod and haddock together accounted for nearly half (47%) of the total experimental fishery catches in the expanded portion of Area II, and that both of these stocks on Georges Bank are presently at record-low levels of abundance, maintaining the enlarged Area II seasonal closure in 1995 (and thereafter) is prudent as one component of a suite of conservation measures aimed at eliminating the overfished conditions of these stocks.
Since 1970, a seasonal closure of the northeast corner of Georges Bank has been implemented to protect spawning concentrations of haddock. This spawning area closure (originally designated as Area B, but subsequently referred to as Area II) was first enacted by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) in March and April 1970 (Figure 1A). The closure prohibited "fishing with gear capable of catching demersal species" (International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries 1969), and was designed to reduce haddock catches and to supplement existing catch limitations by spreading catches throughout the year (Halliday 1988). Fishermen's support for such closures has traditionally been very strong; in fact, enactment of the haddock spawning closure in 1970 by ICNAF has been attributed to the insistence of U.S. fishermen (Halliday 1988).
Both the United States and Canada retained use of the ICNAF haddock spawning area fishery closures after extension of fishery jurisdictions in 1977, with minor adjustments in gear restrictions and closure duration (Clark et al. 1982). After 1971, duration of the Area II closure was lengthened by both countries to include March-May. In October 1984, delimitation of the U.S.-Canadian maritime boundary subdivided Area II between the United States and Canada. Nonetheless, the Area II closure has since been independently maintained by both countries with little change. Since 1985, Canada has continued to close its sector of Area II to fishing during March-May. Similar closures were enacted in U.S. Area II waters in 1985 and 1986. In 1987, the United States--under provisions of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (hereafter referred to as the "groundfish FMP")--lengthened the duration of the Area II closure to include February-May. This 4-mo closure was maintained annually through 1993 in the U.S. portion of Area II.
Effective 1 January 1994, a revised U.S. management program was implemented for groundfish (i.e., Amendment 5 to the groundfish FMP). As one part of a suite of conservation measures to "eliminate the overfished condition of the principal groundfish stocks" (New England Fishery Management Council 1993), the Area II seasonal closure was extended spatially and temporally. Area II was expanded by 20' longitude to the west and 15' latitude to the south (Figure 1B), and the closure implemented for 6 mo, from 1 January through 30 June. Rationale for this time/area extension was to provide additional protection to concentrations of haddock in the area, viz.In the case of the expansion of Area II, significant landings of haddock are reported from the area around the current [pre-1994] boundary line and when the area is opened. There are reports of illegal fishing just over the boundary during the closure. Haddock that are aggregated to spawn in this area are extremely susceptible to being targeted, particularly around the margins of the area and upon the termination of the closure. Based onhistorical landings, nearly one quarter of the total landings of haddock are caught within the area included in the proposed expansion during the closure, and about one third of haddock landings are caught within the expanded area during January through June. Based on an analysis of the fishing effort in the area and displacing that effort to other areas in the region with the next-highest catch rates in the 1988-90 period, the haddock that would have been saved amounts to 21% of the total landings of haddock while the landings of other groundfish would have increased by 1 percent. Without calculating for displaced effort, the haddock savings would have amounted to 33 percent and other groundfish species to about one percent of the total landings (Ham et al., 1991). (New England Fishery Management Council 1993).
The 1994 regulations prohibited any fishing in Area II during the closure period, except for vessels using pot gear to fish for American lobsters and for vessels using dredges to catch sea scallops. Retention of any haddock caught incidentally by scallop dredge vessels was not permitted.
Concurrent with enactment of the expanded Area II closure in 1994, an experimental fishery program was established. This fishery was authorized as a research exemption under the groundfish FMP, and allowed a restricted number of trawl vessels to fish in the newly-expanded, L-shaped portion of Area II during the closure period, provided that scientific observers were carried aboard the vessels. Purpose of the experimental fishery was to monitor the catch and bycatch of Atlantic cod and haddock in the expanded area during the January-June closure. Additional objectives were to: 1) assess whether a limited trawl fishery for Atlantic cod (and other groundfish) could be prosecuted in the expanded area without incurring significant bycatches of haddock; and 2) determine when concentrations of spawning and post-spawning haddock no longer resided in the expanded area.
In this report, we summarize and evaluate the performance of the 1994 experimental fishery using tow-by-tow data collected by scientific observers placed aboard each vessel in the experiment. Information is provided on total catches, total fishing effort, species composition, discarding practices, size-frequency composition of the landings and discards, and spatial and temporal trends in catch, effort, and CPUE. Attention is focused on haddock and the 12 other species covered by the groundfish FMP (i.e., Atlantic cod, pollock, yellowtail flounder, winter flounder, witch flounder, windowpane, American plaice, Acadian redfish, white hake, red hake, silver hake, and ocean pout), although data are provided on all species caught in the experimental fishery. Comparisons by species and month are made between catches taken inside and outside Area II. We also report the results of two sea sampling trips made on Georges Bank in July 1994 after Area II was re-opened for fishing.
The operational plan for the experimental fishery required deployment of scientific observers aboard commercial vessels authorized to fish in the expanded portion of Area II. A limited number of trawl vessels were solicited to participate voluntarily in the experiment. Vessel and observer schedules were coordinated to ensure that all scientific data collection needs would be met.
Industry participation was initiated with inquiries to vessel owners and captains who had landed trips from the expanded area during the preceding winter-spring season. Prospective participants were briefed on the purpose, design, and administrative requirements of the experiment. All vessels licensed to fish in the groundfish fishery, however, received written notification in December 1993 that an experimental fishery would be conducted and that participating vessels would be required to take approved observers and submit logbooks. The number of participants in the experimental fishery were limited to those required to keep pace with the scheduled 2-4 trips per month.
Once a vessel was selected to participate in the experimental fishery, an "Experimental Fishing Certificate for the Expanded Portion of Closed Area II" was issued and arrangements made to provide observer coverage. The certificate was hand-delivered to the vessel captain, at which time the objectives and procedures of the experimental fishery program were discussed. Any questions or concerns on the part of the captain or crew were addressed. While fishing in the experimental area, each participating captain agreed to the following conditions:
- The vessel could fish anywhere within the expanded closed area, but not within the inner triangle portion constituting the original Area II. Within the L-shaped expanded area, the captain was free to decide where and when to fish. No restrictions were placed on the number of tows or how fishing operations should be conducted. However, each captain was informed that broad coverage of the expanded area would be beneficial in providing a synoptic basis for analyzing the experimental fishery data.
- Vessels could fish only with regulated mesh [i.e., 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) during January-March, 6.0 inches (15.24 cm) from April onward].
- Catches of Atlantic cod, American plaice, pollock, Acadian redfish, winter flounder, witch flounder, and yellowtail flounder of legal size could be landed, but no haddock could be retained.
- The vessel had to be accompanied by a National MarineFisheries Service (NMFS)-approved observer.
- Vessels were under no obligation to remain in the experimental area for the entire trip.
- An experimental fishery certificate was issued and valid for a single trip. If a vessel wished to make a subsequent trip in the experimental fishery program, a new certificate had to be issued.
As word of the experimental fishery spread through the industry, vessel owners and captains contacted NMFS requesting details on the experiment and expressing interest in participation. In the few cases where the number of interested vessels exceeded the available observer coverage, vessels were selected randomly.
All scientific observers were provided by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Fisheries Observer Program. Observers were instructed to observe as many hauls as possible and, for each haul, record data on fishing location, fishing effort, catches, discards, gear characteristics, hydrographic information, and other information as specified in the "NEFSC Observer Manual." Additionally, observers were requested to obtain length-frequency samples from haddock and other groundfish FMP species.
Cooperation at sea was generally excellent between vessel operators and scientific observers. In addition to providing all required data, many captains and crew members provided additional anecdotal information on vessel operations and the status and management of the groundfish fishery.
Copies of the tow-by-tow logbooks completed by the scientific observers on each trip in the experimental fishery were forwarded to the NEFSC Woods Hole Laboratory for review and analysis. Data analyses included: 1) tow-by-tow summaries of fishing effort and catches (i.e., both retained and discarded) by species or species group; 2) trip summaries of the tow-by-tow locations (i.e., inside or outside Area II) where fishing occurred; 3) month/location summaries of catches, effort, and CPUE; and 4) location summaries of the size frequencies of landings and discard samples. Spatial and temporal patterns in fishing effort, catches, and CPUE were evaluated by month. CPUE was expressed as catch per time fished (lb/hr), discard rates as percentages, and size frequencies as mean, maximum, and minimum lengths (cm). In calculating CPUE, no adjustments were made for possible differences in fishing power among vessels.
Tows were assigned to Area II if all, or any part, of the tow was made inside Area II. Tows made outside Area II were collectively analyzed as a single group, although these hauls were made over a very wide geographical area. Comparisons of catches, species composition, and CPUE from tows made inside and outside Area II were conducted to provide initial insight on the impacts of the Area II closure in protecting haddock and other groundfish FMP species. More refined geographical-information-system-type analyses, however, are required to delineate finer-scale spatial patterns, both within Area II and between Area II and external (both adjacent and more distant) areas.
Table 1 lists the common and scientific names of all species caught during the January-June 1994 experimental fishery. During the fishery, 14 trips were made by 12 different vessels (Table 2). Participating vessels were from the Massachusetts ports of Boston (1), Gloucester (6), and New Bedford (2), and from the Maine ports of Portland (2) and Rockland (1). Vessels were absent from port for a total of 137 days, fished (i.e., gear on bottom) 1882 hr (78.4 days), and made 522 tows. Average trip duration was 9.8 days (with a range of 9-13 days), average fishing time per trip was 134 hr (with a range of 62-186 hr), average number of tows per trip was 37 (with a range of 20-58), and average tow duration was 3.6 hr (with a range of 2.1-4.8 hr).
All trips but one (i.e., trip 10) fished both inside and outside Area II (Table 2; Figure 2). Total catches, discards, fishing effort, number of tows, and haddock CPUE for the entire experiment are summarized by location in Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5; individual trip data are presented in Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8. Of the 522 tows made during the experiment, 445 tows (85%) were observed by scientific observers (Table 3). Sixty-nine percent (305) of the observed tows occurred inside Area II, and 31% (140) outside Area II. Observed tows accounted for 90% of total hauls in Area II, and 76% of total hauls made outside Area II. Retained catches were recorded by scientific observers for all hauls (i.e., observed and unobserved), but discards could only be tallied in observed hauls. Fishing captains do not normally maintain records of discards. Therefore, discard estimates are not available from unobserved tows. Accordingly, all results subsequently presented are based solely on observed hauls.
Experiment-wide catches totaled 609,741 lb [276.6 metric tons (mt)], of which 422,241 lb (191.5 mt) were groundfish FMP species (69%) and 69,032 lb (31.3 mt) were haddock (Table 3). Haddock accounted for 11.3% of total catches and 16.3% of groundfish FMP catches. Although total observed fishing effort inside Area II, in terms of both number of tows and hours fished, was twice as great as outside Area II, total Area II catches were 251% higher (474,491 versus 135,250 lb), groundfish FMP catches 275% higher (333,366 versus 88,875 lb), and haddock catches 652% higher (60,934 versus 8098 lb) than outside Area II (Table 4). While groundfish FMP species accounted for about the same percentage of total catches in both areas (i.e., 70% inside Area II, 66% outside Area II), haddock accounted for 18.3% of groundfish FMP catches inside Area II and 9.1% outside Area II (Table 3). For the January-June period, haddock CPUE inside Area II was 205% higher than outside Area II (53.1 versus 17.4 lb/hr; Table 5).
Nearly all (96%) caught haddock were discarded (Table 3). Within Area II, this was due to the experimental fishery requirement that any caught haddock could not be retained (although haddock were inadvertently retained on three tows inside Area II due to a misunderstanding that haddock could be retained if a tow was not completely within Area II). Outside Area II, retention of haddock was legally restricted to 500 lb (227 kg) per trip.
Discards of all species combined amounted to 206,867 lb (93.8 mt), of which groundfish FMP species constituted 37% (75,845 lb; 34.4 mt) (Table 3). Haddock discards (66,052 lb; 30.0 mt) accounted for 32% of total discards and 87% of groundfish FMP discards. Other species heavily discarded included skates (100,736 lb; 45.7 mt) and spiny dogfish (19,422 lb; 8.8 mt) (Table 4). Together with haddock, these species accounted for 90% of the total biomass of fish discarded.
En route to the fishing grounds, vessel captains were asked to identify the species targeted for fishing. Atlantic cod was designated as the target in nine trips, "mixed groundfish" in four trips, and pollock in one trip (Table 6). Trip catches were consistent with these designations (Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8). Atlantic cod accounted for 34% of total catches during the experiment, and 50% of catches of groundfish FMP species (Table 6). Captains generally fished according to the "style" of their port, i.e., Gloucester vessels fished for a mix of groundfish, New Bedford vessels fished for Atlantic cod and various flounders, and Maine vessels fished for Atlantic cod, pollock, and American plaice.
Nearly 50 different species were caught during the experimental fishery (Table 1). Relative contributions (as percent by weight) of individual species to the total experiment-wide catch of 609,741 lb were as follows: Atlantic cod (34%), skates (19%), pollock (12%), haddock (11%), goosefish (5%), American plaice (3%), yellowtail flounder (3%), spiny dogfish (3%), white hake (2%), "other fishes" (1%; see Table 1 for the 23 species constituting this category), cusk (1%), witch flounder (1%), American lobster (1%), winter flounder (1%), ocean pout (1%), Atlantic wolf-fish (<1%), Acadian redfish (<1%), silver hake (<1%), red hake (<1%), "other invertebrates" (<1%; see Table 1 for the eight species constituting this category), and windowpane (<1%) (Table 4). Additionally, two Atlantic white-sided dolphin (Lagen-orhynchus acutus) were incidentally captured during one of the trips and returned to the sea. No other marine mammals, sea turtles, or sea birds were caught during the experiment.
Within Area II, catches from the 304 observed tows (1148 fishing hr) totaled 474,491 lb (215.2 mt), of which 302,634 lb (137.3 mt) were retained (64%) and 171,857 lb (78.0 mt) were discarded (Table 9, Table 10, Table 11). Fishing activity occurred in all 6 mo, but was not evenly distributed in time or space. Experimental fishing effort was lowest in January (15 observed tows; 72 hr fished), intermediate during February and May (32 and 37 tows; 76 and 110 hr fished), and highest in March, April, and June (61-97 tows; 230-422 hr fished) (Table 9). The majority of tows were made in the northwest corner of the expanded area (Figure 3). During March-June, fishing was concentrated along the north-south boundary separating the expanded area from the original area of Area II, and also along the U.S.-Canadian maritime boundary (i.e., Hague Line). In the first few months of the experiment, vessels moved throughout the expanded area to locate target species; in the last three months, some vessels towed in locations where it was felt haddock could be avoided.
Groundfish FMP catches (333,366 lb; 151.2 mt) constituted 70.3% of total catches in Area II, and 88.3% (267,120 lb; 121.2 mt) of retained catches in Area II (Table 9 and Table 10). Atlantic cod was the most-caught species (161,997 lb; 73.5 mt), accounting for 34% of the Area II total catch and 49% of the Area II groundfish FMP catch. Haddock catches in Area II totaled 60,934 lb (26.7 mt), 12.8% of Area II total catches and 18.3% of Area II groundfish FMP catches. All but 2% (1071 lb) of the caught haddock were subsequently discarded (Table 12).
Prior to April, haddock catches in Area II were minor (i.e., January-March total of 1968 lb), accounting for less than 3% of Area II total catches per month and less than 4% of groundfish FMP catches per month (Table 9). Average catch per tow of haddock during January-March was only 18.2 lb (i.e., January -- 12.0 lb; February -- 0.3 lb; and March -- 29.2 lb); in these months, haddock CPUE averaged just 5.2 lb/hr (i.e., January -- 2.5 lb/hr; February -- 0.1 lb/hr; and March -- 7.7 lb/hr) (Figure 4). The largest catch of haddock taken in any one tow during these 3 mo was 407 lb (Table 6). Apart from this tow and another tow in which 102 lb of haddock were caught, none of remaining 106 observed tows during January-March in Area II caught more than 78 lb of haddock (Figure 5).
Beginning in April and continuing through May, haddock CPUE markedly increased in every trip made in Area II, rising from 50 lb/tow (10.5 lb/hr) in trip 8 to 669 lb/tow (186 lb/hr) in trip 12 (Table 7). Average haddock catch per tow was 130 lb/tow (30 lb/hr) in April and 577 lb/tow (194 lb/hr) in May (Table 9; Figure 4). During these 2 mo, catches of haddock exceeded 100 lb in 51 of the 134 observed tows (38%), and exceeded 500 lb in 17 tows. Tows with the highest haddock catches occurred in the northwest corner of the expanded area (near the 50-fathom contour) and along/near the north-south boundary of the original and expanded closed areas (Figure 5). The largest catch of haddock taken in a single tow during April and May was 4600 lb -- more than twice the total haddock caught in Area II during the first 3 mo of the experimental fishery.
In June, haddock CPUE declined to 105 lb/hr (396.7 lb/tow)--lower than in May but substantially higher than any other month (Figure 4). The last trip in the experimental fishery made in June (i.e., trip 14) also fished on 1 July, the first day that all of Area II was re-opened. On this date, three observed tows were made in the inner triangle of original Area II. Two large hauls of haddock were taken (9000 and 3500 lb), indicating that high concentrations of haddock still existed in the re-opened area.
Over the entire January-June period, 87 of the 305 observed tows (28%) in Area II caught no haddock, and in 114 other tows (37%) haddock catches were 50 lb or less (Table 13). Overall, 93% of Area II hauls (284 tows) caught less than 500 lb (227 kg) of haddock.
Spatial distributions of haddock catches per tow by month are presented in Figure 5. Similar distributions of catch per tow are presented for Atlantic cod (Figure 6), flounders (yellowtail [Figure 7], winter [Figure 8], American plaice [Figure 9], and witch [Figure 10]), white hake (Figure 11), and goosefish (Figure 12) in Figures 6-12. Spatially, these relative density distributions are consistent with those observed in recent NEFSC spring research vessel bottom trawl surveys.
After Atlantic cod (which accounted for 34% of Area II catch), the most-caught species were skates (20%), haddock (13%), pollock (12%), yellowtail flounder (4%), goosefish (4%), American plaice (4%), and spiny dogfish (3%) (Table 9). However, the relative contributions of these species to the overall retained catch were quite different, as 90% of the skates (84,159 lb; 38.2 mt) and all spiny dogfish (13,672 lb; 6.2 mt) were discarded (Table 11 and Table 12). As a result, Atlantic cod accounted for 53% of retained catches, pollock for 18%, yellowtail flounder and goosefish for 6% each, and American plaice for 5% (Table 10). The groundfish FMP species accounted for 88% of retained catches in Area II.
Fish were discarded for three main reasons. Haddock caught in Area II could not retained under provisions governing the experimental fishery. Spiny dogfish, ocean pout, skates, other fishes, and other invertebrates were heavily discarded (i.e., 90% discard rates; Table 12) due to the limited market value of these species to the vessels in the experiment. For the remaining species, discards generally reflected culling of undersized fish due to market considerations or existing legal minimum-size restrictions.
Catches, landings, and discards taken outside Area II during the experimental fishery are summarized by species or species groups in Table 14, Table 15 and Table 16, respectively. Catches by trip are presented in Table 8. A total of 140 tows were observed, comprising 466.2 hr of fishing effort. Expectedly, the temporal distribution of fishing activity outside Area II differed from that inside Area II as the vessels in the experimental fishery differentially allocated their fishing activities between the two areas. Fishing effort outside Area II was lowest in April (5 tows; 19 hr fished) (Table 14) when fishing effort inside Area II was highest (Table 9). Highest fishing effort outside Area II occurred in March (53 tows; 167 hr) and May (36 tows; 126 hr); during these 2 mo, effort inside Area II was similar, indicating that vessels divided their fishing activities nearly equally between the two areas.
Catches in observed tows made outside Area II totaled 135,250 lb (61.3 mt), of which 66% (88,875 lb; 40.3 mt) were groundfish FMP species and 6% (8098 lb; 3.7 mt) were haddock (Tables 9 and 14). More than 75% (6189 lb; 2.8 mt) of caught haddock were discarded (Table 16). As in Area II, Atlantic cod was the predominant species caught (47,272 lb; 21.4 mt), accounting for 35% of total catch and 53% of groundfish FMP catch.
Haddock catches outside Area II did not exceed 500 lb per trip in the first 11 trips of the experiment (i.e., trips between January and mid-May; Table 8). In these first 11 trips, haddock catches accounted for about 2% (with a range of 0-9.6%) of total catches taken in trips outside Area II, and about 2.4% (with a range of 0-10.2%) of groundfish FMP catches taken in trips outside Area II (Table 8).
On a monthly basis, haddock catches accounted for less than 4% of total catches outside Area II during January-May (Table 14). Apart from April when haddock CPUE seemingly increased (i.e., to 16.5 lb/hr, although this is based on only five observed tows), haddock CPUE prior to June was extremely low (i.e., <6.9 lb/hr; <24 lb/tow) (Table 14). In June, haddock catches and haddock CPUE outside Area II sharply increased (Table 14; Figure 4); more haddock were caught in June (5759 lb) that in the first 5 mo combined (2339 lb). This increase was due to two large hauls (3500 and 1000 lb) of haddock in June made just outside the Area II boundary.
Of the 140 observed tows made outside Area II during the experiment, 44% (61 tows) contained no haddock, and 40% (56 tows) contained haddock catches of 50 lb or less (Table 13). In only two tows did haddock catches outside Area II exceed 500 lb (i.e., the June tows mentioned above).
Species composition of catches made outside Area II was similar to that inside Area II. Atlantic cod accounted for 35% of total catches, followed by skates (15%), pollock (13%), goosefish (9%), haddock (6%), spiny dogfish (4%), white hake (4%), and American plaice (3%) (Table 14). Of retained catches, Atlantic cod accounted for 47%, pollock for 17%, goosefish for 12%, and white hake for 5% (Table 15). Since discarding practices outside Area II were nearly identical to those inside Area II, species discard percentages were also similar (Table 12 and Table 17).
On 1 July, the entirety of Area II (i.e., both the expanded area and the inner triangle) was re-opened for fishing. To assess post-opening catch rates of haddock and other groundfish FMP species, observers were placed on two vessels that intended to fish in the Area II region. Both trips sailed in mid-July and were absent from port for 10-11 days (Table 2). One of the trips (i.e, trip 15) fished completely outside Area II, targetingAtlantic cod and flounders; the other trip (i.e., trip 16) fished completely inside Area II, targeting yellowtail flounder (Figure 13).
Within Area II, 37 of the 48 post-experiment tows (77%) were observed (Table 18); haddock catches in these hauls amounted to only 22 lb, and constituted less than 1% of the total catch (24,792 lb; 11.2 mt). Haddock catches were negligible primarily because the vessel used a trawl designed for catching flatfish. As intended, yellowtail flounder was the principal species caught during the trip, accounting for 45% (11,331 lb; 5.1 mt) of total catch and 77% (10,192 lb; 4.6 mt) of retained catch (Table 19). Most yellowtail flounder catches were taken in the inner triangular section of Area II (Figure 14). Large quantities (10,178 lb; 4.6 mt) of skates were also caught, but 90% were discarded.
In the July trip that fished outside Area II, 36 of 40 tows (90%) were observed (Table 18). Groundfish FMP species accounted for 66% (12,410 lb; 5.6 mt) of total catch (18,877 lb; 8.6 mt), with Atlantic cod and American plaice each accounting for 20% of the total (Table 19). Haddock catches totaled 798 lb, or 4% of total catch and 6% of groundfish FMP catch. Approximately 25% of the total trip catch was discarded, consisting mostly of spiny dogfish and skates.
During the January-June experimental fishery, 9430 length-frequency measurements were made on 13 species. Samples were taken inside and outside Area II from both retained catches and discards. Most sampling (9408 fish) focused on nine groundfish FMP species and goosefish (Table 20); sampling of three additional species was insignificant (i.e., 15 Atlantic halibut, 5 American lobster, and 2 American shad).
Sampling of haddock was the top priority. A total of 4801 haddock were measured, constituting 51% of all sampled fish. Within Area II, length frequencies were taken from 3968 haddock (3884 discards; 84 retained); outside Area II, length frequencies were taken from 833 haddock (564 discards; 269 retained) (Figure 15). Size range of haddock discarded in both areas was similar (Table 20), but large haddock (>60 cm) constituted a greater proportion of discards inside Area II than outside Area II. Since, in both areas, nearly all caught haddock had to be discarded [i.e., culling was not much affected by the minimum legal size of 19 inches (48 cm)], the larger size composition of Area II discards indicates that older, mature haddock were proportionally more dominant inside Area II than outside.
For Atlantic cod, the principal species caught in both areas, size-frequency distributions of catches inside and outside Area II were virtually identical (Table 20; Figure 16). Discarded fish ranged from 37 to 49 cm (14.6-19.3 inches), and averaged about 42 cm (16.5 inches); retained fish ranged from 47 to 117 cm (18.5-46.1 inches), and averaged about 70 cm (27.6 inches). The lack of overlap in sizes between discarded and retained fish reflects culling in accord with the legal minimum size of 48 cm (19 inches) for Atlantic cod.
Size-frequency plots for the other eight species sampled (i.e., yellowtail flounder [Figure 17], pollock [Figure 18], winter and witch flounder [Figure 19], American plaice [Figure 20], windowpane [Figure 21], white hake [Figure 22], and goosefish [Figure 23]) are presented in Figures 17-23. In general, size compositions were similar inside and outside Area II, with culling consistent with prevailing minimum-size regulations--in the cases where these exist--or marketing demands. Of course, presence of scientific observers aboard the experimental fishery vessels may have affected culling practices, particularly for species regulated by minimum-size restrictions.
Enlargement of Area II in 1994 was enacted to ensure the protection of haddock from fishing during the spawning season when they become concentrated. The closure period was also lengthened in time to include January to ensure that haddock beginning to aggregate in the area would be provided the fullest protection.
One approach to evaluate the protection afforded to haddock and other groundfish FMP species by the expanded Area II closure is to examine the experimental fishery catch rates inside the expanded portion of Area II with those outside Area II. Higher catch rates generally reflect higher densities of fish. Hence, to the extent that catch rates inside the expanded portion of Area II are higher than those outside, the absence of a fishery inside the expanded portion will generate considerable "savings" of fish.
The CPUE -- retained and discard catches combined -- inside Area II was higher than outside Area II for: 1) all species combined (413 versus 290 lb/hr); 2) total groundfish FMP species (290 versus 191 lb/hr); and 3) for nine of the 13 groundfish FMP species. The CPUE inside Area II was higher for haddock (205%), yellowtail flounder (178%), American plaice (95%), winter flounder (68%), Atlantic cod (39%), pollock (31%), ocean pout (30%), windowpane (25%), and red hake (25%). For the remaining four groundfish FMP species, the CPUE inside Area II was lower: witch flounder (15%), white hake (27%), silver hake (43%), and Acadian redfish (96%) (Table 5 and Figure 24).
During January-March, haddock CPUE both inside and outside Area II was very low (<8 lb/hr) (Table 9 and Table 14; Figure 4). In April and May, haddock CPUE within Area II was substantially higher than outside (April -- 30 versus 17 lb/tow; May -- 194 versus 7 lb/tow). In June, haddock CPUE in both areas exceeded 100 lb/hr. As previously mentioned, the high haddock CPUE in June outside Area II was due to two large catches just outside the Area II boundary.
Within Area II, CPUEs of Atlantic cod and of all groundfish FMP species excluding haddock and Atlantic cod peaked in April, and were higher than those for haddock in each month but May and June (Figure 4). Outside Area II, Atlantic cod CPUE peaked in March and was higher than haddock CPUE in all months but June.
For species and species groups other than groundfish FMP species taken in the experimental fishery, CPUEs inside Area II were generally the same or higher than those outside Area II, except for goosefish (15.2 versus 25.8 lb/hr), spiny dogfish (11.9 versus 12.3 lb/hr), cusk (4.1 versus 4.9 lb/hr), American lobster (3.3 versus 3.4 lb/hr), Atlantic wolffish (0.4 versus 3.3 lb/hr), and other invertebrates (0.2 versus 1.2 lb/hr) (Table 5).
In total, the generally higher CPUEs inside the expanded portion of Area II compared to those outside Area II suggest that fish densities were higher inside the expanded area. Prohibiting a commercial fishery in the expanded area in 1994 therefore prevented high concentrations of fish from being exploited.
Some commercial fishermen have taken the position that it is possible to prosecute a fishery for mixed groundfish in the expanded portion of Area II without catching significant quantities of haddock. This position was, in part, the basis for conducting the experimental fishery, the purpose of which was to monitor the catch and bycatch of Atlantic cod and haddock in the expanded portion of Area II during January-June 1994.
During January through March, haddock catches in the expanded area were low (1968 lb in total), accounting for less than 2% of total Area II catches. During this same period, 60,478 lb of other groundfish FMP species were taken in the expanded area. Clearly, fishing in these months had little negative impact on haddock.
However, during April-June, haddock constituted 16% of total catches, and 22% of groundfish FMP catches, in Area II. In May and June when haddock catches and CPUE were at their highest in Area II, haddock constituted 34% of total catches and 46% of groundfish FMP catches. Obviously, had an open fishery for mixed groundfish been conducted in the expanded area during April-June, total haddock catches would have been extremely high.
Traditionally, the period of peak haddock spawning on the northeastern part of Georges Bank is during March and April (Overholtz 1987). However, the timing and duration of spawning can vary from year to year due to influence of temperature. In 1994, high concentrations of haddock (i.e., >400 lb/tow) were not detected in the experimental fishery until mid-March, suggesting that haddock spawning occurred later in 1994 than the traditional pattern. Catches of haddock in tows made in Area II in late June were among the highest observed in the experiment, indicating that haddock were still aggregated in early summer.
After 1 July when Area II was re-opened for fishing, large catches of haddock inside Area II were reported by commercial fishermen. Observations made from two sea sampling trips conducted in mid-July, however, did not substantiate the existence of large concentrations of haddock -- although haddock may have already dispersed by this time. Also, the fishing gear used in the July sea sampling trip to Area II was not optimal for catching haddock.
Since haddock caught inside Area II could not be retained, several vessels in the experimental fishery moved to different fishing locations after haddock were caught. These movements were likely intended to avoid subsequent haddock catches and to reduce culling time. Large haddock catches taken during the last few trips in the experimental fishery prompted some vessel captains to suggest that the closure period should be extended further into the summer.
Haddock and Atlantic cod accounted for 13 and 34%, respectively, of total catches inside Area II. As a group, the 13 groundfish FMP species accounted for 70% of total catches inside Area II. Area II catches were thus dominated by species regulated under the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan. Haddock, Atlantic cod, and yellowtail flounder on Georges Bank are at record-low abundance levels; the haddock and yellowtail flounder stocks have "collapsed," and an imminent danger exists that the Georges Bank Atlantic cod stock will soon collapse (Northeast Fisheries Science Center 1994). Given that these three species constituted a major fraction of monthly catches inside Area II during the January-June 1994 experimental fishery, maintaining the enlarged Area II seasonal closure in 1995 (and thereafter) is prudent as one component of the suite of conservation measures aimed at eliminating the overfished conditions of these stocks.
We extend our gratitude and appreciation to all scientific observers who collected the experimental fishery data. We also thank the captains, vessel owners, and crews who participated in the 1994 experiment.

I lounged in bed enjoying that blissful weekend feeling. No alarm clocks, no hasty breakfast before rushing off to work alongside equally sleepy and grumpy—never knew why—fellow citizens. Birds' songs poured in through the open window. The heavy door all but blocked out the ground-floor sounds: quiet voices and the rattling of plates. Someone burst out in cheerful laughter. The smell of fried bacon tickled my nostrils. I stretched with a happy smile—my joints made no cracking or clicking—and sat up in one smooth motion, enjoying the sensation of a perfectly healthy body. The thought of its potential use intoxicated me. Enough larking about. Time to kill some gnolls. They had to be missing me. Before I left I decided to spend my last gold piece on another night. The innkeeper scooped the coin off the bar. "What time should I expect you?" "Not before nighttime, I suppose. Time to let some gnolls' blood." He nodded his understanding. "Wait a sec. I'll arrange for some sandwiches." Shit. I kept forgetting to eat. This wasn't real life where you could skip a meal. Here, once you're hungry, you'd better quit whatever you're doing double quick before you're flat out of mana. "Thank you, Sir. I completely forgot." The innkeeper gave me a knowing smile, like, he'd been young too once. The red-faced waitress rushed in from the kitchen and handed me a sizable packet and a still warm flask. I looked inside. Three Little Pigs Sandwich, courtesy of chef. Amt: 5. Use: +3 to Strength, +3 to Constitution for 2 hrs. Strong Herbal Tea Use: Speeds up mana regeneration 3% for 2 hrs. Surprised, I looked up at the innkeeper. "Are you sure? This stuff sure costs more than the gold piece I gave you for the room." He gave me a wink, grinning. "On the house, kid. Eric gave me a whisper about you last night. You're one of the locals, almost. It's all right, really. Just enjoy your food." I thanked him again, wistfully packed up the delicious-smelling goodies and headed for the door. On my way to the Gnoll Hill I checked my friend list. Cryl was offline. But the sad Taali girl was there. I sent her a toothy smiley, just to cheer her up. A couple minutes later I received a cheeky winking face. My mood upped a few degrees. Life was moving on. There it was, the hill from yesterday. Still lots of people but nothing like last night. I wasn't going to join a group, not quite yet. I wanted to play solo for a while to explore my char's potential. I raised a rather average zombie, attracting a few curious glances in the process. It wasn't often they saw a Necro right here in the heart of the Lands of Light. I placed the remaining Soul Stone in a separate pocket in case I had to raise the pet again right in the heat of battle. And then we got cooking. Four hours and two stupid deaths later, I was almost level nine. Two gold pieces clinked in my wallet, plus about six hundred copper. Luckily, virtual money didn't weigh much: a thousand pieces equaled two and a half pounds. Twice I'd been to town to get rid of my hefty nickel-and-dime loot. I had about forty bracelets and the same amount of Soul Stones. I kept leveling slowly but surely, the few deaths resulting mainly from a couple of unlucky pulls. Gnolls had a large aggro zone what with their constant scurrying about, messengers running to and fro. Turned out it wasn't a good place for an easy hunt. I wasn't bored, running an angler's adrenaline rush as I scooped the loot out of bodies. I spent meditation breaks scrolling through the location chat. Somebody was still looking for a Red Bear, offering first three and later ten gold for the creature's whereabouts. A quest pet, apparently. Petty peddlers squabbled among themselves buying and selling stuff. Bracelets were in constant demand so I could have done a bit of haggling if I wanted to. Plenty of buyers around. Having restored mana to full, I rose, mechanically dusting my pants. I had to get myself some clothes, really, walking around in a basic free kit like a green newb. And the cloak... better not say anything about it. I just hoped that Taali had chosen a different leveling location.

I noticed a ranger player appearing from the nearby woods, his health flashing an orange alarm. He took a dozen paces, turned toward the trees and shot a few arrows at a yet unseen target. His gear was quite impressive, his armor gleaming with complex traceries, his rings glistening with gems. Even the arrows he shot left strange purple residue in the air. I peered at him. Karish. Level 38. A big fish, too big for this location. Who was he firing off at? Then I saw it. Red Bear himself, as large as life and twice as ugly. About six foot eight shoulder height, he was studded with arrows like a pin cushion and was also twice as scary for it. His frantic eyes sparkled yellow, each the size of a saucer. The beast bared his teeth, each a good dagger long. The ranger lunged forward, shortening the distance between them. The bear was having a hard time. He had barely 10% life left. As the fighters approached, I looked around for a place as far from the bear as possible. One swing of his paw, and I could do another corpse run. The archer stopped within ten paces from me. He turned round and grabbed his bow. Twang, twang, twang. The bear's life bar shrunk to the size of a hair. He was toast. But the bear still had enough in him to surprise us. He reared up, knocked an arrow aside in full flight and bellowed. Not just any old bellow, either: You hear the wild roar of a primeval beast! You're petrified! Your body is paralyzed with fear! Jesus. Just then my pet remembered his default owner-protection settings, grumbled and lunged toward the bear. Where did he think he was going? Veins bulged on the motionless raider's neck as he struggled against the invisible chains. The bear limped toward the man and in one powerful jolt pulled him under himself. I could hear the smacking of heavy paws. A few seconds later, everything was over. A small grave appeared where the archer had died. The bear turned to my zombie pet who had during all that time pounded the beast's wide back. Absolutely pointless. The level gap was too big. The zombie either missed or couldn't pierce the armor resulting in zero damage hits. When the paralysis finally ended, I stirred, racking my brains for a solution. The pet was little help, I could see that. He could only defer the monster two seconds max. And if I cast the DoT or the Deadman's Hand? He was almost sure to resist both. The only thing that might work was Life Absorption. It had always worked, ignoring the target's resistance to magic. How much life could the bear have left? One or two percent at most. Definitely not a hundred. I couldn't escape so I could just as well try it. I selected the bear as target and activated the spell. Red Bear has sustained 14 points Damage! You've received 14 points Life! 90/90 The zombie gnoll has been clawed! Damage sustained: 190 points! The zombie gnoll tried to punch Red Bear but missed! Red Bear has sustained 15 points Damage! You've received 15pt Life! 90/90 A critical hit received! Red Bear has clawed the zombie gnoll resulting in 390 points Damage! The zombie gnoll is dead! The bear hobbled toward me. Pointless running: even though he could barely move his legs, each step was so wide he'd catch up with me in no time. And he also had that bellowing skill. He'd just paralyze me and kill me. Oh shit. He was rearing up. The bear stood up glaring at me with hatred. Red Bear has sustained 13 points Damage! You've received 13 points Life! 90/90. The beast opened his jaws wide and bellowed just as I finished casting the spell again. You hear the wild roar of a primeval beast! You're petrified! Your body is paralyzed with fear! You've dealt a critical hit! Red Bear has sustained 28 points Damage! You've received 28 points Life! 90/90. Red Bear is dead! You've received Experience! Congratulations! You've reached level 9! Racial bonus: +1 to Intellect! Class bonus: +1 to Intellect, +1 to Spirit! 5 Characteristic points available! You now have 20 Characteristic points! Congratulations! You've received achievement: Goliath! You've killed a creature 10 levels higher than you! You've been awarded +100 points Fame!
pirit migration
Congratulations! You've received achievement: Colossus! You've killed a creature 20 levels higher than you! You've been awarded +500 points Fame! I just stood there frozen, my mouth gaping in a silent whoopee, my dropped jaw fully describing my feelings. What a coincidence. Un-freakin'-believable. Had the archer stayed alive, I'd have dealt a certain amount of damage but gotten no experience at all. More than that: had the ranger been bound to this location, then he'd have received all of the experience even in death. But the archer must have either arrived from afar or teleported to the city and hadn't yet bound to the location. Enter me. His damage list was now empty. God only knows where he'd respawn now. Having said that, hardly any class allowed you to wrestle down a bear while there was at least one percent life in him. No steel or magic would have made a dent in him. What incredible, enormous luck. The paralysis released me. Rubber-legged, I hobbled over to the beast. I reached out to touch his powerful frame and sank to the ground in awe. The Soul Stone. I clenched it and peered at the properties: A Soul Stone. Contains the soul of level 36 Red Bear. Use the Summoning the Undead spell to raise it. Not yet realizing the full scope of my luck, I moved the rest of the loot into my bag. Besides the Stone, I also had Red Bear's Heart and two vials of Bear's Blood. I'd have to look into them later. I sat down on the ground, dumbfounded, rolling the little rock in my hand admiring the play of light on its facets. Wonder if I could use it? Apparently, the mana level required for summoning depended on the player's level and not on that of the summoned creature's. I didn't see any problems in that respect. I could only explain what happened next by the catatonic state I was still in. You wouldn't expect me to admit I acted like an idiot, right? Why, oh why did I try to cast that summoning spell? The earth bulged. The enormous bulk of a zombie bear crawled out of the depth. Summon my aunt! How did you go about burying him back in the ground? Why on earth had I had to summon him? I heard stifled cries behind me. A group of three minor Elves stood behind my back. "What... what's that?" a level five female warrior pointed a trembling finger at the beast's bulk. "That," I said bitterly, "is my pet. Model My Brain Hurts, version I'll Rip Your Head Off. Cute, isn't he? Just don't disturb him, he's easily excited. Aren't you, Hummungus?"

Good things come to those who follow their joy. In 2013, a group of 3 Finnish "fangirls" decided to travel the UK scouting out the scenes from their favorite movies and TV shows. 2,000 miles later, the girls accomplished their mission and had an amazing time doing it. Rather than printing out pictures to contrast them with the backgrounds as many have done in the past, the girls used their phones and tablets to show the original scenes. They documented their journey on their website FangirlQuest.com and gained much love from the internet.
The girls explain, "The idea of visiting filming locations and comparing them to what was seen on film is certainly nothing new. But we hadn't seen it done with tablets and phones before, so we thought we'd give it a go. Like giving it a little modern kick."
With their well received project, the girls were able to crowdfund a 7,500 mile roadtrip across North America from Vancouver to New York, as well as some smaller UK trips. They have been to film events, geek conventions, and red carpets galore. Check out their blog and the stories behind the pictures on their blog.

network marketing
MLM Prospecting
Have you ever generated a lead online or bought some a leads list but then you don't know what the next step is?
It's always seems easier to call leads that have reach out to you instead of cold calling people so if you need help in generating leads online, then grab my free audio mp3 that shows you the simple 4 step process that you can use to generate leads online everyday without paid advertising. s
Call your leads as soon as they opt in. If someone gives you their name, email and phone number then they trust you enough that they will let you call them. Strike while the iron is hot and while the emotion is high and call them as soon as you can. If they opt in at 3pm then call them before 3:05pm. Let them know that you are serious about serving them and growing your business.
Step 1 Build Rapport
Take the time to build some rapport with them use the form method. Get to know them and allow them to know you. Remember, people join people they don't join companies. If you don't know where to start, then use their area code.
"I noticed that I'm calling an 801 area code. Are you in Utah? Wow! I used to live there!"
If you don't recognize their area code, then ask them where they are and look for things that you have in common.
Don't spend too much time building rapport because they aren't stupid. They know that you have an agenda. Just spend enough time to find something important then go to the next step.
Step 2. Ask them what they want/need
Just ask them,
"What can I do to best serve you?"
Let them talk.
Some of them will just want your free audio or pdf download and if that's the case, then let them go. Don't try to convince them to buy anything from you. Just keep on providing them value and if they need anything, they will reach out to you.
Many however will tell you exactly what they want or need.
All you have to do is listen to them.
Step 3. Review what they want
Once they tell you what they want, then review it the information back to them.
If I understand properly, what you are looking for is a way for you to treat your skin that doesn't involve harsh chemicals because your skin is sensitive. Is that correct?
Step 4 Qualify them
When a prospect says what they want or need,the typical network marketer will go into convincing and sales mode and say something like:
"Well then you need to use our face cream, it has such and such ingredient which has been used for centuries by the northern tribes of where ever. It's clinically tested and approved by Dr. So and so from prestigious university who won the nobel prize in health back in…
"You need to look at our business. It's ground floor with the best compensation plan etc."
Resist that urge and say this
"If what you are saying is true then I think we might have a fit for you.
This statement will make them curious. Notice the psychology involved here. You are not try to convince them. You are seeing if it's a good fit."
I go a little deeper about how to qualify in the video.
Did This Help You?
If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you commented below and shared on Facebook.
Create A Great Day!

LTE – The path to 5G with 4.5G Pro for a superior experience
There has never been a time as exciting as today in mobile communications.
Going far beyond smartphone connectivity, 4.5G, 4.5G Pro, 4.9G and 5G have the potential to revolutionize way we live and work, how public safety is ensured and how industrial processes are run.
Close to 800 operators are investing in LTE in more than 200 countries. Additionally LTE is increasingly used for private networks and for public safety. By 2020 LTE is expected to connect more subscribers than any other mobile technology. LTE can used on both paired and unpaired spectrum allocations, on licensed and unlicensed spectrum. LTE is continuously evolving and 3GPP continuous to standardize the building blocks for this evolution path in LTE-Advanced Pro. Nokia leverages AirScale for building a smooth evolution path to 5G with 4.5G Pro and 4.9G. 4.5G Pro increases initial 4G networks speeds ten times to gigabit data rates. 4.9G will provide for future service continuity with 5G network fabric. For more information about new services with 4.5G, 4.5G Pro and 4.9G visit our whitepaper section.
LTE-A marks the evolution of LTE to even higher user data rates and more network capacity.
Watch the animation for the latest LTE-Advanced enhancements, which are currently undergoing standardization in 3GPP in Release 13 and subsequent releases, mark a truly giant leap forward for 4G.
These enhancements will not only benefit smartphone users, but also enable a host of new use cases, from connectivity for the Internet of Things to public safety.
Download whitepaper: LTE-Advanced Pro
One of the key features of LTE-A is Carrier Aggregation. Nokia has had LTE-A Carrier Aggregation in commercial networks since 2013, when the Korean operators were the first in the world to launch it.
LTE-A continues to evolve, with a current focus on including the use of unlicensed spectrum and the optimization of mobile broadband networks for the Internet of Things.
We supply LTE to the world's 10 largest operators (by LTE subscriptions) across Asia, Europe, and North America.
We've deployed LTE on all major frequency bands and as of August 2017, we have more than 350 commercial references.

The Appeal
By John Grisham | Doubleday | $27.95 | 355 pages | 2008
The title of this novel derives from the appeal of a $41 million verdict in a toxic waste trial to the Mississippi Supreme Court. During the appellate process a hotly contested election for one seat on that court takes place.
Special interest groups pour vast sums into each candidate's campaign coffers.
Grisham's thesis is that popularly elected appellate tribunals are likely to be corrupt. He would much prefer the "Tennessee Plan," codified at Tenn. Code Ann. § §17-4-101 et seq. Unfortunately, that plan may be repealed or revised during the current legislative session. Our senators and representatives should read this book before voting.
My only criticism of the novel is that the author introduces far too many characters and subplots. At page 349, almost to the end of the story, I encountered "F. Clyde Hardin." Who's he? I had to backtrack to page 283 to refresh recollection.
The audio version by wonderful reader Michael Beck is available from Random House for $44.95.

Mother's Day was celebrated at Ballito Academy on Friday, 8 May 2015. The morning started with Ryan Doig, the Head, giving a very special message to all the Mothers and welcoming them to Ballito Academy.
There were around 77 Mothers who attended this event. Each individual class from RR to 3 said a Mother's Day poem and some even sang a song. Loads of moms had tears of joy in their eyes as they were so proud of their little ones. The mothers were treated to a range of delicious cakes and were gifted with very creative works of art. It was a fantastic morning celebrating what Mothers stand for, an incredible time to reflect and give thanks.

What travel documents do you need to travel on Eurostar? Find the answers you need.
Passports and identity cards
To travel on Eurostar you need either:
- a valid passport, or
- a national identity card (EEA citizens and Swiss nationals)
Babies and children must have their own valid travel documents.
If you are married but your passport is in your maiden name, it shouldn't normally cause any difficulties, but please take a copy of your marriage certificate with you when you travel, just in case.
Unaccompanied children
Children under 12 must travel with a responsible person aged 16 or older.
Children 12 to 15 (inclusive) can travel on their own, as long as they've got a fully completed Eurostar unaccompanied minor form.
This must be signed by their parent or legal guardian (or by a responsible adult given consent by the parent or legal guardian) at the station in the presence of a member of the Eurostar team.
The child will need to keep this signed form with them throughout their journey and show it to the onboard team if they're asked.
Children cannot travel unaccompanied on the direct route between London or Ashford and Lyon, Avignon and Marseille, or on our direct ski trains to the French Alps.
16 to 18-year-olds can travel by themselves, as long as they've got all the usual travel documents and meet all the legal requirements (please see below).
