About this deal

The largest region of the Global Ocean, the Pacific Ocean has the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Southern Ocean to the south, Australia, and Asia to the west and the Americas to the east. Spanning an area of 168,723,000 square km, the Pacific Ocean accounts for one-third of the total surface area of the planet. The deepest point in the Pacific Ocean is the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench (10,929 m) located in the western North Pacific.
Large parts of the Pacific remain unexplored due to its great depths. However, in the relatively shallow waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand, petroleum and natural gas deposits have been discovered. Pearl extraction is also common in the Pacific's waters. A large variety of fish like tuna, salmon, swordfish, herring, snapper, etc., abound in parts of the Pacific. Clarkson was part of the collective BURST COUCH who organised experimental / electronic music gigs between the years 2000 and 2010 and operated a record label (Lotta Continua) for several years with Gareth Bibby. Artists who appeared at Burst Couch events included Janek Schaefer, Keith Rowe, Colin Potter, Andrew Liles, John Everall, Karl Blake, Sisters of Transistors, Graham Massey, J Collin, Disco Operating System, Illuminati, Triclops, Imitation Electric Piano, Magic Arm, Douglas Benford, Philippe Petit, B-fab UK, Mild Man Jan, Daniel Weaver, Magic City, Opaque, Lee Patterson, Floach, Villa 21, Bess Keloid, Beat Science, Si-Cut db, VJ Fusion, Tactile, King Dice, BOSAH, Phil Mouldycliff, RPM, Albino Mosquito, Mark Pilkington, Quip, Paul Bradley, Mayming, Fonik, Danny Saul, Howard Walmsley, Denis Jones, Raz Ullah, Blue Light Fever, to name a few! abyssal plains: The a byssal plains (see Figure 1), at depths of over 3,000 m (10,000 ft) and covering 70% of the ocean floor, are the largest habitat on earth. Sunlight does not penetrate to the sea floor, making these deep, dark ecosystems less productive than those along the continental shelf. Despite their name, these “plains” are not uniformly flat; they are interrupted by features like hills, valleys, and seamounts. The following are examples of features found on the abyssal plains of the Pacific Ocean. Executingthe plan, taking close account of observed weather conditions as well as forecast conditions, which may require prompt decision making and course deviation. Members should also note that the owners of the ‘El Faro’ were also heavily criticised for the inadequacy of the vessel’s SMS and its implementation as well as their failure to pay proper attention to their master’s dangerous navigational decisions.

The Indian Ocean occupies 70,560,000 square km area on the Earth’s surface. The Eurasian landmass lies to the north of the Indian Ocean, Australia to the east, Africa to the west and the Southern Ocean and Antarctica to the south. 3,741 m is the average depth of the Indian Ocean, and its deepest point is Diamantina Deep. The depth in this region is 8,047 m. The almanac is very informative, especially for younger students. Students at the elementary school are always looking for books about ocean life. This would make a great addition to the reference collection for students interested in researching for papers, projects, or other assignments. The Arctic Ocean (the smallest) is named for the region around the North Pole. The word “arctic” comes from the ancient Greek arktos, or bear, for the bear constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, which include Polaris, the NorthStar.

Talyor, MR., Deep, Dark and Deadly. The perils of cave diving didn't spare even the sport's greatest star. Sports Illustrated, Vol 81, No. 14, October 3, 1994. As advised by Lloyd’s List Intelligence Casualty Statistics, the cause of up to 50% of all vessels lost each year is due to ‘Foundering’ (commonly defined as ‘ Sinking due to rough weather, leaks, breaking in two etc.’). This data confirms the view that severe and extreme weather present the greatest risk that ships, their owners and their crews face while at sea and even when in port. It therefore follows that the pro-active minimisation of the weather risk requires the greatest possible attention to ensure the successful exercise of both shipowner and crew due diligence. Weather Forecasts and Passage Planning This book would be a great reference for students looking for resources about ocean and sea life for projects or research papers. Very entertaining and interesting facts. Protasio, J., To the Bottom of the Sea. True Accounts of Major Ship Disasters. Carol Publishing Group, New York, 1990.

Over the last 30 years, Manchester (UK) based Dave Clarkson has been involved in many areas of music, mainly electronic and experimental.Print is small and divided into two columns. The content is very nice with lots of interesting information throughout. Between 2002 and 2009, Clarkson was a member of the electronic improv trio TRICLOPS and recorded solo work as ILLUMINATI. About 60 gigs were shared with the likes of Biting Tongues, Crispy Ambulance, Spaceheads, Melt Banana, 3D Tanx and many more artists.

Navigation range beyond 400 n.mi. from shore (‘deep sea’) between 70ºN. lat. to 70ºS. lat., requires VHF + MF + INMARSAT satellite connection.

By way of clarification, MMIA believe that the aforesaid ‘information to be considered’ should include references to: Availability of services for weather routeing. (such as that contained in Volume D of the World Meteorological Organization’s Publication No. 9 ).‘ Planningthe intended voyage from berth to berth so as to avoid severe weather, inclusive of assessing alternative routes and identifying ports of refuge. Known as the Yachtsman's Bible, Reeds provides all the information required to navigate Atlantic coastal waters around the whole of the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and the entire European coastline from the tip of Denmark right down to Gibraltar, Northern Morocco, the Azores and Madeira.

The Atlantic Ocean spans an area of 85,133,000 square km. The Atlantic Ocean is bounded by the landmasses of North and South America to the west and Asia and Africa to the east. The Arctic Ocean lies to its north, the Southern Ocean to its south, Pacific to the southwest and Indian Ocean to the southeast. The average depth of the Atlantic Ocean is 3,646 m and the Milwaukee Deep (8,380 m) in the Puerto Rico Trench, is its deepest known point. Since the Atlantic Ocean is vast, its climate varies widely from the north to the south. Warm and cold ocean currents in the Atlantic also influence the climate of the coastal areas on the shores of the Atlantic. The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift are responsible for keeping large parts of the coast of north-western Europe and the British Isles warm when the coast of Newfoundland in Canada on the same latitude experiences extreme temperatures in winter. FSAs who accept UKHO's digital nautical publications, but have not issued any specific requirements, may not be listed​ AENPs are designed to meet SOLAS carriage requirements, contain the same official information as their paper equivalents, and have been approved by the Flag States of over 80% of ships trading internationally. AENPs can also aid inspections by clearly showing when a publication was last updated with weekly NMs. Navigation range above 70ºN. lat. to 70ºS. lat., (technically outside the range of INMARSAT) VHF + MF + High Frequency Single Sideband (HF/SSB).the probable cause of the sinking of El Faro and the subsequent loss of life was the captain’s insufficient action to avoid Hurricane Joaquin, his failure to use the most current weather information, and his late decision to muster the crew. Contributing to the sinking was ineffective bridge resource management on board El Faro, which included the captain’s failure to adequately consider officers’ suggestions. Also contributing to the sinking was the inadequacy of both TOTE’s [the shipowners] oversight and its safety management system.’ Conclusion and Takeaway
