The 25th trawl survey in a time series to estimate the relative biomass of hoki and other species on the Chatham Rise was carried out from 4 January to 3 February 2018. Estimated biomass of hoki in core (200–800 m) strata was 122 097 t (CV 16%), an increase of 7% from 2016. This increase was largely driven by the biomass estimates for 1+ (2016 year class) and 2+ (2015 year-class) hoki. The biomass of hoki ages 3+ years and older declined by 26% from that in 2016. The 2018 survey again covered 200–1300 m depths around the entire Rise and biomass estimates are provided for 49 species.

The Joans is my new favorite band.
The group is made up of men who are paying homage to Joan Crawford through music.
I'm a fan of Joan Crawford, too... and I'm also a fan of the movie Mommie Dearest.
I've never read the book it's based on - you can find it at your local bookstore in what Sophia Petrillo calls "The Bitter Children of Celebrities" section - but the film is such a guilty pleasure. It simultaneously takes itself too seriously and doesn't take itself seriously at all. I appreciate the picture for the camp factor, the kitschy nostalgia aspect, the queer quirkiness (or is it quirky queerness?) of it all.
Gawd, I love this song - "Mad at the Dirt" - inspired by the movie and Joan's (alleged) wire hanger hang-up.

You probably have listened to great tracks like “I Got You (I Feel Good)” by James Brown, “Young Americans” by David Bowie, or “Slave” by the Rolling Stones. What do all of these songs have in common? Featured within each song is the identifiable woodwind instrument, the saxophone. Unbeknownst to many, this iconic musical instrument’s roots lie within Belgium, and its invention can be attributed to the Belgian musician and instrument maker, Adolphe Sax. Read on to discover how his musical creation would come to revolutionize the music industry and shape future musical genres.
Antoine-Joseph Adolphe Sax was born on 6th November, 1814, as the eldest of 11 siblings. Sax was born and raised in Dinant, Belgium; a small city in the southern region of Wallonia. His father, Charles Joseph Sax, was a great influence on Adolphe as he was an instrument designer and owner of an instrument factory. Sax started to work with his father at a very young age and soon realized his passion for instruments and music. He then started to take clarinet lessons and even entered a contest at age 15. In 1828, he began his formal musical education at the Royal School of Music located in Brussels.
It is known by few that Sax designed and invented more instruments than just the saxophone. In fact, as a teenager, he created whole new designs for the clarinet and for flutes. A few years later, he invented a new clarinet model known as the 24-key clarinet. In 1835, Sax showed his invention to the public at the Industrial Exposition in Brussels. He also presented a series of 9 different inventions, including the organ, at the same exposition in 1840.
Sax’s innovative creations started to gain acclaim from the public and attract the attention of famous people involved in the music industry, such as Francois Antoine Habeneck, conductor of the Paris Opera Orchestra.
Just one year later, in 1841 at the Industrial Exposition in Brussels, Sax decided to present to the public his most important invention: a woodwind instrument composed of a single reed, a conical tube, and finger keys. This interesting invention would soon be known as the saxophone. The creation was soon patented in 1846, a few years after the public presentation.
Sax tried his luck and moved to Paris, renowned as a musical capital of Europe at the time, to promote the saxophone and start a workshop. He had to face hard economic times, but it all changed when he was introduced to music critic and composer, Hector Berlioz. Berlioz was inspired by Sax’s creations and wrote a review on the saxophone. Soon, Sax started to produce the saxophone in different sizes and the instrument started to be featured on operas.
A rocky road to success
The saxophone started to gain in popularity, especially among military bands. Once, Sax organized a ‘battle band’ between two different military bands, one of them featuring the saxophone and the other band playing traditional French infantry band instruments. The band featuring the saxophone won the competition and so the military incorporated the saxophone into their musical groups. Despite his great success, Sax suffered from difficulties in the business and underwent bankruptcy three times. He managed to avoid a fourth with the help of emperor Napoleon III, one of the major admirers of the saxophone.
The competition with other instrument makers was tough since buyers and composers were already loyal to other instrument makers. Sax was once accused of stealing the idea of the saxophone from the Germans. Many other accusations were made against Sax, but he somehow always able to prove his invention was in fact, an original idea. Aside from the downs in his business, Sax continued to gain recognition and awards for his inventions.
Sax died on 7th of February, 1894. The saxophone became a great success in band music, but it never turned out to be an important instrument for classical music as Sax always hoped. Adolphe Sax even died believing that the saxophone would never become a famous and popular instrument. Little did he know that his invention would revolutionize the world of music during the 20th century and begin one of the most popular genres that have ever existed, jazz. Sax could not witness the greatest success of the saxophone, but up to this day people still visit the Belgian town of Dinant to see where the inventor of the saxophone once lived, admire sculptures of the saxophone around the town, and learn about the history of this special musical instrument and the life of its inventor.

Commentary: Invisible Romani victims and an anti-Muslim crusade
This year's anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz seemed like a delayed whipping up of a call to arms. The alarm was sounded without a clear enemy.
The tribute to the victims of Nazi genocide was carried through the ether without mentioning all of the victims concerned. Essentially, it was a loose sequel to the selective approach toward human rights we have been experiencing as our societal atmosphere continues to deteriorate.
The anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz is understandably about the Jews and their suffering because the Nazis chose them for targeted destruction. As several of the speakers correctly reminded us at the "Let My People Live!" conference in Prague, we must never forget the Nazi terror and its victims or history will repeat itself.
What about the other victims?
This otherwise banal message, which has been proven many times throughout history, takes on a different aspect when we realize that the other victims who were also chosen by the Nazis for targeted murder were mentioned by almost no one this year. There was silence, more or less, about the mentally and physically disabled people, the Roma, and the sexual minorities who also went through the gas chambers at Auschwitz.
In the media in general, at the Prague conference, in society, on television, there were only exceptional mentions made of these other victims. "The date of 27 January, which is Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorates the liberation of the concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz, where various groups of people suffered and died. In their suffering, all victims of Nazi murder are equal, so the Romani victims should also be remembered in a dignified way on 27 January, and not just at Terezín," historian Michal Schuster of the Museum of Romani Culture told news server Romea.cz last week.
Film director Břetislav Rychlík, who created the documentary film "Oh, You Black Bird: The Forgotten Holocaust of the Romanies", said "It is good to remember the Romani victims together with the Jewish ones. The strong animosity felt against Romani people here means people do their best to question whether the Romani Holocaust even happened. Some online discussants even welcome the idea. In this atmosphere, it is very important to remember the full extent of the Holocaust."
Our society is not able to remember all of the victims of the Holocaust together. It basically never occurs to anyone to do so.
Prejudice against Romani people is indisputably one of the reasons for this. Recently, at a talk with teachers from primary and secondary schools about extremism in the Czech Republic, a teacher reproached me for linking the Jewish and Romani victims of Nazism together.
In her view, these victims had nothing in common because "the gypsies brought it on themselves". Even some Jewish people believe the genocide of the Jews, the Shoah, was an exceptional kind of targeted murder compared to that of other victims.
In society the feeling predominates that the Nazis wanted to destroy Romani people for different reasons than the Jews. The reasons, of course, were identical - the racism of the Nazis and their hatred of difference.
Generalizations and xenophobia
In addition to intolerance against Romani people, xenophobia linked to generalizations has been growing recently in the Czech Republic. The Roma are no longer the only ones being tarred with the same brush - Muslims are as well.
Hateful, stupid remarks are no longer being made just by extremists and neo-Nazis, but by ordinary people, including the members of other minorities in Czech society. For example: "During the 1970s Western Europe opened its labor market to workers from the Maghreb and the Middle East. The subsequent application of multiculturalism and pseudo-humanistic policies has brought Europe its greatest threat since the Turks were outside Vienna (in 1683). The coming European generations will indiscriminately reap the sad fruit of this tree."
This attack on humanism and multiculturalism, surprisingly, is not from some (neo)Nazi website, as we are used to seeing, but from the January issue of Community News (Obecní noviny), which is published by the Jewish Community in Prague. To illustrate the thinness of this argument, I would like to point out that the author, a member of the Jewish Community, evidently does not consider the Second World War, including the Holocaust, to have posed a "great threat" to Europe if he believes that the "greatest threat" to Europe since 1683 did not occur until workers from the Maghreb and the Middle East arrived here in the 1970s.
The purpose of this "idea" is to incite others against Muslims as a whole and against those who have accepted them in Europe. This despite the fact that Jews in the diaspora have been accepted into different cultures, including Muslim ones, for thousands of years.
Sometimes Jews were welcomed helpfully, sometimes they encountered violence. For a long time they lived a satisfactory existence in Spain, including under Muslim rule, until the Christians murdered some of them off, drove them away, or forcibly converted them.
Jews sometimes lived in these different cultures thanks to the tolerance of local rulers, but in a culture similar to theirs (the Judeo-Christian one), they very often suffered. Humanism, the coexistence of people from various cultures associated with humanism, is what will ensure equality and security to Jews today as well.
Once a policy based on such attributes is gone, the helpfulness and tolerance that Jews enjoy in Czech society today will gradually also melt away. Nevertheless, here we are, remembering only some victims of the Holocaust even as we hope history will not repeat itself.
Or will it only repeat itself with respect to those who "bring it on themselves somehow" - the Muslims, the Roma? It has nothing to do with us now, right?
That feeling is a mistaken one. Once a society's animosity starts up against someone or something different, nothing can stop it.
If history repeats, it will affect us. The Jews will be next in line, right after the Muslims and the Roma.

My name is Josh (I'm guessing that's already painfully apparent to you)! Thank you for taking an interest in my work. Exploring the world, knowing the people who live on it, and capturing both through photography, this excites me. I also love mountain bikes, hot tea, warm cats, working at my computer, laughing with old friends, and getting to know new ones! I'm a hardcore feeler with a logical and pragmatic side (that paradox is a blessing at least as often as a curse), but when it comes to photography the result I aim for is images of meticulous attention to detail and quality that captivate through emotional connection, creativity, and awe when viewed for years to come.
For me there is something about photography that is almost sacred; for every photo shoot and each individual I have the privilege of capturing I am grateful. My desire is that each session be a fun, authentic, and memorable experience on its own, delivered through a mixture of both creative shots and more traditional portrait photos.
I would love to sit down with you for coffee or tea (on me!) to get to know you and hear what I can do to capture some authentic moments of your life and love! Whether that be a big day, a spontaneous lifestyle session, or anything between!

Design and Prototype of a Magnetic Adhesion Tracked-Wheel Robotic Platform for Mooring Chain Inspection
Dissanayake, M, Sattar, TP, Gan, T-H, Pinson, I and Shehan, L (2018). Design and Prototype of a Magnetic Adhesion Tracked-Wheel Robotic Platform for Mooring Chain Inspection. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering.
|Authors||Dissanayake, M, Sattar, TP, Gan, T-H, Pinson, I and Shehan, L|
The development of climbing robots for mooring chain applications are still in its infancy due to the operational complexity and the geometrical features of the chain. Mooring chains are subjected to high tidal waves, harsh environmental conditions and storms in daily basis. Therefore, the integrity assessment of chain links is vital and regular inspection is mandatory for offshore structures. The Magnetic adhesion tracked-wheel crawler robot technique presented in this study is suitable for mooring chain climbing both in air and underwater (in-situ conditions). The robotic platform which is presented in this paper can climb mooring chains at a maximum speed of 42 cm/minute with an external load of 50 N. A numerical study was conducted to investigate the adhesion module and structural design related analysis. Numerical results are validated using a prototyped robot in laboratory conditions. The proposed robot can be used as a platform to convey equipment i.e. tools for non-destructive testing applications.

In the dead of summer, federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau has announced consultations that he says will address the issue of tax fairness for private corporations.
The announcement was called: “Next steps in improving fairness in the tax system by closing loopholes and addressing tax planning strategies”.
In reality, Ottawa’s tax bureaucrats are running amok with proposed tax increases that if implemented will kill much of the entrepreneurial spirit in Canada and thousands of jobs created by small businesses.
For someone to start their own business is a huge risk. I know, I’ve done it.
It’s also essential to growing our economy and creating jobs.
In our system, small businesses pay less tax than big businesses or salaried employees because we all benefit from the success of small business.
Morneau’s consultation paper provides the following example to illustrate the government’s argument.
Ironically, it indicates the utter unfairness of what they plan to do.
Jonah and Susan are neighbours living and working in Ontario.
Each lives with their spouse and children, who have no significant sources of income.
While Jonah and Susan will each earn $220,000 in 2017, Susan’s household pays about $35,000 more tax than Jonah’s household.
That’s because Susan earns $220,000 as an employee.
She pays about $79,000 in income tax for the year.
Jonah has an incorporated consulting business that earns $220,000 before taxes and salary. He provides consulting services for the corporation.
It qualifies for the small business deduction in respect of its income from the business.
Jonah owns the voting shares in his corporation.
His spouse and two children, ages 19 and 21, also own shares, for which they paid little.
The corporation pays Jonah a $100,000 salary, and its remaining after-tax profits in equal amounts to the spouse and children as dividends.
The dividends are taxable income.
After accounting for corporate income tax, taxes on Jonah’s salary and dividend tax credits claimed by his spouse and children, his household pays $44,000 in total tax on the $220,000 earned through the corporation.
That’s $35,000 less than the $79,000 in taxes paid by Susan, on the $220,000 she earns as a salaried employee.
Only in Ottawa would someone with a government job, pension and benefits think you can fairly compare these two people.
As an employee, Susan gets sick days, paid vacations, a pension, medical benefits for her and her family and paid maternity leave. She doesn’t have to mortgage her house or risk her retirement savings to earn an income.
Jonah has to risk everything to make a payroll, invest in his business and help grow the economy.
Unlike Susan, Jonah has to pay for his own retirement and his family’s extra medical costs.
Susan and Jonah shouldn’t pay the same amount of taxes because they’re making different choices and contributing to our economy in dramatically different ways.
Readers should know the government’s proposed policy change could impact me.
I’ve worked on salary in government and the private sector and I’ve been an entrepreneur.
There is no comparison between the two.
In 2007, I quit my job and started my own business, mortgaging my house and investing my personal savings to make payroll on what was then a money-losing casino with 430 employees.
I don’t regret that decision but at the time I was never more scared.
Aaron Schechter, a tax partner at Crowe Soberman LLP (and my accountant) told me, “The government’s proposals eliminate many of the bona-fide tax planning strategies that currently reward the business owner for risking his/her capital, for creating thousands of jobs across Canada and for contributing to Canada’s social security safety net, which is generally accessed by the middle and lower class.
“The government's actions will increase the overall tax burden for hard-working business owners and their private corporations and may create a disincentive for those who are considering pursuing their innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in Canada.”
Morneau and the Liberals are still in the consultation phase.
Readers concerned about this issue should contact the minister at email@example.com or email your own MP and voice your concerns.
Warren is a Liberal political strategist who has worked for former Toronto mayor Mel Lastman and former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty and is currently a principal at grgadvisors.ca and CEO of Riseley Gaming Inc.

With the inherent health risks that come from being overweight, we feel as if it is a noble cause to try and discover just how to drop those extra pounds.
There are millions of diets floating around online, with each recommending different ways of approaching the subject. Some cut calories—others cut carbs. Some avoid fat—others, sugar. It’s an intimidating ordeal that can lead to anxiety about eating in the first place.
However, one diet seems to stand out against the others. The ketogenic diet (also referred to as the keto diet or simply keto) is a diet that claims it will allow you to eat until full, mostly disregard calories and still lose weight at a rate far faster than most.
Keto is also notorious for a complex understanding not only of how our bodies metabolizes food, but how we can take advantage of that system for weight loss.
It’s a notoriously term-dense subject, but we’re here to give you a brief overview of the ketogenic diet, explain how fat burning works on it, and hopefully give you a better understanding of the biological process of a little thing called ketosis.
The ketogenic diet is based entirely on the biological process of ketosis. For our purposes today, we’ll be utilizing the National Institute of Health’s write up on this process.
When you eat, your body will utilize carbohydrates to fuel many parts of the body, and break down complex chemicals in your meal into glucose, which is also used as fuel. When you fail to use the available glucose during your normal day, that glucose is stored in pockets of glycogen.
Your body can only hold so much glycogen, so when enough food is eaten to fill up the glycogen stores, foods are turned into fat and stored throughout the body. This is the fundamental reason you gain weight. Too much food and too many calories means too much glycogen, and therefore, too much body fat.
This is why avoiding fatty foods is not necessarily conducive to weight loss. Those fat cells in food will not be transferred to glucose, but rather, other fatty acids and ketones. In fact, sugar, which is more easily turned into glucose, is often the cause of fat buildup.
The ketogenic diet attempts to bypass this vicious cycle of glucose, glycogen, and fat and works to start up ketosis. Instead of eating foods high in sugar and carbohydrates, the keto diet recommends you eat protein and fat.
This forces the body to deplete the glycogen reserves since it’s been trained to run on glucose. Once all of the glucose is gone, and your body is no longer receiving enough glucose to survive through food, it’s forced into ketogenesis. In ketogenesis, your body must utilize fatty acids and ketones to survive.
How Ketosis Helps You Lose Weight
Once your body has transitioned to ketosis and depleted it’s glycogen stores, you’re left with a simpler path to losing weight. Before ketosis, you would need to utilize the glucose and carbohydrates in your food, then deplete the entirely of your glycogen stores, before finally beginning to enter ketosis and burn fat cells.
On the ketogenic diet, once the food is fully digested, there are no glycogen stores to draw from. The body will simply start to dissolve body fat as energy the moment it needs to. This is why ketosis and the keto diet is one of the most effective methods of weight loss.
If you are hungry, eating the right foods until full won’t harm your diet. So long as you’re getting the vitamins and nutrients you need, trace amounts of carbohydrates, and lots of fatty and protein-rich food, your body will remain in ketosis.
What Foods Can I Eat?
Eating to maintain ketosis is a little unusual because many foods you thought were unhealthy are allowed—and vice versa.
For instance, many fruits have too many carbohydrates to keep your body in ketosis. While there is no denying the health benefits of fruits, if you’re going for this diet, you’ll need to cut them out.
Likewise, butter, cheese, beef, and chicken are all acceptable on the ketogenic diet. This is due to the focus being not on calories, but macronutrients or “macros.” The goal is to eat few carbs, a good amount of protein, and lots of fat.
Generally, you’ll want to stay away from wheat, bread, and most grains. That means sandwiches with bread are no longer an option. Avoid sugary foods, fruits, and root plants like potatoes as well.
What you can eat are meats, veggies, dairy, nuts, and sweets that don’t focus on high sugar and keep your carbs down.
This can be a little tricky at first, as you may need to do some rearranging of for pantry to accommodate new foods and cut out old ones. Replacements to guilty pleasures will also be necessary to keep you on track, so consider picking up some low carb peanut butter cookies or low carb chocolate mousse.
Also, be wary of the dreaded “keto flu.” Keto flu kicks in during the first week of entering ketosis, while the body depletes its glycogen stores and transitions towards fatty acids and ketones for energy. This feeling of lethargy and increased fatigue should only last a few days and is relatively harmless.
And that’s it! The ketogenic diet is a scientifically proven way to help you lose weight, combat obesity and heart disease, and eat enough meat and dairy to feel like you’re not on a diet. If you stick with it long enough, you can live a life without the ups and downs of blood sugar, easily burn off fat, and feel healthy and vibrant for years to come.

Are you planning on building a house soon? If so, note that there are so many factors you need to consider. The good news is that you do not have to spend all your money building an expensive house. A simple guide will help you learn of great ways you can build your house using a budget. Here are the cheapest ways to build a house.
The design of your dream house plays a significant role in determining what the budget will be like. What kind of home design are you interested in? If you are interested in cheap ways to build a house, you should consider purchasing a simple home design. To spend less, go for a simple box design. This makes everything much more straightforward and affordable. One exciting thing is that you do not need to worry that your house will not be attractive. You can make your home more authentic by making the exterior more interesting.
Have you ever wondered why tiny houses are famous all over the world? This is mainly because tiny homes are more affordable to build. If you want to build your house on a cheap budget, you should go for a tiny house. The good thing about all this is that you do not have to have a tiny house for you to enjoy the benefits of a smaller house. Also, most of your labour and materials will be priced by square foot. This means that the smaller the square footage of your house, the more affordable it becomes.
Note that building a tiny home doesn’t mean you will spend less. If you have the wrong home builder, you might spend more than you imagined. Take enough of your time and find a well-experienced home builder. A great experienced home builder might be a little bit pricy. However, you will make up for the money once the building starts. It is also essential for you to get council building permits from CIVAC. This way, you will always be on the safer side.
Another cheap way to build a home is by ensuring that you get your design plans approved. Getting all your design plans approved early enough is very important. If you fail to do so, you may spend a lot of time and money waiting for permits to be approved before you start the building process. Note that before your plans are approved, you should never start your building process. This way, you avoid suffering hefty penalties.
Building a home is such a tricky thing to do. This is because it involves a lengthy process. That is why you will find people going for cheaper alternatives to building a home.

(b. 1846, Paris, d. 1890, Le Puy-en-Velay)
French painter and army officer. (His real name: Albert Dubois.) He pursued a military career at the Ecole Impériale Militaire at Saint-Cyr, from which he graduated in 1867. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) and was held prisoner in Westphalia by the Germans; upon release he joined the Versailles army and participated in the suppression of the Commune. Following various assignments in the provinces, in late 1879 he was appointed to the Légion de la Garde Républicaine in Paris.
Dubois-Pillet was a self-taught amateur painter, closely aligned with the Neo-Impressionists. Though not formally trained, various Salons accepted his still-lifes for display as early as 1877. In 1884 he was the organizer and first president of the Société des artistes indépendants, where a Naturalist painting influenced by Manet caused a furious debate. Encouraged by Seurat, he subsequently began to paint pointillist landscapes, open-air genre scenes and portraits.
Dubois-Pillet exhibited regularly with the Indépendants until 1889, and the only one-man exhibition of his work held in his lifetime took place at the Revue Indépendent in 1888. In 1888 and 1890 he exhibited with Les XX in Brussels.
In an effort to camouflage his artistic activities from his military career, in 1884 he began to sign works of art "Dubois" with the addition of his mother's maiden name, "Pillet." Though the military forbade him from participating in art exhibitions in 1886, he remained active until his death.
Perhaps because of this defiance, in 1889 he was posted to Le Puy in south central France as commander of the local gendarmerie. He died there during a smallpox outbreak in 1890.
