Renewing and re-invigorating settlements: A role for tourism?
No full textIn remote areas, settlements are usually established for specific purposes, such as: an administrative outpost; to support a specific transport technology; for service extractive natural resource industries such as mining, farming, fishing and forestry; or to provide a location for a military establishment. If the purpose for which a settlement was established changes, there is potential for decline to occur unless a replacement industry can be established. As the authors of Chapter 3 in this volume have conveyed, resource- ased settlements in particular are susceptible to boom and b bust cycles linked to overdependence on external markets (Schmallegger and Carson, 2010). Finding replacement industries is generally difficult, although in recent decades tourism has been flagged as an activity that has some potential to assist settlements that are in danger of decline. However, for a strategy based on tourism to succeed in the long term, the communities living in these settlements must be able to offer attractions capable of generating visitor interest, provide long-term employment options for the t community and contribute to long-term community economic stability. t This is not always possible. This chapter examines the potential for tourism to be developed as an alternative industry sector in remote settlements that are either facing decline or wish to find an alternative economic base
Perspectives on ‘Demography at the edge’
No full textCarson, DB ORCiD: 0000-0001-8143-123XThe intent of this book is to examine the relationships between ‘remoteness’ and the demographic characteristics of populations who live in remote areas. It is concerned with the remote parts of developed nations, and so it faces the challenges of demographic research at the sub-national level. The grand theories of demography have been developed around observations of human populations at the national or supra-national scale. While propositions such as the demographic
transitions are not universally accepted, they have proven very useful for
researchers and policy makers concerned with the characteristics of relatively large populations (Burch 2003). Far less attention has been paid to formal or behavioural demography as it applies to smaller (particularly sub-national), more dynamic and more open populations (Swanson 2004). There are numerous studies about such populations, but they tend to be concerned with data quality issues, methods of data analysis and the production of localised descriptions of population characteristics (see, for example, Wilson and Bell 2004, Wilson and Rees 2005). Processes of industrialisation and post-industrialisation have effected
how regional populations change and how they interact with one another (Pierson1998). A focus on migration, including models of rural-to-urban migration and counter-urbanisation (Bosworth 2008) has been a main feature of sub-national demography. Population changes have been interpreted in the light of theories of economic development such as the staples thesis and various core-periphery models (Barnes et al. 2001). Overall, however, there have been few attempts to synthesise knowledge about how sub-national populations work into general models, despite calls for attention to the issue over at least the past two decades (McNicoll 1992)
Letter from Carson Estate Company to Mr. A. [Al] G. Hemming, May 12, 1942
No full textLetter refers to enclosures of lease agreements. Requests clarification on a new agreement for Lease #13 to new tenant and the cancellation of Leases #13-A and #13-B for Japanese American farmers. Handwritten responses on the document clarify the letter with "yes, this [is] a combination of 13 A & 13 B. Cancel The Japs." Refers to the mass removal ("evacuation") of persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast as directed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Executive Order 9066. Lease #13 A is Item 1969-I
Measurement of the CKM angle gamma from a combination of B->Dh analyses
No full textA combination of three LHCb measurements of the CKM angle gamma is presented. The decays B->DK and B->Dpi are used, where D denotes an admixture of D0 and D0-bar mesons, decaying into K+K-, pi+pi-, K+-pi-+, K+-pi-+pi+-pi-+, KSpi+pi-, or KSK+K- final states. All measurements use a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Combining results from B->DK decays alone a best-fit value of gamma = 72.0 deg is found, and confidence intervals are set gamma in [56.4,86.7] deg at 68% CL, gamma in [42.6,99.6] deg at 95% CL. The best-fit value of gamma found from a combination of results from B->Dpi decays alone, is gamma = 18.9 deg, and the confidence intervals gamma in [7.4,99.2] deg or [167.9,176.4] deg at 68% CL, are set, without constraint at 95% CL. The combination of results from B->DK and B->Dpi decays gives a best-fit value of gamma = 72.6 deg and the confidence intervals gamma in [55.4,82.3] deg at 68% CL, gamma in [40.2,92.7] deg at 95% CL are set. All values are expressed modulo 180 deg, and are obtained taking into account the effect of D0-D0bar mixing
Measurement of the Xi(-)(b) and Omega(-)(b) baryon lifetimes
No full textUsing a data sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1, the Ξ−b and Ω−b baryons are reconstructed in the Ξ−b → J/ψΞ− and Ω−b → J/ψΩ− decay modes and their lifetimes measured to be
τ(Ξ−b) = 1.55+0.10−0.09 (stat) ± 0.03 (syst) ps,
τ(Ω−b) = 1.54+0.26−0.21 (stat) ± 0.05 (syst) ps.
These are the most precise determinations to date. Both measurements are in good agreement with previous experimental results and with theoretical predictions

Session IV: Fair Use and Other Exceptions (David Carson)
No full textI’m going to give an overview on where we are right now with respect to international copyright treaties and how they deal with exceptions and limitations, and maybe a little bit about how we got there, and I’ll leave it to others to say where we ought to be going. We start with the Berne Convention, which is the first international copyright treaty. And if you look at why Berne came about, it was mainly because authors back in the mid-to-late nineteenth century were concerned that they weren’t getting protection for their works in countries other than their home countries. French authors—and of course French authors were very much at the forefront of the Berne movement—were concerned that their works were being pirated in Belgium and in Holland. And that sort of led to this movement to have an international treaty whereby if you were an author from country A, your rights would be recognized in country B to the same degree that authors in country B would have their rights. And that gets us to the basic proposition—not just a premise of international copyright law, but international IP law in general—the notion of national treatment. And of course Berne goes beyond that: the first Berne Convention talked about certain degrees of rights, and over years there have been revisions of Berne. There have been expansion of rights, and expansion of subject matter protected, largely as a result of technology, which has allowed new ways of expression and new ways of exploiting expression. And that’s been the focus for most of the history of international copyright agreements
