    Ventichthys gen. nov. Type species Ventichthys biospeedoi n. sp. (type locality: South East Pacific Rise, 17º25.38’S, 113º12.29’W, 2586 m). Diagnosis An ophidiid genus with robust body; very small, overlapping scales on head and body; thick skin; posteriorly placed, enlarged kidneys; four lateral lines; dorsal fin origin above tip of pectorals; base of pelvic fin below hind margin of opercle; head broad with blunt snout; strong opercular spine covered by thick skin; upper jaw ends just behind eye; teeth granular, one median basibranchial tooth patch; anterior gill arch with 10-11 long rakers; number of rays in dorsal fin 80-89, caudal fin 8, anal fin 64-72, pelvic fin 2, pectoral fin 24-25; number of vertebrae 16-17 + 36 (in total 52-53). Similarity A phylogenetic analysis of the Ophidiidae needs to be made, but there are two genera, Benthocometes (Goode and Bean, 1886) and Petrotyx Heller and Snodgrass, 1903 that are similar to Ventichthys in having a blunt snout, no free pectoral fin rays, granular teeth, and one basibranchial tooth patch. The differences between the three genera are shown in Table 2. Etymology Vent refers to the hydrothermal vent and ichthys to fish.Published as part of Jørgen G. Nielsen, Peter Rask Møller & Michel Segonzac, 2006, Ventichthys biospeedoi n. gen. et sp. (Teleostei, Ophidiidae) from a hydrothermal vent in the South East Pacific., pp. 13-24 in Zootaxa 1247 on page 1

    The A.P Møller shares, the US dollar and the price of oil

    1. Brief Introduction. The two companies D/S Svendborg and D/S 1912 have for almost a century been the parent companies of the A.P. Møller Group. These companies were founded by Mr. Arnold Peter Møller and his father Captain Peter Mærsk Møller. They were in the beginning entirely into shipping. In 1912, the fleet consisted of 6 vessels. Much has happened since the company was founded: The A.P. Møller Group has by any standards become the biggest company in Denmark. Moreover, “Svendborg" and “1912" have recently been merged into one company “A.P. Møller – Mærsk A/S". However, as we shall be concerned with the performance of the company also in the past we will repeatedly make reference to the historic parent companies. As “Svendborg" and "1912" grew bigger they expanded into a number of other businesses.Shipping and Offshore Activities; Oil and Gas

    Ivan Krylóv: Fabler

    No full text
    This is a serious edition of Krylov's fables. It is complete and careful to follow Krylov's order of fables. About every six pages there is a good black-and-white illustration. The only colored illustration (12) repeats the cover's portrait of Krylov. The text margins are generous and the illustrations large. Fables and illustrations that caught my attention on this viewing of the book include The Trigamist (I 20); The Bag (III 7); Author and Robber (VI 24); and The Crow (VII 26). I do not yet understand the fit between fable and image in Leaves and Roots (IV 2). It strikes me that Krylov's illustrators present his fables as quite stark. For all their seriousness, Aesop and La Fontaine seem to draw more fun out of artists. The key fables in Krylov, both borrowed and new, tend to have illustrations here, as is only right. Each fable has a comment in a section near the book's end. That section is followed by an acknowledgement of the eight artists -- Brjullov, Kandaurov, Panov, Petrov, Popov, Sapozjnikov, Serov, and Trutovskij -- and four institutions whose art is presented here. The last two elements of the book are a T of C and an AI of fables. This is one of the heavier books that made my Scandinavian burden a challenge flying home from Europe!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: DanishPa dansk ved Lars P. Poulsen-Hansen & Holger Scheibe
