The largely unregulated early years of Canadian radio were vital to development of broadcasting policy. The Report of the Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting in 1929 and American broadcasting both changed the direction of Canadian broadcasting, but were mitigated by the early, largely unregulated years. Broadcasters operated initially as small, independent, and local broadcasters, then, national networks developed in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. The late adoption of radio broadcasting policy to build a national network in Canada allowed other practices to take root in the wake of other examples, in particular, American commercial broadcasting. By 1929 when the Aird Report recommended a national network, the potential impact of the report was shaped by the path of early broadcasting and the shifts forced on Canada by American broadcasting and policy. Eventually Canada forged its own course that pulled in both directions, permitting both private commercial networks and public national networks.

Judged by the amount of space devoted to the subject in the Journal of the Institute, Unemployment Insurance has received but little attention from actuaries in the past Public interest in the problem of relieving distress due to unemployment became pronounced in the early years of the present century and led to the appointment in 1904 of a Royal Commission on the Poor Laws and, eventually, to the passing in 1911 of the first Unemployment Insurance Act. These important events found a somewhat pallid reflection in our proceedings in the form of reprints of extracts from Sir H. Llewellyn Smith's address on Insurance against Unemployment to the British Association in 1910 (J.I.A., vol. xliv, p. 511) and of Mr. Ackland's report on Part II of the National Insurance Bill (J.I.A., vol. xlv, p. 456). At a later date, when the scope of the national scheme was very greatly widened, the Government Actuary's report on the relevant measure—the Unemployment Insurance Bill 1919—was reprinted in the Journal (J.I.A., vol. lii, page 72).

The Canadian Forest Service has reorganized its science and technology programs to focus on establishing partnerships and networks, thereby becoming a partner to business, academic institutions, other governments and voluntary organizations to stimulate increased S&T activity. Current policy issues in the forest sector reflect the changing nature of our society and the demands on forests in particular.The CFS has established national networks in the following fields: Effects of Forest Practices, Landscape Management, Climate Change, Fire Management, Socio-Economic Research, Pest Management Methods, Ecosystem Processes, Tree Biotechnology and Advanced Genetics, Biodiversity, and Forest Health.This national network-based approach to deliver its S&T program will allow us to address national and international issues while delivering programs through regional research centres. As the Canadian forest sector competes in world markets, it will have to meet international demands for sustainable forest management. Key words: networks, partnerships, alliances, forest issues

<p>In August 1988, the Labour Government announced its policy to deregulate the broadcasting industry. The policy was comprised two of major initiatives; 1. Commercialising the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand, and 2. Creating property rights out of the right to broadcast and establishing a market mechanism to allocate these. The policy was based on an economic analysis of "the Economics of Broadcasting and Government Intervention" presented to the Royal Commission on Broadcasting and Related Telecommunications in a submission devised and presented independently of any political authority or mandate by the New Zealand Treasury. This thesis is presented as a piece of "public" policy analysis, in the sense that it seeks to explain, to a non-expert audience, the strengths, weaknesses and ethical implications of Treasury's analysis as well as the outcomes or effects that deregulation has had for New Zealand society. In doing this, it seeks also to explain to the community of policy analysts and advisors - using, as much as possible, the language of modern public administration and economics - the limitations of applying 'orthodox' economic theory to the role the media plays in mediating the relationship among audiences, the state, the market and society.</p>

In December 2000 we published ‘Time Please’, a retrospective of archaeological transformation in England, by Geoffrey Wainwright, the former Chief Archaeologist of English Heritage. He reviewed the enormous changes over the last 30–40 years from his perspective at the heart of the ‘Heritage’ establishment.We have received three comments from fellow professionals which offer some alternative recollections of events, priorities and changes. Philip Rahtz, Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at York and a founder of Rescue, comments on that area, and the emergence of state archaeology in the early years. Peter Fowler, formerly Secretary to the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (England) and Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at Newcastle, comments too on Rescue, and particularly on the role of academic archaeology, including that of Extra-Mural, as one of the principal promoters of public interest and action in archaeology. David Baker (formerly County Archaeologist for Bedfordshire and Chair of ACAO) & Richard Morris (formerly Chair of the Council for British Archaeology) add their views to the debate with a candid discussion of PPG-16 and the business of planning and archaeology. Predictably, there are many perspectives on the route that archaeology, as a means to mitigate damage to the heritage, and to provide a record of the past, has taken over its years of increasingly high-profile professional and business activity.

Call Volume

Purpose. ABC's World News Tonight (WNT) promotion of 800-QUIT-NOW allowed for a nationwide introduction of the QUIT-NOW number; this study examined the impact on call volume. Design. Pre-postassessment. Setting. National health promotion campaign. Subjects. U.S. population (smokers). Measures. Monthly call attempts to the quitline at national and state levels. Intervention. During November 2005 ABC's WNT highlighted the National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines' toll-free number, 800-QUIT-NOW, during the month-long series, “Quit to Live: Fighting Lung Cancer.” Analysis. We compared changes in call volume prepromotion, during promotion, and postpromotion by percent and regional differences, range, and average number of calls. Results. Overall call volume in the United States (49 states and the District of Columbia) increased markedly in November; 37,049 calls compared with 16,145 in October. Although there was large variability across states, there was an average of 317 calls prepromotion, 726 calls during the promotion, and 397 calls postpromotion. Conclusion. The promotion highlighted the need for capacity building in terms of both sustained promotion and ability of quitlines to provide service as the number of calls increased, as well as the importance of coordinating efforts so adjustments to individual state quitlines can be made. The series served as the first national promotion and drew attention to the potential impact on the National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines.

Area Monitoring

Static satellite surveying techniques are commonly used for the geodetic monitoring of mining areas, especially to determine horizontal coordinates of points. Satellite surveys are currently being connected to permanently established reference stations. In many countries, two or more reference networks work independently. In Poland, there are four nationwide networks of reference stations and one regional network. All commercial networks must be tied to the national network ASG-EUPOS. This research paper has analysed the influence of tying the points used for mining area monitoring purposes to various reference networks on their adjusted coordinates. The author has attempted to process the results of these satellite surveys at the engineering level, most frequently encountered in the field of surveying. The computation has been carried out using commercial software. Static observations from four reference networks operating in Poland have been used to compute the coordinates of the test points: ASG-EUPOS. NadowskiNET. TPINetPRO and VRSNet.pl. Leica Geosystems Polska has not provided access to its static satellite observations for testing purposes.

Opening Paragraph

Opening ParagraphThe Luvale in Northern Rhodesia came under British administration in the early years of the present century, the first Government headquarters in Balovale district having been established in 1907. Some time previously, about 1892, they had already come under pressure from the Lozi to the south as a result of Lozi intervention in the war between the Luvale and the Lunda. When, therefore, the Barotseland protectorate was established at the beginning of the century, the Balovale district was included within it. Relations with the Lozi authorities were slight in the early years of British administration; later, about 1930, when the Lozi sought to introduce a greater degree of political control in Balovale district, their relations with the Luvale (and Lunda) became strained. The Luvale chiefs acquired a special role as the focal point of Luvale opposition to Lozi interference, and thereby enhanced their status and prestige in the eyes of their people. The Balovale district was finally excised from Barotseland in 1941 after a Royal Commission had inquired into the dispute. Thereafter certain of the Luvale chiefs were gazetted with de jure recognition under the Native Authorities Ordinance.
