An existing ship in such a case shall not, as a rule, comply to a lesser extent with the requirements for a new ship than it did before.(2) Repairs, alterations and modifications of a major character and outfitting related thereto should meet the requirements for a new ship in so far as the Administration deems reasonable and practicable.Article 11 Zones and Areas(1) A ship to which the present Convention applies shall comply with the requirements applicable to that ship in the zones and areas described in Annex II.(2) A port standing on the boundary line between two zones or areas shall be regarded as within the zone or area from or into which the ship arrives or departs.Article 12 Submersion(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this Article,the appropriate load lines on the sides of the ship corresponding to the season of the year and the zone or area in which the ship may be shall not be submerged at any time when the ship puts to sea, during the voyage or on arrival.(2) When a ship is in fresh water of unit density the appropriate load line may be submerged by the amount of the fresh water allowance shown on the International Load Line Certificate.

1998年布里斯本世界博览会(中英对照)

Expo 1998 LisbonExpo '98 (in full, 1998 Lisbon World Exposition) was an official specialised World's Fair held in Lisbon, Portugal from May 22 to September 30, 1998. The theme of the fair was "The Oceans, a Heritage for the Future," chosen in part to commemorate 500 years of Portuguese discoveries. The Expo received around 11 million visitors in 132 days. 155 countries and organizations were represented.BeforeThe idea to organize a World's Fair in Portugal originated in 1989 between two Portuguese -António Taurino Mega Ferreira and Vasco Graça Moura - who were in charge of organizing the commemoration of the coming 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's arrival in India in 1498.Once Government support was obtained, Ferreira led the bid to the Bureau of International Expositions, which in 1992 declared Lisbon the winner, against the other contender Toronto, Canada. State company Parque Expo was formed to make the Fair a self-sustained event, with revenue coming from admission tickets and, especially, sales of real estate and parcel lots at the Expo's emplacement.The first Commissioner of Expo '98 (and Parque Expo's CEO) was António Cardoso e Cunha. He was replaced in 1997 by José de Melo Torres Campos, after a general election changed the governing party.The area chosen for the Expo '98 was a 5 km (3.5 mile)-wide strip covering 50 hectares at Lisbon's east end alongside the Tagus river.Expo '98 was fully built from scratch. Every building was pre-sold for after-Expo repurposing thus ensuring that, after the Expo closed, the site would not be left semi-abandoned, as had happened with previous expos, particularly Seville Expo '92To support the expected flux of visitors, an extensive access program was devised, including:* a new bridge across the river, the Vasco da Gama Bridge (the longest in Europe)* a new line of the Lisbon Metro, with seven stations (five of which were ready for opening day)* a new main multi-modal terminal, featuring trains, metro, buses, and taxis, called Gare do Oriente, architect Santiago Calatrava.DuringExpo '98 opened on May 22, 1998 with 141 countries and 14 international organizations featured in individual pavilions. Almost every exhibitor respected the Expo's theme "The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future".Oceans Pavilion, now the Lisbon OceanariumThere were additional thematic pavilions dedicated to Water, Sea Knowledge, Virtual Reality (paid), Future, Oceans, and Oceanophilia; and exhibitions: "Leonardo Da Vinci@expo98- La Dinamica dell'Acqua", "Roads of the Porcelain", and "Shells and Man".Additional attractions included: a 15,000-seat Utopia Pavilion with a resident theatrical show, Camões Theater, nautical exhibition, Garcia de Orta tropical gardens, Swatch Pavilion, "World of Coca-Cola" exhibition, Expo Adrenalin, 120 m-tall observation tower (paid) , funicular (paid), and nightly water-show Acqua Matrix.One of the five major theme pavilions at Lisbon’s Expo 98, the Utopia Pavilion was among the most popular. Reflecting the Exposition’s overall theme of “The Oceans: a Heritage for the Future” and designed by the renowned François Confino and Philippe Genty, the pavilion featured a large-scale multimedia spectacle that presented the oceans as stimulators of imagery, taking visitors on a voyage from the creation of the world to the present day. Combining traditional stage technology with highly innovative special effects and mechanical controls,gsmprjct°intégration)handled all of the logistics and technical direction for the project.Housed in a custom-built covered stadium with a seating capacity of 10,000, the show was performed over 500 times, making it the first time that a World’s Fair show was staged for over 3 million people.The Oceania Virtual Reality Pavilion was the b iggest hit of Lisbon’s Expo 98, attracting over half a million visitors in a four-month period. Despite being the only pavilion at Expo 98 that required an additional admission fee, people spent hours waiting in line for this breathtaking 30-minute thrill ride that made use of seamlessly integrated simulators, virtual reality visors, and interactive projections. The payoff was a virtual submarine voyage to an underwater base where visitors discovered the ruins of a lost civilization and encountered a sea monster before escaping back to the surface in Teleport capsules.gsmprjct° was commissioned to design and produce Oceania, planning the look and feel of the overall experience, in addition to acting as project manager,architectural coordinator, and general contractor. Divided into several rooms, the pavilion featured a 45-person simulated submarine ride and 70mm film, a 3D stereoscopic viewing system with custom content, and custom-designed motion simulators with audio-visual content.The Oceans Pavilion, built to be the Lisbon Oceanarium after the Expo closed, had the longest lines. Other popular pavilions, with lines of up to five hours on busier days, included Portugal (architecture by Álvaro Siza Vieira), Spain, Sweden, Germany, and Virtual Reality.Total number of visitors reached 10,128,204, for a duration of 132 days. Admission prices (adult) were 5,000 escudos PTE ($34 USD at then-exchange rates) for one day, 12,500 escudos ($84) for three non-consecutive days, and 50,000 escudos ($334) for three months.Logo and MascotThe Expo logo symbolizes the Sea and the Sun. It was conceived by Portuguese Augusto Tavares Dias, creative director in an advertising agency, and selected from 1,288 entries.The Expo mascot was conceived by the Portuguese duo of painter António Modesto and sculptor Artur Moreira. It was selected from 309 entries. It is named Gil, after Portuguese navigator Gil Eanes. The name was chosen by high-school student José Luís Coelho, from 765 entries.AfterExpo '98 closed its doors on September 30, 1998. The site remained closed until February 1999, when it reopened as "Parque das Nações" (Park of the Nations), a free-access park, keeping the gardens, Oceanarium (Europe's then largest aquarium), observation tower, funicular, and the Virtual Reality pavilion. Other buildings were repurposed for the opening, including:* the main entrance (sun door), converted to Centro Vasco da Gama, a regional shopping mall (opened on April 27 1999)* the main exhibition pavilions, converted to Feira Internacional de Lisboa (Lisbon International Exhibition Fair)* Utopia Pavilion, converted to Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon's main multi-purpose indoor arena * Knowledge of the Seas Pavilion, converted to Knowledge Pavilion, a hands-on science museum* another exhibition pavilion, converted to a bowling alley, but subsequently demolished * Future Pavilion, now the Casino Lisboa.Within Parque das Nações, every other building or vacant parcel lot was sold for office or living space, to offset the Expo's costs. The Virtual Reality Pavilion is currently scheduled for demolition.The area today is thriving, modern, stylish, and safe, attracting 18 million tourists a year to its gardens, museums, commercial areas and modern buildings. It has also become permanent residency for up to 25,000 people and one of Lisbon's premier business centers, with many multinational corporations basing their headquarters in its main avenue.Parque Expo has lived beyond Expo '98, not just being still the manager of Parque das Nações but, having acquired the know-how in urban conversion and planning, sells its advising and consultancy services to other cities around the world.1998年的布里斯本世界博览会98年世博会(全称是:1998年布里斯本世界博览会)是一场由官方专门举办的世博会。
Furniture and Furnishings 1988

The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 (amended 1989 & 1993)(Consumer Protection Act 1987)The Regulations come into force on: 1st March 1993 for new lettings and the transitional period ends on 31st December 1996 .These regulations set new levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery, acting as secondary legislation under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. These regulations set new levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture, furnishings and other products containing upholstery, acting as secondary legislation under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. The regulations include sensible measures to improve the fire safety of materials used in their construction. Landlords and letting agents are also included under the scope of the Regulations. The Amendment Regulations introduced in 1993 draw specific attention to the responsibilities of letting agents and those engaged in the 'letting of accommodation'. The Regulations refer to the 'supply' of furniture and furnishings and it has been established that in many cases, a letting agent or commercial landlord is deemed to be 'supplying in the course of business' when these types of items are included within a property.The bulk of the regulations deal with the duties of manufacturers (and importers if manufactured abroad) in producing and supplying domestic furniture and furnishings to the required new standards for fire resistance. These standards include two tests; the match test and the cigarette test. For new furniture, the net effect of the regulations is that any such products manufactured after 1st March 1989 or sold by a retailer after 1st March 1990 shall be to the new standards and will be labeled accordingly (see section entitled 'Identification'). However, in the case of letting agents or landlord letting in the course of business, the furniture 'supplied' will invariably be second-hand and in many cases was manufactured and purchased prior to 1989. Effective 1st March 1993, landlords letting residential property will be expected to ensure that any soft furniture complies with the regulations. There is an exemption period for properties already being let at this date - for further information, see section headed 'Transitional Arrangements' below.The main provisions are:upholstered articles (i.e. beds, sofas, armchairs etc.) must have fire resistant fillingmaterialupholstered articles must have passed a match resistance test or, if of certain kinds(such as cotton or silk) be used with a fire resistant interliner.the combination of the cover fabric and the filling material must have passed acigarette resistance test.The regulations apply to:Beds, headboards of beds and mattressesSofa-beds, futons and other convertiblesNursery furnitureGarden furniture which is suitable for use in dwellingScatter cushions and seat padsPillowsLoose and stretch covers for furnitureExtra or replacement furniture purchased for rented accommodationThe regulations do not apply to:Antique furniture or any furniture made before 1950Bed-clothes (including duvets)Loose covers for mattressesPillowcasesCurtainsCarpetsSleeping bags1. NEW LETTINGS AFTER 1/3/93:Inspect property for non-compliant items before lettingInsist that any non-compliant furniture be removed or replaced prior to letting.2. LETTINGS IN EXISTENCE PRIOR TO 1/3/93Ensure that any replacement furniture complies with Regulations and keep allreceipts and attached labels. Do not buy any furniture on behalf of clients which does not comply.Discuss a replacement plan such that all existing non-compliant items are replacedbefore the property is first relet to new tenants after 31st December 1996.3. ALL LETTINGS:Produce a leaflet to inform all landlords of the new RegulationsCheck that you have an adequate indemnity clause within the agency agreement.Your terms and conditions should also include a new clause whereby the landlordwarrants that all furniture and furnishings comply with the new regulations (althoughthis alone would not constitute sufficient defence against taking on any furniture found later to be non-compliant)4. DUTY OF CARE:The agent has a duty of care to the client to give proper advice about the Regulations.ALSO NOTE:A. FIRE-RETARDANT SPRAY TREATMENT: Some firms are now offering to spray furniture with a fire-retardant spray to make it fire-proof. The DTI have stated that they believe that this treatment is normally ineffective (as the spray treatment largely serves to treat the covering fabric but not the foam filling).B. SIGNING THE LETTING AGREEMENT: Some advice regarding the regulations has suggested that asking the landlord to sign the tenancy agreement (instead of the agent) will indemnify the agent against liability. An expert opinion taken from a Q.C. submitted this was largely ineffective. The lack of reference to the agent in the letting agreement could be a helpful defence although a court may look on this as a mere contrivance to mask the fact that the agent was still the 'supplier'.A transition period has been allowed for soft furnishings included in properties that were let prior to 1st March 1993. The arrangements require that any applicable furnishings shall comply to the new standards with the first new let after 31st December 1996. A renewal of the same tenancy or substantially the same tenancy does not constitute a new let. Therefore non-compliant furniture can remain in these properties, provided it was included in the original let, until there is a change of tenancy after this date. All additional or replacement furniture must be compliant regardless of when the tenancy began.PRIVATE LANDLORDS. It is the view of the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) that a private landlord or owner in some situations (e.g. letting a single dwelling) who lets his property on a one-off short-term basis (whilst, for example, he is temporarily working away from home) is not a commercial landlord and therefore not a 'supplier in the course of business'. However an Agent when acting for such an owner is subject to the Regulations, even if the landlord is not; this is one of the seemingly unfair distinctions that arise in the Regulations.PRE-1950 FURNITURE. Furniture produced prior to 1950 is exempt from the regulations. DUE DILIGENCE. Section 39 of the Act provides a defence of 'due diligence'. That section provides that it shall be a defence to show that a person took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid committing the offence. Merely asking the landlord to sign a statement that there is non-compliant furniture is not considered to be sufficient in this respect. Counsel's opinion has been taken. Asking for proof of the date of purchase (i.e. receipts) would be good verification. Alternatively the agent could ask the manufacturer (or ask the landlord to do so) whether the furniture in question complies or not and if still unclear, the landlord should be advised to get technical advice.FIND TENANT ONLY: The Department of the Environment has suggested that an agent acting only in the capacity of introducing suitable tenants to a landlord (and taking no part in the preparation of an inventory or day-to-day management) is exempted from the Regulations.The officials of the local trading standards office will be responsible for ensuring compliance and initiating any proceedings. At this stage, it is unlikely that pro-active enforcement will be carried out - their general policy is only to investigate following a complaint or serious incident (e.g. a fire in a rented property).The maximum penalty for non-compliance is six-months imprisonment or a fine of £5,000, or both.The regulations revoke the Upholstered Furniture (Safety) Regulations 1980 and the Upholstered Furniture (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 1983./html/Legislation/furnregs.htmLocal Trading Standards OfficerHMSO: Copy of 1988 Regulations: S.I. 1988 No. 1324Copy of 1989 Amendment Regulations: S.I. 1989 No. 2358Copy of 1993 Amendment Regulations: S.I. 1993 No. 207All available from The Stationery Office, 0870 1502 500 or from their websiteat When buying new or second-hand furniture for a rental property, you should always check to see that there is an appropriate label.

1988年海上反恐公约及相关议定书的签订

1988年海上反恐公约及相关议定书的签订沈肇圻史海漫步 History Story1988年2月1日至10日,应意大利政府邀请,国际海事组织在罗马联合国粮食和农业组织总部召开制止危及海上航行安全非法行为外交大会,制订了“制止危及海上航行安全非法行为公约”和“制止危及大陆架固定平台安全非法行为议定书”。
起 因1985年10月7日夜,意大利豪华游轮“阿基莱·劳罗”号,在由地中海东部的埃及亚历山大港去萨德港途中遭劫持。
当时船上有旅客201人和船员344人。
幸好另外600名旅客已离船上岸去参观金字塔。
旅客多数为奥地利人。
在劫持中,一名美国旅客被打死。
这次劫持把世界公众对劫持民航飞机的普遍关注转移到了海上航行方面。
实际上,对船舶的恐怖主义行为,这已不是第一次。
1961年曾发生葡萄牙反政府武装袭击“圣玛丽亚”号客船;1975年11月和12月苏联客船“马克西姆·高尔基”号在波多黎各港口分别遭炸弹和机枪袭击;发生这次劫持事件后,1986年6月西班牙游击队在萨哈拉西海岸袭击了一艘摩洛哥船。
对国际恐怖主义,1973年12月14日联合国在纽约制订了“关于防止和惩处侵害应受国际保护人员包括外交代表的罪行国际公约”,1979年12月17日联合国在纽约又制订了“反对劫持人质国际公约”,而在民用航空方面则早已制订了制止非法行为公约,它们是1963年东京公约、1970年海牙公约和1971年蒙特利尔公约,从各个方面采取国际合作来制止国际恐怖主义行为。
国际海事组织亦已多次讨论过防止外来袭击,维护航海安全问题。
例如1979年11月15日第十一届全体大会通过海大461号(Ⅺ届)决议——“船长和船员的非法行为以及非法劫持船舶和船上货物”;1983年11月17日第十三届全体大会通过海大545号(XIII届)决议——“防止海盗行为和武装抢劫船舶的措施”;1984年11月19日至30日召开的第五十次海上安全委员会上,秘书处还通报了近期会员国报告的海上暴力事件。

The students there were mostly Hispanic, and many of them came from families that didn't have a lot of money.

Today, I want to tell you about this really cool movie I watched called "Stand and Deliver." It's a true story that happened in the 1980s, and it's all about a teacher named Jaime Escalante and his students in East Los Angeles.Mr. Escalante was a math teacher at a high school where most of the students were from poor families and didn't do very well in their classes. But Mr. Escalante believed that his students could learn really hard math, like calculus, even though everyone thought it was too difficult for them.At first, the students didn't really care much about math, and they thought Mr. Escalante was just another boring teacher. But he didn't give up on them. He stayed after school to teach extra classes, and he even went to their homes to talk to their parents about how important it was for them to study hard.Slowly, the students started to see how much Mr. Escalante cared about them and how much he believed in their abilities. They started working harder and harder, staying after school to learn from him and practicing math problems at home.Things got really exciting when Mr. Escalante entered his students in a calculus test that was usually only taken by students from fancy schools. Nobody believed that the kids from East Los Angeles could pass this test, but Mr. Escalante knew they could do it.The night before the test, the students studied together and encouraged each other. They were so excited to show everyone what they could do. And when the test results came back, theyhad all passed with flying colors! It was a huge victory for Mr. Escalante and his students.But then, some people accused the students of cheating because they couldn't believe that these kids from a poor neighborhood could be so good at math. Mr. Escalante and his students were really upset, but they didn't give up. They proved their innocence and showed everyone that with hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve great things.I loved this movie because it teaches us that we should never underestimate people or give up on our dreams. Mr. Escalante believed in his students when no one else did, and his students worked hard and proved everyone wrong. It's a story about determination, perseverance, and the power of education to change lives.After watching this movie, I feel inspired to work hard in school and never give up, no matter what challenges I face. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be a math whiz too, just like Mr. Escalante's students!篇4I will write an original essay about the film Stand and Deliver in the voice of an elementary school student, around 2000 wordslong. However, I cannot reproduce any copyrighted material from the film's script, lyrics, or other sources. I will draw inspiration from the film's themes and premise but ensure the essay's content is completely original. Here is my attempt:Stand and Deliver is a Really Cool MovieStand and Deliver is a really cool movie that I watched in school. It's based on a true story about a math teacher named Jaime Escalante who worked at a high school in a poor neighborhood in Los Angeles in the 1980s. The movie shows how Mr. Escalante helped his students learn calculus and pass the advanced placement test, even though nobody thought they could do it.The students in Mr. Escalante's class didn't care about math at first. They thought it was too hard and not important for their lives. But Mr. Escalante refused to give up on them. He pushed them to work really hard and believed they were just as smart as kids at fancy schools. Slowly, the students started to believe in themselves too.My favorite parts were when the students struggled but never quit. Like when one student named Angel kept falling asleep in class because he had to work a night job. Mr. Escalante made him come extra early to wake up. Angel got mad at first,but later he thanked Mr. Escalante for not letting him fail. There was another student named Pancho who was a troublemaker, but Mr. Escalante saw he was just bored. Once Pancho got interested in math competitions, he used his energy in a good way.The teachers and principal didn't make it easy for Mr. Escalante either. They thought his students couldn't handle advanced classes. Some accused the students of cheating when they started passing the tests. Mr. Escalante had to fight for computer labs and summer schools so his kids could keep learning. It wasn't fair how nobody believed in the students until they proved themselves.Towards the end, the big test day finally arrived. All the students were stressed out after studying so hard all year. The exam was super long and difficult. Lots of the teens thought they had failed. But when the results came back, many of them scored high enough to get college credits! The best students were even recruited by good colleges. The movie showed how achieving a huge goal through hard work and determination can change lives.I loved how inspiring and powerful this true story was. It taught me that it doesn't matter where you come from or whatskin color you have - if you work hard and never give up, you can overcome challenges and accomplish amazing things. Jaime Escalante saw potential in students that society had given up on. With his dedication and belief in them, those teenagers were able to defy expectations and reach for their dreams.After seeing the movie, I realized my teachers and parents push me to work hard because they know I can achieve anything if I try my best. Sometimes schoolwork is frustrating, but Stand and Deliver reminded me it's worth the effort. Having a positive attitude and working hard are the keys to success, no matter what obstacles you face. This movie inspired me to always keep believing in myself like Mr. Escalante's students did.Overall, Stand and Deliver is an awesome and uplifting film. I think everyone should watch it, especially students feeling discouraged or underestimated. The true story reminds us that with enough determination and perseverance, no dream is too big or out of reach. Mr. Escalante's students overcame poverty, racism, and low expectations through their passion for learning and refusing to give up. Thanks to their iconic teacher's guidance, those teens achieved something incredibly difficult that changed篇5Stand and Deliver: A Movie That'll Make You Cheer!Hey kids!
