Direct killing Sample Clauses

Direct killing. The dolphin processing industry, based on the mass direct killing of small cetaceans (common dolphins, harbour porpoises and bottlenose dolphins), took place in all Black Sea riparian countries (Silantyev, 1903; Xxxxxxxxxxx, 1956; Xxxxxxx, 1963; Xxxxxxxxxx and Tyutyunnikov, 1968; Xxxxxx, 1977; Xxxx and Xxxxxxx, 1992; Xxx et al., 1996; etc.). It was banned in the former USSR (present Georgia, Russia and Ukraine), Bulgaria and Romania in 1966, and since 1983 – in Turkey. Purse-seining and shooting were the two principal methods used in Black Sea cetacean fisheries. In the 19th century cetaceans were killed almost exceptionally for the oil obtained by the melting of their fat and sold as the lamp-oil for home lighting (Silantyev, 1903). In the 20th century, in the Soviet Union the dolphin oil found new application in the pharmaceutics as the raw material for vitamin-D-containing medicines and in the tanning industry as the xxxxxxx'x oil; it was used also for the manufacturing of paint, varnish, soap, engine and lubricating oil; the muscles were used for tinned meat and sausages, the skin for leather goods, and the residues of cetacean carcasses were utilized for the production of “fish” meal, bone fertilizer and xxxx (Xxxxxxxxxxx, 1956; Tomilin, 1957). The lubricating oils, “Delfinol” vitaminous remedy, shoe polish, leather and dried meat were produced in Bulgaria (Tsvetkov and Xxxxx, 1983). The main products of Turkish dolphin fisheries were the oil and meal for poultry feed (Xxxxxx, 1977; Xxx et al., 1996; Xxxxxx, 1999). The precise number of Black Sea cetaceans killed and processed in the 19th and 20th centuries is unknown. In the 20th century in the former Russian Empire and then in the USSR it undoubtedly exceeded 1.5 million animals of all three species, while other Black Sea states together probably killed about four to five million (Birkun et al., 1992; Xxxxxx and Krivokhizhin, 1996 b). It is commonly acknowledged that the Black Sea cetacean populations were strongly reduced by the fishery (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 1974; Xxxxx, 1982; Xxxxxxxxx, 1991), and that perhaps they did not recover until now (Xxxxxx and Krivokhizhin, 2001). A lack of reliable population estimates (Xxxxx, 1982; Xxxxxxxx et al., 1992; IWC, 1992 ) does not allow to confirm or reject this as sumption. The statistics of Black Sea cetacean fisheries were usually expressed as total weight or total numbers in the catch without species differentiation. However, since the 19th century the bo...

  • PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and patient, and the particular problems you hope to address. There are many different methods I may use to deal with those problems. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home. Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Because therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. When treating insomnia specifically, therapy might cause you to experience increased sleepiness and fatigue, especially in the early phases of treatment. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to have benefits for people who go through it. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, significant reductions in feelings of distress, improved sleep, and less fatigue. But there are no guarantees as to what you will experience. Our first session will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with me for therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions about whether you feel comfortable working with me. At the end of the evaluation, I will notify you if I believe that I am not the right therapist for you and if so, I will give you referrals to other practitioners who I believe are better suited to help you. Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion. Please note that the psychological services I provide are not for emergency situations. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. FEES My fee is $395 for an initial evaluation lasting 90 minutes, and $250 for each subsequent psychotherapy session (either in-person or over the telephone) lasting 45 minutes. I charge this same $250 per 45-minutes rate for other professional services you may need, though I will prorate the cost if I work for periods of less than 45 minutes in increments of 15 minutes, rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment (e.g., 22 minutes of service will be charged for 15 minutes whereas 23 minutes of service will be charged for 30 minutes). Other professional services include telephone conversations or email responses lasting longer than 15 minutes, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of me. If you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, you will be expected to pay for any professional time I spend on your legal matter, even if the request comes from another party, at the same $250 per 45-minutes rate. I do not charge for time spent writing reports and progress notes as per the standard routine of my care of you. I also do not charge for any time I may spend collaborating with your other providers. From time to time, I may institute fee increases and these will be discussed and agreed upon ahead of time with a new Treatment Contract. If it has been more than one year since our last appointment, then you will re-initiate services at my current standard fee which may be higher than the fee you were previously paying. In addition, if it has been more than one year since our last appointment, you will be scheduled for another initial evaluation (90 minutes) and charged accordingly, with subsequent 45-minute psychotherapy sessions thereafter. INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT You are responsible for paying your full session fee. I am not in-network with any insurance companies. If you decide to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement for any out-of-network benefits you might have, you may do so. However, be aware that the services provided will still be charged to you, not your insurance company, and you are responsible for the full payment. I have no role in deciding what your insurance covers. You are responsible for checking your insurance coverage, deductibles, payment rates, pre-authorization procedures, etc. Missed appointments, late cancellations (i.e., cancellations within 24 hours of service), and telephone session are not typically covered by insurance companies and therefore you will likely be responsible for the full session fee in these instances. If your insurance company doesn’t reimburse you, I am not responsible for refunding you any payment you expected to be reimbursed or otherwise. I will provide you a superbill after each session with the following information that you will need to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for any out-of-network benefits you might have:
