Teachers who sail aboard NOAA ships write daily logs of their experiences and e-mail them to the NOAA program coordinator. The new Web site’s main feature allows access to these logs, which include information about sea temperatures and other data, research of the day, and interviews with scientists and crew.

The Emmy award-winning NOAA documentary, Saving Springer , is a remarkable and inspirational story about the work that NOAA does every day. Springer, a young abandoned killer whale, might have faced a solitary existence, left to make her way as best she could.

Land Measurements When buying a house in France land is usually quoted in Hectares 1 Hectare = 10,000 square metres = 2.5 acres (approx) 8,000 square metres = 2 acres (approx) 4,000 square metres =1 acre (approx) 2,000 square metres = 0.5 acres (approx) 10 Ares =1000 square metres = 0.25 acre (approx) 1 Are = 100 square metres Magazines for French Property Buyers - Notaries A Notary in France is a public officer responsible to the Ministry of Justice. They have to ensure that all the requirements of French Law are satisfied, and that all taxes are paid. They cannot advice you and you should consider engaging your own solicitor. When you buy a property in France the money is always paid directly to the Notary, not the vendor. Title deeds must also be signed in front of a Notary. Other Measurements Plumbing and Central heating - copper pipe sizes in France (outside daimeter sizes) WC Basin Bidet Shower Bath Sink 10mm 12mm 12mm 14mm 16mm 14mm Equivalent sizes relating to British Standard Pipe Threads (BSP) are as follows; 1/4 BSP 3/8 1/2 3/4 1 inch 1 1/4 1 1/2 8/13 mm 12/17 15/21 20/27 26/34 33/42 40/49 Points to consider when buying See as many properties as possible Choose a lawyer who speaks French and understands the French legal system Be aware of the inheritance laws before you sign any document Remember that the notaire acts for both parties Don't even think of gazumping - it's illegal in France. Once an offer has been accepted, no others will be considered. Once the deposit is paid the deal is binding Estate agents fees can be split between the vendor and the purchaser. Check before you proceed. Always check the cost of installing services should they be needed - it could be prohibitive. Add about 10% of the purchase price as a guide to buying costs. There is no leasehold in France so find out about management arrangements when buying a flat. Property Shows Free tickets on 01323 726040. www.french-property-news.com . Property Taxes There are two taxes on all residential property (houses and flats). These are collected by the State for the local authority's. These taxes are assessed at individual rates according to location and can vary substantially. Ask your estate agent for these details when you are looking at properties to buy. 1 - Taxe foncière. As the owner of a property on the first day of January, you are liable for paying this tax which is due for payment by October/November. Penalties or fines are added for late payment, but it is possible to arrange a monthly payment scheme. 2 - Taxe d'habitation. The occupant of the property on the first day of January is liable for paying this tax. Even if you only use the property on occasional visits, if it is furnished and supplied with water and electricity you are liable for this tax. Swimming Pools Eau Sparke , 24700.

SIRET numbers Check if your artisan is legally registered and entitled to work in France. - www.infobilan.fr - Type in the number to see if it is legal. www.cofacerating.fr - Surname, name and number checked. - www.infogreffe.fr - Surname, name and number checked. - www.societe.com . Quite a detailed check. What is a SIRET number? Information from - www.artisan-anglais.com. The SIRET number is an identification number for each French business. It is unique to that business and legally linked to a particular person. If several people engage in similar activities at the same geographical location then each must have their own SIRET number. The SIRET number is also linked to the geographical site as well so the same legal person should get a different SIRET number if his activity takes place in several different locations. It is set up by the INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques ) in the framework of the system SYRENE. (Système National Informatique pour le Répertoire des Entreprises et des Etablissements) The SIRET number is made up of several different identifiers and is unique to the particular business. Companies (entreprises) who run several businesses in different areas must have a SIRET number for each business and different establishments who work individually in the same location must also have individual SIRET numbers. The SIRET consists of 14 digits. The first 9 numbers are the SIREN number for the business. The first 8 digits have no significance except for administrative purposes and to organisations such as communes, fiscal offices etc. They identify the business as well as its location on the national list. The ninth digit is a check digit and has no link to the characteristics of the type business concerned. The SIREN is only issued once and removed from the list as soon as the business ceases to function, the owner dies or the business is dissolved. As it is legally linked to an individual, it is not transferred. The second part of the SIRET number is the NIC (Numéro Interne de Classement) which consists of 5 digits. The first 4 identify the business (or one of several businesses in the case of an enterprise running several establishments) The 5th digit is another check digit to validate the complete 14 number code. All registered workers should be immatriculated with the Centres de Formalités des Entreprises (CFE) at their local Chambres de Commerce, Chambre de Métiers, Tribunaux de Commerce, or the URSSAF, Services Fiscaux, or regional office of the INSEE. The only real ways to check if someone is registered for all trades they advertise are: 1. Ask to see his/her "carte d'indentification" issued by the local Chambre de Metiers which lists the trades on the card. This is a white card with green writing on the cover, and everyone has to have one. 2. Contact the Chambre des Metiers and ask direct. 3. Ask to see insurance documents for responsabilité civile and decennial which are the two obligatory insurances in France. The insurance document will show and list the items or trades which the artisan is insured to undertake. Electricity, Gas, Water & T.V. - Electricité de France , 2, rue Louis Murat. 75384. Paris.
