Dr Mohamed Abdulaziz Kalmoor, CEO of Bank Sohar, said, "At Bank Sohar, we strive to be the best at everything that we do. The acquisition of this machine will greatly facilitate the speedy counting ...of vast sums of money.
Abdulnabi Macki also pointed out that the Omani-Chinese relations witnessed a rapid growth over the last three decades, particularly in the fields of commerce, investment and economic. As far as ...bilateral trade is concerned, Chinese imports to Oman soared from RO 81.8 million in 2005 to RO 329.4 million in 2009 while the Omani exports to China increased from RO 1.6 billion to RO 1.8 billion during the period. This is attributed to the sharp decline in the oil price although it rose in 2008 to RO 4.1 billion. Macki underlined that future expectations are focused on activating commercial opportunities between the two countries through encouraging mutual participation in international commercial exhibitions, as well as, activating the role of the chambers of commerce in two countries to facilitate and increase the visits of businessmen from both countries. Macki said that Oman's economy is recording a positive growth rate this year as it is expected to hit 6.1 per cent in terms of fixed price and 18.4 per cent in terms of current price. The governmental gross revenue is expected to reach RO 6.4 billion while the governmental expenditure is expected to reach RO 7.2 billion, which include RO 4.4 billion current expenditure and RO 2.1 billion investment expenditure.
The current status of the whiskery shark (
Furgaleus macki) stock in south-western Australia was assessed using an age and sex structured model. The best estimates of total and mature biomass in ...1997/1998 were 38.8% of virgin, and 23.0% of virgin, respectively. The 95% confidence intervals for total biomass were 22.7–47.2%, and for mature biomass were 13.4–36.4%. Thirteen scenarios were used to test the sensitivity of the model to catch and effort, biological, and gear parameters. The estimates of current biomass were most sensitive to variations in catch and effort data. A scenario testing the use of raw catch and effort data produced unrealistically low estimates of current biomass, while a scenario testing the hypothesis that there had been no efficiency increases in the fishery over time indicated that biomass was currently higher than indicated by the best estimate. The remainder of the scenarios tested produced estimates of total biomass between 32 and 40% of virgin, and mature biomass between 21 and 30% of virgin. Risk analysis was used to test three biological reference points: that the total biomass would be at least 40% of virgin by 2010/2011 (a management committee target), that the total biomass in 2010/2011 will not be below that of 1996/1997, and that the stock would collapse. The results of risk analysis indicates that to achieve at least a 50% probability for the first two biological reference points, annual catches would need to be below 190
tonnes until 2010. The probability of a population crash before 2010 is approximately 5% when future catches are 175
tonnes, and greater than 50% when catches are above 280
tonnes. Risk analysis indicates that there is a need to substantially reduce commercial catches if the target set by the management committee is to be met.
"We had to win all week, and we've won the first two of three games," River Ridge coach Jami Macki said. "I'm really proud of the girls, of how they've improved over the season and how they're ...working hard to catch up this week for district." "It was a big game for us in the sense that we're getting ready for the playoffs and we're trying to spoil the best team in the league's season," T-Birds coach Clay Hill said. "It was a good game. We hit the ball hard, but they do play very good defense." "Some baserunning errors took us out of scoring opportunities," Don Franklin said. "We're a pretty young team, and the players have their moments. It's youth and consistency we're struggling with."

"I think they're great," Teresa Williams said. "The team plays more team ball. They're hitting better. They're more disciplined. She has a really young team (only one senior). She was dealt a hard ...hand. She's done really well with them." "As a former track coach that was a tempting scenario," Wheeler said. "But I'm going to go to Wenatchee. I'm just really excited for the program and the girls at River Ridge. I'm also excited for the boys and girls track teams." "I think they should be proud of the achievement just to go to state," said Ruth Cramer, whose daughter, Kendal, is a freshman on the team. "As I was telling my daughter: 'Records don't count anymore. You all start over at the state tournament.' They should be proud of what they've achieved. It's a good springboard for next year."
