Topic: NANPA


In the News (Sat 6 Sep 08)

  
  Nanpa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nanpa or nampa (Japanese: ナンパ), in Japanese culture, is a type of flirting and seduction, popular among teenagers and people in their twenties.
Nanpa tends to occur on busy streets and other lively public places, notably Shibuya Station in Tokyo.
Although it is rare in practice, nanpa is socially acceptable in Japan, and tolerated as a natural youthful indiscretion, although most women consider it a form of street harassment.

 Photo Safaris - Reinventing NANPA
NANPA is starting to be perceived as an organization of limited substance, one that is not moving forward with enough meaningful projects that will improve or enhance the working environment for nature photographers, nor is it making significant progress in the tasks it currently sets out for itself.
NANPA could become a clearinghouse for amateur nature photography programs that these young photographers could present to schools, nature centers and retirement communities in their local areas, giving the students training in presentation skills in a public arena and public recognition that could enhance their careers while also promoting nature photography and environmental awareness.
NANPA can be instrumental in suggesting or setting up ways for these shooters to plan tax strategies for the futures of their families and for the charitable organizations that could benefit from the images that outlast them.

NANPA will attend as many of the implementation meetings as necessary to assist the industry and to gather the requisite material and information, e.g., test numbers, contact names, NXX lists, ANI conversion schedules, etc., that will be included in the NANPA Planning Letter.
NANPA has reviewed the potential changes suggested in the IMG Report and discussed what could be done to the Pooling Model to meet their recommendations.
NANPA made it clear to the IMG that the suggested changes to the Pooling Model (enhancing the Model to cover other years and using a subset of NPAs where pooling was likely) were significant modifications.

 NANPA : Number Resources - NPA (Area) Codes
NANPA also provides for download an area code database (zip) in Microsoft Access format.
NANPA uses NPA Allocation Plan and Assignment Guidelines prepared by the ATIS-sponsored Industry Numbering Committee to administer area codes.
Two blocks of 10 codes each have been set aside by the INC for unanticipated purposes where it may be important to have a full range of 10 contiguous codes available.

The two primary responsibilities of the new NANPA will be to: assign and administer NANP resources in an efficient, effective, fair, unbiased, and non-discriminatory manner consistent with industry developed guidelines; support the industry’s efforts to accommodate current and future numbering needs, and to advise the industry relative to numbering issues (e.g., potential resource exhaust).
However, NANPA may be called upon to assist in the effort to eliminate these assignments if and when transition to an alternative method of call completion/rating to these locations is deployed.
A dispute may arise from the new NANPA assigning or denying the assignment of a resource, and the new NANPA would be required, based on the relevant assignment guidelines and regulatory directives, to address the dispute.

 Nature Forum: To NANPA or not to NANPA
NANPA may be a good "schmoozing" forum, like someone mentioned, but that's not enough for me to justify the (relatively steep) dues.
I think Jim is right about NANPA's failure to do much that is of significant interest about photography or to photographers (who are the ones practicing the photography), although the foundation's work with students is perhaps a notable exception (but that's covered by separate voluntary donations to the Foundation).
If any of you are interested in making NANPA a better representing organization for all nature photographers I know I have room on the education committee for people who are willing to work and I can put you in contact with other committee chair who are looking for those willing to contribute.

NANPA is still a small organization comprised of amateurs, semi-professionals, and professional photographers.
We think it was one of the highlights of our NANPA summit experiences, and we'd encourage other workshop or photo tour leaders to host informal parties of their own on Friday night, which is generally an open evening without scheduled activities.
NANPA is the only unified organization that represents and speaks for nature photographers and photography.

If NANPA is understaffed "they're not going to have the time to respond to us," she said.

 PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 03-2012
On May 24, 1996, the NANPA made a filing with the Commission in which the NANPA indicated that the supply of NXX codes, or telephone numbers, in the 215 area code was nearing total exhaustion.
Shortly thereafter, on October 4, 1999, the NANPA, in accordance with its directive to initiate NPA relief planning in areas in sufficient time (30 months) to prevent the exhaust of numbering resources, notified the Commission and the telecommunications industry that it was necessary to begin planning relief alternatives for the 267 NPA.
The NANPA assigned the 445 NPA as the overlay NPA for the 215/267 NPAs.

 Sawkins's Playful Attraction
Furthermore, as far as they were concerned, the word nanpa was always written in katakana (most were unaware of the kanji), and more importantly, as far as this study is concerned, it had taken on the verb form, as in nanpa suru (to do nanpa/to cruise).
In effect, there should be no physical limit to a nanpa playground, it is not "hedged round" or "isolated" as the arena, the temple, the tennis-court, or the court of justice are in Huizinga's thesis [36].
In nanpa, if the interaction doesn't start off on the right playful foot like this, people will get hurt, as Bateson claims he often is, when people don't take him seriously because he jokes a lot when he speaks [72].

 NANPA - Large Format Photography Forum
I returned from the NANPA Show in Portland on Sunday and am rather surprised, considering the number of landscape shooters in the forum, that there has been no mention of the show or the seminars or event at NANPA.
While I applaud NANPA's effort to try new venues, I think a conference in Oregon would be much better received if it was held in May or September than in January.
Also, nature photographers and groups such as NANPA have "codes of ethics" to do with manipulation of a photograph (either before or after exposure), whether you were photographing a stuffed or "domesticated" wild animal and so on.

NANPA uses the data to forecast the exhaust of each area code and of the NANP as a whole.
NANPA assists the industry and regulators in their determination of whether and how a new area code should be introduced when the supply of central office codes exhausts in an existing area code.
Thirty-six months before an area code is expected to be exhausted, NANPA begins the relief process by developing several feasible alternative relief methods for consideration by the industry, convening a meeting for the industry to evaluate the alternative relief plans or propose plans of their own.
