Foodstuffs: The Life of a Pig Raised for Slaughter
By Peter Biello • Feb 25, 2016
Elodie Reed / Courtesy of The Concord Monitor
When you're about to sit down to a meal, and that meal involves a piece of meat—a steak, some chicken, or pork chops, for example—how much do you think about the animal it came from? We all bring a different level of awareness to the dinner table, and it can be uncomfortable for some people to think deeply about the chicken, cow, or pig that was killed to become someone's food.
Foodstuffs: Portsmouth Restaurants Lure Summer Kitchen Staff With Subsidized Housing
By Emily Corwin • Feb 19, 2016
Summer may be a ways off yet, but in Portsmouth, restaurant owners Matt Louis and Jay McSharry are already anxious about staffing their kitchens. That's because there's a shortage of line cooks in restaurants all across the country, especially on the Seacoast, where unemployment is particularly low.
"Come May when the beaches open, it's a mad sprint to make sure you have enough staff to be ready for summer," McSharry says.
Foodstuffs: In Canterbury, There's a Brewery in the Woods

You can only buy Canterbury Aleworks beer in one place – at the brewery in the woods.
"I like the little saying, a little out of the way, a lot out of the ordinary. But you could swap those off one way or the other. Some people say, 'Oh it's a lot out of the way.'"
That's Steve Allman, brewer and owner of Canterbury Aleworks. He's behind the bar in his taproom. And he doesn't look like a bartender – no crisp white shirt and pressed black pants. He looks like a carpenter. Which he is.

The Littleton Co-op: Buying Where It Sells
By Chris Jensen • Dec 31, 2015
In 2008, when some North Country residents were trying to start a food co-op in Littleton, one of the goals was to support the region's economy by buying as much locally as possible.
Six years later, the co-op is buying about $1.7 million a year in the area, says the Co-op's general manager, Ed King.
"The local food and producer business is probably 25 percent of our business. That is a pretty good chunk of money going back into the local economy," he said.
That money goes to producers like Tim Wennrich.

Foodstuffs: N.H. Sauerkraut Maker Rides the Microbiome Wave Into Tom Brady's Pantry (Maybe)
By Sam Evans-Brown • Dec 11, 2015
When Stephanie Zydenbos started Micro Mama's – a company based in an old farm-house in Weare which makes sauerkraut and kimchi – she says she made "like 500 bucks" in sales and "that was huge."
She says year two the company grew "I don't know, 5,000 percent" and the following year processed 20,000 pounds of vegetables. Next year, she estimates they will be up to nearly 100,000 pounds of artisanally lacto-fermented products.
Foodstuffs: Concord Brewer Plans to Harness the Power of Steam
By Peter Biello • Dec 4, 2015
The City of Concord approved Wednesday Concord Craft Brewing Company's request to put in a microbrewery and tasting room in the city's newly renovated downtown. That part of the city can be heated with steam, and that, says brewery owner Dennis Molnar, is a huge advantage when it comes to making beer.
"So that's where the steam comes in for this part of the building," Molnar says as he shows off a closet filled with pipes in the back of what will be a beer production room. He says the steam from those pipes will reduce the risk of burning the beer as it brews.

Foodstuffs: Tradition and Tech Align at a N.H. Smokehouse
By Jack Rodolico • Nov 19, 2015
Behind the counter at Fox Country Smokehouse stands the original smoker from 1969. It's a wood closet – maybe six by four feet – with metal racks and a light bulb. The walls in there are deep brown, almost black. But they shine. You'd think they were shellacked, but the gloss comes from something else.
"It's actually the creosote from the smoke," says Bill Annis, smokehouse manager. "This is the original door from day one. It just gets a little heavier every year from the smoke."

Foodstuffs: Farmers Markets Are Changing with the Season
By Jason Moon • Nov 6, 2015
Farmers markets are moving indoors for the fall, leaving behind the strawberries of summer and embracing the root vegetables of the colder months.
Jim Ramanek of Warner River Organics is showing me his wares at a farmers market in Concord. It's a relatively standard selection for a farmers market in fall, except that for every familiar autumn veggie he rattles off, there's an alternate variety of it that I've never heard of. For instance, there are your classic turnips here, but there are also something called hakurei turnips, too.

Foodstuffs: Must Be the Season of the Brussels Sprout

Via Bonnie's Plants
Diablo…..Falstaff…..Kryptus…Churchill. The names might fit a racehorse, or on the transom of a yacht. But bearers of these names grow in the ground. And in New Hampshire, October is when Brussels Sprouts can achieve their apotheosis.
"They are a good fall treat and a good keeper."
How To Cook Brussels Sprouts
By Sara Plourde • Oct 22, 2015
via 2 Teaspoons
Brussels sprouts - talk about a vegetable that gets a bad rap. This cold weather crop is perhaps only second to lima beans when it comes to un-earned disdain. In fact, many people who say they "hate" Brussels sprouts likely haven't eaten them for years, if they've ever eaten them at all.

Foodstuffs: Is This the New Look of a New England Apple Orchard?
By Sam Evans-Brown • Sep 24, 2015
Apple growers say good growing weather means they are expecting a bumper crop this year, but when the pick-your-own customers get to the orchards they may notice some changes.
Map: Where to Go Apple Picking in New Hampshire
By NHPR Staff • Sep 18, 2015
NHPR Staff
Autumn in New Hampshire means foliage, fairs, and yes, picking your own apples at one of the state's many orchards.
At a lot of farms, "pick-your-own" or "PYO" is much more than an opportunity to buy the freshest fruit. It's also a chance to take a hay ride, watch a cider press in action, and perhaps most important, to eat some homemade cider donuts.

Uganda 29 July 2015
We are having the most brilliant time in Uganda with everything being great. Our trip was organised by our local ground agents Avian Watch Uganda. Everything is going really well with Robert, our fantastic guide (who knows all the sites and calls and can whistle birds in) and Paul, our driver and fixer, for who nothing was too much.
We were at Murchison National Park, which is a savannah suitable for safari and savannah birds. This morning it had been raining heavily since three am. Breakfast was at 6.00 am but we didn't rush as there was no point leaving in the rain. Although it was 6.15 am, there was no breakfast out and Digby had been waiting half an hour for a cup of coffee that didn't arrive until after Dad's, which obviously he wasn't happy about.
The rain eased off and eventually were left at 7.30 am to bird our way towards the top of the falls.
Robert spotted some lions, but although we had been surrounded by vehicles all morning, just when we needed one nothing appeared for 15 minutes. There was a school expedition from Derbyshire who came along and we helped the teacher get onto them. None of the the teenagers had binoculars which seemed a bit of a waste of opportunity.
The highlight of the morning was Canabis's Bunting, which we had been trying for during our trip to Murchison Falls and Spotted Thick-knee. We also saw a Denham's Bustard move its neck forward and eat a big insect without moving its body. We had been trying for Red-winged Grey Warbler as well, but had not luck with that.
We then went down to the ferry terminal, where we had got our boat the day before, where we got the 12.00 pm ferry across the river after missing our 11.00 am ferry, along with the school group.
We stopped on the other side and amazingly saw a Red-winged Grey Warbler within a few minutes, after trying for it all morning. We then had our packed lunch with a welcome cold drink at a hostel on the otherside. A passed up my manky sandwich for a bowl of rice.
We then drove to the top of Murchison Falls itself, which was really beautiful. Digby wanted to try another geo cache here and had decided that it was missing when Robert again used his hunter skills to find it, much to his and Paul's elation.
After driving out of Murchison Falls NP for several hours, we reached an excellent forest, Kanio Pabidi, where we birded for an hour. It was great to be birding in forest again and seeing a few good species lie Narina Trogan, Cassin's Honeyguide, Scarce Swift, Western Nicator and Purvel's Iladopsis.
We then had to drive to the park gate, making sure that we had time to process our departure before our 6.24 pm departure deadline, 48 hours after we had entered. Despite the guard taking his time, we left with 5 minutes to spare.
We then drove on to the town of Masindi, where we checked into the Masindi Hotel. It was an old British Administration building and lovely with courtyards and outbuildings. Paul and Robert stayed for dinner but Digby went to bed as he wasn't feeling great. After dinner, I slipped away only to be called back by Paul. He told me that he wanted to talk to me and started chatting any. Suddenly, a cake appeared for Mum and Dad, who had both just had their birthdays. It was a lovely gesture!
There was quite a lot of cake left and so we gave it to an Engish couple who were staying at the hotel and seemed to be birders.

In the Supreme Court w/c 11 November
Laura Sandwell News Articles
Today in Courtroom 2 is In the matter of LC (Children) (Nos. 1 and 2), to be heard by L Hale, L Wilson, L Sumption, L Toulson and L Hodge. The case concerns four siblings with a Spanish mother and an English father. After the breakdown of the parents' relationship, the children's mother took them to Spain without the father's consent. They visited the UK for a holiday and were not returned to Spain, and their mother applied for their return pursuant to the Hague Convention 1980. The Court of Appeal held that the eldest child should stay in England, and remitted back to the High Court the question whether it would be intolerable under art 13b of the Convention to separate the children. The Supreme Court will determine whether, and if so to what extent, children's views are relevant in the evaluation of their habitual residence; and when a court should join a subject child as a party to Hague Convention proceedings.
On Tuesday 12 November 2013 in Courtroom 2 is the appeal of Richardson & Anor v DPP. The appellants protest against a shop which sells products from the Dead Sea, labelled as 'made in Israel'. The appellants assert that the area the company is operating out of is not part of Israel, but an Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian Territory, and argue the labelling of the products as "made in Israel" breaches consumer protection legislation, and also accuse the company of offences of cheating the revenue, possessing and using criminal property, as well as aiding and abetting war crimes. The issue for the Court is whether the words 'lawful activity' in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, s 68, should be limited to acts which are 'integral' to the activities at the premises in question.
From Tuesday 12 until Thursday 14 in Courtroom 1 is the matter of Coventry & Ors v Lawrence & Anor. The respondents are the owners and operators of a track and stadium used for various motor sports, including stock car, motocross, and banger racing. The Court will determine whether, and to what extent, the decisions of a planning authority are relevant to the assessment of nuisance; whether 'coming to a nuisance' is capable of being a defence; if a right to transmit noise over another's land is capable of being an easement; and whether a success fee payable pursuant to a Conditional Fee Agreement and an After the Event Insurance premium are recoverable.
In the Privy Council on Wednesday 13 – Thursday 14 November 2013 is the matter of Daniel v The State, from the Court of Appeal of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. This is a death penalty appeal concerning the circumstances in which the defence of provocation should be left to the jury when the provocation was self-induced.

Leave a reply on "In the Supreme Court w/c 11 November"


In this issue, you'll find a piece that I feel is significant to this theme and which I hope to be able to continue. This is the piece on Clyde "Bill" Campbell. Often in the Journal you will find many pieces on Campbells from our past that have made significant contributions to our proud heritage. Well, there are also many Campbells in our own time who have made significant contributions as well…and they're still making them! Clyde Bill is one of those people. He literally wrote the book on recruiting new members; I do mean literally! I have a copy of it! (I'm pretty sure you can have a copy too if you want one.) In fact, as the Region 6 Commissioner, he holds training sessions for the deputies on how to recruit new members and run a tent.
To call Clyde Bill a "mover and a shaker" is an understatement of magnanimous proportions. He has a wonderful sense of who he is and where he's going. His devilish smile and playful sense of humor make him a delight to work with and for! To use slang, "He's just cool!" I have had the great honor of spending an evening in his home with his wife, Paula and several other CCSNA folks. Believe me when I say it would take weeks just to admire the photos he has taken all over the world. (He and his daughter, Ruth have actually had shows!) Just be careful ladies, he gets his hugs!
For those of you who know him, it won't surprise you in the least to know that Clyde Bill Campbell was a state commissioner before he was a member of the Clan Campbell Society. With the exception of a couple of leaves of absences during which he was either President or Vice President of the Society, he has remained a commissioner for the last 28 years. The roster of Clyde Bill's recruits reads like a 'Who's Who' list of the Clan Campbell Society. For those of you who don't know him, let me tell you a little more about him.
Long before Indiana Jones took his name from a beloved family pet, Clyde Bill's family had already done it! As the story was told to this writer, Clyde Bill was actually nick-named after his grandfather's dog, Old Bill. Apparently, wherever Grandpa went, Old Bill followed. Well, once young Clyde Henson Campbell was born...and began to toddle...he, too, followed Grandpa wherever he went. People would say, "Well, there's Old Bill and Young Bill!" and the name stuck!
Clyde Bill got his start (literally) on the 22nd of June 1924, in a log cabin near Cumberland Mountain, one of seven children born to this family of pioneers in Tennessee. He had what he calls an "uneventful but hard-working childhood," some of the finest times being in the autumn when his father would take him hunting after small game in the woods. He was educated at the two room public grade school and high school in Tracy City and upon graduation in 1942 he joined what he still calls ''The Federal Navy" at the outbreak of WWII.
For twenty years Clyde Bill flew as a pilot in the Navy all over the globe. He flew in WWII and in Korea and counts himself fortunate to have retired before the Viet Nam conflict.
Four Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross, following the tour in Korea.
Until his retirement in 1963 Clyde Bill served as Operations Officer on a destroyer in the Pacific, as Executive Officer of a destroyer in the Atlantic, and as Commanding Officer of a Naval Station in the West Indies.
He then used his engineering training from the Navy, physics from Ole Miss and Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, to find work in industry. He spent over eight years with Reynolds Metals until he moved to Martin Industries. He held various positions including Plant Manager of one of the manufacturing plants and several corporate responsibilities including Director of Quality Assurance, Corporate Facilities Engineer, and Project Engineer for Manufacturing.
Since retirement from industry Clyde Bill Campbell has been very active as an industrial consultant. In the 1960s and 1970s he served as a Scout Master and there are four eagle Scouts in his family including Bill and Paula's three sons and a "German-son" exchange student who became the world's first and only non-US Eagle Scout while he lived with their family. Other exchange students who have enjoyed the hospitality of the Campbell home have come from Holland, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland. One of the last exchange students they hosted was actually the child of one of the first they hosted!
Today, in addition to his work for the Clan Campbell Society, Clyde Bill is an active ''Shriner" (a branch of the Masons) and is faithful in his "Scottish Rite" Masonic Lodge. The "Shriners" are a service organization. He is a member of the Sheffield Rotary Club (another service organization) where he has attended meetings regularly for 47 years. When unable to attend in Sheffield, he has been able to attend a similar meeting elsewhere and has attended Rotary meetings all over the world. Clyde Bill Campbell's service to Rotary has been devoted almost entirely to youth activities. He organized an "Interact Club," a service club sponsored by Rotary International, at Sheffield High School in 1967 and has been their advisor ever since. He organized a "Rotaract Club" at UNA (University of North Alabama) in 1970 and at Shoals Community College in 1988. He also served as Chairman of the Rotary District Youth Activities Committee for several years as well as a year as Governor of his Rotary District which has 54 clubs.
One of the founders of the Tennessee Valley Scottish Society, Clyde Bill usually attends about fifteen Scottish functions annually. The Tennessee Valley Scottish Society sponsors the North Alabama Scottish Festival and Highland Games (formerly known as the Tennessee Valley Scottish Festival) in Madison each year.
Clyde Bill and his daughter Ruth are both keen photographers and have combined to have a father-daughter photographic exhibition at the Florence Arts Center which was ''held-over" at least twice, a unique event for the Center. Clyde Bill got his first camera at the tender age of 14 and has been fascinated with pictures ever since. Though he's never studied formally, he was once a member of the Photographic Society of America.
With his roots springing from a log cabin on the side of Cumberland Mountain in Tennessee, Clyde Bill's way of operating was more down-home and personal than any of his predecessors within CCSNA. Perhaps as a result, he managed to steer the change from a US Society into the North American Society, which was being promoted by Canadians, with quiet skill and freedom from any major misunderstandings.
Clyde Bill has a philosophy of keeping people calm and could quietly defuse those who, for some reason got hot-under-the-collar. He believes that in a family organization, conflicts should be kept to a minimum and yet the right to free expression should be protected. The Society members owe much gratitude to Clyde ''Bill" Campbell and his wife Paula for their extraordinary dedication to the responsibilities involved in the offices Clyde Bill has held.


Hello friends, after all, we have been waiting, and Xiaomi has launched its first Notch display phone with Poco F1 and Nokia has also launched a Notch Display phone. We will learn more about Xiaomi Poco F1 Vs Nokia 6.1 Plus Vs OnePlus 6 Full Comparison in English here.
There are lots of launches in the phone, but we have trouble. When there are lots of specifications and features that are launching a lot of phones. As has happened at this time, we have a OnePlus 6 best smartphone already in the market and two more such launches are launched.
We all know about specifications of OnePlus 6, so before we take a look at 2 latest launch phone Xiaomi Poco F1 and Nokia 6.1 Plus Specification, then we are Xiaomi Poco F1 Vs Nokia 6.1 Plus, Xiaomi Poco F1 Vs OnePlus 6 & OnePlus 6 Vs will get information about the Nokia 6.1 Plus comparison.
Poco F1 Camera: Ultra light_sensitive AI camera, Primary 12MP rear camera, pixel, f/1.9 Aperture dual pixel autofocus, Secondary 5MP rear camera, f/2.0 Aperture.
Siñgle_tone flash, Low_light enhancement, HDR imaging, Face recognition, AI Beautify.
Front camera: 20Megapixel front camera, AI portrait mode, AI detection of 10 different scenes.
Video: 4K video, 30 fps, 1080p, 30 fps, 720p, 30 fps, Slow motion video, 720p, 240fps; 1080p, 240fps.
Battery & Charging: 4000mAh , Quick Charge™ 3.O, USB Type-C reversible connector port, Built-in rechargeable battery.
Sensors: Proximity sensor, Accelerometer,Ambient light sensor,vibration motor,Electronic compass.
It is a latest launch smartphone by Xiaomi, which will hit Direct OnePlus 6 and keeping this in mind, MI has set its price to a very high level.
We will see three variant of this phone in the market, which.
Display : 5.5 inches, Full HD [1080 x 1920 pixels], Corning Gorilla Glass v3,73.7% Screen to Body Ratio.
Processor : Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, Octa core, 2.2 GHz, Cortex A53, 64 bit, Adreno 630 GPU.
Memory: 4 GB LPPDDR4x with 64 GB storage.
Camera: Dual Mâin: 16 MP AF, f2.0/1.0um, Dual second: 5 MP, 16 MP front camera.
Battery: Integrated 3060 mAh battery.
Sensors: Ambiênt light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer (G-sensor), E_compass, Gyroscope, Fingerprint Sensor.
It's got only one Variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage and we can increase its storage by 400GB with an SD card in it.
We get best features in all 3 smartphones, which are according to the trend of this time such as the Notch display, AI Camera and Face Lock. But if we want to select the Best Phone from this phone while watching Budget, then we have to compare the three features together.
In Xiaomi Poco F1 and Nokia 6.1 Plus, we get 6.18inch and 5.5inch Full HD display, which meet with 19: 9 aspect ratio screen and Gorilla glass protection. Whereas in OnePlus 6, we get to see the Optic AMOLED 6.28inch display which is better for Poco F1 and 6.1 Plus and it will give us both better picture quality and gaming quality.
In all the phones, we get to see the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which is a good thing and we will not be confused about the processor brand while buying a phone.
But thêre is a lot of difference between its processor quality and performances, Xiaomi Poco F1 Snapdrag-on 845 and OnePlus Snapdragon 845 are found on the Octa core processor which is similar to configuration and their performance is similar.
In Nokia 6.1 Plus, we get to see the Snapdragon 636 processor which we get to see in the Xiaomi Redmi note 5 pro smartphone. But its performance is a little lower in terms of Poco F1 and OnePlus 6.
The camera is very important to us and because someone has to make a video, if someone has to do some photography then someone has to take selfie. You will know this from this table which is better in case of camera.
Regarding the RAM of the phone, we all know that no phone is less than 4GB of RAM and storage is not enough. In such a situation, Battery becomes an ego feature for us, because our phone supports this.
In Xiaomi Poco F1, we get 4000mAh of Battery, get 3300 mAh Battery in OnePlus, and Nokia 6.1 Plus comes with 3060 mAh battery.
Comparison of Nokia 6.1 Plus is not from the other two phones because after seeing the Nokia 6.1 Plus specification it was revealed that it is a collision phone of Xiaomi Redmi 5 pro, but Xiaomi is a comparison between Poco F1 and OnePlus 6.
The price of OnePlus 6 is today at Rs. 34,999 on Amazon, and Xiaomi gets the same feature with a very low price.Xiaomi has launched a phone called Poco F1 with Same processor Snapdragon 845 and almost the same design. But its price is less than 11,000 to 14,000 by Snapdragon, which is a maximum price of Rs 23,999.
There are some features that are better in Oneplus 6 such as Camera, but all the other features of the same is almost the same or Xiaomi Poco F1 is more like Battery.
Friends, if you want to buy a OnePlus 6 smartphone and your budget is low, then Xiaomi Poco F1 can be the best option for you. OnePlus 6 gets 284,830 Score according to Antutu bechmark score while Xiaomi Poco F1 gets 291,302 Score which is better than Oneplus 6. In this case, Best Phone Xiaomi Poco F1 for us and what you think about it please comment on comment box.

Q: What is in the PTE address field for an anonymously zero-fill-on-demand mapped page? When a program calls mmap to allocate an anonymous page, also known as a demand-zero page, what appears in the address field of the corresponding page table entry (PTE)? I am assuming that the kernel does not create a zero-initialized page in physical memory (and enter that physical page's page number into the PTE) until the requesting process actually touches the page — hence the term demand-zero.  Since it would not be a disk address, and would not be 0 (which is for unallocated pages), what value would appear there? As a different but related question, how does the kernel "know" that this page is to be handled as a demand-zero page, i.e., that the fault handler should find a physical page and initialize it with 0 rather than copy a page from disk?

A:
I am assuming that the kernel does not create a zero-initialized page in physical memory

Indeed, this is usually the case. Unless special cases, like for example if MAP_POPULATE is specified to explicitly request the page to be initialized (also called "pre-fauting").

what appears in the address field of the corresponding page table entry (PTE)?

Right after mmap you don't even have a PTE allocated for the page (or in general, you don't have any entry at any page table level). For what the CPU is concerned, the page doesn't even exist. If you were to walk the page table you would just get to a point (at an arbitrary level) where the corresponding entry is marked as "not present".

Since it would not be a disk address, and would not be 0 (which is for unallocated pages), what value would appear there?

For what the CPU is concerned, the page is unallocated. At the first page fault, two things can happen:

*

*For a read page fault, the PTE is updated to point to the zero page: this is a special page that is always entirely zeroed-out and is pointed to by the PTEs of any anonymous (demand-zero) page in the system that has not been modified yet.

*For a write page fault, an actual physical page will be allocated and the corresponding PTE updated to point to its physical address.

Quoting directly from the documentation:

The anonymous memory or anonymous mappings represent memory that is not backed by a filesystem. Such mappings are implicitly created for program's stack and heap or by explicit calls to mmap(2) system call. Usually, the anonymous mappings only define virtual memory areas that the program is allowed to access. The read accesses will result in creation of a page table entry that references a special physical page filled with zeroes. When the program performs a write, a regular physical page will be allocated to hold the written data. The page will be marked dirty and if the kernel decides to repurpose it, the dirty page will be swapped out.

how does the kernel "know" that this page is to be handled as a demand-zero page, i.e., that the fault handler should find a physical page and initialize it with 0 rather than copy a page from disk?

When a page fault occurs, the kernel page fault handler (architecture-dependent) determines to which VMA the page belongs to, and retrieves the corresponding struct vm_area_struct (which was created earlier either by the kernel itself or by a mmap syscall). This structure is then passed on to architecture-independent code (do_fault()) along with the needed fault information (struct vm_fault).
The vm_area_struct then contains all the remaining necessary information to handle the fault (for example the ->vm_file field which is != NULL in case of a file-backed mapping). The field ->vm_ops points to a struct vm_operations_struct which defines a set of function pointers to call in different occasions. In particular anonymous VMAs have ->vm_ops == NULL.
For other kind of pages, ->fault() is the function used when handling a page fault. This function knows what to check and how to actually handle the fault.

B & O also describe the VMA, but do not explain how the kernel could use the VMA to distinguish between, say, an unallocated page and an allocated page to be created and zero-initialized.

Simple, just check vma->vm_ops == NULL and in such case you know that the page is a demand-zero anon page. Then on a page fault act as needed (read fault -> update PTE to point to global zero page, write fault -> allocate a page and update PTE).

FEATURED: Ian Probert's "Dangerous: An Intimate Journey Into the Heart of Boxing"
September 26, 2016 September 27, 2016 by bribruceproductions
DANGEROUS: AN INTIMATE JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF BOXING
Ian Probert
A quarter of a century ago journalist and author Ian Probert decided never to write about boxing again. His decision was prompted by the injuries sustained by boxer Michael Watson during his world title fight with Chris Eubank. Now, in common with so many fighters, Probert is making an inevitable comeback. Dangerous sees Probert return to the scene of an obsession that has gripped him from childhood.
Clinical depression caused by death of his abusive father prompts Probert to retrace his steps in boxing. During an emotional eight-month journey Probert reconnects with boxing figures from his past and in doing so draws unexpected solace from a series of remarkable encounters. In the course of numerous meetings with a number of leading figures in the fight game, including Herol Graham, Steve Collins, Michael Watson, Ambrose Mendy, Frank Buglioni and Glenn McC rory among others, Probert takes a look at how lives have changed, developed and even unravelled during the time he has been away from the sport.
From an illuminating and honest encounter with transgender fight manager Kellie Maloney to an emotional reunion with Watson himself, Probert discovers just how much the sport has changed during his absence. The end result is one of the most fascinating and unusual books ever to have been written about boxing.
It was 23 years ago when I last saw him. His eyes were closed and an oxygen mask was strapped to his mouth. His magnificent muscular torso was a tangle of tubes and sensors. He lay on the bed like a sleeping baby. The slightest of frowns pinched his forehead as if he were dreaming the longest dream: a dream that would last for a biblical 40 days and 40 nights before he would awaken to discover that his life had been ripped apart. That he could never again be the person that he used to be.
In a windswept hotel on the outskirts of Essex I sit at the rear of a vast banqueting hall and wait to see his face once more. I'm wearing the suit that I wore at my wedding and for the last three funerals that I attended. You could say that I'm not a suit person. It hangs loose on my body on account of the large amount of weight I've lost in the past couple of years.
'You've put some pounds on,' says a cor blimey voice, 'You used to be a skinny fella.'
The voice takes a seat across from me at the table and I recognise its source. It's also been more than two decades since I last saw him and his hair has waved goodbye – although I'm not one to talk – and he's something like twice the size that he used to be.
'You look like you've lost weight,' I lie.
The other man caresses his beer gut and stares at the floor. 'Yeah… I've been working out,' he says without a trace of irony.
The stranger from my past withdraws to the bar leaving me alone at the dinner table to scrutinise other faces. In the far distance an ex-boxer named Nigel Benn is charging £20 a shot to be photographed with time-ravaged fans. The former world champion looks trim and wears a stylish striped jacket that would probably look ridiculous on anybody else. He grins earnestly and waves a weary fist at the camera. The middle- aged car salesman standing next to him follows his lead for posterity.
On the table closest to me I spot Alan Minter in a dickie bow. A lifetime ago I'd been a 17-year-old waiter serving wine at an event not unlike this one to a bashed-up Minter, who had just lost his undisputed world middleweight title. Back then he was one of the most famous people I'd ever met and I'd been in awe of him. Total awe. But now it's only sorrow. His position at the outskirts of the hall – almost as remote and desolate as my own location – serves as a barometer for just how many people have forgotten his achievements. He's at the back of the queue now and others have moved forward to take his place.
The speeches begin. On a long table at the front of the hall a smiling Nigel Benn is surrounded by other refugees from days gone by. A retired boxer named Rod Douglas sits close to another ex-fighter named Herol Graham, the man whose punches put an end to Douglas' career. The two seem unaware of one another's presence and I wonder if this is no accident. To Graham's right is former world featherweight champion Colin McMillan and an assortment of other former prizefighters' whose blurred features remain hidden in the shadows.
But I'm not here to see these people. Although they all in one way or another belong to my past I'm here to see only one person. I know he's coming because the organiser of this tribute to Nigel Benn tipped me off before generously inviting me along. Everybody else seems to know he's coming, too. It has to be the worst kept secret since someone let it slip that smoking is bad for you.
A whisper from the table, 'Michael's here.' And suddenly I can stand it no longer. I climb to my feet and quietly exit the hall. Standing listlessly at the foot of a smartly decorated staircase are two disinterested looking bouncers. I ask them if they've seen Michael and they gesture towards a small corridor to the left of the staircase.
I find myself standing outside a disabled toilet. I try the handle. It's locked. But just as I'm leaving, the door swings open and a large middle-aged black man with glasses and greying temples appears. We look at each other for a long time and disjointed words tumble from my lips, 'Michael… It's so nice to see you.' It's all I can think of saying. My voice is trembling and already I'm weak with emotion.

Mock crash for prom season
Posted by Joe Pinchot | May 1, 2019 | Police, Rescue-Fire, Schools | 0 |
Sure, Brookfield police Cpl. Scott Thompson said, some of the Brookfield High juniors and seniors who saw the mock crash staged May 1 at the school thought of it as a big joke.
But, if even one student thinks twice about a decision to drive after having downed a couple beers, then it's worth it, he said.
"I do get it," Thompson told the students. "I was young once. Make better choices."
Brookfield police and fire – with support from Brookfield schools, including a number of seniors who agreed to be made up as crash victims, and Watson's Towing of Hubbard, which supplied the vehicles – staged the event ahead of the weekend's prom. The gruesome makeup was courtesy of Roni Conner, a Trumbull County 911 dispatcher and Fowler firefighter.
The scenario was a head-on crash between a pickup and a minivan. The minivan driver was thrown out the front window, perched precariously on the hood with his ribs exposed from the impact. Three passengers also were injured, as well as the passenger in the pickup.
Students listened to the 911 call go out on the crash, saw police arrive and assess the scene, then firefighters treated the victims and extricated those who were trapped.
Police pulled out the pickup driver (portrayed by Jordan Tingler), who was unhurt but unsteady on his feet. Police removed bottles and cans of beer and liquor from the cab, and ran the driver through a series of field sobriety tests and had him blow into a breathing machine that measured his blood-alcohol level.
The driver's father barges onto the scene and interferes with the police investigation, ending up in handcuffs even before his son is arrested.
Throughout the exercise, senior Donnie Davis, who portrayed the minivan driver, had to remain still as he lay on the hood, untouched until the coroner's office arrived to take away his lifeless body.
Thompson did play-by-play, so the students understood the police investigation and how the sobriety tests were conducted.
"I've personally seen this, and I assure you it's not something you want to do," he said.
Even worse than trying to help the people involved in the crash is having to show up at someone's home to tell them their son or daughter or father or sister was killed in a crash that they caused, or that they didn't cause, he said.
"I've done it," he said of making those visits.
Senior Dustin Moffett stressed to his peers that "this is very real. This is no joke."
The prevalence of alcohol in traffic deaths, especially among the young, is striking, and people who start drinking when they are young are more likely to become statistics, he said.
"Don't do anything stupid this weekend," Dustin said. "It's one thing to have fun. Don't put others' lives in jeopardy."
Just like in the scenario, it's typical that the drunk driver walks away with no physical injury, while the injuries to others involved are serious or fatal, Thompson said. Think about your parents, your friends and even people you don't know, he said.
"It affects your lives, your family's, your future," he said, adding that a typical adult sentence for someone convicted of an alcohol-related traffic crash that results in death is 3 to 5 years in prison.
While he was not condoning drinking or taking drugs, Thompson said you can rectify the poor decision to imbibe by calling a parent or a friend to come get you instead of climbing behind the wheel, he said.
While the scenario depicted an alcohol-related crash, you don't have to be drunk or stoned to be at fault for a tragedy. Distracted driving – driving while texting or checking for messages – and reckless driving can have disastrous consequences, he said.
Firefighter Randy Richman said you cannot plan for everything that will occur in your life. "Accidents are gonna happen," he said. But, consistently making good decisions puts you in the best position to stay safe.
"If you make good decisions and not put yourself in this position, you done a great job," he said.

Each Hayley Paige for Hearts On Fire design features a sapphire in Hayley's favorite shade of pink on the inside of the band—an extra dash of sparkle just for you. As they were chosen by hand, these sapphires may vary slightly in shade from ring to ring.


Stage 2 - Time to get a StageAhead! These are the the 6-8 year olds and the ones that start showing the first real glimmers of passion for the Arts.
This group is the first of the age groups to do the full 3 hours of classes (with breaks to snack of course). They will have 1 hour of Dance, 1 hour of Drama and 1 hour of Voice. Each with a different trained Coach who will start to hone in on the individual talents of these young performers whilst keeping it fun.
They will look at as many dance styles as we can cram in from Jazz and modern to Ballet and street dance. Not just learning choreography but also actual techniques that will help lay strong and solid performance foundations. We will start to get them to enjoy song with many different styles from around the world and also here at home with musical theatre and pop. Finally make them explore their inner actor and engage in script and improvisation.
At the same time the young people get to engage with others and make new friends and keep fit and healthy too.
As with all our Stages there will be a chance to perform at the end of the year with our summer show, where parents can see all the hard work the children have done. There will be added opportunities for workshops with Waynes Industry friends from the west end and beyond and also we have plans for summer schools and extra classes to get some more strings to their bow.

Court card or court sized card was the name given to a size of picture postcard, mainly used in the United Kingdom, which were approximately 4.75 x 3.5 inches and predates the standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches.

Court cards were smaller and squarer in shape than later cards and were used from about 1894 to 1902. In keeping with the regulations of the time, they had an undivided back for the address only and the message had to be written on the 'front' of the card. Many fine examples of these still exist and are sought after by postcard collectors and philatelists alike. Although mainly used in the UK, many were printed by chromolithography in Germany.

Risk of poverty at new high in Germany: report
The risk of becoming poor in Germany has reached a record high despite a thriving economy and a million job vacancies. Most at risk are recently arrived migrants, say trade union-affiliated researchers.
The Düsseldorf-based Institute of Economic and Social Research (WSI) highlighted Germany's bitter paradox Friday that despite the country's export-led boom, poverty looms large for nearly one in six of its 82 million residents,, especially among persons with "migratory backgrounds."
The statistical poverty threshold is defined as a household having to make do with only 60 percent of the median monthly income as measured across households.
A single-person [household] is exposed to poverty risk when the net income undercuts €969 ($1122). For a four-person family, including two small children, the threshold is €2035 net per month.
In its latest report, based on 2017 micro-census data as yet unpublished by federal statisticians, the WSI puts the poverty risk quota for Germany as a whole at 15.8 percent.
The WSI is an economic and social science unit created in 1946 and part of the trade union-affiliated Hans-Böckler Institute.
Germany's poverty barometer
It amounted to a "new high" for Germany since the poverty barometerwas launched in 1996, said the WSI. The quota in 2016 was slightly lower, at 15.7 percent.
The researchers attributed the higher 2017 quota to the delayed impact of arrivals of more than 1.15 million refugees in 2015 and 2016, adding that impoverishment among the recently-arrived migrants as a group was far higher at 30.3 percent.
Poverty exposure among persons with so-called "migratory backgrounds" — defined federally as a person with a least one non-German parent — had declined slightly to 24.9 percent, the report added.
Portrait: Life on the breadline
Looking only at residents born in Germany without any "migratory background" as a subgroup, their quota had declined from 12.6 percent in 2013 to 11.8 percent last year, said the WSI.
The micro-census in 2017 had left out hundreds of thousands of refugees housed communally who, at that stage, had not yet formed private households. Many, say the researchers, had since found regular employment.
The WSI researchers concluded that Germany continued to face the "central challenge" of helping migrants acquire German-language and vocational skills to integrate quickly into the labor market.
Keenly sought, if language and vocational skills match
Groups especially at risk
That asid,e the WSI researchers said three cohorts remained at risk from poverty – single parents, welfare recipientsand those without school-leaving qualifications.
And "especially many children" lay under the poverty threshold, they added.
"Their 2017 share of 20.7 percent was significantly above the level for the whole population and 0.2 percent higher than in the previous year," they said.
"Gratifying," however, was a decline in poverty exposure among the elderly to 14.6 percent, the WSI said. "For the first time the continual increase since 2011 has been interrupted."
Being poor in Germany
Poverty despite job vacancies
Germany had 1.21 million open job vacancies in the second quarter of 2017, noted Germany's Institute for Labor Market and Career Research (IAB) on Tuesday.
The IAB, which is part of the Nuremburg-based Federal Employment Agency, said vacancies nationwide were up 115,000 on the same quarter of last year.
That equated to almost three open positions for every 100 regular jobs in Germany.
"In 2012 there were just two open positions [per 100). The demand for staff has thereby grown significantly," said the IAB, adding that demand was larger in Germany's eastern states where post-reunification salaries still tend to be lower.

But Jaguar Land Rover will take it easy until 2020 before the first Zero's will go into production. Enough time for them to make the necessary changes...
In the mean while, get ready for the quintessenza. Available next year, a fully digitized iconic classic, including an interface with respect for its origins, a true travel back in time.
Iconic classics, back on the road for daily joy. 365 days per year


For every artist comes a day of reckoning. It's the day when you chose either to charge down the path of passion or take the paved road that leads to a job and a steady paycheck. It's the day you decide to give up the dream.
That day came for A.J. Brockman when he began to lose the use of his hand and realized he would put his paintbrush down for good — except this was no choice.
"To have to relinquish your passion because you physically can't do it anymore, it takes something out of your soul," said Brockman. He lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, often called SMA, a progressive neuromuscular disease that has left him wheelchair-bound since the age of 2.
Brockman, now 24, found a way to retain his passion despite his condition, and now everyone who visits city hall can appreciate what he has achieved. The city — Brockman's hometown — purchased his digital rendering of a banyan tree and has hung the 8-foot-by-4-foot work in the city council chamber and hosted a reception for him in early August.
WENONA students learned a valuable lesson in overcoming adversity from Australian Paralympic swimmer Karni Liddell.
The bronze medallist shared the story of her triumph over spinal muscular atrophy with students.
"I was born missing a few little muscles and my parents were told I wouldn't walk or crawl," she told the girls. Refusing to accept defeat, her father created a walking frame for Karni and she learned to walk.
With her competitive spirit, she honed her strengths in swimming to compete at the Paralympic Games in 1996 and 2000, where she won bronze medals.
"It doesn't matter what body I have been given, what family I am from, where I was born, or how much money I have got. You can do whatever you want with your life," she said.

SINGAPORE: 1984 is a special year for Nurulasyiqah Mohd Taha. It was the year she was born, as well as that of the Paralympic sport she'll be representing Singapore in, at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The ball-tossing game of Boccia from Greece was introduced 28 years ago as a Paralympic sport specifically designed for athletes with a disability affecting locomotor functions.
The aim of the game is to toss a collection of balls as close as possible to a white ball known as the jack.
Nurul qualified for the Paralympics last December, becoming the first para-athlete to represent Singapore in that sport.
Born with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 (SMA II), Nurul's condition causes nerve cell loss in her spinal cord which in turn limits muscle movement.
So instead of tossing, players in Nurul's BC3 category use assistive devices to launch the balls.
For many, back-to-school is a season of anticipation, nostalgia, and shopping. For me, it evokes memories of an unsung historical event: the integration of Harvard.
No, I'm not talking about racial integration; I'm talking about the full inclusion of students with disabilities.
When I entered Harvard College as a freshman in 1980, it happened to coincide with a new requirement — all institutions receiving federal funds had to become fully accessible under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
I was a 17-year-old lifelong wheelchair-user, born with a neurological condition called spinal muscular atrophy. I'd never walked or stood and my arms were weak as a baby's. But, as my parents often said, there was nothing wrong with my head.
I had little awareness of the precedent I was setting.
Ari Kinarthy has a severe genetic disability that causes his muscles to waste away. He has been wheelchair-bound since age six – first manual, now electric.
At 23, his health is so fragile that the common cold puts him in the hospital several times a year.
But you wouldn't know any of that, listening to his debut album, The Lion's Journey, released June 12. Despite the very limited mobility caused by his Type-II spinal muscular atrophy, Kinarthy was able to compose and record jazz, rock and orchestral tracks, using a technology called Soundbeam.
He says it's given him a new sense of purpose.
CUMBERLAND – It has been just over a decade since 10-year-old Alyssa Silva began designing greeting cards to raise research money for spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disorder that causes her spinal nerve cells to degenerate, leaving her wheelchair bound.
Eleven years later, the 21-year-old Bryant University senior and dean's list regular has raised approximately $70,000.
And she said scientists may be within five years of finding a cure.
VICTORIA — A young Victoria musician is releasing his first album, despite a big hurdle.
Ari Kinarthy was told he wouldn't be able to make music . That changed after he started attending the Victoria Conservatory of Music.
The 22-year-old is living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy; a genetic condition that weakens all the muscles in his body.
Thanks to technology called Soundbeam, Kinarthy can compose his own songs and perform them. It turns his movement into music.
Now he's released his first album, a collection of nine songs titled The Lion's Journey.
It is available for sale at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

Most BCLs are associated with characteristic chromosomal abnormalities that may help to establish an accurate primary diagnosis, have specific prognostic significance, or serve as targets for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection. Table 32-2 lists the recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities and the molecular correlates for most subtypes of BCL. This list of genetic abnormalities illustrates the large number of potential targets for molecular testing, but also highlights the increasing challenge for clinical molecular laboratories to provide relevant genetic information to clinicians. Because most chromosomal abnormalities are associated with specific BCL subtypes, diagnostic and prognostic molecular testing is often necessarily different in different BCLs. The BCL subtype-specific molecular abnormalities with diagnostic/prognostic significance are therefore discussed under the individual BCL categories below, and more general considerations are discussed later in the sections on diagnostic and prognostic indications for molecular testing in BCL.


The Plastic Surgery Group in Albany have extensive experience in liposuction. Liposuction removes fatty deposits around their waists, legs, arms, buttocks, and other parts of their bodies and achieve tighter, smoother, more defined contours.
Liposuction is performed through small incisions using a narrow tube, called a cannula, and a suctioning machine. Your plastic surgeon will move the cannula under the skin to remove the excess fatty tissue. You may feel some moving sensations or some minor irritation during the procedure if you have a local anesthesia. You will also be given plenty of fluids during the procedure to replace those that are lost.
Immediately after your liposuction surgery, you won't likely notice a big change in the way you look. In fact, you'll probably think you look worse than before your surgery. You will be bloated because of the liquids you received during the procedure, and a small tube for draining this will be placed in the area of the liposuction. You will see swelling and some bruising. You may have some discomfort around the area of the incisions, which can be relieved by prescription medication from your plastic surgeon. You may also feel some numbness or loss of feeling around the area of the liposuction, but this will only be temporary.
For the first few weeks following your liposuction procedure, you will wear a compression garment that will help treated areas conform to their new shape. After a few weeks, you'll be able to remove the garment at night and will just need to keep it on during the day. If there were stitches placed during your liposuction procedure, they will most likely come out in a few days following your procedure.
Liposuction is a safe and effective way to achieve a more contoured body shape. Complications rarely occur during a liposuction procedure. In some instances an excess accumulation of fluids may build up, which can be drained through a small tube.


"It is my profound belief that we must leave a livable planet for our children, and I have dedicated myself to this goal professionally." The chairman Frank Liu to actively pursue the direction the company has taken to make sustainable use of resources in the plastics industry. Indeed, the stars seem to be aligned for these efforts. Because during the course of two decades, GREENMAX has become a strong partner in a growing group, the chairman of INTCO Group. Frank Liu adds: "The group brings together all of the expertise necessary to ensure that waste styrofoam are managed in an efficient and sustainable manner throughout the entire cycle–from product design to processing and recycling."
The GREENMAX success story began in 2008 as a typical start-up in an annex of a farmhouse. "The first system GREENMAX APOLO series was sold to Spain. The foundation of further funding and the expansion of the company was thus laid," recalls Lucy Shen, managing director and one of the founders of GREENMAX machine. The choice to make the headquarters has proven a smart decision from the start. As one of Europe's strongest competitive regions, with an export ratio of almost 60 percent, many hidden champions such as GREENMAX are found in Europe. These companies have achieved a dominant position in their waste EPS recycling industry through qualified and motivated employees and are therefore successful worldwide.
To ensure continued success, it will be critical to manufacture and develop reliable styrofoam recycling products with the highest quality standards in the future and to develop smarter GREENMAX recycling machine solutions that provide maximum efficiency. However, this is certainly note very thing, Lucy Shen, Managing Director of GREENMAX, explains: "The biggest challenge will be in the area of EPS recycling knowledge. It will be crucial to understand the increasingly complex structures of plastic products in order to be able to provide optimal processing solutions in terms of the best possible recycling qualities".

The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic had its beginning in the mid-1960's, as the Centennial Project of the Town of Lunenburg. Originally called the Lunenburg Fisheries Museum, the goal of the volunteers who supervised the project was the formation of a museum which would recognize the historic importance of the fishing industry of the Canadian east coast.
In 1966, the last salt-bank schooner to fish from the port of Lunenburg, Theresa E. Connor, was purchased by the Lunenburg Marine Museum Society. The inspiration for this purchase came from Canada's Centennial Commissioner, John Fisher. He suggested that the preservation of a fishing schooner would be a fitting tribute to the many generations of fishermen who had sailed from Canadian ports.
Several schooners were available at that point in time. The Lunenburg Marine Museum Society entered into discussions with the owners of these schooners, but quickly realized the historic significance of the Theresa E. Connor. In addition to being one of only a few remaining schooners, the appearance of the Theresa E. Connor had not been altered. The vessel was the same as the day it was launched, in 1938. The owners, Zwicker and Company Limited, offered the schooner to the Society at a reduced price of $30,000 and the Theresa E. Connor became the flagship of the Museum. Exhibits were installed in the hold of the vessel, and thousands of visitors were welcomed aboard in the first summer of operation, in 1967.
The Museum developed rapidly. Many volunteer hours were spent by men who had made their living in the fishing industry. Captain Angus Tanner was one of the earliest supporters of the Lunenburg Fisheries Museum. He devoted himself to the collection of artifacts pertaining to the fishing industry.
Many family treasurers found their way to the Museum through his efforts. Sea chests, navigational instruments, charts and other old-time items were gathered and brought in to the Theresa E. Connor. Exhibits were developed based on these donations, arranged by individuals who had first-hand experience in the fishing industry.
By 1975 the Lunenburg Fisheries Museum had found a permanent home at the site of W. C. Smith and Company, a predecessor of National Sea Products Limited. The property had most recently housed the old Lunenburg Sea Products plant. Two other vessels had joined the Theresa E. Connor. They were the Cape North, one of the first wooden side trawlers to successfully fish from the port of Lunenburg, and the rum runner Reo II. Visitor attendance was nearing 50,000 people per season, and plans were well underway for expansion into the adjacent buildings of the old fish plant.
It was during this time period that the Lunenburg Marine Museum Society entered into discussions with the Nova Scotia Museum. The Provincial Museum recognized the importance of the fishing industry in the history of Nova Scotia, and agreed to add the Lunenburg Fisheries Museum to the Nova Scotia Museum system of branch museums. Mr. Ainsley Fralick, Chairman of the Board of the Lunenburg Marine Museum Society, was instrumental in establishing contact with the National Museum of Canada Corporation. As a result, by 1977 the Museum had become part of the Specialized Museums Programme of National Museums of Canada. The name of the Museum was changed to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The Museum received its official mandate from the Federal Government, to focus on the history of the fishing industry for the entire eastern coast of Canada.
Expansion quickly followed with the addition of Federal and Provincial funds. The old fish plant wharves were in need of major repairs. In 1978-79 the wharves were re-built. With this construction, visitors were able to gain safe access to the buildings, which were also under development.
Parks Canada, a federal agency, expressed interest in arranging a permanent exhibit for the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, detailing the age of sail on the Grand Banks fishing grounds. Several years were spent researching the topic, and the final exhibit covers the years from the late 1400's to the 1930's. Detailed models of representative fishing vessels and informative panels were installed. Several works of art were also commissioned for this exhibit, to help in the interpretive study of the Grand Banks fishery. These include silk-screened banners, and a life-sized wooden model of a 211 pound cod, the largest recorded cod ever caught.
Since the early 1980's, many exhibit and research programmes have been implemented at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. More than 25 exhibits and displays are currently open to the public, including a large video and film theatre. Exhibits include an extensive aquarium, with fish that are important to the fishing industry; the famous schooner Bluenose; the tragic August Gales of 1926 and 1927; Rum Runners; Life in Fishing Communities; and Shipbuilding.
The Museum fleet has changed during the years. The schooner Theresa E. Connor is still the flagship of the Museum, having undergone an extensive restoration project, amounting to a sum of more than $750,000. In 1988, for a period of seven months, the Theresa E. Connor was located at the Scotia Trawler Shipyard, in Lunenburg, undergoing carefully supervised restorative work. As is always the case with wooden vessels, maintenance and restoration projects will continue.
The Theresa E. Connor is now partnered with the side trawler Cape Sable. This steel side trawler became part of the Museum in 1984. Built in 1962, Cape Sable fished for National Sea Products Limited until the early 1980's.
The exhibits at the Museum are only one part of the public programs. School groups are encouraged to participate in special projects which high-light aspects of the inshore and off-shore fishing industry. Current school programmes focus on dories, lobsters, life aboard a fishing schooner and the Bluenose. Each program can be adapted to suit various grade levels, and lasts approximately one hour.
The Documentation Centre at the Fisheries Museum includes a photographic collection of several thousand items, archives, a non-lending library, and microfilmed records. All of these research materials are available to students and researchers.
The Education Centre is used by school groups for Museum programs, and by many organizations for meetings and training seminars.

Emery will have no excuse to hide behind if Arsenal's top-four tilt fails
Arsenal won the transfer window.
Unai Emery was able to add Nicolas Pépé, David Luiz, Dani Ceballos and Kieran Tierney to his squad while managing to keep hold of rumoured Barcelona transfer target Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
William Saliba also joined but is spending a year on loan with Saint-Étienne.
The beaten Europa League finalists head into the new season with improved firepower, added creativity and a shored up defence. Boxes have been ticked and cracks have been papered over.
However, winning the transfer window comes with at a cost; increased expectations.
Extra pressure is heaped onto both manager and players. Excuses will no longer be accepted or welcomed. Arsenal have gone big, now they must deliver.
Emery was afforded a transitional season at the Emirates and he wasn't judged too harshly as he went about getting his feet under the table. The Gunners may have narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot, falling short by a single point, but that didn't tell the whole story for the 2018/19 campaign.
They finished one place and seven points better off than they did in Arsène Wenger's final season as manager but a few things must be taken into account.
For starters, the Frenchman didn't have Golden Boot winner Aubameyang at his disposal for an entire season. Emery also didn't have to deal with mid-season upheaval either like the Arsenal legend encountered when he lost Alexis Sánchez in January.
While Emery's side performed better in the league, they did score one fewer goal while conceding the same amount (51).
Granted, this was achieved while implementing a new style with a few new signings, but the fact is, Arsenal got lucky last season.
All of the underlying numbers show they actually claimed 13 more points than expected and such an overperformance isn't something that often happens.
Emery needs to show his style is sustainable and repeatable. After such an investment, Arsenal can't leave it to luck to secure a top-four place. Another season outside of the Champions League might see them forced into selling one or two of their stars next summer.
The Gunners are banking on a top-four finish. With Chelsea adapting to life under Frank Lampard and unable to add to their squad this summer they shouldn't be seen as much of a rival.
Similarly, Manchester United failed to address their weaknesses and their top-six status is under scrutiny.
Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka shore up the defence at Old Trafford but not replacing Romelu Lukaku's goals, of which he scored 28 across two Premier League campaigns, or adding to their midfield suggests they're going to struggle under Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
If Arsenal don't capitalise on this, they've failed.
It appears as though the Gunners and Emery believe their best chance of returning to the top-four this season is to score more goals. The additions of Pépé and Ceballos back this up while the arrival of Luiz implies the defence was an afterthought of sorts.
On paper, this makes sense. This isn't to say the Gunners should treat the Premier League campaign as 38 knockout matches but trying to balance this side as you would when planning for the long-term is a recipe for a disaster.
The squad they've assembled will need defensive reinforcements next summer; and Champions League football means the calibre of players they can attract improves the pool of potential signings.
Arsenal's spending initially looks like a short-term approach but in reality, it's the foundations needed to build a better, more rounded team next year. However, it all hinges on a having secured a return to Europe's top table come May.
It's not top four or bust for the Gunners. But it could be top four or bust for Emery at the Emirates.
