For the past 30+ years, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and Inuit from three communities in the Arctic have collected samples from belugas to better understand their overall health.
The Contaminants: We looked at 2 types of chemicals: certain types of "flame retardants" (chemicals used to reduce the spread of fire in household items like furniture and fabric) and "repellants" (chemicals used to protect surfaces like fabrics from stains).
How do these contaminants get into beluga whales?
These contaminants travel through air and water to the Arctic. Big marine animals like belugas eat many small fish that absorb the contaminants from the ocean. This is how contaminants accumulate in beluga and are concentrated up the food chain.
Findings from monitoring programs help to set International regulations to control the use of contaminants. We monitor levels in the environment to see how well international regulations are working and how they can be strengthened.
Beluga Sample Collections in Three Arctic Communities
Throughout the Arctic, hunters and monitors participate in collecting beluga tissues using sampling kits. These programs occur through partnerships between the DFO and the local HTA's, HTC's and HTO's.
Major Findings:
Levels of these contaminants remain low in beluga in all three regions although did differ in each community. Differences may relate to the diet of belugas in each area.
Most of the repellents were decreasing in belugas, which tells us that international regulations on these chemicals are working.
Even though most of the flame retardants are regulated, levels in belugas in Pangnirtung and Tuktoyaktuk have slowly risen. We think it may take a few years for the international regulations to take affect. We will continue to monitor these contaminants.
Importance of beluga for Inuit:
- Beluga remains a very nutritious food that is culturally important to Inuit.
- Beluga maktaaq and blubber help Inuit get nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- A large beluga can provide over 40 pounds of meat, over 100 pounds of maktaaq and many gallons of oil.

New York City could be the best city to visit for any traveler. With many attractions and things to do, it's no surprise that it is one of the most popular and most visited cities in the whole world. To visit many American icon attractions is always present on most traveler's dream lists. A visit to the famous Empire State Building and of course The Statue of Liberty is a must. After the 9/11 tragedy happened, many thought New York would never recover. But this event even made its residents and the city stronger. "Ground Zero" is surely needed to be visited by all, to remind us of 9/11 and how important to fight for democracy and freedom, not only for Americans but for all the nations of the world.
One of the most recommended ways to see New York tourist attractions is through the many tours the city is offering. Package tours can help anyone to see important attractions without the chance of missing one of them. Unfortunately, most of these packages come with a hefty price. So it means one's budget could be greatly affected, but no worries. The easiest and probably cheapest way to go about this is to buy a good New York City travel guide.
Many are available in the city itself or even the net. Just make sure the one you'll get is complete and precise. Having this handy tool can help in your tour in New York City check on the best routes to the different attractions to maximize your stay in the city. Also, consider these routes that are near and accessible from your hotel.

As states and OCC keep butting heads, does innovation suffer?
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
WASINGTON — Legal squabbles between federal and state regulators have been a staple of the dual banking system for decades. But the disagreements have escalated due to the emergence of fintech companies trying to navigate a regulatory maze.
In 2017, multiple state parties began challenging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's fintech charter. This summer, states also sued both the OCC and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. over rules enabling loan buyers to avoid state interest rate caps. Most recently, state regulators criticized the OCC's push to tailor a specialized federal charter for payments firms.
"Everyone wants to be the regulator in charge, but it has definitely ramped up in the last few years between the states and federal regulators," said Howard Schickler, a partner at Katten.
State backers say protests of recent OCC moves stem from concerns about the Trump administration's deregulatory agenda. They argue an expansion of federal chartering power limits states' ability to fill the consumer protection void.
"How these products flow through the system and on what terms, and who has the right to be a watchdog on this — these are really important policy decisions," said Chris Odinet, a law professor at the University of Iowa. "It trickles down into how people buy homes, cars, use credit cards, all the transactions that make life work every day."
But industry advocates say the rising tide of litigation by states accusing federal bank regulators of overreaching could impede financial innovation. For example, since state lawsuits put the OCC's fintech charter under a legal cloud, no company has formally applied for the charter.
"There's no question that this is hampering innovation," said Scott Pearson, a partner with Manatt who frequently consults with fintech firms on their path into the financial system.
Pearson said the legal challenges ultimately slow down financial firms' efforts to develop new products.
"A huge part of the consideration is the litigation happening right now," he said. "It could really change the risk calculus for these companies. Realistically, we're not going to have certainty on these issues for several years."
The latest court drama focuses on the principle known as "valid when made." The OCC and FDIC issued rules earlier this summer affirming that a bank loan's original interest rate is and remains valid even when the loan is sold through a partnership with a nonbank in a state with lower rate cap.
Consumer advocates and some state authorities say the policy undercuts local efforts to protect consumer from sky-high rates.
In July, the OCC was sued by California, New York and Illinois, accusing the national bank regulator of facilitating rent-a-bank partnerships and flouting procedural requirements. Then, in August, those same states plus Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina and the District of Columbia similarly sued the FDIC.
Meanwhile, the New York State Department of Financial Services won its case challenging the OCC's fintech charter last fall, when a federal judge ruled that the national bank regulator did not have the authority to issue charters without deposit insurance. The case is currently before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The Conference of State Bank Supervisors also attempted to get the charter thrown out in court, but its cases were dismissed.
The OCC has not been deterred. Since coming to office in May, acting Comptroller Brian Brooks has announced a flurry of new fintech initiatives, including a charter supposedly designed for payments companies. In an interview with Politico this week, he said his agency would be prepared to receive applications for a payments-focused fintech charter as early as this week.
"We've satisfied ourselves that we don't need a new regulation or a new statute on it," Brooks told the publication.
But the war of words between the OCC and state regulators has only intensified over the proposed payments charter.
"The OCC's proposed payments charter is no different than the fintech charter already rejected in federal court and subject to a nationwide order preventing the OCC from accepting applications from a company that does not take deposits," CSBS President and CEO John Ryan said in a statement Monday. "State regulators are opposed to this unconstitutional expansion of power."
Financial regulators under the Trump administration have often pressed for the need for robust financial innovation; internationally, the U.S. is frequently cited as a laggard in crafting sophisticated regulatory models to foster fintech.
"We've fallen behind on the kinds of financial technology we're seeing globally," said Michael Brauneis, managing director and leader of the North American financial services industry practice at the consulting firm Protiviti.
The perils of such a lag range from a slow, clunky payments infrastructure to the more existential threat of losing an edge to international competition, Brauneis said.
The CSBS frequently highlights the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System, a platform that allows companies to streamline the application process for several common types of financial service licenses across 27 states, as a way to cut down on compliance burden without undercutting state authority. But analysts are sometimes skeptical that such a system could ever replace a national solution.
The current uncertainty is most damaging for fintech firms in the earliest stages of development, Brauneis said. "If you're just forming a fintech — absolutely, uncertainty is a huge hurdle. It affects the foundation of the company, whether they're a payments company or a lending company," he said.
Pearson said the litigation brought by states' attorneys general on the valid-when-made rules could reinforce companies' regulatory concerns about bank-nonbank partnerships. The OCC and FDIC regulations were meant to remove the legal cloud over interstate loan sales after the 2015 Madden court decision raised questions about such transactions.
"The purpose of the rules issued by the OCC and FDIC was to reduce uncertainty, and the challenges to those rules sustain the uncertainty," Pearson said.
At the heart of the lawsuits brought by states is the limits of federal authority. Both the FDIC and OCC were authorized by acts of Congress to regulate and supervise banks. But today, with an increase in tech-savvy nonbank lenders performing many of the services traditionally done by banks, the question of oversight has become more ambiguous — particularly when it comes to bank and nonbank partnerships.
That could change if Congress chose to clarify whether a fintech firm and its partner activities with banks ultimately fall under federal or state jurisdiction.
"A lot of things can speed this up. Congressional action is the easiest way in theory," Pearson said.
But without that clarity from Congress, other analysts argued, the Trump administration and its bank regulators' have already overstepped their authority.
"Going about this the way the federal regulators have has likely impeded innovation," said Odinet. "No one really knows what the rules are going to be because the federal regulators are going about this on their own and not in concert with the states or with Congress."
Odinet said that the push from the federal bank regulators to assert authority over fintech partnerships was just the latest front of an aggressive turf battle with state authorities. He pointed to the early 2000s, when many states attempted to limit banks' ability to engage in subprime mortgage lending and install strict limits against predatory loans, only to have federal regulators at the OCC and now-defunct Office of Thrift Supervision preempt those rules.
"What we're seeing now is another resurgence of attempts by the federal banking regulators to exercise what in my view is a very muscular interpretation of their legal power in an overreaching way," Odinet said.
Odinet was also skeptical that innovation for innovation's sake was a strong enough rationale to expand banks' national preemption of state laws.
"Subprime mortgages with adjustable rates and negatively amortized terms — that was considered to be very innovative at the time and in line with consumer preferences," Odinet said, "because you could refinance more easily and pull out more equity, have more freedom with it. We have to be careful about innovation and just saying we want to be competitive for competition's sake."
But other analysts say that federal regulators are not coming from nowhere with their latest crop of rulemakings, particularly for the OCC, which supervises an estimated 70% of the banking industry by assets.
"I don't see this as an issue of the OCC's authority swelling like it was never there before," said Pearson. "The pendulum is swinging back towards where it was before Dodd-Frank was passed, when there was an effort to reduce federal preemption."
"I don't see anything today that's unprecedented," he said.
In a statement, OCC spokesperson Bryan Hubbard said the outcome of recent litigation could result in more clarity.
Litigation "is a natural and important part of the process when important changes are being implemented that involve novel legal questions," Hubbard said. "Over time, litigation contributes to regulatory certainty regarding the interpretation of law and policy."
In the interim, however, there are already efforts underway from states to clarify their authority to supervise bank-fintech partnerships.
In Colorado, state regulators crafted a "landmark settlement" with multiple banks and online lenders in mid-August after three years of litigation that effectively amounts to a regulatory guide for nonbank lenders and their bank partners operating the state. The parties must agree to certain terms, including a 36% rate cap.
"Colorado gave the fintech industry a good road map for other state attorneys general to settle cases and put together what's basically a safe harbor framework under which bank-fintech partnerships can operate," said Schickler.
Such a safe harbor agreement, he said, could be replicated by other states that are keen to keep an eye on nonbank lenders under their jurisdiction.
"For the states, it really comes from a sense of wanting to protect consumers in places where certain attorneys general are more empowered than others," Schickler said. "But some states are starting to feel like the federal regulators haven't been doing their jobs, so they're going to do the job."

Guide to Using HDR Photography for Panoramas and 360 Virtual Tours
What is HDR?
High dynamic range (or HDR) photography is a technique that allows a photographer to take the same image at different exposures and then blend them together to produce one image that features the best exposed parts from each of the images. For a virtual tour this is particularly useful as most Virtual tours rely on a 360 degree perspective so often you will be shooting both away from and into a virtual tours light source. Usually this would mean that you would have to compromise between the two and potentially have dark patches that are underexposed on one side and light patches that are over exposed on the other. Using HDR you can shoot at 3 or more exposure levels, low, medium and high and then blend them together to create the perfect panorama.
What are the disadvantages?
Although this technique is very useful it does has its disadvantages: First, processing time: Using HDR imagery effectively triples the amount of images you are dealing with, unless you are using top end equipment (i5+ processors) then this is going to greatly increase time spent during post processing. Second; ghosting. HDR images are 3 or more images taken one after the other. If you have movement in your images (for example trees moving in the wind or someone slipping on a humorously placed banana) then when you come to piecing your images together the differences in the images can cause a grey ghosting effect that can ruin your scene. Finally you will have to work with software that supports HDR imagery; most top end software will but it is still a consideration, especially if you are used to one that does not.
So should I use HDR imagery to create my 360 virtual tours or not?
If you are considering using HDR then my advice is that you should first invest in a tripod and Panohead, the ghosting caused by holding your camera by hand will cause you no end of trouble during post processing and can even make your scene unstitchable. If you do invest in these pieces of equipment then with a bit of experimentation and post production patience you can create some beautiful HDR imagery for you virtual tour. If you are looking to sell the 360 virtual tours you produce HDR is now an industry standard and an essential tool to creating professional, vibrant and well lit panoramas.
Exposure Bracketing
To take HDR images technically all you need is a camera where you can manually change the exposure. You can then set the camera in a fixed position on a tripod and take several images at different exposures for use to create one HDR image. However this process is time consuming, especially for a 360 virtual tour where you will need to take several images for each scene to stitch together later. When your virtual tour contains 10+ scenes this can become a massive time sink. If you are serious about virtual tours then I highly recommend investing in a high end DSLR camera that features exposure bracketing. Exposure bracketing is a feature on a camera that allows you to set the exposures at 3 or more levels (usually low middle and high, then once you press the shutter button the camera will take the images in quick succession. This has the added benefit of reducing ghosting due to the greatly shortened time between taking the images saved by not having to manually adjust the exposure level.
Taking HDR Images
To take HDR images for your virtual tour you need to have the camera set to manual exposure and white balance. Once I have my camera and tripod set up I set my exposures by pointing the camera at the most over exposed part of the panorama (the sun if outdoors, otherwise the brightest light source). I then adjust the exposure until the image is just on the dark side of clear (you may want to be careful here if the sun is fully exposed as pointing the lens of your camera directly into the sun can cause sensor damage. Try not to have it pointing directly at the sun and if you do then only for a few seconds). Once I have the base level set to my satisfaction I adjust exposure bracketing to at least +2 and -2 (some cameras are unable to stretch this far and you might have to take 2 bracketed images). Now your camera should be set and ready to take exposure bracketed images for HDR. You can test it by taking a sample picture, if the camera takes 3 images for each press of the shutter button then exposure bracketing is set and you are ready. Now just take the images you would normally take for a panorama and depending on how many you usually take (I vary between 6 and 12) you should now have a set of three pictures for each one, one light, one normal and one dark. For extra stability set your camera to a 2 second time delay, this will combat ghosting or blurring due to tripod shake.

Haftarah Shemot
"Calling All Saints"
Isaiah 27:6-28:13; 29:22-23 (A);
Jeremiah 1:2:3 (S)
by Mark Huey
The obvious leap in time, from the end of Genesis to the opening of Exodus, makes this a logical point of separation as the Torah is sub-divided into five separate books. The previous focus on the families of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their offspring shifts, as their descendants have multiplied significantly while residing in Goshen. The exact number of years from when Joseph died to when Moses was born is debatable, but it is certainly a number of generations as the new Pharaoh was not knowledgeable about the earlier redeeming works of Joseph:
"But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them. Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:7-8, NASU).
The opening chapters of the Book of Exodus record the unique calling of the self-acclaimed, ineloquent Moses, to lead the people of Israel into freedom. Some of the Sages found parallels between Moses' call, and in the special call that was upon the youthful Jeremiah, who was chosen by God to be a prophet to the Southern Kingdom. Notice in these passages the genuine humility of both Moses and Jeremiah, as they each recognized that being a mouthpiece for Him was beyond their human ability:
"Then Moses said to the LORD, 'Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.' The LORD said to him, 'Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.' But he said, 'Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will'" (Exodus 4:10-13, NASU).
"Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.' Then I said, 'Alas, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, because I am a youth'" (Jeremiah 1:4-6, NASU).
Obviously, two servants of the Lord like Moses and Jeremiah had profound impacts during their respective generations. Neither sought their calling, but simply were chosen by the Almighty for works that He prepared for them from eternity past (cf. Ephesians 2:10). Both were faithful to their calls, despite the challenges which came during their lifetimes.
When one views the life of Moses as captured in the opening of Exodus, and compares it to what one learns of Jeremiah in his prophetic ministry, the statement made by the Lord regarding Him accomplishing His stated words, should bring much comfort to the heart. Just read the following acclamation after God supernaturally touched the mouth of Jeremiah, and then gave this youth an incredible assignment to make declarations to nations and kingdoms, with attendant consequences, which was followed by the promise to perform His word:
"But the LORD said to me, 'Do not say, "I am a youth," because everywhere I send you, you shall go, and all that I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,' declares the LORD. Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me, 'Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.' The word of the LORD came to me saying, 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' And I said, 'I see a rod of an almond tree.' Then the LORD said to me, 'You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it'" (Jeremiah 1:7-13, NASU).
When God calls people into His purpose and speaks His word into their lives, He is fully able to carry it out. As the old sentiment goes, God is not necessarily looking for your ability, but rather your availability. When you have been touched by God and called into His service, are you willing and able to allow Him to use you for whatever purposes He has created you?
These are important things for us to ponder. When we read about the life of Moses, we discover that he spent a lifetime seemingly discussing various issues with God—problems and challenges that crop up in his sojourn through life. While there is initially some reluctance due to self-perceived inadequacies, over time, God performed the word He confirmed to Moses that He was in charge, simply using him as an instrument for the deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage. Later in Moses' life, when the time came for the people of Israel to enter into the Promised Land, we find Moses attempting to change God's word so that he would be able to overcome an indiscretion that occurred when he struck the rock rather than speak to it as directed (Numbers 20:11-12). However, God does not change His word to Moses, but instead reminded Moses that he would receive punishment for his disobedience (Deuteronomy 3:25-26).
Jeremiah's call was different than Moses', but substantial nonetheless. Jeremiah was directed to make prophetic statements to not only six different kings of Ancient Judah, but also declarations about many of the nations in the region. We find that Jeremiah remained faithful to his call throughout his life, despite the numerous physical challenges that ensued. In both cases, the supernatural calls and visitations from the Lord, gave both Moses and Jeremiah the intestinal fortitude to persevere through the trials and tribulations of their respective eras.
It is important that you consider the call that God has upon your life. If you are truly born from above, then God has supernaturally transformed your heart of stone to a heart of flesh, and has taken up residence inside of you via the presence of the Holy Spirit. He has created you for a unique purpose in His created order, and none of us gets a pass on not being useful in the Kingdom's work in some way. By faith in the accomplished work of the Messiah at Golgotha (Calvary), you have a personal responsibility to be a useful vessel in His hands. In the words of the Apostle Paul,
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10, NASU).
By performing the good works He has prepared for us, every Believer has the privilege of accomplishing the call that is upon his or her life.
Moving ahead in the Scriptures, we see many others who were called by God for unique purposes. Paul was one who clearly understood that every saint has a unique place for service unto the Lord, exhorting the audiences of his various epistles to take up their call with all diligence and perseverance:
- "For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, 'LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD' [Jeremiah 9:24]" (1 Corinthians 1:25-31, NASU).
- "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Messiah's gift" (Ephesians 4:1-7, NASU).
- "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Messiah Yeshua from all eternity, but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Messiah Yeshua, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (2 Timothy 1:8-12, NASU).
Time after time, Paul constantly encouraged those he was able to touch in ministry, to walk in a manner worthy of their calling, unashamed, without regard to the fact that God often chooses weak and seemingly foolish vessels to confound the purported wise and strong of the world. This does not mean that Believers are weak willed or ignorant people, but rather that they joyfully choose to be weak in their own strength so that God can be strong through them (2 Corinthians 12:9-11).
Thankfully, the Lord has given us the extended testimonies of individuals like Moses and Jeremiah. The testimony of those like Paul confirm that there has been a line of faithful people called by God for His service. As saints who have received the same calling of salvation, it is inherent upon each of us that we continually grow and mature in the knowledge not only of our Messiah Yeshua, but our respective responsibilities and the mission we are to perform. With this in mind, I offer you this given our collective need to be enlightened in every capacity, so that we might all fulfill the call that is upon each of our lives:
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Messiah, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the [assembly], which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all" (Ephesians 1:18-23, NASU).
No one called of the Father has an excuse to avoid the works that He has prepared for us in which to walk! He will perform His word whether we believe it or not. Moses, Jeremiah, and Paul all knew it to be true. If you are called, respond accordingly and accomplish much in the Lord! He will receive all the glory!
This teaching has been excerpted from Torahscope Haftarah Exhortations by William Mark Huey.

President Del Wilson just sent out an email on the above- I think many FCMers are in tears right now including myself. Kif was one the most wonderful persons I have met in my life, I miss him already, and all of us will be thinking about Kif in Nashville next year. I do really know that Kif is with his Savior now, and as Del has said, we look forward to meeting again. Our sympathy to Patricia, Faith and of his magical partner Gene (Oz)- may His Spirit of Comfort be with us all today.

Anita: "I don't mind the gym, but what I don't like is my membership bill each month. I want to stay fit but I just can't afford it. Plus, I don't want to pay for a class that I haven't tried. What if I don't enjoy it? Also, money wasted." *
Jessica: "I have 3 kids. There's no way I can fit in a long workout. But 20 minutes? I can do that while the oldest are at school and the youngest is taking a nap! Plus, I don't have pay a babysitter while I go to the gym!" *

GT Fish was founded by George Theze at age 15 in 2017.
'At the beginning it was just a young boy delivering fish throughout his hometown on his bike with a large Nike dufflebag containing boxes of fresh fish. 3 years later we're delivering across the whole country.'
GT Fish is a Whitstable based company offering the freshest local fish and seafood caught by our very own fleet of day boats. We offer nationwide delivery and hand prepare our catch on the day of the delivery.
sustainable Sourcing
We source the best part of our fish from local harbours using a fleet of upwards of 30 boats. These small vessels land into us daily.
All of the boats in our fleet are day boats reaching up to 10m in length; this means they fish for shorter periods, going in and out daily with the tide and providing a much higher quality, fresher fish. Our large fleet strengthens the supply and gives us the ability to keep up with the high demand for fresh, locally sourced seafood.
Why is this better?
This is much better than purchasing from larger organisations and operations as the quality of our fish is much better. Many other companies use larger vessels to source their fish. The larger vessels go further out into sea and fish for much longer periods. This means the fish caught at the start of the trip is not going to be of the highest quality and freshness by the time the one/two week round trip is over.
With our boats all being under 10m long they only fish for a matter of hours at a time. They go in and out with the tide daily. Once the boats are back into their moorings, we collect the fish and weigh it into the correct gradients and fully hand prepare it. By this point it is only up to 12 hours old. All fish is then packed and distributed.
Sometimes we have to put the fish through a sitting process in which it cannot be prepared or sold as it is 'too fresh' and will not cook well.
Having strong supplier relationships enables us to purchase from other places around the country and world. Therefore bringing us the freshest fish from other parts, enlarging our product base and allowing us to cater for more people - creating a better service.
All of our fish is vacuum sealed and packed sensibly and professionally in fully recyclable, cardboard boxes. The vacuum seal removes 99.6% of oxygen from the bag; dramatically reducing the rate in which bacteria can grow on the fish and make it go off. Therefore prolonging the shelf life of the product.
The vacuum bags simplify freezing by protecting the product and making it easier to handle. You can also boil the product in the bag.
When shipping nationwide we use polystyrene boxes to insulate the product further as the product will be in transit for that slight bit longer. Two frozen gel packs are placed in the box at both the bottom and the top. As stated in the terms and conditions... When shipping frozen products they are not distributed in a frozen compartment. Please purchase with this mind. To find out more information on this subject please see our terms and conditions on our policies and procedures page.
We Look After Our Oceans.
We're not pirates. We look after our ocean and its stock, protecting the environment and our future.

Tubbs owns the Local Shop with her husband and brother, Edward. She is very protective of the 'precious things' in the shop, and very naive about the world.
Edward owns the Local Shop with his no-tail (wife), Tubbs.
He is very keen that Vasey remains local, and any one from outside the area is likely to find themselves tortured and then killed by Edward.
Pauline is the restart officer at the local Job Centre. She doesn't seem at all interested in helping the job seekers (or "dole scum" as she calls them) find actual employment. She has no friends... unless you count her pens.
Mickey is a very stupid man who is taking Pauline's restart employment course. He wants to be a fireman, but Pauline thinks he's not even qualified enough to push trolleys around at the local supermarket. Despite all the insults she throws at him, Mickey has a soft spot for Pauline.
Ross is smart and intelligent and hates the way Pauline is treating those on the Job Centre course. He often argues with her, and asks questions that expose her own ignorance. At first we wonder why he is on the course with the others, but then it becomes apparent.
Benjamin (Series 1-2)
Benjamin is the nephew of local Royston Vasey residents Val and Harvey Denton. He arrives in the town to meet up with his friend, taking up the offer of staying at his relatives' house for the night. Before long though he finds himself staying for much longer than expected, and the house rules he must keep a nightmare to live under.
Uncle Harvey (Series 1-2)
Harvey Denton is toad lover and hygiene freak. Poor Benjamin must go along with his bizarre house rules, and dodge constant euphemistic suggestions about his masturbation habits.
Auntie Val (Series 1-2)
Val is Harvey's adoring wife. She goes along with all the house rules, and helps devise the rhymes for remembering which towel is for which body area part, and such like.
Geoff is a local businessman, who works at the same manufacturing company as Mike Harris and Brian Morgan. He likes to think he has a good sense of humour, but in reality constantly has a sense of humour failure. He's a very angry man... and not stable enough to own a gun. Which is a shame, as he does have a gun!
Mike is a businessman and pub-regular along with Geoff Tipps and Brian Morgan. Mike has been promoted ahead of Geoff... something that Geoff isn't that happy about! During the show, Mike gets married to his wife... or fat plain wife, if you go along with Geoff's description.
Mild-mannered Brian often finds his life taking a turn for the worse, a problem caused by the fact he knows Geoff.
Charlie Hull
Football-shirt wearing Charlie is the husband of Stella. He hates his wife and they rarely exchange a nice word. In Series 3 he becomes a professional masseuse.
Stella Hull (Series 1-2)
Stella is the bitter wife of Charlie. The only time the pair ever seem to get on is when they talk through someone being a third party.
Les McQueen
Les is a fading Seventies singer. An ex-member of Eurovision hopeful band Crème Brulee, he doesn't seem to quite be able to move on from his glory days, despite the fact he knows that showbusiness is a "shit business".
Mr Chinnery (Series 1-2)
Dr Chinnery is a bungling but well-meaning veterinarian. He can often be heard saying to his clients "I'm afraid I've got some rather upsetting news", having somehow managed to kill yet another of their animals in a bizarre accident.
Herr Lipp (Series 2)
Wolf Lipp is a teacher hailing from Duisberg (in Germany), who comes to Royston Vasey as part of an exchange trip. It soon becomes apparent that he is a bit too interested in young boys.
Lance Longthorne (Series 1 & 3)
Lance is the one-armed owner of the town's joke shop, and is far from funny. Most of the items he sells are too sadistic to ever consider using.
Ollie Plimsolls
Ollie is the founder of Legz Akimbo, the community theatre company who come to Royston Vasey on a number of occassions. He's a bad writer and performer, but doesn't seem to realise that people are watching on with pity rather than praise.
Dave Parkes
Dave is an actor in Legz Akimbo Theatre Company. He just gets on with performing Ollie's terrible plays - a job is a job after all - even though he could probably write something better himself.
Phil Proctor
Phil is also part of Legz Akimbo. When some TV jobs comes calling he soon is ready to leave the group though... something that makes Ollie even more bitter.
Mrs Levinson
Judee Levinson is a glamorous woman who reminds her hired cleaner what a brilliant life she has. We later learn much more about Judee, and realise her connection to Iris is closer than one might expect, and that her life isn't quite as ordered, exciting and wealthy as she's trying to portray.
Iris is Judee Levinson's common-as-muck housekeeper. She has a super-big family she struggles to keep control over, but seems pretty happy with her life.
Hilary Briss (Series 1-2)
Hilary Briss looks like a respectable butcher at a first glance, but could in fact be described as the demon butcher of Royston Vasey. Just what is the "special stuff" he is selling surreptitiously to select clients?
Sam Chignell (Series 1-2)
Sam is a local councillor and one of those addicted to the "special stuff" that Hilary Briss is selling.
Maurice Evans (Series 1-2)
Maurice Evans is a local magistrate who, despite trying to resist temptation, finds himself trying the "special stuff" that Hilary Briss is offering. Whatever it is, it's soon got Maurice craving more. Maurice starts to cause Hilary problems when he starts introducing more people, including his wife, to what is supposed to be the carefully controlled supply chain.
Reenie (Series 2-3)
Reenie is a charity shop volunteer, who is a bit obsessed with plastic bags.
Vinnie (Series 2-3)
Vinnie works at the local charity shop, who - along with Reenie - has a dislike of "that Meryl"... an un-seen volunteer who comes in on another day and seems to muck everything up for them. From what we can tell though, it's Rennie and Vinne who leave things in a disorganised mess.
Bernice Woodall
Bernice is Vasey's foul-mouthed vicar and agony aunt. She always speaks her mind and isn't afraid to say something even if it's not politically correct. Later, she has somehow managed to become the Mayor of the town.
Murray (Series 2)
Murray works in Royston Vasey's council. At first he's assistant to Larry Vaughn, and later to Bernice Woodall. He often has some good suggestions (like not to swear live on the news), but is essentially a 'yes' man who will agree with his boss.
Pop is a Greek newsagent and a perverted landlord. He's a nasty piece of work, and regularly breaks personal space boundaries when it comes to dealing with the opposite gender. The fact he's installed hidden camera in his flats so he can watch the residents go to the loo and make love gives you a good idea of his moral compass.
Al (Series 1-2)
Al is the eldest son of pervy entrepreneur Pop. He is sensible and level-headed and knows how to run a successful retail business, but - despite everything - he's still petrified of his dad.
Richie (Series 1)
Richie is the younger son of Pop, and brother to Al. Despite being enthusiastic and having his heart in the right place, he seems to always manage to disappoint his father... resulting in beatings.
Henry (Series 1-2)

Ally (Series 1-2)
Ally is the horror film fan who has already "sin" (seen) everything that's out on DVD.
Papa Lazarou (Series 2-3)
Papa Lazarou is a freaky circus ringmaster who 'collects' wives. If spouses start to go missing in your town, it might be that Papa Lazarou has arrived.

Reflection: Evangelical Christians rightly reject any suggestion that salvation can be earned by good works. Yet the New Testament makes it plain that Jesus' judgment will be "according to works" (apart from today's passage, see Matt. 25:31-45, Rom. 2:6, Hebrews 12:14; see also Prov. 24:12, Jer. 32:19). There are two aspects to this idea. One we have dealt with in previous days – good works are the necessary corroborating evidence of real faith (and persistence in sin is damning evidence of the lack of it). But there is another aspect as well. Even people
who are spared condemnation at the Final Judgment because of their saving faith in Christ will still be subjected, in some mysterious way, to a system of reward and punishment. Those who do not leave behind a worthwhile earthly legacy will "suffer loss" (1 Cor. 3:10-15). Most of us, perhaps, will receive a combination of rewards and punishments. Privileged twenty-first century Australian Christians should remember that Jesus will consider our individual capacities and opportunities (Luke 12:48, 13:30).
Questions: What is your attitude toward the prospect of judgment by Jesus according to works? How do your works to date – in particular, your efforts at evangelism – stack up?
Prayer: Father, I realise that Jesus will reward and punish me appropriately for all my works, good and bad. Help me to take all my opportunities to do good works, especially works whose fruits will last in your eternal kingdom. Amen

On a rainy Thursday afternoon 12 days before Christmas, New York Islanders player Matt Martin presented little Jared Perez with a gift.
It was a music-making toy, and the nine-month old boy who had been in New Hyde Park's Cohen Children's Medical Center since early November began to smile.
Martin and teammates Johhny Boychuk, Josh Bailey and Anders Lee visited the hospital to first play games with patients and then deliver gifts to children in their rooms.
"These visits are always extremely special just because these kids are going through so much in their day to day life," Lee said. "The bravery that they have to show, how strong they are as kids through all these treatments and everything, for us to kind of take a few minutes with them and get their mind off it is always extremely enjoyable, and these kids are pretty inspiring."
Phineas Cullen, 8, had arrived at the hospital a few days prior with kidney problems, his mother Sue Cullen said.
That afternoon, Boychuck challenged him to first mini air hockey, which Boychuck won, and then Connect 4, which Cullen consecutively beat him at.
"He does swimming, he plays football," said Sue Cullen of her son. "One of his swim meets was at Nassau County Aquatic Center and he was like, 'Look that's where the Islanders play, Mommy,' so he knows who they are."
Jared Perez's mother Teresa Perez said her son has had three head surgeries at the hospital since June. The surgery isn't offered in Staten Island where she lives, she said.
"This is the best hospital," Teresa Perez said in Spanish. "The doctors are very good doctors. All of them."
This annual event with the Islanders helps gets patients out of their rooms, said the hospital's special events coordinator Danielle Young. Cohen Children's Medical Center holds at least one holiday event for them every day of December.
"They come in and they just bring so much joy to the kids," Young said. "These kids look up to these people."

How does growing up without a father affect a growing boy? Are there physiological or psychological effects? What can I do to help my son?
In days gone by, the nuclear family with 2.4 children was the foundation of society. I can remember being the exception in school, the odd one out. Growing up without a father was certainly unusual, unusual and tough.
How times have changed. Now the numbers tell a very different story. There are now 1.6 million women raising a child or children alone.
As an example, in Manor Castle, a ward of Sheffield, 75 percent of all households are headed by a single parent, most often a woman.
If you believed the church and the state, the breakdown of Western society was due to single parent (read between the lines…women!!) families, their decadence and their irresponsibility. We can all laugh at these old, tired, well worn, sad old tropes but the perception of a single parent family and, more crucially, the children from single parent families is still writ large in the psyche of society.
For boys, growing up without a father can lead to:
- Effects on mental health.
- More pressure on the mother (time, emotionally, physically and financially).
- Reduced socialisation and academic achievement.
- Lower success in adulthood.
- Weaker relationships.
- Less balanced upbringing overall.
How Does Growing Up Without a Father Affect Boys?
The single parent boy is bound to underachieve in school. He will have poorer job prospects. He is more likely to indulge in petty crime, more likely to be part of the prison system. A child of a single parent is more likely to engage with gateway drugs and by association, hard drugs.
We have all seen, heard about and read about all of these things time and time again. If this is such a big problem, why did I not experience any of these things growing up without a father? My sister and I were raised by my mother after my father died when I was 12.
What was it? Was it luck? The more I think about it, it was not. It was my mother. Her strength, grace, power and determination helped both me and my sister avoid the typical traps and pitfalls that have so convinced society at large.
Role Models
Traditionally having a 'male' role model has a whole raft of benefits. These are well documented and researched so it isn't really necessary to belabour the points again here. How, then, is it possible that both me and my sister dodged the proverbial bullet?
I think the undue fixation on a 'male' and a male role model or father figure may be doing parents of the world a disservice. What growing children need is an authority figure or role model or models that they can look up to. One that they can aspire to be, one they can see all the qualities that they desire encapsulated in the important people in their lives.
With care and attention, any parent can provide the guidance, skill set and balance needed by young children. In 2020 these qualities are well understood and easy to mirror in our behaviours.
If we look at the issue and break it down we can all name 'male' attributes, something that we traditionally assign to the father or father figure. There is:
- Strength.
- Stoicism.
- Protection and taking 'care' of the family.
- Being a breadwinner and provider.
- Strong work ethic.
- Trustworthiness.
- A teacher of morals and values.
- Patience.
- Spends time with his sons.
- Plus many others that I am sure you can think of too.
Strength isn't exclusively a male preserve. It can be demonstrated in innumerate ways, not just simply lifting heavy boxes and carrying all the shopping bags at once. Changing a car tire or doing a few DIY jobs around the house isn't something that only dad can do.
We can dissect the list point by point but I am sure that already you can see that one by one, the idea of only a 'male' can provide these things seems increasingly quite bizarre as you work through the list. Is it really true that in 2020 a 'male' quality is that of a 'breadwinner' or a protector or even having a strong work ethic?
It can be seen then, and I think you will agree, a lot of these 'traditional' values having nothing to do with inherently being a 'father' or even just 'male'. They are the qualities of just being a good parent. No more, no less. I believe there is an over reliance in some quarters on the genderisation of parental roles.
Isn't enough that we concentrate on being the best possible parent we can be? In doing so we can hope to instill all the values we want to see in our boys as they grow into young men?
Feminine Power
If I went on to list the values of caring, sharing, nurturing, teaching, loving or patience, we could all agree they would be admirable qualities in a well adjusted young man. On reflection, it could equally be suggested that all of these were very 'feminine' or mothering qualities. It just adds to the lie of the idea that there are gendered qualities rather than those of a 'good parent'.
We can all agree that it would be better if a growing boy had two good parents, if only to share the workload and financial burdens. After all, we all need help at some point or another. An extra pair of hands too, can be a godsend, even at the best of times. The key point being a parent or parents, not just the tropes of 'mother' and 'father'.
Problems on the Horizon?
It is certainly true that boys would feel better talking to their dad or a father figure about typically 'boy stuff'. Going to their parent or parents for deeply personal issues can be very hard for a growing boy at the best of times.
It is true that having only a mother for these 'boy talks' would make it harder, so it is imperative that open and frank dialogues are an important part of any single parent households. If the ground work isn't done early, it would certainly make the difficult job of adolescence more of a chore than it already is.
What should you be aware of? There are certain key times, birthdays, Christmas, father's day etc…that will certainly bring the issue to the fore. As the parent, you can take time to ask if he would like to talk through any issues he may have had at school or seen in the media.
You can ask if he would like to do anything special with you? You can look for extra engagement and provide additional reassurance. Losing one parent can create fear that you too may also leave. The fear of possible abandonment is all too real, growing up this was, on the bad days, often on my mind.
The Teen Years?
A young boy, or growing teenager may find it hard or even be unwilling to articulate these feelings and simply bottle them up. I know that this was hard to tell my mum. I always had the fear that I would add to the burdens. I wanted 'to be a man' and not complain and simply deal with it.
I realise now that mum was all too aware of this and that all the awkward 'chats' we had weren't my mother being fussy or prying. I now know that she was always aware of my pain and trying to help me bring it up.
If you are a 'man down', literally, and sorry about the awful pun, what can you do to help your boy who is growing up without a father?
Boys will be boys and they certainly have their own set of unique problems growing up. With the right groundwork, care and attention these problems can be managed, headed off at the pass so to speak.
If open discussion and a sharing of feelings are part and parcel of the household, then this can help mitigate any distance of discomfort a boy will feel talking to his mother about his problems.
You can't take the place of a lost father. You can't be the 'dad' he needs. What you can be is a role model that embodies all the qualities that you aspire to see in your son. He can learn strength, honesty and decency from you. You can be the positive force in his life to shape his formative years.
I know, I have seen it done and am the living proof that it can work.

Trial begins for man accused of holding boy hostage in Liberty Township
The trial has started for Donald Gazaway
The trial has started for Donald Gazaway
The trial has started for Donald Gazaway
The trial has started for Donald Gazaway.
He's charged in connection to a hostage situation in Liberty Township that resulted in a 30-hour standoff with police in January.
"The evidence will show that my client is not guilty. My client, Donald Gazaway, did not shoot or wound anybody," said defense attorney Lawrence Hawkins.
Gazaway is facing a long list of charges including kidnapping, inducing panic and assault on a police officer.
"At one point, they (officers) saw the defendant holding him in front of him like a human shield. At another point, they saw Sincere (Trammell) with a gun to the back of his head," said prosecutor Phil Yowler.
The young victim at the center of the case, now 11-year-old Sincere Trammell, took the stand to explain just what happened over that two-day timeline.
Sincere said it all started with an argument between his mother and Gazaway.
"He was pointing a gun towards her head," testified Sincere.
"And what was he saying when he was doing that?" asked prosecutor Kraig Chadrick. "He kept saying, 'Give me $10,000,' over and over again."
Sincere testified that when he went to call police, Gazaway broke the phone.
His mother fled and Sincere says that's when things escalated.
"Did he ever fire the policeman gun when he was in your closet?" asked Chadrick.
"Yes," said Sincere.
"Did he say anything about why he was firing the gun?"
"What did he say?"
"To scare the police away," said Sincere.
The prosecutor said detectives later found spent bullet casings throughout the apartment and three guns with Gazaway's DNA, including an A-K 47.
Sincere testified he and Gazaway moved between rooms in the apartment and eventually went to the garage.
"Did you want to stay in there with Mr. Gazaway?" asked Chadrick.
"Why did you stay there?"
"Because I was afraid he was going to shoot me," said Sincere.
Testimony in the trial is expected to continue tomorrow.

"Solvitur Ambulando" – It is solved by walking, 2019 Labyrinth Walks, Heritage Baptist Church – Cartersville GA:
There are only few people who indulge me in my labyrinth walking hobby. And one is my sister. And she is game for all my shenanigans.
We headed out from her house toward Cartersville Ga midday. We first stopped for lunch at the 4 Way Lunch where I had a new experience with a hotdog all the way … I'll go back, but I won't be surprised next time.
And then to the labyrinth at Heritage Baptist Church. The is self-described Chartres-esque, but actually it is a 5 circuit, work each quadrant at a time, labyrinth.
"The labyrinth is an Eagle Scout project by Morgan North, completed in the fall of 2017. It is located on the back left side of the church facility. We're in the process of developing online resources for guided walks."
Noticeable is the setting. We are outside of Cartersville on what used to be farmland. There are several churches and a new retirement community on this road. There is a planted field next door and the mountains in the distance.
My sister was here earlier in the spring and she says the box woods are new. We both agreed that is was "Pineview hot" … if you get it, you'll know.
The timing of the labyrinth works pretty well even though it only had 5 circuits.
As we were finishing we heard fire or ambulance sirens in the distance… Maybe at the senior center…
And next on our journey we drove the 45 minutes to the High Museum to see the Maira Kalman exhibit, The Pursuit of Everything: Maira Kalman – Event in Atlanta, GA.
https://www.atlanta.net/events/detail/the-pursuit-of-everything-maira-kalman/120616/ She is a favorite of mine.
I think my sister is a convert!
From Fireboat (2002), we were seriously moved by the illustration of 9/11 and the rescue efforts of the fireboat …
And we had a grand time laughing way too loud over "gouache," the paint, not the soup "gazpacho" or the stew "goulash," as in "Hungarian goulash."
Part of this quote is on a wall in the exhibit:
"When I go out for a walk, there is so much that makes me happy to be alive. Breathing. Not thinking. Observing. I am grateful beyond measure to be part of it all. There are people, of course, heroic and heartbreaking, going about their business in splendid fashion.
There are the discarded items — chairs, sofas, tables, umbrellas, shoes — also heroic for having lived life in happy (or unhappy) homes.
There are trees. Glorious and consoling. Changing with the seasons. Reminders that all things change. And change again. There are flowers, birds, babies, buildings.
I love all of these. But above all, I am besotted by dogs."
Source: Beloved Dog: Maira Kalman's Illustrated Love Letter to Our Canine Companions – Brain Pickings, �https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/10/29/beloved-dog-maira-kalman/
I wish she would draw my Albert!
Now for some pool time!
