Mayor names Galante to lead Nashville Music Council
By Milt Capps Updated 10 Nov. 2015 0800
Joe Galante
Updated Nov. 10, 2015 - The Tennessean reports today that ProjectMusic Founder and former SONY Nashville chief Joe Galante will head the Council. He had two predecessors in the role (original story, below). He was appointed by Metro/Nashville Mayor Megan Barry. Earlier this year, Goodman was named CEO of SONY Nashville Music. Our original July 12, 2011 story follows, detailing the early days of the council's leadership. -Ed.
Metro Nashville/Davidson County Mayor Karl Dean is appointing Music Row veteran Randy Goodman to be his co-chair of the Nashville Music Council.
Randy Goodman
Goodman, most recently president of Lyric Street Records, was chosen by Dean, who created the Council in 2009 and continues to co-chair the group personally, as part of an effort to promote throughout the U.S. and world Music industry Nashville's claim as the venue-of-choice for Music ventures, live performance, employment and music education, among other aims.
The group's agenda also reflects growing global awareness of the role and contributions of "the Creatives" as a socioeconomic class.
In a release this morning, Mayor Dean said, in part, "Randy is the right person to promote our Music City brand and to help Nashville continue to attract and retain musicians and other creative people... He is the right guy to convince companies that Nashville is the place to be if they want to do business in the music industry. And, like me, he believes you can never have too much live music happening in our city."
Over the past year, the Nashville Music Council has established a partnership with the Nashville Entrepreneur Center to help incubate startups in digital media and entertainment; created a sweeping education plan for 2012 to place Nashville and its public schools at the forefront of global music education; and helped develop plans for Nashville's first artists' residence, The Ryman Lofts, which will consist of 60 one- to three-bedroom apartments.
The Council also created the Council's website and developed a live-music app, now available via iTunes, listing Nashville live-music venues and schedules.
The Council is a partnership between the Mayor's Office, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau. Its foremost goal is to leverage Nashville's identity as Music City.
Mary Ann McCready, a partner at Flood, Bumstead, McCready & McCarthy, served the past two years as co-chair with the mayor. Its members include about 60 artists and music industry executives.
Bio materials on Nashville native Goodman show that he started Lyric Street for the Walt Disney Co. in 1997 and led the unit til its closure, last year. Lyric artists included Rascal Flatts, Miley Cyrus, Josh Gracin, SHeDAISY and Aaron Tippin. Goodman has also has worked with Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, the Judds, Alabama, Keith Whitley, Clint Black, the Dave Matthews Band and the Wu Tang Clan, among other artists.
Goodman is a former president of the Country Music Association and a member of its board of directors, as well as a trustee for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He began his career in 1980 at Top Billing and later worked in publicity, artist development, marketing and sales.
At one point, Goodman moved to RCA NY with that label's then-president Joe Galante, and worked there as senior vice president in marketing for RCA records globally.
He earned a bachelor's in political science and economics at David Lipscomb University and attended Belmont University in the formative years of its School of Music program. VNC

Canal Boat > Boats
Me and my boats: A career in canal art
Published: 10:15 AM August 29, 2019

Howard and Melanie Leader's holidays lead to a career in canal art
Baron of the Waterways - Credit: Archant
As I carefully piloted the hire boat away from the wharf reciting the list of training points from our briefing session of the last hour, with my wife Melanie watching the sides for clearances and the engine on tick-over to pass the line of moored boats, I could not have known then just how much that first canal holiday would change our lives.
We were hiring from a small, private boatyard to explore the Ashby canal, my reasoning being that with only a stop-lock on the way it would be a relatively trouble-free cruise for a pair of first-timers. We did all the things that first-timers do, admired the scenery, stopped at delightful pubs, diligently turned the grease gun at night, unclogged the plastic bags from the weed box, hit our heads on the low hatch opening, watched a mooring cleat disappear into the murky depths and admired the bravery of our dog barking fearlessly at swans from the safety of the moving deck. But there was something else having a slower, yet more profound effect on us. While the boating bug buried its mouth parts into me, Melanie was being drawn to the picture panels and rose clusters painted on the boats we passed and soon the memory card on our camera was filling with pictures of Buckby Cans, planters, pigeon boxes and milk churns.
Melanie has always been an artist but neither of us had heard of canal art before that trip and by the end of the holiday, as I was burbling on about Lister engines and the merits of semi-trad over the cruiser-deck, Melanie announced that she intended to research this art form as she had found her medium.
In the months that followed she applied herself to learning as much as possible about the canal art tradition and began experimenting with some of its forms.
Canal art has its origins in the very beginnings of the canal story, evolving as the modern era canal network grew in this country. We know that agricultural wagons and carts of the 18th century were decorated with rose clusters against brightly painted blue, green or red panels carefully lined-out in yellow and it was not long before the canal's need for experienced horse-operators saw some agricultural workers leave the land for a life on the cut. With those early pilots came their painted roses designs to brighten their cabins and deck equipment, which explains the floral element in the work. The castle scenes in the Roses & Castles tradition are harder to pin down, although it seems that artists employed in the ceramics industry painting landscapes onto china plates were employed on piece-work and may well have earned extra money by painting castle scenes with similar elements to their ceramicware onto the decorative boat panels. This does not explain the rather fantastical style of canal castles but is an historical best guess. What is certain is that over time this style, which originated in the Midlands, settled into a very specific art form carried on narrowboats up and down the country.
There are some local differences in painting style, most notably on the Leeds-Liverpool canal where Brightwork substitutes roses for ornate scrolls and the castles scenes give way to cottages, windmills and sailing boats. The basic principle, however, remains the same - domestic areas and equipment lavishly painted to brighten the boatman's life. Canal art is not subtle - to be visible from the towpath it has to be bold, bright and striking. Neither is it "fine", canal art has its roots in folk art and over the past two-and-a-half centuries has been applied by professional painters and hobby painters alike. But it is now an established "traditional" style with its "rules" about colour pallet, motifs, icons and lettering, all of which Melanie soaked up under the expert tuition of Master Craftsman Dave Moore.
Our annual hire-boat holidays continued, Melanie's collection of inspirational photos carried on growing and so did the number of people approaching her to paint panels and objects for their boats and homes. She achieved a Journeyman qualification as a "decorative painter" from the Waterways Crafts Guild and I had to build a studio in our garden.
Over time, Melanie's enthusiasm for sharing the story of canal art saw her undertake a series of illustrated talks for clubs, art-groups and societies and gradually seek other ways to bring canal art to a wider audience. In 2016, to mark 900 years since the Barons forced the signing of Magna Carta, the city of Lincoln launched it's "Baron's trail" a street art project featuring identical statues of medieval Barons painted in different styles to represent Lincolnshire life. Melanie saw an opportunity to celebrate Lincolnshire's waterways heritage and created a Baron of the Waterways carrying all the traditional canal art motifs with some "local" adaptations bringing Tattershall Castle into one panel and Lincoln Castle into another. The trail organisers decided that the most appropriate place for a Baron of the Waterways would be beside the Brayford Wharf in the city centre where a number of canal boats are moored. We little expected that the event would be launched by the arrival of Melanie's Baron on a boat along the River Wytham and winched into place at the Brayford as the trail was declared "open".
Since then Melanie has shown work in "main-stream" art exhibitions, adhering strictly to the canal art tradition but always looking for new audiences - which brings us to 2019. Early in the year, when the closest most people get to narrow-boating is reading Canal Boat in front of the fire with a steaming mug of hot chocolate, top garden designer Mark Gregory was hard at work on his master plan for an extraordinary creation for this year's Chelsea Flower Show. His pride in the county of his birth is evident from previous acclaimed gardens and this year he turned his attention to the waterways, designing a garden depicting a rural lock with keeper's lodge in a stunning semi-wild garden setting.
Such is Mark Gregory's attention to detail that he tries to ensure that everywhere the eagle-eyed judges might look there will be something interesting to see. So it came about that Melanie was asked to create a small collection of bespoke canal art pieces to decorate the interior of the lodge. In Mark's all-important back-story for the garden, he imagined that the lock keeper, with a passion for the canal he serves, has lovingly collected a number of "pieces" over the years which he keeps in the lodge to remind him of a life-time on the cut. Accordingly, Melanie designed a pair of cabin doors in traditional roses and castles style, a milk churn in the field colour of the Yorkshire flag with the white rose prominent in the design and a stylised Skipton Castle in the picture panel, a picture board hat rack in the Leeds-Liverpool Brightwork style depicting Bingley Five Rise locks and some sundry billy cans and planters to go on the desk and shelves. This collection was duly installed in the lodge and immediately became one of the "secrets" of the Welcome to Yorkshire garden as it was only ever seen by the judges and VIP guests while Chelsea Flower Show visitors caught no more than a tantalising glimpse of the art work through the open lodge door.
The garden went on to win a Chelsea Flower Show Gold and the people's choice for Best Garden in Show. Such was the interest in the garden that Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre agreed to reveal the "secret" of the WTY garden by putting the garden artwork on exhibition where it can be seen until the end of October.
Ten years on we still enjoy our annual hire boating and, as I stand at the tiller accompanied by the gentle thrum of the engine while we drift along, my mind goes back to that first experience on the Ashby. That trip launched us on this most remarkable of journeys, and I admit to basking in reflected pride when a boat goes the other way with a familiar piece of art on top.
The collection is now on exhibition at the Standedge Tunnel Visitor until the end of October. Have a look at the link

Anjelica's Irish Memories
Anjelica Huston.
Anjelica Huston.
Oscar-winning actress Anjelica Huston spent part of her youth in Craughwell, Co. Galway where her father, legendary movie director John Huston, owned an estate called St. Clerans. Anjelica lived with her mother and younger brother Tony, in what was known as the estate's "little house," and the place still seems to have a place in her heart. Some ten years ago, Anjelica brought her then boyfriend Robert Graham to Ireland. He proposed to her in Dromoland Castle before they traveled to the old homestead in Co. Galway.
It wasn't an easy trip, and while she made her way around the little house, she couldn't bring herself to visit the main estate. "I'm a very emotional person and I'd already inflicted enough emotion on the residents," she says. "Poor Bob had to witness a breakdown in the stable-yard. Awful. I had thought that we could creep in, that everyone would be at Mass. I was a wreck. So many memories…it's a painful thing, particularly since so much has changed there." The estate has since been bought by American entertainment impresario Merv Griffin and has been transformed into a hotel. ♦

Challenge two for Good Neighbour initiative kicks off
The second Meet Your Neighbour challenge, put together by Leduc's Family and Community Support Services has begun and will run until April 11.
The challenge is part of the Good Neighbour Initiative which started as a way to get community members to connect. Each year the initiative allows for several types of events and activities including Good Neighbour Day in June and Pitch-in Week in April.
Challenge two for Good Neighbour initiative kicks off Back to video
"Good Neighbours as a whole has been around for quite a few years now … it's all about encouraging people in Leduc to get to know their neighbours and build those connections," FCSS Social Planning Lead Tabitha White said.
The Meet Your Neighbour challenge is new this year, encouraging residents to get out and meet others in their community. The first challenge had people introducing themselves and learning their neighbour's names, the second has people learning a little more about those neighbours.
It invites people to make an observation about six of their neighbours. Contestants are encouraged to fill out a form with those observations and then submit it for a chance to win a Tim Horton's gift card. Forms can be downloaded or picked up at the Leduc Civic Centre.
The Good Neighbours initiative helps to keep the growing City of Leduc a close-knit community, according to White.
"We have some wonderful residents and wonderful neighbourhoods … but we're growing, we've got new people moving in to start their families and taking advantage of all the great things the city has to offer so we want to maintain that small town feel that we always hear Leduc is known for," White said.
"This is just one way that we can encourage those connections and make sure the sense of community is alive and well for Leduc."
Along with the Meet Your Neighbour Challenge, FCSS is planning a Neighbour Connector Initiative and bringing back the Neighbouring Summit. The summit will take place in May and involve tips on how to connect with people in your neighbourhood.
The second Meet Your Neighbour challenge runs until April 11. More information can be found at www.leduc.ca/neighbourchallenge .

On Friday, 14 September SAPOL welcomed five new Community Constables at a graduation ceremony held at the Police Academy.
The four men and one woman graduated following a 16-week training course at the Police Academy. They received their appointments as Community Constables from Deputy Commissioner Linda Williams in a ceremony attended by Assistant Commissioner Linda Fellows, Assistant Commissioner Scott Duval, the Hon Corey Wingard Minister for Police, dignitaries and senior police.
Applicants for the program are selected from their local communities, generally based on their leadership and problem solving abilities.
In a process similar to police cadet recruiting, applicants undergo a range of tests including psychological and medical, while a panel interview marks the final step in the selection process.
When working alongside a police officer, Community Constables have full police powers. They must qualify and remain proficient in firearms, tactical options and driving requirements as required by any operational police officer.
Of the five new Community Constables, four have been posted to the four metropolitan Districts (one per District) and one has been posted to work in Coober Pedy in Far North LSA.
Their work will mainly focus on their relevant cultural groups, but scope exists for involvement in general operational policing.
After three years as a Community Constable, there are opportunities to transition to general policing, following a further 16-week Academy-based course.
Welcome to our new Community Constables.

The 2018 Kia Stinger Sold Surprisingly Well in America Last Year
In today's market, nearly 17,000 sales is nothing to scoff at.
By Kyle CheromchaJanuary 10, 2019
Listen—can you hear it? Like The Hum, shouts about the end of the traditional sedan are impossible to ignore. But now that 2018's final sales numbers are in, so is the fact that Americans bought nearly 17,000 Kia Stingers in 2018, a strong showing from a brand-new model with four doors and performance aspirations. So is the Stinger here to stay?
Let's get the necessary caveats out of the way first. First and foremost, the Kia Stinger isn't a sedan in the proper sense, but rather a five-door liftback in the vein of the Audi A5 Sportback or the Tesla Model S. Kia Motors also doesn't break out Stinger sales by trim, so there's no way to know how many of those 16,806 sold were top-tier GTs packing the company's 365-HP twin-turbo V-6.
Still, it bodes well for the Stinger that Kia was able to move just under 17,000 units despite the fact that it's a new model in a shriveling segment put forth by a marque with approximately zero motorsport heritage. It doesn't hurt that the Kia Stinger is a pretty damn good car, as we've highlighted before, with its comfortable interior, lively chassis, and subdued muscle backed up by the automaker's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Stack it up against the direct competition and the Stinger's promising start looks even better. One of the straightest comparisons is the $45,000 Audi A5 Sportback, which doubles as the Stinger's chief inspiration. Audi sold 26,000 A5s in 2018—but it also doesn't break down sales by individual body style, meaning that total number is boosted by the coupe and convertible variants.
We're not suggesting people are straight up cross-shopping the Audi and the Kia, which starts at a mere $33,000 (albeit with the weaker four-cylinder engine). Rather, the numbers suggest there are buyers out there who are seeking that "traditional" driving experience with a few mid-premium touches at a lower price point.
So what of the other midsize German four-doors whose entry-level models have typically filled that role? BMW moved 44,578 3 Series in the U.S. in 2018, while Mercedes sold almost 55,000 C-Class sedans, coupes, and convertibles. Shifting to its home continent, it also trails entries like the lukewarm Acura TLX (30,468) and aging Infiniti Q50 (34,763). Obviously, the Kia Stinger still has a ways to go.
But that doesn't mean its 16,806 sales are irrelevant. Far from it—in an industry where the SUV/crossover market share is projected to pass 50 percent next year, an entirely new car going against the grain and actually making a measurable impact is impressive. That's doubly true when the company behind it is trying to outrun its crapcan-laden history at the same time. Remember, this is Kia we're talking about.
A fully-loaded $50,000 Kia Stinger is still a hard sell. But its starting price puts it within the range of a well-equipped Optima sedan, of which Kia sold over 100,000 in 2018. Could the Stinger really take off with a few strategic pricing tweaks? It's possible. It's also possible that Kia is content for the car to act as something of a halo model to mostly bring bodies into dealerships. Time will tell what the second act of the Kia Stinger holds—just know that the first one has gone surprisingly well.

Q: Mozilla Firefox doesn't scroll smoothly on Ubuntu I have problem with Firefox on Ubuntu. When I scroll on facebook or youtube it doesn't scroll smoothly like it used to on Windows. It's hard to explain but main point is when I scroll down/up it doesnt go smoothly and it's obvious.

A: Firefox 46 brought GTK3 integration and true "pixel-perfect" scrolling for touchpads.
To enable it, you must set the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 environment variable.
There are a number of ways to do this, one of them would be to add it to /etc/environment and then reboot the machine:
echo MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/environment

A: I had this problem and for me, the fix was to set gfx.webrender.all to true in about:config. I have no idea why that fixed it or what it does.

A: I installed Ubuntu LTS 20.04 and Firefox scrolling wasn't as smooth as in other apps.
I followed advice from this link : in about:config, set layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true
Keywords for french readers: défilement doux de firefox saccadé

A: First of all, this is basic. Unplug your mouse, and re-plug it back in, into a different USB port on your computer. This may just be a loose connection. If that doesn't solve it, keep reading.
The problem could be a certain number of things, but I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities.

*

*Your mouse scroll wheel is having problems communicating correctly with Mozilla Firefox.

*Mozilla Firefox is having other problems, like not finding drivers for your mouse, or simply not connecting to it sometimes.
What I'd like you to do is download another web browser such as Google Chrome, and tell me if the scroll still isn't working. If so, it's a problem with your mouse/mouse drivers. If it does work on another browser, It's a problem with Mozilla. To fix the mouse drivers, just look up ('Mouse Brand Here') Mouse Drivers and download & install them. If it's a problem with Mozilla, just uninstall Mozilla, and reinstall it. If it still doesn't work, leave a comment.

Two New And Very Different Debates
Events | 07.09.20
In this GLASSi interview, James MacPherson, GGF Health, Safety and Environment Manager discusses his background, his plans for health, safety and the environment and previews two new and very different debates for GGF Members' Week including; "Health and Safety the New and Different Normal" and "Our World, Our Future", a look at how companies can play their part in helping the environment for future generations.
What attracted you to work for the GGF as Health, Safety, and Environment Manager?
I remember reading the job advert and it was hard to gauge at first. It sounded interesting, but I needed more details and when it was described to me, I immediately had visions of what that role could be. I was excited as this is an industry I am interested in.
Also, the challenges that the glass and glazing industry has from Health, Safety, and Environment are huge and complex and I was excited by the prospect of working with members to help them tackle those challenges. In addition, I think that trade associations are uniquely placed in the industry to coach and support members to succeed and drive change. With our relationships with stakeholders like the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), we can support members like no other trade body in our sector. However, I wasn't sure if that's where the GGF's focus lay, a lot of trade associations mostly signpost and collect data, but I wanted to get stuck in. So after a great conversation with John Agnew (GGF Managing Director) it was clear that we both shared the same vision, that we could do more and be more for members. I was instantly sold. I then just had the task of passing the interviews!
In the short time you've worked in the glass and glazing industry, what do you see as the big health safety challenges for the GGF and for you personally on the health and safety front?
For Health and Safety, the biggest challenge is breaking down the complexity. Health and Safety as a profession is constantly going through change. Health and Safety professionals are becoming increasingly people focussed. The best way to explain it would be my own example. Now working for the GGF, I have never worked in glass and glazing so I can't be a technical expert on the risks in the industry, but I can be an expert facilitator and coach of good health and safety practice and to ultimately help members. Similar to sport coaching, some of the best coaches were not the best players or even played the sport and this can be essentially an identity crisis for my profession – but a good one none the less. One of the big challenges for the Federation, is to help members ensure their safety systems reflect reality. A lot of us have safety clutter in our business and it's a challenge to fix that. Another major challenge is to shift a common culture in companies from being simply "compliant" organisations to being resilient organisations and in doing so, enabling businesses to fail safely.
The GGF Health and Safety Committee is a long running part of the Federation, what is the status of this crucial committee?
I am really excited to be involved with this committee and I have my first meeting on the 28th September. I am keen for this committee to be refreshed and to become a "think tank" for improvement and innovation in Health and Safety. We have a great group already but if anyone is interested in joining, please contact me. You don't have to know a thing about health and safety or have a NEBOSH, just an interest in betterment, a knowledge of the industry, and a curiosity for improvement.
I am also really keen to start an Environment Group to develop this side of the GGF, so keep your eye out for that and if people are interested in this side of the industry, then again, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Over the last four or five years, the GGF has produced some very useful health and safety brochures, are you planning to add to the library?
For sure, we have a few codes of practice, booklets, etc. and just before I arrived, the GGF had produced two excellent Safe Guides for homeowners and installers with regard to COVID-19 guidance. Before we develop new guides, we'll first, working with the Health and Safety Committee review the current library of publications. Thereafter, I want to build the resource for the members to use as and when it's needed. I see this being an information and multi-media mix of in-depth industry-specific codes of practice, bitesize guides, articles, videos, podcasts, etc. It will take us time to build this, but I am looking forward to developing it.
You are hosting two webinars during GGF Members' Week; on Health and Safety "A New and Very Different Norm" and on the Environment "Our World, Our Future", what can Members tuning into these webinars expect?
I am really looking forward to this. I wanted to do something a little different, not to say what we are doing has never been done before, but a lot of the time when we go to conferences, especially Health and Safety ones we get spoken to or worse just sold to and don't really learn anything.
So my aim is that members walk away from these webinars having learned something or have been inspired to make a difference. I am a huge fan of panel discussions. It's a way for the audience to hear different sometimes even polarized opinions. So both the Health and Safety and Environment webinars, will have two very strong panels and I will be happy to host and moderate. Both will be about looking forward to the short medium and long term future. It has been an unbelievable year so far and I want us to focus on the future and how we can learn from this extraordinary year. Members who login will be hear varied discussion on the future relationships between trade bodies, influencers, enforcers, consultants and architects. Not something you'll hear every day.
Finally, have you any plans for the GGF's Health and Safety Merit Scheme – the GLASS Charter?
The Glass Charter is a huge part of what we offer to members, however it has had relatively low engagement regardless of updates and reviews. We will refresh it to ensure it becomes the scaffolding that enables members to grow and improve their health and safety practice, standards and culture. We want it to be the framework that we can coach members through, but also we want it to be of real benefit to members – not just a badge of honour or assessment but something that is more meaningful. How do we do that? Well first things first, we need to discuss with members and find out their views? Why are they engaged with it? Why they are they not engaged with it? What would they want to see from it? It must be developed with the members' interests right at the very core. So in the near future, we will be surveying members and looking for them to discuss this with to help us develop the new Glass Charter.

After losing their homes to Hurricane Sandy, there are nearly 40,000 New Yorkers competing for new places to live. For many, it's meant moving from friends' homes to hotels to relatives' apartments. It's a constant journey of transition that's tough on people, but even harder for pets who don't understand why they can't settle into a home. To help provide a more stable living situation for four-legged friends, the A.S.P.C.A. has opened a gigantic pet shelter in Brooklyn that will house up to 700 dogs, cats and even a few more exotic animals like ferrets while their owners seek out more permanent lodgings. The first 30 days are free thanks to generous grants from people like celebrity human and pet chef, Rachel Ray.

Job description here technicians tweak or modify equipment to improve their performance, maintain records of upkeep, installations, and repairs. They also show the clients how to use equipment and its nitty-gritty. The technicians employ several tools to assess equipment and identify problems. The tools they use include pliers and screwdrivers.
Some telecom technicians work with PCs, specific hardware, and other diagnostic equipment. People who install lines outdoors and maintain them referred to as line installers and repairers.
Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers include central office technicians. The job that these people do is installing and maintaining equipment, such as routers, switches, fiber-optic cables, and others, at switching hubs, which are known as central offices. These offices transmit, process, and strengthen data from several telephones, cables, and Internet connections. Technicians fix problems remotely after they receive alerts when switch equipment malfunctions.
While some technicians work from distribution centers of cable televisions, a few others install and repair telecommunication equipment in locations, such as private homes and offices.


August 3, 2017, Peachtree Corners, GA, USA - The 2017 InfoAg Conference (https://infoag.org/) held on July 25-27 drew 1,400 attendees to Union Station in St. Louis, MO, USA. The event, started by the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) more than 20 years ago, brings together experts from all sectors of agriculture, from science and research to extension and technical support.
Dr. Steve Phillips, IPNI director and conference chairman, organizes the scientific agenda for the conference. "We identify timely topics of interest and keep it fresh each year," said Phillips. "As a scientific organization, it's important that the foundation remains science based agronomy," Phillips added.
The conference featured 104 exhibitors and 98 speakers. Sessions covered diverse topics such as nitrogen management, data analyses, precision application, autonomous vehicles/robotics, and hiring and retention.
"The last few years we've had sessions on finding the right people," Phillips said. "How do we build the right team so that consultants have the right mix of strengths to help farmers," he said.
Phillips receives positive feedback from attendees who are not sure what to expect from the event. "When they find out there is credible science here and practical take home information it makes me proud that we host the event each year," he said.
The 2018 InfoAg Conference will take place July 17-19 at Union Station Hotel in St. Louis, MO, USA.

Saint Lucia updates its Citizenship by Investment regulations to remain competitive in the investment migration industry
Castries, Dec. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saint Lucia has amended the regulations of its Citizenship by Investment Programme to remain increasingly competitive and ensure that the Caribbean country fulfils its mandate of growing demand for its investment products for the ultimate benefit of the people of Saint Lucia.
As one of the youngest Citizenship by Investment products in the market, Saint Lucia has made bold strides in offering an alternative investment option in the Caribbean's most developed and diverse economies.
The country's Citizenship by Investment Unit has taken a comprehensive review of its Citizenship by Investment offerings following approvals from the Citizenship by Investment Board and Honourable Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism, Investment, Creative Industries, Culture and Information, Ernest Hilaire. The below amendments to the existing regulations will take effect from 1 January 2023.
Developers applying for approved real estate under the Citizenship by Investment Programme or enterprise projects will now have to pay due diligence and background check fee of US$7,500.
The replacement fee for a lost or damaged certificate will increase from US$100 to US$500.
Investors who have been a citizen of Saint Lucia for 12 months or less that are looking to include a newborn dependent through the country's National Economic Fund will now have to pay a fee of US$5000, this has increased from US$500.
There is also an introduction of a new Bond Offer for investors purchasing non-interest-bearing Government Bonds with the following qualifying investment sums:
Category of applicant Bond purchase sum Bond holding period
Applicant and all qualifying dependents of any number US$300,000 5-year holding bond
Administrative fee (regardless of the number of dependants) US$50,000
To qualify for second citizenship through the real estate option, investors will have to invest a minimum of US$200,000, a reduction from US$300,000.
Saint Lucia is emerging as one of the fastest-growing economies in the Caribbean region and the nation is well-known for offering various investment and business opportunities for people looking for options to plan their wealth and diversify their portfolios.
The country's Citizenship by Investment Programme is a perfect choice as it offers ideal business opportunities to investors who do not want to be bound by border limitations.
The Caribbean country is recognized for providing a second home not just to investors but to their families too. The nation has been lauded for its advanced and modernized infrastructure. Saint Lucia has one of the most resilient, modernized education and healthcare systems in the region, which makes it ideal for investors and their families.
The Citizenship by Investment Programme of this Caribbean country attracts Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the nation which is used for advancing various projects such as the development of infrastructure, advancement of real estate, business expansion and job innovation.
The CBI Index 2022, published by PWM Magazine of Financial Times, reported that CBI is assuring the small island nation of Saint Lucia has become independent, developed and prosperous in the true sense. The report also recognized the programme for its "Ease of Processing" and "Due Diligence" Pillars. This year, Saint Lucia's Citizenship by Investment Programme climbed a spot and gained the third position.
Saint Lucia's Citizenship by Investment Unit makes sure that citizenship is given to credible applicants of good standing while their dependants over the age of sixteen are also subject to multi-layered due diligence checks, in order to qualify for alternative citizenship. Saint Lucia asks for detailed information from the applicants to understand the funding source of the investors who want citizenship.
On this due diligence aspect, Minister Ernest Hilaire recently addressed concerns and fears related to Saint Lucia's CBI Programme. He gave assurance that the government of Saint Lucia and its CBI Unit perform a strict and rigid due diligence process. Hilaire explained that the due diligence process is a multi-layered procedure noting, "Due diligence is performed by our Unit on all applicants, this is then followed by another due diligence check by the banks. This is then followed by due diligence checks by international intelligence units who also do on-the-ground assessments."
He also noted that the Government and Unit have been planning to review the country's CBI programme, making it more attractive as well as competitive. Minister Hilaire announced that these updates would maintain the country's rigorous but seamless vetting process.
While the programme is the newest in the region, launched in 2016, the Government has made sure to set the bar very high – the programme has been regarded as one of the most advanced, secure as well as transparent programmes.
Through the National Economic Fund, this prestigious programme has helped the nation to develop important public infrastructure. The funds from the programme have been directly contributing to advancing the standard of living of Saint Lucians.
Alternative citizenship in the Caribbean nation is emerging as a platform to alleviate and tackle the risk of uncertainty and unpredictability in future. There is no other better plan than investing in building a new home at a place which offers ample opportunities and, most importantly, peace out of the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Column: A word about apples — and varieties of a fall favorite
Posted on October 14, 2020 by The Independent News
Jane Bloodworth Rowe [Courtesy]
BY JANE BLOODWORTH ROWE
VIRGINIA BEACH — Nothing seems more American than apple pie – unless it is either apples packed into school lunches or spiced apple cider on Halloween.
Apples are such a part of our national identity that it's hard to remember that they're not native.
The ancestors of the apple varieties that are most commonly cultivated now were brought here by early European settlers, and they were spread throughout West Virginia and Ohio, at that time the Western frontier, by John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed.
They were cherished by frontier folk because of their sweetness, which satisfied a natural craving for people who rarely got sugar or honey.
Apples seem so wholesome that I was surprised to read in Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire that they were once grown largely to make hard cider, a practice that so enraged early Prohibitionists that some of them were on a mission to destroy every apple orchard in the U.S.
I was also surprised to learn that Johnny Appleseed, whom some consider a saint and others decry as a sinner because his exotic apple trees displaced the native species, was actually just a very shrewd entrepreneur.
He recognized the natural human craving for sweetness and established apple orchards at wilderness outposts that he later sold for a handsome profit to prospective farmers.
Locally, apples are most often associated with Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. I can remember visiting Apple Country once or twice with my family when I was a child, and I remember stopping by a roadside stand that was selling fresh cider. Mountain cider – even the non-alcoholic variety – is strong and bold enough to give a young child a bolt. I can testify that the frontier people must surely have been a tough, fierce lot if they routinely drank hard cider as a part of their daily rations.
Locally, apples haven't been widely grown, but I do remember that, as a child, I enjoyed the white June apples that grew abundantly on a tree in our yard.
These early-bearing apples produced a pale, yellowish fruit that had a very pleasant, distinctive taste. My girlfriends and I used to sit in the shade underneath the tree for hours on a summer day, reading our library books and munching the apples that fell on the ground. My mother also collected some of them for cooking, but most adults seemed to have little interest in eating them raw.
Red delicious apples were among the most popular when I was growing up, and, as an adult, I continued to select red delicious apples.
Now, local farm markets have introduced us to a wider variety and made Virginia-grown apples more widely available, whether they're from the mountains or grown locally by the Culliphers.
One year, the Cullipher family grew a vintage apple that was said to be similar to ones grown at Monticello. I found this small, very tart apple to be particularly delicious, and Mike Cullipher said that he may consider growing more vintage apples in the future.
I also have a particular soft spot for the Virginia-born-and-bred ginger gold, partially because of its mellow flavor and partially because of its inspiring backstory.
That apple was cultivated from a small chance apple tree that farmer Clyde Harvey found growing in his Nelson County orchard after Hurricane Camille devastated most of his crop in 1969 and which he named for his wife, Ginger Harvey.
Although apples are wonderful when they're eaten raw, many people associate them with fall desserts, and it's true that memories of walking into a warm house on a chilly fall night and smelling the warm, sweet smell of apple pie baking is one of those things that reminds many of us of home.
As a child, I would hang around my grandmother while she rolled her piecrust and sliced the apples, and I was always rewarded when she slipped me one of the apple slices that she'd rolled in the sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Unfortunately, rolling out pie crusts isn't my strong point. Although I still bake with apples, I'm more likely to make cobblers or crisps than pies.

Hello World broken outta the box?!
I finally got around to messing with Photon Cloud and it's pretty nifty. Particle demo works, but the hello world demo fails authentication. Same app id, I made sure it was the correct ID from under the Turn Based dashboard. Can anyone on the Photon Team confirm the demo is working? I'd love that demo as a starting point as since the particle demo is a little overwhelming.
Looks like hello demo is slightly outdated since we switched to nameservers.
For quick fix set MasterAddress = "ns.exitgames.com:5058" in cloud-app-info.lua (this is nameserver in fact, not master) and replace client:connect() with client:connectToRegionMaster("EU") in main.lua (or other region of your choice).
We will update demo in next sdk release.
Thanks Team, thanks for not pulling a PubNub and leaving all the examples broken, that broke my heart.
I've managed to get some of 'em working, but definitely looking forward to the fixed demos.
Corona SDKs updated. Please check and feedback.
I'm back and they work great! Man, that particle one is pretty dense, I'll have to map it out and see what everything does. It's pretty full-featured!

Dine Out Vancouver v2.0.15
Thursday, February 12, 2015, 5:39 PM - BQ Projects
Last year I had created a restaurant tool for myself for Dine Out Vancouver, an annual food festival in Metro Vancouver. I was frustrated in choosing a restaurant to go to with my friends for the last few days of the event. I just wanted to see which restaurants were near the area where we were meeting and which were the top-rated restaurants to try. I was frustrated so much so, that I just went ahead and made my own search tools.
So what I did was place all the restaurants on a map so the information could be browsed spatially, allowing one to pick a restaurant near them or a destination that they will be in. With over 250 restaurants, I also wanted to know which ones were good. So I cross referenced the restaurants with their Yelp scores and placed all the data in a dynamically sortable table, so people can sort the restaurants by the best score, most reviews, or other categories like neighbourhood and city.
This year, I checked to see if the official site was any better, but to my disappointment it was exactly the same. So I just reused the same code from last year and recompiled the data with the new restaurants and updated Yelp information. That just took me an evening, which was mostly spent fixing erroneous Yelp or maps data.
Last year's site saw about 500 views, I had only created it with 4 days left in the festival and sent it to just friends. This year, in the first 2 days of the festival it had 160 views. Over the course of the whole festival, the site received over 5300 views!
DOV 2.0 was also picked up by the Vancouver Sun, which ran an article on it!
I have received nothing but positive feedback from those who have seen it, and they really like it. They find it much easier to use than the official DOV site.
Dine Out Vancouver 2.0
Sunday, February 02, 2014, 1:14 PM - BQ Projects, Tech
In Vancouver, we have an annual festival called Dine Out Vancouver. It's a foodie festival of a few hundred participating restaurants, offering special menus just for the festival. It's a great opportunity to try out new restaurants or go to some restaurants you would otherwise have not gone to.
The official DOV site does has some useful features for choosing a restaurant - such as choosing by cuisine, price range, vegetarian or gluten free options. However it is missing some key features that that would make it really useful. In fact, in choosing restaurants to try myself, I became quite annoyed by the official site. I wanted to be able to browse a map to find a restaurant near me. As well I wanted to know which were the top restaurants to try. So my frustration led me to create DINE OUT VANCOUVER 2.0.
DOV2.0 has all the participating restaurants on a single map for easy location based decision making. As well, it has an interactive grid of all the restaurants mashed-up with Yelp ratings and reviews. All of them linking to the DOV menus.
It was more or less created for my own purposes, but others have found it quite useful. In the few days I have had DOV2.0 up, I've had 500 views from 340 visitors.
Another observation, Compass farecard readers UX
Saturday, January 18, 2014, 7:52 PM - Urban Design, Interaction Design
On observing a senior use a Compass Card on one of the bus readers. She couldn't tell or did not notice if the tap worked. She held it up to the reader, slid it around a bit, waiting for something. She then assumed that it must be fine and just continued onto the bus.
One reason she couldn't tell might be because her card can end up covering part of the screen. But the main reason I believe, is that the default start screen, which prompts you to "Tap card", shouldn't be green and then still be green after a (successful) tap. (It does change red, if the card was misread). In the half a second it takes to tap a card and board a bus, while other people are waiting behind you, with an old immigrant lady, with limited English and a different generational tech experience - you want an interaction with the interface to be as understandable as possible and not prone to "user error".
The Default screen should be of contrast to green (I would suggest white or light blue to go with the Compass branding) and then change the screen to green on tap (as the color green is synonymous with good, go, or complete). As well, the beep on tap from the bus readers needs to be MUCH louder, as it is barely audible (should be loud enough and at a more noticeable frequency to be used on a noisy bus or station).
Translink Compass Farecard Beta Feedback
Thursday, September 05, 2013, 10:26 AM - General, Urban Design
It is unclear if we have to tap in then out again on a bus, or if one tap is enough. What difference does it make if I only tap in? If I were on a pay as you go credit on the card rather than a monthly pass, could I possibly be charged more for tapping twice vs once? These are questions I would expect from many bus riders.
There should be clear labelling and instructions on what the protocol is for tapping in/out busses and it should not affect how much I am charged.
Compass card readers seem to easily interfere with other RFID cards in wallet.
The card reader beep, is an unsatisfying lower pitched, 1.5 second beep. It should be unique, like our skytrain tone. Just like the design of that tone, it should be uplifting and cheerful.
I would suggest three quick beeps, three notes increasing in pitch, similar to the skytrain sounds. I would also suggest starting in a higher pitch, as the current beep is barely audible in a noisy bus or station.
Also, the beep on the bus card readers are way too quiet.
Slightly slow, laggy response on the gates and the card readers. Its about a few tenths of a second slower than it should be. I was recently in Hong Kong and London and their reader response was instantaneous.
This was especially true, when using a monthly pass beyond it's 1 zone, and an add-fare needs to be charged, the system seemed to lag more.
Sze Yun Lo - "Release the Butterflies"
Thursday, August 15, 2013, 4:43 PM - BQ Projects
So this summer I had the pleasure of helping organize for a friend, an amazing Canadian artist, her first solo art show, showcasing 18 years of artwork!
Sze Yun Lo's body of work experiments with a variety of mediums, from the traditional watercolors of the Lingnan style, to more western mediums of acrylics, and even designed products.
She specializes in a style known as Lingnan - she is the youngest in Vancouver and one of the last of our generation that we know of still practicing the Lingnan style. She has been practicing art for 18 years and apprenticed under four local Chinese art masters. She was the last apprentice of Letty Shea (Lingnan School), and also apprenticed under art masters Mah Zi Ping (Lingnan School), Huang Su Ya (portraiture), and Kai Chuen Kam (Chinese calligraphy). Being a contemporary artist, she has experimented and mixed western mediums and styles, to push her art in unique directions. Unique as an artist in Vancouver - SzeYun brings a dying traditional Chinese art form, into a 21st century fusion. But just like Vancouver, her work is a mashing of East to West. The exhibition was on July 13th, at the Orpheum Annex. Designated pieces of art were also being auctioned to raise funds for selected charities.
If you are interested in any of her work,
please check out her Online Catalogue here!

Correction: Growing Up Digital-Smartphone Psychiatry story
In a story Jan. 3 about using smartphones to detect depression, The Associated Press misstated the title of Menachem Fromer. He is a mental health researcher at Verily, not the company's mental health leader.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Detecting depression: Phone apps could monitor teen angst
Detecting depression: Smartphone apps could monitor teen angst, identify kids at risk of mental health crisis
By LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
Rising suicide rates and depression in U.S. teens and young adults have prompted researchers to ask a provocative question: Could the same devices that some people blame for contributing to tech-age angst also be used to detect it?
The idea has sparked a race to develop apps that warn of impending mental health crises. Call it smartphone psychiatry or child psychology 2.0.
Studies have linked heavy smartphone use with worsening teen mental health. But as teens scroll through Instagram and Snapchat, tap out texts or watch YouTube videos, they also leave digital footprints that might offer clues to their psychological well-being.
Changes in typing speed, voice tone, word choice and how often kids stay home could signal trouble, according to preliminary studies.
There might be as many as 1,000 smartphone "biomarkers" for depression, said Dr. Thomas Insel, former head of the National Institute of Mental Health and now a leader in the smartphone psychiatry movement.
Researchers are testing experimental apps that use artificial intelligence to try to predict depression episodes or potential self-harm.
"We are tracking the equivalent of a heartbeat for the human brain," said Dr. Alex Leow, an app developer and associate professor of psychiatry and bioengineering at the University of Illinois' Chicago campus.
At least, that's the goal. There are technical and ethical kinks to work out — including privacy issues and making sure kids grant permission to be monitored so closely. Developers say proven, commercially available mood-detecting apps are likely years — but not decades — away.
"People often feel that these things are creepy," because of the tech industry's surreptitious tracking of online habits for commercial purposes, said University of Oregon psychologist Nick Allen.
Using smartphones as mental illness detectors would require informed consent from users to install an app, "and they could withdraw permission at any time," said Allen, one of the creators of an app that is being tested on young people who have attempted suicide.
"The biggest hurdle at the moment," Allen said, "is to learn about what's the signal and what's the noise — what is in this enormous amount of data that people accumulate on their phones that is indicative of a mental health crisis."
Depression affects about 3 million U.S. teens, and rates have climbed in the past decade. Thirteen percent of 12- to 17-year-olds had depression in 2017, up from 8 percent in 2010, U.S. government data show. One in 10 college-aged Americans is affected.
Suicide has risen to the second leading cause of death for ages 10 to 34. Rates among teen girls doubled from 2007 to 2015, climbing to 5 per 100,000. And among boys, rates jumped 30 percent, to 14 in 100,000.
A recent study suggested a parallel rise in smartphone use likely contributed.
People with mental illness typically get treatment "when they're in crisis and very late in the course of an illness. We want to have a method to identify the earliest signs," in an objective way, Insel said.
If smartphones prove to be accurate mood predictors, developers say the ultimate goal would be to use them to offer real-time help, perhaps with automated text messages and links to help lines, or digital alerts to parents, doctors or first responders.
Facebook is already doing just that with what it calls "proactive detection." After a livestreamed suicide, Facebook trained its AI systems to flag certain words or phrases in online posts that could indicate imminent self-harm. Friends' comments expressing concern about the user's well-being are part of the equation.
"In the last year, we've helped first responders quickly reach around 3,500 people globally who needed help," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in November. Facebook has not disclosed outcomes of those cases.
The ongoing research includes:
— A Stanford University study involving about 200 teens, including kids at risk for depression because of bullying, family circumstances or other life stresses. As part of the research, teens who have been tracked since grade school get an experimental phone app that surveys them three times daily for two weeks with questions about their mood.
Researchers are combining those answers with passive smartphone data, including how active or sedentary kids are, to identify any changes that might be linked with future depression.
Study participant Laurel Foster, 15, acknowledges feeling stress over academics and "the usual" teen friendship pressures and says depression is rampant at her San Francisco high school. She said using the smartphone app felt a bit like being spied on, but with so many online sites already tracking users' habits "one more isn't really a big difference."
"I feel like it's good to actually find out what is stressing you," Laurel said, endorsing the idea of using smartphones to try to answer that question.
— At UCLA, as part of a broader effort to battle campus depression launched in 2017, researchers are offering online counseling and an experimental phone app to students who show signs of at least mild depression on a screening test. About 250 freshmen agreed to use the app in the first year. Personal sensing data collected from the app is being analyzed to see how it correlates with any worsening or improvement in depression symptoms seen in internet therapy.
Sophomore Alyssa Lizarraga, who had the app on her phone for about six months, said it was "a little like the Big Brother thing. Half of me felt that way. The other half felt like I hope it will be useful."
Lizarraga, 19, has had depression since high school in Whittier, California. She has worried that she's "addicted" to her phone and spends a lot of time on social media sites. "People need to see the best side of me" there, she said, and comparing herself with others online sometimes gets her down.
But using smartphones in a positive way for mental health might help nudge people to seek early treatment, if they could see how their phone use showed signs of depression, she said.
— At the University of Illinois' Chicago campus, researchers studying depression and mania in bipolar disorder are using crowdsourcing to test their experimental phone app. Anyone can download the free app, and nearly 2,000 have so far, agreeing to let the researchers continuously track things such as typing speed, number of keystrokes and use of spellcheck. Participants include healthy people, and their data will help researchers zero in on changes in phone use that may signal onset of mood problems, said Leow, the psychiatry and bioengineering expert who helped develop it.
The study is for ages 18 and up, but if proven to work, the technology could be used in kids too, Leow said.
— Mindstrong, a Palo Alto, California, tech health company co-founded by Insel, the former NIH official, is testing a "digital phenotyping" app in several studies. Insel thinks the technology has promise to transform psychiatry, but that the most important question is whether it can be used to improve patient health.
— Verily, a tech health arm of Google parent company Alphabet, is developing a similar app but declined to elaborate beyond a statement from Menachem Fromer, a Verily mental health researcher. He cited two key goals: making predictions about someone's mental health and their symptoms and "discovering new subtypes of disease that may inform treatment decisions."

Where Do They Film Below Deck Adventure?
Bravo/YouTube
By Kay Banks/Dec. 17, 2022 4:20 pm EST
Bravo's "Below Deck" franchise has added another addition to its lineup. "Below Deck Adventure" follows a brand new boating crew, led by Captain Kerry Titheradge, as they sail around and tend to their super demanding, sometimes rambunctious guests. Judging by the trailer, "Below Deck Adventure" promises to provide viewers with the same insightful and oh so entertaining glimpse into the world of yachting as its predecessors. The video shows Bravo newcomers Faye Clarke, Jessica Condy, Kyle Dickard, Michael Gilman, Nathan Morley, Oriana Schneps, Kasie Fadah, Lewis Lupton, and Captain Kerry Titheradge, per IMDb, as they work to maintain an aura of professionalism during operating hours before letting loose once they're off the clock.
Of course, as with all Bravo shows, the line between business and pleasure gets blurred rather quickly as various cast members get acquainted in a hot tub. Heather Gay of "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" fame, who is one of two "RHOSLC" stars slated to appear on "Below Deck Adventure", also makes a spirited appearance during the trailer.
Unlike "Below Deck Mediterranean" and "Below Deck Down Under," which references their shooting locations, "Below Deck Adventure's" shooting location isn't decipherable from the title. However, "Below Deck Adventure" shoots in a place unlike any of the other spinoffs.
Below Deck Adventure is filmed in Norway
Vincent Cerone/Bravo
The "Below Deck" franchise has taken Bravo's cast, crews, and producers to several different corners of the globe. The original "Below Deck," for example, has filmed in places such as Antigua, The Bahamas, and the British Virgin Islands (via E! News). And that's just naming a few! Likewise, "Below Deck Mediterranean" has led its cast to Thailand, Spain, and Malta, per Travel Off Path. Now, "Below Deck Adventure" has gone where previous "Below Deck" casts haven't: Norway — particularly, the Norwegian fjords, per IMDb.
According to Scandinavian Standard, Norwegian fjords are "narrow inlets of the ocean between cliffs," which were created once "glaciers retreat, allowing the sea to fill in the remaining space." Per the article, there are over 1,100 fjords in Norway and they're all revered for their natural beauty. Unlike past iterations of "Below Deck," the Nordic Fjords are much chillier; however, Captain Kerry Titheradge believes that this will set them apart from the other shows. "It's a totally different set of customers and guests," Titheradge said, adding that, "We went biking down Trollstigen road, this road that has dozens of hairpin turns. They went paragliding, horseback riding. We got classy and did a fashion show in the caves" (via Entertainment Weekly).
However, there are a couple of downsides such as the "4-degree Celsius water and the dangerous wind patterns."
Below Deck Adventure has a super diverse cast
Ahead of November 1 premiere, Bravo gave a run-down of the cast's background. As it turns out, some of the lively characters members hail from some of the furthest corners of the globe, making it one of the franchises' most diverse groups. For example, Nathan Morley, whose biography describes as "shy and soft spoken," is originally from the Caribbean. although he's also pent time in Fort Lauderdale and Zimbabwe, per his Instagram. Then there's Captain Titheradge, who was born in Townsville, Australia. Jessica Condy, on the other hand, was born in South Africa. Lewis Lupton and Faye Clark are both from the U.K. Rounding out the group are Kasie Faddah, Oriana Schneps, Kyle Dickard, and Michael Gilman, who were all born in the U.S.
Morley, one of the show's breakout stars, even documents his worldwide travels on Instagram and provides fun anecdotes about his time around the globe. In a November 2022 Instagram post, Morley offered a deep dive (yes, pun intended) into sharks and how they play a role in his native Bahamas' ecosystem. He also noted that he "[works] on a lot on fishing charters here on Cat Island where we have a lot of white-tip sharks," and said "Its such a thrill being able to share my love for these amazing creatures with our charter guests."
