Breastmilk is exactly suited to your baby's nutritional needs. It also protects her from infection and illnesses.
If you give birth prematurely, your milk will be slightly different from full-term milk. This is because your baby's needs are different from those of a full-term baby.
Because premature babies need more proteins for growth than full-term babies, your colostrum will have more protein than the colostrum of full-term mothers.
You'll also have more of an enzyme called lysozyme. Lysozyme attacks certain bacteria and helps protect your baby from infections. And your breastmilk will have more fat and less lactose, because premature babies find lactose hard to digest.
If your baby is late preterm (36-37 weeks), he'll probably be able to suckle breastmilk from your breast. But if your baby is younger, it might be weeks before he's able to breastfeed fully.
During this time your baby can still have your breastmilk, either through a tube that runs from her nose down into her stomach or by bottle or cup.
You'll need to express your breastmilk either by hand or by using a hand-held or electric pump. It's helpful to express breastmilk soon after your baby's birth and then to express every 2-4 hours to keep your supply up.
Like breastfeeding, expressing breastmilk is a skill you have to learn. If you have trouble getting the hang of it, the midwives, nurses or the hospital's lactation consultant will be able to help you. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Breastmilk is the best food for your baby. If it works for you, expressing breastmilk for your premature baby is also something that only you can do at the very time you might be feeling like there's nothing you can do. Our guide to expressing and storing breastmilk can help you get started.
Before your premature baby can suckle, kangaroo care can be a great way to help him get comfortable with skin-to-skin . It can also help you to produce more milk.
When your premature baby is ready to start breastfeeding, you might find that progress can be quite slow, especially if your baby was born very early or is very sick. Feeding is a complicated skill, and premature babies get tired very quickly. During this learning time, your baby might suckle only a very small amount of milk from your breast, with the rest fed by tube.
It can take some premature babies a while to get the hang of breastfeeding.
Mothers and babies do better at breastfeeding when they have support and help. The nursing staff or the hospital's lactation consultant will help you with breastfeeding positions and breastfeeding attachment techniques.
Sometimes breastmilk doesn't give premature babies all the nutrients they need. So your breastmilk might need extra protein, calories, calcium or phosphorus for bone growth. Thickeners might also be added to try to stop reflux.
If you can't breastfeed or express, you might be able to give your baby donated breastmilk. This might be possible if the hospital where you gave birth has a milk bank.
Donated breastmilk is pasteurised before it's given to your baby. The pasteurisation process does reduce some of the nutrients and the properties of the milk that protect against infection, but the milk still has enough to do your baby good.
There might be times when your baby's doctor suggests that your baby needs feeds of infant formula. There are special formulas for premature babies.
If you need to give your premature baby formula as well as breastmilk, it doesn't mean you should stop expressing or breastfeeding altogether. Many babies have a combination of breastmilk and formula, and any amount of breastmilk has benefits.
In the end, it's your choice whether to breastfeed or use formula. You can decide based on your own circumstances. Whatever feeding method you choose, you can still be there for your baby and comfort her.
If you can't breastfeed for whatever reason, express breastmilk for as long as you can and give it to your baby by bottle. Breastfeeding helps baby development, so it's good to breastfeed if you can.
Some mothers of premature babies have problems with their milk supply and can't feed their baby breastmilk. If that's the case, it's comforting to know that today's milk formulas provide the basic building blocks for growth.
Breastfeeding is linked to improved thinking and learning development and fewer behaviour problems in children aged five years. But if you have difficulty with breastfeeding, keep in mind that warm and loving parent-child relationships have a very positive influence on development too.

As you read this, I am somewhere over the Atlantic in route to Moscow. Unlike the unseasonable weather we've been having in Pittsburgh, this is real winter I am flying into.
It's not as bad as the last time you came along with me to Mother Russia, almost a year ago to the day. Moscow has had some snow for a while, but the daytime temperatures have been climbing to about 0° C.
But it's not the capital city that I'm worried about.
My primary purpose on this trip is to assess the progress the state energy majors – Gazprom and Rosneft – are making in their push north.
"Arctic Circle and beyond" north.
Now, I have no intention of going up to the "roof of the world" myself, although there is an offer on the able to meet some company folks in Murmansk (the largest community above the Arctic Circle).
I think a week in Moscow will be just fine, thank you.
Now both of these companies are available for retail investors in the U.S. only over the counter, through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on London or Frankfurt issuances. But both Gazprom (OTC: OGZPY) and Rosneft (OTC: RNFTF) receipts trade at considerable premiums to the Russian domestic shares, making them less attractive for purchase in New York.
In any event, I am not focusing on their stocks this time around. There is a far more pressing matter.
(2) has at least five years experience in offshore development.
Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia.
Aside from the government pulling their corporate strings, the problem is that the two companies have neither the technology nor the capital to avoid a rapidly developing decline in Russian oil production.
Just before I left the United States, I got a question from subscriber Stefan P. about Arctic production and its required technologies.
Stefan, it seems I am flying right into the first attempt to answer that very question.
First off, here is what we do know.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released its much-anticipated Circum Arctic Resource Appraisal (CARA) a few years back. It confirmed what many of us had assumed for some time.
CARA concluded that about 84% of undiscovered oil and gas is offshore, and much of it is located in three very large basins north.
And Russia controls access to at least two-thirds of this largesse. However, it is positioned in some of the most hostile environments ever experienced by engineers.
It is also going to be the most technically challenging and expensive series of development programs ever attempted anywhere. And Moscow has no choice.
To offset a crude oil and natural gas production decline that could reach 8% a year within a decade, Russia needs to move into eastern Siberia, to the northern Yamal Peninsula and further icy waters, and out onto the continental shelf of frozen Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and Chukotka.
These regions could likely yield a great deal of crude oil and natural gas, but it will be an enormous undertaking coming at extraordinary expense.
The main production basins in Western Siberia, the heart of Russian oil and gas production, are drying up. While some reserves are available elsewhere, only one place carries the promise of enough new volume to reverse the trend.
The problems besetting Moscow are twofold.
First, the country can't afford this level of investment. Second, Russia does not currently have the expertise to develop this level of production, even though it has managed to put itself in a statutory straightjacket in its attempt to push north anyway.
Russia needs foreign help, foreign experience, and, most important of all, foreign money. Yet as I said, the present legislation excludes outside companies from providing anything other than services to Gazprom or Rosneft.
And that simply is not enough.
An international major enters expensive new projects to book reserves. That means the company wants to acquire control over a portion of the oil or gas so that it can record those hydrocarbons as resources under its ownership. This is necessary to support share prices, especially under SEC rules in the United States.
Nothing under current Russian laws satisfies what an outside company requires.
Now Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) has recently entered into a highly publicized joint arrangement with Rosneft to develop areas of the Russian Arctic. But nobody knows what that really means, given the limits on foreign companies working on a Russian shelf.
Veterans both inside Exxon and outside are divided over whether anything of consequence will happen. Even if the laws are revised, Russia will not cede control of these areas to any company other than those run by the government. This is clearly framed as a national security issue.
So an impasse remains… and the clock continues to tick.
Well, I have a proposal to get around some of this. It involves a new way of looking at project finance. And while not realizing it, you have been with me while it has been developed.
Over the past six months, I have brought you along on my trips to Athens, Rabat, London, Mexico City, Krakow, Frankfurt, and now Moscow. Each has involved discussions of setting up the required network to meet the funding and logistical problems meeting me when I get off the plane this time.
Now it is time to see if the idea has any "real-world" traction.
I have bought some shares from Surgufneftegaz (SGTZY.PK) a while ago when you recommended it in one of your articles. The point is that I see it a good company, with low P/E Ratio, but as people does not know it, volume is low, and more or less it has not moved the price I entered by that days.
Do you have any update on the company?, or do you think is worthless to bet on it?? it is not a problem of time but I do not want to be sticked there forever.
Kent,Ive been hearing about Ithaca as a medium oil stock as well as SCS as a medium stock as well. Any thoughts? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Greg.
Give me some updates which company to buy,Russian or American.

My Ex-Spouse Won't Pay Support, What Can I Do?
July 22, 2019 By John Heilbrun
What you can do is to file what is called a "Motion for Contempt" with the Court that issued the Order. Generally, assuming that the Court did determine that your former spouse was not paying support, as Ordered, the Court will find that spouse in contempt, which means that the spouse violated the previous Order of the Court. The Court will Order that spouse to pay a certain sum of money within a certain period of time to pay back the amount of the support order that has not been timely paid, as well as requiring that spouse to continue making the ongoing support payments that shall come due under the terms of the Court Order. In such a case, and assuming the same is requested, the Court is also likely to Order the party who has failed to pay support to reimburse the former spouse who has filed the Contempt Motion for any attorney fees and Court costs incurred in connection with that matter. Ultimately, if the former spouse fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order issued in connection with the Contempt proceedings, the Court will Order that party to be incarcerated.
Fortunately, in the State of Ohio, if a parent is Ordered to pay child support, the law requires that such payments be made directly by the employer of the parent Ordered to pay the support by deducting the appropriate sum of the earnings of that parent. At least while that parent remains employed, this ensures that the child support payments will be made in the appropriate sum and in a timely manner.

This week you guys voted for a movie on my Instagram poll, instead of another series, and so my boyfriend and I made a list of all our favourite movies we've watched together and picked out our top 5. To carry on that same theme of 'not seeing that coming' from last weeks series 'The Sinner', we decided that this weeks movie would be 'Gone Girl'.
The film begins with a very personal and detailed insight into the marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne. When Amy goes missing on her 5th wedding anniversary her husband becomes the main culprit, and only becomes more suspicious as he hires a legal defence attorney (Tyler Perry) – What could he have to hide? As we start out on this hunt to find his wife, we learn more about who Nick and Amy truly are and what really happened to her.
This is a very twisted missing person's story, where you won't see the end coming. It is definitely a psychological thriller with a range of suspense throughout.
As a whole we rate this movie an 8.5 out of 10.
This sadly isn't on Netflix, however you can find it online. We hope you enjoy it!
This week you guys voted for a series on my Instagram poll, so my boyfriend and I decided to kick start our 'Netflix & Chill' posts with 'The Sinner'. This series is in our top 3 favourites and is one of the most recent series we've watched.
Jessica Biel plays Cora Tannetti, an ordinary mum who lives an ordinary life. Until one unordinary day at the beach leads her to commit an outrageous act of violence, and she has no idea why. When an investigator decides to go the extra mile to look into what exactly lead Cora to this moment of madness, we discover that all is not as it seems.
This series has a gravitational pull from the jump, and so if you enjoy the first episode you will love every other that follows. The 8 episodes take us on a ride that at first is terrifying in its intensity and is simultaneously astonishing in its deliberate pacing, but its conclusion leaves you feeling grateful that it is all over.
As a whole we rate this series an 8 out of 10.
Series 2 started yesterday, and we cannot wait to watch it tonight. But for all those wanting to start series 1, you can find it on Netflix.
I know I've said it before but honestly where is the year going? How are we in August? Anyways, I decided to do this blog post on my July favourites because there's a lot of new products I have tried recently, and a few products I have repurchased that I used to use and am loving all over again.
Lately my mum has a better and more updated make up collection than me, and so when I was playing around with make up looks one weekend I borrowed a few products from her. I used the Fenty Beauty skin sticks for my contour and my highlight, and I fell inlove. I love products that are creamy and that easily blend, and these are just that. My make up was absolutely flawless, and was just so radiant and natural looking.
Now everyone knows I love my Nars products, especially my all day luminous weightless foundation, and so when I heard about their new foundation I had to try it. And I can tell you now the Nars natural radiant longwear foundation does not disappoint. I'm still in the shade Syracuse, I'm so glad they stuck to the same shades in all their foundations, and I just am obsessed with it. You all need to try it.
Can we talk about Tatti Lashes please? They are now my all time favourite strip lashes. I tried 3 different styles – TL3, TL Mitchell and TL4 and I love them all. Their glue is also one of the best glues I have used for strip lashes, they helped the lashes stick so easily and quickly and I have never had to reapply any glue when wearing them. Just to add the packaging is so beautiful, and I just love how much thought and effort has gone into these lashes.
I went through a phase of trying out concealers this year, I had only ever used nars and so I wanted to try a few others. I bought the tarte shape tape concealer, MAC pro longwear and prep+prime concealers, and the L.A pro girl concealers. And so for the last couple of months I have been using those, and playing around with them. It wasn't until I borrowed my sisters nars concealer, when I was getting ready in her room, that I realised that no other concealer will beat it and so I repurchased it. I use the creamy concealer in the shade custard and I just think it's the perfect shade for my complexion. The concealer itself is so easy to blend and it just leaves me with such a flawless under eye.
And lastly I've gone back to using my Nars luminous moisture cream at night. With all this beautiful sun, I feel like my skin can occasionally dry out and so I just apply this at night to add a little moisture back into my skin and add to my glow.


More than 84,000 Nebraskans found affordable health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace during the 2016-17 open enrollment period, with 90 percent of customers last period receiving tax credits to make their plans more affordable.
Nebraskans will again have the chance to get covered during the upcoming 2017-18 Open Enrollment Period running from November 1 through December 15.

Parents need to know that Rio 2, the sequel to 2011's hit animated adventure Rio, is another colorful, musical tribute to the natural beauty of Brazil, this time in the Amazon. Although the human threats are less scary here than in the original movie, there are now potentially frightening scenes of wild Amazon predators (jaguars, crocodiles, etc.) swallowing their prey. It's portrayed comically, but it may still upset some kids. Nigel, the vain villain from the original, is back, now with a poisonous frog sidekick who's more than willing to do his bidding. Still, despite the predator-prey scenes, this is a lively musical adventure that's perfect for families who enjoyed the first Rio.
Nigel has a one-track plan to poison and kill Blu. His beloved poisonous frog companion is always willing to donate her poison for the cause. The blue and red macaws threaten one another and engage in a winner takes all "turf war" that turns out to just be an aggressive game of soccer. In an extended scene, loggers fight the birds with cranes and other construction vehicles, while the birds peck and descend on them. The loggers also tie up Linda and Tulio and leave them to the elements. Lots of physical comedy and a sequence in which animals keep getting eaten/killed (albeit comically) by predators in the Amazon (but later those same animals are shown miraculously fine). The bad guys are creepy looking and mean.
Insults like "idiot" and "stupid."
Plenty of positive messages, both environmental and personal. The story teaches kids the importance of the Amazon and keeping wildlife habitats safe from destruction and stresses the necessity of a close family and a home where you can be yourself. The movie also encourages viewers not to judge others by superficial differences, because characters who seem dangerous might not be and might actually be a friend or ally.
Rio has merchandise tie-ins to video games, apparel, and stuffed toys. One of the macaw kids listens to music on her iPod.
Adults are shown with champagne glasses.


Many of the top recruiting services in the country converged in San Antonio, TX to see some of the best prospects from the state on Saturday, March 5, 2016. The showcase was split into two sessions, middle school in the morning and high school in the afternoon.
The middle school session had numerous impressive players. Nobody stood out more than 2020 guard Sarah Andrews. Andrews can do it all offensively: shoot the three-ball with easy range well beyond the arc, finish through contact, and pass with either hand with precision and distance. She is an almost impossible cover in the open court. Andrews needs to continue to develop defensively to become the complete package. She is the early leader for the #1 player in the country in the 2020 class. Not to be outdone, 2020 Deyona Gaston, showed a terrific, versatile game. Gaston has elite size, athleticism, and skill. Her ability to shoot, plus her handles and size, make her a difficult opponent for players her own age. 2020 wing Myra Gordon—the younger sister of 2017 UCONN commit Lexi Gordon—showed a terrific all-around feel for the game. Gordon is a facilitator who sees the floor and the game as a whole at a very advanced level. She is a versatile, natural basketball player who will continue to improve with experience. 2020 guard Jordan Webster stood out with her ability to shoot the ball with range. Webster needs to continue to improve the other aspects of her game to compliment her outstanding shooting ability. 2020 wing Aja Holmes showed a versatile game for such a young player. Holmes did a very good job finishing over and through contact as well as showing a nice pull-up jump shot from the midrange. As Holmes extends her range to the three-point line, she will be a very tough cover on the summer circuit.
The high school session was loaded with players that will inevitably play at the next level. 2017 UCONN commit Lexi Gordon showed her balanced attack. She has greatly improved her range and consistency on her jump shot in the last year. Gordon's mixture of shooting from the outside, midrange, and ability to finish in traffic translate well to the next level. 2018 Nalyssa Smith showed an improving three-point shot. Adding consistency from the three to go along with Smith's ability to handle and finish with elite size and athleticism make her a top tier recruit in the 2018 class. 2019 McKinzie Green played against a lot of older girls and stood out. Green mixes athleticism with high-level skill; she is a smooth ball handler with deep three-point range. Green is able to use her vertical leaping ability to finish over and through traffic. 2018 Mallory Adams is a shooter with good size. She continues to develop her offensive game off the dribble and from the midrange to complement her shooting. 2017 Ellie Rice showed a nice all-around game. Rice has easy, deep three-point range and an ability to finish in traffic. Her all-around skill and motor will contribute to her game in college. 2019 Corina Carter is a dynamic ball handler and shooter. Carter uses her small frame to get to the lane and find open teammates off the penetration. As she continues to improve as a pressure defender, she will be an ascending player in the 2019 class. 2018 Lolo Davenport is a sharpshooting wing with good size. She complements her shooting with an exceptional ability to rebound the ball on both ends of the floor. As Davenport improves her capacity to get to the midrange and to the basket with her ball handling, she will be a sought after prospect in the 2018 class. 2017 Taylor Green is an improving player who did a terrific job of handling the ball under pressure and finding teammates in a timely manner. Green is a floor leader who has a high level understanding of the game. Her ability to defend multiple different types of guards will help her at the college level. 2017 Avionne Alexander has a strong all-around game. She shot well from the midrange and finished in traffic. Alexander did an outstanding job of defending multiple positions and different types of players. With continued consistency from her outside shooting, she will be a rising player in the 2017 class.

Our summer camp is a safe, nurturing, inclusive and fun environment where children discover new things about themselves and the world around them. Our year-round programs and retreats bring generations of people together through unique and dynamic experiences in Jewish living and learning. Our love of community also extends beyond our campus as we have forged lifelong bonds with our neighbors, fellow faith groups and local organizations in Rabun County and beyond. We are proud to be a part of this vibrant community that bonds, not only in times of joy, but in times of need.
Our intergenerational programming invites everyone to explore their Judaism, connect through nature and celebrate our wonderful and rich culture and heritage. There's truly something for everyone all year long.
Our camp directors, counselors, staff, artists-in-residence, guest lecturers, and on-site professionals are among the best in their fields, passionate about Judaism and their communities. We pride ourselves on carefully choosing each and every team member who interacts with our campers and guests.

Pittsburgh Fashion Designer Gifts $25,000 to AHN Women's Behavioral Health Program
Pittsburgh, PA – David Alan Clothing, a renowned Pittsburgh-based fashion design company, and DBM, a Pittsburgh-based digital marketing agency have gifted the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Women's Behavioral Health Institute $25,000 to support an expansion of technological resources and back-to-school kits for patients and their families.
"The covid-19 pandemic, transportation and child care can present major barriers for some patients to access in-person appointments for behavioral health treatment," said Sarah Homitsky, MD, psychiatrist and director of the AHN Women's Behavioral Health program. "David Alan's generous gift allows AHN to provide devices that make telemedicine appointments easier and allow mothers to continue critical care journeys with their clinicians and behavioral health specialists."
The $25,000 gift will provide the Center with funding to provide devices and technology equipped with video software that facilitates telemedicine appointments. In 2016, the AHN Women's Behavioral Health program integrated the use of tablets for initial screenings and specialized perinatal mental health visits. More than 2,000 women have been referred to the clinic over the last year alone averaging 50 new referrals each week.
Under the direction of Dr. Homitsky, the Women's Behavioral Health program has designed new models of mother-baby mental health care so that patients do not have to be separated from their babies to gain access to treatment.
"AHN afforded us the opportunity to pay it forward in a way that made a positive impact for a significant number of families from our hometown," said David Alan, CEO of David Alan Clothing & DBM. "We're thrilled to support their critical mission to increase awareness of and address such a prevalent mental health condition, and do so in a way that also considers social determinants of health across the region."
According to the CDC, rates of birthing women with a depression diagnosis increased sevenfold from 2000 to 2015, and postpartum depression affects one in eight women in the United States. Research has also shown that the effects of maternal depression can negatively impact a child's growth and development. Financial hardship and the inability to provide back-to-school materials and equipment can also further exacerbate the condition.
"With increased safety measures implemented throughout the pandemic, some patients have experienced in person appointments transitioned to virtual appointments. We would be remiss if we didn't recognize that telemedicine requires equipment that some individuals simply do not have at the ready," said Allie Quick, AHN chief philanthropy officer. "That's why gifts, like the one from David Alan Clothing, are so vital when it comes to fulfilling our mission to create remarkable patient experiences. We're beyond grateful for their extreme generosity — it will go directly toward increasing vital access to care to local moms and families in need."

There is a wonderful painting in the art collection of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia which depicts the historic meeting of the HBC schooner Aklavik with the RMS Nascopie at Fort Ross, Northwest Territories. In 1937 the Nascopie sailed from the Eastern Arctic to Prince Regent Inlet and into the Bellot Strait to allow the Hudson's Bay Company to establish Fort Ross. While there she was met by the HBC schooner Aklavik which had sailed into Bellot Strait from the Western Arctic.
The Hudson's Bay Company commissioned Canadian artist Thomas Harold Beament (1898-1985) to paint a picture depicting the meeting of the two vessels. Beament was a prominent Canadian painter who worked extensively in the Arctic. Frequently he, along Lawren Harris and A.Y. Jackson (of Group of Seven fame), travelled to the Arctic to capture the remote lives of the Inuit peoples on canvas. Beament served in the RCN as a War Artist during the Second World War. His paintings now command superior prices in the Canadian art market.
The painting was apparently one of a collection of paintings commissioned by the HBC depicting important events in the history of the company which were intended to illustrate a company calendar. By the time the paintings were completed the Second World War was looming and the company cancelled the calendar project. Former HBC Chief Factor Jack Wood told me that interest in the use of the Northwest Passage 'evaporated' for commercial purposes fell out of favour and internal company politics trumped the publicizing of the event. Apparently the Beament painting itself became an embarrassment to the HBC management of the day (the reason is unclear) and it was relegated to storage behind an office door where it remained for some years. When Jack Wood retired from the HBC the painting was given to him as a gift, (Apparently because no one else in the company wanted it).
In 1992, I met Jack Wood in Victoria BC at his home where he presented the painting to the collection of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. By this time it had a hole accidentally punched in it but was still a magnificent image of an important event in Canadian history. Unfortunately the painting has never been put on display so it continues to remain unknown to the public in spite of its significance to the history of Canada's North.
The RMS Nascopie was designed and built at Wallsend on Tyne by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson of Newcastle, England and launched on December 7, 1911. She displaced 2521 gross tons with overall dimensions of 285.5 feet x 43.8 feet x 20.2 feet. She was powered by 339nhp triple expansion steam engine. When built the Hudson's Bay Company owned the majority interest in her and the Job Brothers, a Newfoundland fishing and packing company, owned a minority. In July of 1912 the Nascopie began the first of thirty–four voyages through the Hudson Strait as a supply ship for the Hudson's Bay Company posts in the Arctic. She was granted the designation RMS (Royal Mail Ship) in 1935 when contracted to carry a postmaster and was officially considered a travelling post office.
Her principal Master was Captain R. Smellie OBE, who was famous for his skill in Arctic navigation. The Nascopie was originally registered in London but was later moved to Montreal. She was an essential carrier for the RCMP and for several Federal government agencies. In 1933-1947 she executed the Eastern Arctic Patrol. On a voyage in 1947 she struck a reef near Cape Dorset (Baffin Island) and sank.
The Aklavik was built in Vancouver in 1923 and transported overland to Fort McMurray Alberta. She was floated down to Fort Fitzgerald where she was hauled out for portage to Fort Smith NWT where the engine was to be installed. It was a gruelling process that optimistically proposed a mule team to move her. Mickey Ryan, who later became the Traffic Manager of HBC's Mackenzie River Transport section in the 1930s and also a major speculator/investor in northern gold exploration, attempted it – cracking whips – but the mules could not move her. A winch with multiple blocks nested inside each other was used but progress was very slow. In fact, too slow. The HBC's rivals, the Alberta and Arctic Transport Company a subsidiary of Lamson and Hubbard, was hired to complete the portage. The firm used two big tractors to pull Aklavik through at cost of $1000 per day. Reportedly the HBC was "mad as hell that the mules couldn't do it". By 1924 the HBC had taken over their competitor and all it's assets – presumably including the two big tractors!
Going down the bank was easier – jacked down skids. Shear legs allowed them to lower the engine in for installation at Fort Smith. It was an old Wolverine from a tug back east equipped with igniters instead of spark plugs. It was started with gasoline and after it got going it was switched to cheaper distillate as fuel.
Scotty Gall served as Second Engineer in the HBC vessel Aklavik on the voyage from Fort Smith to the Arctic Ocean in 1923. He was a long-time employee for the HBC and worked in many capacities over his 20+ year career. He crewed and skippered a number of HBC freight vessels, drove dogsleds, managed mails and finished his time in the Arctic as the post Factor at Cambridge Bay from 1939 until 1948.
In 1923 when Scotty Gall was first on the vessel it was empty – there was literally nothing inside except the engine – no finishings of any kind. Gall built some furnishings later on and many others contributed over the years. Bunks were built into the fo'c'sle but most of the space was kept for freight. As they went down the river towards the Arctic Ocean they met Pete Norberg who joined the vessel having traversed the mountains at Fort Simpson to catch up to them to take over as her skipper. Aklavik had to transit the Sans Sault Rapids and hit many of the sandbars with her six foot draught. One mast was broken but with the Jolly Boat and two canoes lowered over the side and the Aklavik filled with weight to make her heel over to draw less water she eventually made it through the rapids. Gall recalled that "to a kid just out from Scotland this was high adventure. It seemed as though it couldn't get any better." Henry Jorn replaced Norberg as skipper and eventually Scotty Gall took over.
With the cessation of exploration by the company Gall returned to seafaring with the HBC in 1930. As a skipper he was earning $150 per month all-found which he considered to be a good rate of pay. The company was interested in extending their influence and in creating commercial sea links in the Northwest Passage. To that end, Aklavik sailed from the west through Bellot Strait in 1937 becoming the first HBC vessel to do so and making a partial Northwest Passage transit in the process. From the Eastern Arctic the RMS Nascopie sailed, transiting Prince Regent Sound to meet the schooner in Bellot Strait at the fledgling Fort Ross. There the Nascopie took on cargo from the Aklavik and demonstrated the commercial viability of the Passage. The Aklavik returned through Bellot Strait after the meeting and returned to the western Arctic. The Hudson's Bay Company presented Gall with a silver cigar box as a token of esteem and reward that year. At the time he had hoped for something more tangible but in 1991 he considered it as one of his most prized possessions.

In 2004 the Hudson's Bay Company commissioned model maker Bill Ballenger to build a detailed model of the Nascopie which is now on display in an HBC Gallery in Montreal QC, the city of her former home port.
Captain T.F. Smellie spent his working life afloat. He was the Master of the Crosby for the Furness Line when the ship was taken over by the Hudson's Bay Company as the Baycross. He then entered HBC service and remained with them until retirement. In World War One the HBC controlled a great deal of merchant shipping and he was Master also of the Bayverdun. In 1917 he was Master of the Nascopie. He was the Master of the Bayrupert when she sank off the coast of Labrador after being impaled on a pinnacle of rock near the Farmyard Islands. After that event he was again the master of the HBC ship Nascopie in the Eastern Arctic Patrol. He made a brief project of attempting to find a route into the Mackenzie River Delta for shipping after the loss of the Lady Kindersley and the Baychimo. He was retired as the Master of the Nascopie when she sank in the Arctic in 1947. He retired from HBC service at the end of World War Two.
