The Scoop Volume XV, Issue 11, December , 2002 This newsletter is published by The Connecticut Lighter Than Air Society for its members and interested parties. Portions of this publication may be reproduced if credit is given to the writer and to CLAS. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the organization or mem- bers of this organization (but if they were they’d be damn good ones). For more information, contact Mick Murphy Editor PO Box 53, Southbury, CT 06488 In the 1700s, a scientist was someone who thought about the way things work and tried to figure out ways to make things work better. Today, that definition is still true. Every time Ben Franklin saw a question and tried to answer it, he was a scientist. Every time you ask a question and try to get an answer, you too are a scientist. Ben is most famous for his questions about electricity, but he also experimented with many other ideas in nature. In 1743, Ben observed that northeast storms begin in the southwest. He thought it was odd that storms travel in an opposite direction to their winds. He predicted that a storm's course could be plotted. Ben rode a horse through a storm and chased whirlwind three-quarters of a mile in order to learn more about storms. So, in a way, Ben was a weatherman too! He even printed weather fore- casts in his almanac. To- day's meteorologists don't chase storms on horseback, but they do continue to plot the course of storms. -

The Impact of the Financial Crisis on Agriculture and in Particular on the Consumption and Demand for Bananas and Fresh Fruit in Europe1
Journal of International Farm Management Vol.5. Ed.1 ‐ November 2009 THE IMPACT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS ON AGRICULTURE AND IN PARTICULAR ON THE CONSUMPTION AND DEMAND FOR 1 BANANAS AND FRESH FRUIT IN EUROPE John Moverley & Carl Atkin Introduction Thank you for the invitation to be with you. It is both an honour and a privilege. I have spent my career in the agriculture and horticulture industries covering the public, charitable and commercial sectors. I have operated commercial businesses and guess I can offer some experience to discussions – the ewhit hair is proof of this. What I would say is that I am not an expert on bananas and the perspective of this paper is very much looking at bringing a European dimension to the discussions of this conference. I am equally always wary of terming myself an expert. I think the definition is ‘Someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing! The old Chinese proverb reads ‘We live in interesting times’. I guess that to most Europeans in recent times, that would be an understatement. It is easy to forget, given the pace of change, that not many months ago, it started with spiralling oil prices, bringing with it increased costs and concerns about inflation. It was followed quickly by the realisation at last that, despite the very important discussions and actions on issues such as climate change and the environment, food security was a major issue both globally in determining how we would feed our rapidly increasing population, with significant changes in dietary needs, and also food security at individual country level. -

An Abstract of “The Sinews of Memory:” The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940 by Steven A. Bare Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo December 2018 “The Sinews of Memory:’ The Forging of Civil War Memory and Reconciliation, 1865 – 1940,” explores the creation of historical memory of the American Civil War and, its byproduct, reconciliation. Stakeholders in the historical memory formation of the war and reconciliation were varied and many. “The Sinews of Memory” argues reconciliation blossomed from the 1880s well into the twentieth-century due to myriad of historical forces in the United States starting with the end of the war leading up to World War II. The crafters of the war’s memory and reconciliation – veterans, women’s groups, public history institutions, governmental agents, and civic boosters – arrived at a collective memory of the war predicated on notions of race, manliness, nationalism, and patriotism. -
