A GRAVITY SU VEY A ERN NOTR BAY, N W UNDLAND CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author's Permission) HUGH G. Ml rt B. Sc. (HOI S.) ~- ··- 223870 A GRAVITY SURVEY OF EASTERN NOTRE DAME BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND by @ HUGH G. MILLER, B.Sc. {HCNS.) .. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. July 20, 1970 11 ABSTRACT A gravity survey was undertaken on the archipelago and adjacent coast of eastern Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. A total of 308 gravity stations were occupied with a mean station spacing of 2,5 km, and 9 gravity sub-bases were established. Elevations for the survey were determined by barometric and direct altimetry. The densities of rock samples collected from 223 sites were detenmined. A Bouguer anomaly map was obtained and a polynomial fitting technique was employed to determine the regional contribution to the total Bouguer anomaly field. Residual and regional maps based on a fifth order polynomial were obtained. Several programs were written for the IBM 360/40 computer used in this and model work. Three-dimensional model studies were carried out and a satisfactory overall fit to the total Bouguer field was obtained. Several shallow features of the anomaly maps were found to correlate well with surface bodies, i.e. granite or diorite bodies. Sedimentary rocks had little effect on the gravity field. The trace of the Luke's Arm fault was delineated. The following new features we r~ discovered: (1) A major structural discontinuity near Change Islands; (2) A layer of relatively high ·density (probably basic to ultrabasic rock) at 5 - 10 km depth. -

Bishops Falls ICSP
Town Name: Bishop’s Falls Type of ICSP: Stand Alone Created by: Town Council Projected Length of Plan: 5 years Community Profile A $7 million economic diversification fund was awarded to the community following the railway closure to assist in rebuilding the economy. The Bishop’s Falls Development Corporation was established to manage the fund and to attract new businesses to the Town, which decided to pursue manufacturing as a strategic sector. Sixteen years later, in 2004, the BFDC closed because the diversification fund had become exhausted. Community Assessment Economic Sustainability It is obvious that a large majority of residents are working full-time in Grand Falls- Windsor. Employment outside of NL is also a contributor to the Bishop’s Falls economy. Approximately 23% of those above the age of 18 are unemployed. There are roughly 70 businesses in Bishop’s Falls representing a broad base of sectors (manufacturing, transportation, construction, retail, services, restaurants, etc), 70% of which operate on a year round basis. Sixty percent of the respondents established their businesses after 1991. Governance Sustainability The town has a committed council and has voting privileges on the Exploits Regional Services Board, Exploits Valley Economic Development Corporation, and the Exploits Valley Joint Council. The town currently holds membership status with the Exploits Valley Tourism Association, Exploits Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Central Newfoundland Waste Management Committee. Cultural/Community Sustainability The communityof Bishop’s Falls has become apathetic – this message resounded during almost every consultation session. There is an important point to be made here – although the sectors are being addressed as separate areas, they are interdependent and interconnected with each other. -

Geology of Eastern New World Island, Newfoundland: an Accretionary Terrane in the Northeastern Appalachians

Contrary to belts of Ordovician and Lower Silurian rocks which, from bottom to top, previous interpretations, deposition of the sedimentary sequences in consist of mafic volcanics, limestones, black shales, turbiditic graywackes, this area took place in a single basin, although styles of deposition conglomerates, and mélanges1 (McKerrow and Cocks, 1978).

Evaluation of the Alternative Suspension Program
Evaluation of the Alternative Suspension Program by Danièle Laliberté RESEARCH REPORT: 2017–R008 RESEARCH DIVISION www.publicsafety.gc.ca Abstract The Alternative Suspension (AS) program, which aims to reduce criminal activity by increasing youth attachment to school, was evaluated. The evaluation sites were in Chilliwack (British Columbia), North/West Edmonton (Alberta), and Moncton (New Brunswick). The target group consisted of students 12 to 17 years old, who were experiencing difficulties in their academic and social life, and had been suspended or at risk of being suspended. A pre-post design with a non- equivalent control group was used. The evaluators collected data and also used school data and data collected by the implementation agency. Youth who were more likely to experience better behavioural outcomes had been referred to AS for substance use (29 times more likely), criminal behaviour (14 times more), or physical or verbal violence (12 times more). At the end of the school year, 75.2% of completers and 56.3% of the control group had at least one positive outcome. Overall 45.0% of AS completers successfully finished all their courses; 44.1% of these youth, and 28.8% of the control group “met or exceeded school academic expectations”. Overall, 59.0% of program completers and 38.1% of the control group improved their school behaviour. There was a decrease in disciplinary actions for 61.5% of completers and 39.6% of the control group. Around 3.8% of program completers and 14.3% of the control group had dropped out of school at the end of the school year. -

Island Studies Journal, Vol. 8, No.1, 2013, pp. 39-54 Stepping-stones to the Edge: Artistic Expressions of Islandness in an Ocean of Islands Laurie Brinklow School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania, Australia [email protected] Abstract: Since the earliest of times, islands have captured the artistic imagination—and, often, for the artist who finds his or her muse in being ‘islanded’, the smaller the island the better. Archipelagos offer an ideal setting for artists who take their inspiration from place: on small islands off islands they can experience an intensity of island living they might not otherwise have on a main island: boundedness and connection, isolation and community. This paper examines expressions of islandness by artists who live on islands off islands that are poles apart—‘archipelagos’ of the Canadian North Atlantic and the Great Southern Ocean. It draws upon interviews with those artists and writers to consider the nature of humans’ attachment and attraction to islands, exploring through the lens of phenomenology what Stratford et al. call the “entanglement between and among islands”. Keywords : archipelagos; artists; Bruny Island; Fogo Island; Grey Islands; insularity; islandness; Newfoundland; resilience; Tasmania © 2013 Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Thank God we’re surrounded by water… —Tom Cahill, folk singer, Newfoundland and Labrador The allure of islands goes back to the most ancient of times. “The importance of islands,” writes geographer Yi-Fu Tuan (1974, p. 118), “lies in the imaginative realm. Many of the world’s cosmogonies, we have seen, begin with the watery chaos: land, when it appears, is necessarily an island”. -
