Nelson Blount II Standing at the end of a timeline looking back is a unique place to be. The old stories now turned legends appear like clips from a great movie where the “good guys” always win and the hard-working are always rewarded. The question is: can we provide that opportunity in the future? In the year 2000 I became president of Blount Fine Foods. It is a great honor and awesome opportunity to lead this company into the future. As the fifth-generation leader, I started with a great company: a resource of assets, an impeccable reputation, and a going-forward business model. Most important is the team that has continued forward—and this is our connection to the past. Each employee has worked with someone who has been there longer, and with five degrees of separation, we can claim that our team has been together for more than 120 years. Blount Fine Foods has provided a lifetime of opportunity for thousands of people over those years, and I am committed to providing thousands of opportunities in the future. However, the world has changed. Strategies that once lived on for decades now last just a few years. The competitive environment rewards those who are growing and takes away from those who are stagnant. On August 16, 1996, I was privileged to make a speech at our 50th anniversary party. At the event I remarked: “It is impossible to know exactly what we will be doing for the next 50 years. I do not know if we will be processing clams or Cocoa Krispies. Thus, my vision for Blount is not knowing ‘What we will do’ but rather ‘How we will do it’! Not ‘what products’ and ‘in what place,’ but rather, how we react to the market, carry out our relationships, and manage quality. In short, our performance will be defined by how well we manage change. We cannot be afraid of change—we must embrace it and be change agents.” This book is written as a tribute to those who came before us. We hope you enjoy it and learn something from it. I know I have! I am confident in where we are going but realize that I am not completely in control, and I am not alone. I thank all of you, all of our stakeholders, and most importantly God, who alone knows the end of the story! In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.

In the afternoon of September 21, 1938, the hurricane cut directly across Long Island and slammed into Rhode Island as a category III storm, its forty-foot wall of water toppling lighthouses and obliterating coastal villages. The storm struck at high tide, and as the surge came in Narragansett Bay rose some sixteen feet, the storm scour destroying nearly all of the state’s oyster beds.

  • A Review of the Malaysia's Heritage Delicacy Alongside with The
    Ismail et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2021) 8:19 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-021-00095-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access The Malay’s traditional sweet, dodol:a review of the Malaysia’s heritage delicacy alongside with the rendition of neighbouring countries Norsyahidah Ismail1, Muhammad Shahrim Ab. Karim1* , Farah Adibah Che Ishak1, Mohd Mursyid Arsyad2, Supatra Karnjamapratum3 and Jiraporn Sirison3 Abstract The Malaysia’s cultural heritage is authentic, unique and colourful with various local cuisines of different races and cultures. It is mainly originated from the Malay culture being the largest ethnic group in the country. The Malays themselves have contributed to many local cuisines ranging from appetiser, soup, main course and dessert. However, some Malay heritage foods have almost been forgotten and jeopardized in quality. This is especially happening to the Malay sweets or desserts which have gradually become less appealing to the younger generations. They are not even familiar with Malay foods, let alone consuming them. Among the popular Malay heritage foods in Malaysia are lemang, ketupat, rendang, wajik and dodol. Dodol specifically has been listed as one of the endangered heritage foods in Malaysia. Preserving the Malay cuisines is part of sustaining the Malay culture and this should begin with a great amount of knowledge and understanding about any elements within the culture itself. This article highlights a nostalgic and evergreen Malay’s traditional sweet, known by the locals as dodol by discussing its history, different types and names of dodol, as well as the recipes, preparation, cooking methods and packaging.

    Advances in Seafood Byproducts 43 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-03-01, 2003 Utilization of Fish Byproducts in Iceland Sigurjon Arason Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories, and University of Iceland, Department of Food Science, Reykjavik, Iceland Abstract Fisheries are the single most important industry in Iceland, and will con- tinue to play an important role in the economy of Iceland for a long time to come. In 2001 the total catch was around 2 million tons, accounting for 62% of the country’s merchandise exports. The living marine resources are, however, limited and it is important to utilize these resources in a sustainable way. It is also important to maximize their value by produc- ing high-priced products from the raw material, which is currently be- ing used for fish meal or simply discarded. For example, today all cod heads from land-based processing plants are being utilized and lately the freezing trawlers have begun freezing them onboard for processing on shore. Fortunately, most of the byproducts are no longer regarded as waste but are used as raw material for fish processing like roe, liver, mince, viscera, etc. The byproducts from salting, freezing, and canning fresh fish and other processes have different qualities and potentials. Therefore, quality management is important and new technologies are emerging that will allow a new range of products to be made from byproducts which will, for example, benefit the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries worldwide. Introduction The living marine resources in Icelandic waters are the most important natural resources in the country. In 2001, the total catch was around 2 million tons, (Fig.
