With a population of about 87,000, Nashua is the second-largest city in the three northern New England states. With proximity both to Lowell and Boston and to the cities, villages and mountains of New Hampshire, Nashua is an ideal starting point for an exploration of the region’s natural and cultural treasures. This year’s off-site sessions and evening events give you the opportunity to explore central New Hamp- shire’s cultural landscape. It includes the newly expanded McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Con- cord; the stunning addition to the Currier Museum of Art, and the SEE Science Center, both in Manchester; and the Nashua Historical Society, a local museum that is integral to its community. We hope you have the chance to see these, and the many other cultural attractions, large and small, that comprise New Hamp- shire’s vibrant cultural scene. We hope that you will be inspired by the beauty and history of New Hampshire as well as by the NEMA conference and leave invigorated, challenged and anxious to return!

    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

    ISSUE 004 REAL STEEL - NOISY BOY IN THIS SPECIAL DOUBLE-SIZED FOURTH ISSUE OF LOOKBOOK 3A, we take an extensive look at the fourth figure in our 1/6th scale Real Steel series - NOISY BOY. With each successive Real Steel release, 3A has pushed the boundaries for detail, articulation, paint application, electronics and engineering. NOISY BOY is the culmination of everything we’ve achieved with the previous Real Steel figure releases and embodies our most intricate and innovative features to date. NOISY BOY is a Japanese robot who fought Rubicon for the WRB belt in 2016. He had a WRB record of 15-1 (plus one loss to MIDAS as an illegal circuit fighter). His only WRB loss was to Rubicon in 2016 which was a close match up until the third round where Rubicon got lucky with an uppercut that knocked out NOISY BOY. His last fight was lost to MIDAS, at Crash Palace where Noisy lost his right arm and head. Noisy’s head was welded on the exit of Crash Palace. He has fought in Japan, London, and Brazil, and was created by Tak Mashido, the same bot designer who made ZEUS.
